14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like the bone-conducting headphones have finally caught; more and more manufacturers are becoming seriously interested in this new trend and this is a really neat thing because of multiple factors.
The most important thing is that the user of bone-conducting headphones will no longer suffer from hearing damage as this is usually the result of long-time exposure to high sound levels in head gear. If you like music loud, the bone-conducting headphones are the safest way to go; besides the health-issue such headphones are also fashionable and tech-stylish as well.
Teac is the next in line to offer bone-conducting headphones and has made this step in great style: the Filltune HP-F100 headgear. Sporting a frequency range from 25hz up to 25kHz, the Filltune will allow you to blast music loud while still being able to hear things around you if need be.
Especially made for Hi-Fi sound yet with portability and design in mind, the new Teac bone conducting headphones are lightweight (120 gr only) and even more - they are foldable! The headphones are said to operate for about 10 hours of continuous play and are reportedly very comfortable to wear.
They are able to pump as much as 0.76W on each channel and will go as high as 103dB for a 9 Ohms impedance. Listening to them needs no power source and they are fully compatible with any sound source which has a stereo mini-jack out.
So, everything looks more than OK with Teac's Filltune HP-F100 headphones. Now comes the hard part, the pricing: if you care for a very good, blasting sound which won't damage your hearing neither on the hour nor in time, you'll have to take some hefty $499 off your current week budget.
