In 2012, I started a thread about a review I did of bone conduction headphones. I like how they worked but didn't like their design.
In January, 2016, I had the opportunity to follow-up on this review by using the newest, wireless bone conduction headphones offered by Aftershokz.
I've written a new review of these newest bone conduction headphone. For those interested. They are quite pricey ($130), but I really like them.
Some highlights of the review:
The headphones are wireless, which is a real improvement over wired earbuds.
Controlling the audio is easier using the button next to my ears than the controller on the earbud wire.
They work as advertised. I could hear my audio clearly and also any ambient sound.
They use an on-board battery and can operate about 6 hours on a charge.
They require Bluetooth.
Like earbuds, you can receive and make calls with them.
They aren't adjustable and with certain kinds of clothes (those with high collars) the "slapping" can be a bit annoying.

I think it is more some bones in your head vibrate. You can't actually feel the vibrations unless you turn the volume up full.
