Hear your music without getting run over, with Conduit Sounds Motion off ear headphones

  • Ron 

Bicyclists who wear earphones while riding are often prone to accidents because their earphones block out their surroundings. It’s a problem that most earphones, ear plugs, and audio headsets have. Conduit Sounds innovative, resonant headphones let you hear your music – and with their off ear design, your surrounding environment – thus avoiding any potential accidents.

“Situational awareness, or sensing your environment is critical to bicycle safety,” said Dave Nghiem, COO and Director of Sales at Conduit, who is also a daily bicycle commuter in Washington D.C. “D.C. has some of the worst drivers in the nation. I wear these headphones all the time because I’m listening to my audio books, and I also don’t want to get run down by reckless drivers. I can hear my books and the impending roar of an engine behind me, which lets me get out of the way.”

The headphones use an innovative resonance technology, which passes the sound through the mastoid bone to the inner cochlea. This substantially reduces the risk of hearing damage, and benefits active users who want to maintain situational awareness of their surroundings while also listening to their music.

“Terrific sound quality. Kind of magical when you feel the sound vibrating through without going into your ear. Can hear perfectly what’s coming out of the headphones as well as what’s going on around you, e.g., conversations, or if you’re for example biking, can hear traffic noises and be safe,” said William Han, a Conduit Motions user.

They connect to any Bluetooth capable device, and  are also equipped with a noise canceling microphone to take calls. They have a six hour battery life from a single charge and are comfortable and ergonomically designed, lightweight, and water resistant. For cyclists wearing a helmet, their slim, lower back head design keeps them out of the way of helmet straps, most helmet tops, and ensures comfort while riding.
