Batband headphones provide ears-free listening

istening to music via headphones can isolate the listener from the rest of the world. The new Batband bone conduction headphones, however, allow users to to still hear what is going on around them. Audio is transmitted through the bones of the skull, while the ears remain uncovered.

The Batband was designed by Studio Banana Things, which was previously responsible for the Ostrich Pillow and the various riffs off that original concept, such as the Ostrich Pillow Mini. Whereas the Ostrich Pillow is very much about providing seclusion from the outside world, the Batband is aimed at stripping any such separation away.
