It is but like everyone said bass is lacking and you really can't achieve that through bone conducting technology. It's just something you'll have to get use to. However they solve some problems you can't solve with other headphones. Cycling and motorcycling for example, you can't have headphones in your ears, but these solve that. They also have waterproof for swimmers, etc.

It's also kind of a weird feeling. You get use to it, but it sounds like SciFi like you said because sound doesn't come from your ears, instead you hear it in your head. I use to wear these on the meetings and listen to classical music while someone drones on about profit margins and stuff.

Not true about motorcycling. Motorcycle helmets pretty much all have a spot to put a speaker system into, and it works great.

Am talking about conventional earbuds. You can't use that in helmet.

I use earplugs in my helmet every day, I used Shure se215 for a long time as they were the slimmest product I could find, now I'm using Plugfones, which are essentially a silicon earplug with a transducer, they block out all noise with fairly good sound quality.

And your law allows it? Ours specifically states only one ear can have an earbud.
