I’ve grown very fond of my hearing in the last few years and that’s a sad thing to say at my age. I often find myself saying, “huh”, more than I like to. After having my Able Planets my ears can’t handle normal headphones anymore. So, the Teac Filltune Bone Conduction headphones are pretty bangin’ and I’d like to give these a whirl. These high-end ‘phones use super magneto-striction, which are far superior and have the ability to “assure miniaturization and economical electrical conversion in speed of response and vibrating occurrence efficiency” compared to other bone conduction headphones.
