Headset Uses Bone-Conduction Technology

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-jaw-about dept.

Wired reports that a new headset is on the way to solve all those background noise problems you have had with your cell phone in crowded areas. This new bluetooth headset uses "bone-conduction" technology that converts vibrations from you jaw into sound. The article claims it should be available as early as later this year for around $200.

      What if you punch the asshole in the jaw who keeps talking through the ballgame/movie/dinner/concert?

      What will they hear on the other end?

      It's like a koan, man. . .

    I just asked my wife if she'd be interested in talking on the bone phone....
    ...she didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.

    Exactly. The ear itself already uses bone induction "technology".

    Wake me when they develop a bone induction foot-set for my shoe phone.
