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.
