Panasonic Bone Conduction Headphones
Price/Release Date: TBA (Fall 2013)
At first glance, Panasonic’s Bluetooth headset looks like your mediocre pair of sound receivers. Aside from its ability to connect with wireless-enabled TVs and music players, that’s where all parallels end. These bone-conduction headphones aren’t meant to go in your ears. Like hearing aids, the device allows you take in audio by transmitting sound waves to your skull: relieving your eardrums of excessively loud music. Seriously, we need these come Christmas.
Onkyo ES-HF 300
Price/Release Date: $180 (Q1 2013)
Most audiophiles invest in a pair of premium sound cans hoping to experience the immersed sound stage offered from a home theater speaker. Look no further, as Onkyo fills the void in high fashion—decking its newest headphones with a sexy aluminum finish, two wide-range 40mm titanium drivers, and ported bass sub-chambers to produce a deeper bottom-end. That’s some heavy artillery right there.
