If you are looking for a Bluetooth headset for an environment where you must hear your surroundings (like driving), or you want a headset for video or conference calls that is extremely light-weight, the AfterShokz OpenComm Bluetooth Bone Conduction headset should be at the top of your list!
The AfterShokz OpenComm bone conduction Bluetooth headset is a bit of a technical wonder. It uses bone conduction to transmit sounds not into your ear but through your cheekbone. If you need to be able to hear sounds around you (parents listening out for kids or while you are driving), this may be the headset for you. If you are on many, many conference calls (video or audio), you will not get “headset fatigue” wearing the OpenComm headset due to its minimal weight and open-ear design. You barely notice you are wearing them after just a short while. Setup is easy, you can just pair it using Bluetooth to your computer or smartphone (or even use NFC for easier connection). Overall, this is quite a good headset for working from home or being on the road.
