What are the characteristics of ORII bone conduction Bluetooth headset compared to ordinary headphon

Although many people are still using wired headphones, with the continuous development of wireless transmission technology, the wireless use of headphones is definitely the general trend. Recently, there was a crowdfunding campaign for a Bluetooth headset on Kickstarter, but it is not a headset, an earhook, or an earbuds, it looks like a ring.

The crowdfunding for this Bluetooth headset orii was launched by a company called origami labs. According to reports, this Bluetooth headset transmits sound through bone conduction. Users usually wear this earphone on their fingers, and when they use it, they can hear the sound of the earphones by pressing their fingers against the bone next to the outer ear door.

In recent years, we've seen quite a few oddly shaped Bluetooth headphones (headset, earhook, or earbuds). However, what we want to introduce in this article is a "bone conduction ring bluetooth headset" project launched by Origami Labs on Kickstarter called "Orii". As the name suggests, the headphones transmit sound through bone conduction technology, and you can usually wear it like a ring on your finger.

When you need to listen to sounds, you need to put your fingers in your ears, and it also supports custom message notifications.

Orii isn't a delicate piece of jewelry, but it has a unique charm. With the ORI app, you can choose to allow those apps to send notifications to the ring and set the color of the LED lights. Orii pairs with your phone via Bluetooth, enabling incoming and outgoing calls** and notifications without having to pull your phone out of your pocket.

The current Orii "Bone Conduction Notification Ring" is crowdfunding on Kickstarter with a starting price of $99.

Orii can also be used to send voice commands to services like Apple Siri or Google Assistant. Bone conduction provides high sound quality, and there are a bunch of noise-canceling microphones on the ring so that the other party can hear the user's voice clearly.

Put your finger in your ear and you can hear the sound coming from the Orii bone conduction headphones. Because of the peculiar way of using ORII, it is not suitable for use in all environments (such as cycling or driving). However, as a ring, at least the user does not have to worry about losing it easily.

As of press time, nearly 300 netizens have contributed $10,000+ to the ORI bone conduction Bluetooth headset project, and the original fundraising goal of $30,000 was reached 29 days before the end of the event.

Bone conduction headphones are a popular digital product, very popular with young people and athletes, the use of bone conduction headphones does not need to be plugged into the ear, can keep the ear canal clean, compared with the long-term use of traditional headphones, it is of great help to ear health.

Bone conduction headphones have the following advantages:

1. It can avoid noise doped in the air, so it has a strong noise reduction ability.

3. The ambient sound and the earphone sound are clearly distinguished, the ambient sound is conducted by the air, and the bone conduction headphones use bone conduction, and the two sounds are not in the same dimension, so you can hear the environmental sound clearly and clearly, and the feeling is very wonderful.

Ordinary headphones must be plugged into the ear, bone conduction is not required.

The advantages and disadvantages of bone conduction Bluetooth headsets are as follows:

Advantages of bone conduction headphones: bone conduction is the use of bone vibration sound transmission principle, the sound is directly transmitted through the skull to the ear nerve inside the ear, because bone conduction headphones do not need to be put in the human ear, which is very helpful to maintain the hygiene inside the ear, bone conduction headphones are fixed on the head, and will not fall off during exercise, which will not affect the good mood of running and listening to songs.

Disadvantages of bone conduction headphones: because it is through the skin, bone and skull and then conducted to the ear stribulae, the separation brightness and reduction degree of ** are worse than those of in-ear headphones, although bone conduction headphones can clearly transmit sound through the skull into the inner ear, but for the sake of wearing comfort, the bone conduction headphones will not be close to the skull, so a part of the energy will cause air vibration and then produce sound leakage.

The working principle of bone conduction bluetooth headset is Jingqin:

The propagation medium of sound includes solid, liquid and air, and in general, the way of sound waves into the human inner ear is air conduction and bone conduction, air conduction is the well-known sound waves through the auricle and the external auditory canal to the middle ear, and then through the ossicular chain to the inner ear, bone conduction is the sound wave through the skull, jaw and other head bones vibration, the sound is transmitted to the inner ear.

Bone conduction is another very important way of hearing in addition to air transmission, people use this method to create a lot of bone conduction hearing devices, traditional headphones are mainly through the air for sound transmission, bone conduction headphones are with the help of the temporal bone of the head, for sound propagation, and finally in the form of sound waves directly conduct the first beat sound to the auditory nerve.

