Panasonic’s latest HCS10-W Open Ear Bone Conduction Headphones keeps the scale level by creating a balance between immersive sound and the ability to still hear what’s going on around you.
Panasonic HGS10-W build
Because the Panasonic HGS10-W headphones are built for serious workout professionals, the company has designed them to be highly water resistant. This protects the mechanics of the headphones from rain and sweat. Because they’re wired, there’s no batteries to charge or Bluetooth to pair — just plug the mini-jack into the audio source and hit the play.
Fit and Comfort
The earbuds go into the ear, and the jawbone-shaped band fits around the back of the head and against the back of the ears as part of the overall positioning. Built-in cushioning provides comfort to the ears and head. This design also includes 3 reflective stripes on the sides and the back for safety.
Function
Rather than pump audio into the ear canal, the Panasonic HGS10-W headphones are worn next to your ear so that sound is carried into your head through the cheek bones. As a result, outside sounds aren’t cut off. Those who run will appreciate this feature. Sound wise, these things blast some spectacular sounds, including deep base and crisp
mids and trebles.
Price
Panasonic’s HGS10-W Open Ear Bone Conduction Headphone’s main benefit here is the fact that they provide a safer path for listening to music by not cutting off ambient sounds. They run $79.99.
