When you listen to your favorite tunes with your headphones or earbuds, the trade-off is usually completely shutting out the world around you, aka your noisy colleagues or the next-door neighbor mowing the lawn. Noise cancellation is an advantage for the most part, but sometimes it’s better to be at least a tiny bit conscious of your surroundings, like when you’re running outside or commuting.

So, how do you enjoy your favorite tunes and podcasts, all while remaining aware of the outside world? Open ear induction headphones, of course! As you can tell by the name, these listening devices use bone conduction technology to turn “Good Vibrations” into actual vibrations that are sent to your inner ear via your bones. You can grab a pair on sale for 57% off.

Open ear induction headphones may seem like a gimmick, but some users find them more comfortable, especially since nothing has to go into your ear canal to use them. Plus, you may be less susceptible to incurring hearing damage, since sound isn’t coursed directly to your eardrums. This particular pair on sale are lightweight and designed to rest firmly but comfortably over your ears. They have a built-in mic on the cord and connect to your device via Bluetooth, allowing you to make and take hands-free calls easily.

These headphones can also last up to six hours of continuous playback, but you can charge them via a USB once you run out of juice. They’re also IPX6 water-resistant, meaning they can endure sweat and the occasional drizzle. 

Listen to your favorite content without hurting your eardrums with these Open Ear Induction Stereo Wireless Headphones. They usually go for $ 79, but you can get them on sale for $ 33.99 for a limited time.