Advantages of bone conduction headphones

1.Free your ears and protect your hearing

Bone conduction headphones do not need to be in the ear at all, which will protect the ear to a certain extent, and will not cause the sound waves to come into direct contact with the eardrum, reducing damage to the external ear canal and eardrum.

2.More suitable for sports

Because of the release of both ears, during the jogging process, you can pay more attention to the surrounding environment, and at the same time indulge in the first in the exercise, and ensure personal safety. The ear-mounted wearable design is more firm during jogging and is not easy to fall.

3.Comfortable to wear.

Traditional in-ear or semi-in-ear headphones generally hurt the ear after wearing it for a long time, while bone conduction headphones do not need to be in the ear, and it is more comfortable to wear for long-term use, which is the gospel for patients with small ear piercings and otitis media.

At present, bone conduction headphones are still a new type of products, the market is still relatively small, try to choose well-known brand products when purchasing, so there will be a better user experience, such as Nanka he Shaoyin belongs to the domestic brands in the market share of the bone conduction headphone brand with a relatively high market share, they can be the first choice

1. NANK Runner Pro3 bone conduction headset

Nanka is the first earphone brand in China that does not hurt the earsIt is also the first brand to put forward the concept of listening to songs without listening to the ears and has achieved a perfect integration for different groups of people, the most representative of which is this South Carolina runner pro3. The overall appearance is designed with a unique curve similar to that of a seahorse, which looks full of agility, and the silicone skin-friendly material will not be cool when used outdoors in winter now, and the wearing comfort is very high.

In order to solve the problem of sound leakage of bone conduction Bluetooth headsets, Nanka has developed OT closed sound leakage prevention technologyNanka has gradually improved the oscillator, body design, software optimization and other directions of the earphones, this Nanka Runner Pro3 adopts Nanka OT closed sound leakage technology technology, and the final sound leakage can be reduced by 90%.

2. Shokin AS800 bone conduction headphonesShokin Aeropex AS800 bone conduction headphones, warm and skin-friendly silicone material, open ears wearing style, can give more sense of security. With the blessing of the CVC noise reduction algorithm, when calling, it will basically not be affected by the external environmental sound, and the human voice is relatively clear. A Bluetooth version is also used, which improves the stability of the Bluetooth connection and brings lower power consumption.

Shokin AS800 is a bone conduction headphone, specializing in "sports", and the sound quality part is not its core.

It avoids the wearing discomfort caused by the in-ear style, and at the same time, it is relatively firm and not easy to fall.

This is a relatively modern new type of headphones, which uses the relevant vibrations of our human skull to effectively transmit such sound to our inner ear; There are certain advantages, because the sound quality of bone conduction headphones is particularly good, and it is made of titanium metal, which is very convenient to use.

These headphones can be conducted through the bones and air, and the sound can be heard more three-dimensionally. This kind of headphones do not put too much pressure on the ears, the headphones are relatively lightweight, very easy to carry, and do not hurt the ears. Bone conduction headphones are relatively clean, can protect hearing, and are particularly safe.

In order to vibrate through the bones, signals must be transmitted to the auditory central nervous system, so that relevant information can be obtained. These headphones are very comfortable to wear, can avoid the growth of a lot of bacteria, and can be very clean and hygienic.

Bone conduction Bluetooth headset transmits sound through bones, traditional headphones will be uncomfortable for ears after wearing for a long time, and will also affect hearing, bone conduction headphones do not have these problems.

Sports headphones are of course the best bone conduction headphones, does this still need to be asked?

Personally recommend, South Carolina Runner Pro bone conduction headphones.

The main thing is to wear it with a strong eye, and it is better to choose more bone conduction headphones. Bone conduction headphones are designed for sports, and they are superior to ordinary headphones in many places in terms of sports. Protect hearing, keep it out of your ears, wear it comfortably and stably, etc.

Domestic real bone conduction headphone brands: Nanka, Shaoyin.

These two are bone conduction headphones in the true sense, and you can be completely assured in terms of purchase.

Nanka mainly takes the cost-effective route, while Shokin takes the high-end brand route, and the gap between the two is large.

This time, the new runner Pro launched by South Carolina is equipped with any bone conduction that crushes the chain of Shokin and the draft, and it is lower. It's well worth it.
