[LUG]Re: Latest Bluetooth Adaptor

 

Dear Henry,

I'm curious to know whether you have the "open-ear" or "bone conduction" style of headset. I bought a wireless bone conduction headset (Lenovo X5) for myself and was quite impressed, although it was unfortunately far too quiet for use outdoors (that is, in proximity to cars...) and the headband later broke anyway. Mine cost an order of magnitude less than the Shokz ones, though, so perhaps I "got what I paid for".

What I would like, essentially, is an additional voice in my head to give me walking directions (from a navigation application on my phone, for instance) without compromising my balance or awareness of my surroundings like conventional headphones would.

Best wishes,

Sebastian
