These bone-conduction headphones offer 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and have a light up rear band to ensure you stay visible even in pitch black. They’re perfect for nighttime workouts, whether walking, biking, running or something else entirely. You get immersive audio, great battery life, all while you remain aware of your surroundings and stay safe and visible.

When you’re out walking or running at night, taking your dog out, or headed somewhere close by if you’re in the city, it’s always a good idea to keep some kind of flashlight, light or reflective item with you. That allows vehicles and other passerby to see you, but more than that, it keeps you safe. But throw on a pair of headphones, tune out the world around you and that safety is gone. It’s tough to hear or stay aware of your surroundings. Interestingly, the BoneSoundz Aware headphones solve both of these problems. They deliver rich, immersive sound while still keeping you aware of everything and everyone around you. Best of all, they light up, keeping you illuminated and visible in the dark. The rear band lights up in a matching neon color to keep you highly visible at all times.

As the name implies, BoneSoundz Aware utilizes bone-conduction technology, which delivers audio through your cheekbones, keeping your ears free. That leaves your senses and general awareness ready for what’s nearby. Plus, they’re comfortable and convenient, which is excellent for long listening sessions. They won’t start to bother you during a long run or walk. They won’t damage your ears, either, since they use bone-conduction. The water-resistant design means they’re safe from rain, sweat, dog slobber, and more. Best of all, they offer up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, even with the light-up band. Bluetooth 5.3 provides seamless and reliable connectivity with your phone or music devices. Moreover, they have 32GB of storage built-in if you’d rather upload your music right to the headphones — without connecting them to another gadget.

Why spring for the BoneSoundz Aware over other headphones?

Headphones are headphones, right? Well, sort of. These are traditional headphones in the sense that they deliver quality audio. However, they do it in a unique and intuitive way — via bone conduction. The audio drivers essentially rest outside of your ears, rather than inside. The audio passes through your cheekbone, and while that sounds like it might not work, the reality is the exact opposite. These headphones work great and the audio remains localized for the most part, so no one around you can hear what you’re listening to if you’re using public transportation or chilling somewhere quiet, like the library.

As for why you would want the Bonesoundz Aware over any other options, they sound great, the light-up band keeps you visible at night and they have a ton of excellent features. For example, the 32GB of storage isn’t found in most comparable headphones and you can use it to store your music, audio files and media on the device directly. That way, when you’re running or walking, you can listen without being tethered to another device.

Who is it for?

Runners, bikers, hikers, walkers, night owls, you name it. If you’re active and you love to listen to music — which I’m sure is most people — the BoneSoundz Aware are made for you.
