Most headphones and earbuds transmit sound through air conduction; the sound waves travel down the ear canal and into the eardrum, which vibrates. Your brain then converts these vibrations into sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Bone conduction bypasses both the ear canal and eardrum. It relays sounds directly to the inner ear (cochlea) through vibrations applied to the cheekbones. It\u2019s similar to how Beethoven could still hear his piano as he lost his hearing. The composer held one end of a pencil or wooden baton in his teeth and the other on the piano while he played. The baton would vibrate from the piano\u2019s sounds, allowing his brain to interpret the sounds he was playing.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lightweight_Comfortable_Design\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Lightweight, Comfortable Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-130949 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/09\/af293700.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing the Haylou PurFree BC01 headphones\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Material<\/strong>: Titanium alloy<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 1oz (28g)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: \u200e1.77 x 4.92 x 0.39in (45 x 125 x 10mm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Haylou PurFree BC01 Headphones contain 2 bone conduction transducers which are connected via a lightweight, flexible band. They feature a swan neck design that slips over your ears and wraps around the back of your head with a slightly-grippy silicone band covering that feels soft against your skin. These headphones weigh a mere 1oz (28g), so you hardly feel them on your ears.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a one-size-fits-all headphone solution, which is unfortunate. The band is roomy and will accommodate even the widest heads, but it\u2019s not adjustable. I have a smaller head, and the band felt huge on me. Instead of hugging my neck, it extended several inches from the back of my head, getting caught on the hood of my sweatshirt and pushing against the back of my neck when I tilted my head to look upwards.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the thing with bone conduction\u2014it only works when there\u2019s physical contact with your cheekbones. Every time I bumped the band, it shifted its position, and I could no longer hear my music. This also made it difficult to wear the headphones while reclining in a chair or lying in bed without disrupting the middle of a song. The band fit my husband perfectly, and he didn\u2019t have any issues wearing the headphones.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balanced_but_Mediocre_Sound\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Balanced but Mediocre Sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The PurFree BC01 open ear design delivers a balanced sound suitable for all music types. That\u2019s not because it\u2019s outstanding, but because the sound quality falls right down the middle. There\u2019s bass, but it isn\u2019t overly heavy. Treble is also present, but it isn\u2019t shockingly high. Listening to music is enjoyable, but you won\u2019t be blown away by the experience.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell the difference between bone conduction headphones and typical earbuds or over-the-ear headphones. The sound quality isn\u2019t nearly as dynamic or rich. If you prefer to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, the Haylou PurFree BC01 is an exceptional choice.\u00a0But for audiophiles, these are not the headphones for you.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mostly_Good_Vibrations\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Mostly Good Vibrations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-130935 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/09\/5f67b43d.jpg\" alt=\"Haylou PurFree BC01 Hanging on a post\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For bone conduction to work, the sides of the headphones must sit securely against your cheekbones right next to your ear. You don\u2019t feel the vibration of the headphone\u2019s bone conduction at lower volumes, but that changes when you crank it up. The part that sits on your cheekbone vibrates significantly at maximum volume, which isn\u2019t painful, but it is noticeable and mildly annoying.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outstanding_for_Athletics\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Outstanding for Athletics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Waterproof<\/strong>: Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP rating<\/strong>: IP67<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The PurFree BC01 headphones can be worn at home or the office, but they were designed with activity in mind. The band was surprisingly secure and didn\u2019t move while I was running or lifting weights. It only shifted when something, like the hood of my sweatshirt, bumped it.<\/p>\n<p>The Haylou headphones were comfortable, too. They didn\u2019t pinch my ears or put pressure on my cheekbones. I wore them for hours without any issues. I found them to be more comfortable than <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/772140\/best-wireless-earbuds\/\">typical in-ear buds<\/a>, which have a way of irritating the inside of your ear after an hour or two of exercise. The PurFree BC01s also come with the peace of mind that they won\u2019t fall out and crash to the ground, unlike in-ear listening solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Their IP67 waterproof rating means\u00a0the BC01 Headphones can comfortably withstand sweat and light rain. You cannot wear them for swimming, though. If you need to be submerged in water, you should check out <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shokz-OpenSwim-Conduction-Waterproof-Headphones\/dp\/B09CGP8MVH\/?tag=lsmedia-11106-20\">Shokz OpenSwim Bone Conduction Headphones<\/a> instead.

I did have to disconnect one device to connect with the other.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life_Surprisingly_Strong\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_8\">Battery Life: Surprisingly Strong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-130918 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7c3b9a25.jpg\" alt=\"Haylou PurFree BC01 Charging Port\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kelly Hodgkins \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Battery life<\/strong>: 8H<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity<\/strong>: 165 mAh Li-ion polymer battery<\/li>\n<li><strong>Charging port<\/strong>: Magnetic attraction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast charge<\/strong>: 10min-2H<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Battery life was surprisingly good, delivering up to eight hours of playback time. I used the headphones intermittently throughout the day and only had to charge them twice a week. Unfortunately, the Haylou PurFree BC01 Bone Conduction Headphones use a proprietary magnetic charger.<\/p>\n<p>The magnetic port makes charging easy, but the proprietary connector is not convenient. You have to carry an extra charging cable when you travel, which makes yet another thing to keep track of. If you lose it, you have to purchase and then wait for a replacement before you can charge your headphones again.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, Haylou does support <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/670644\/what-is-fast-charging-and-how-does-it-work\/\">fast charging<\/a>, allowing you to fully recharge in only one and a half hours. If you need a short burst of power, you can plug them in for 10 minutes to get 2 hours of playtime.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Buy_Haylou_PurFree_BC01_Bone_Conduction_Headphones\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_9\">Should You Buy Haylou PurFree BC01 Bone Conduction Headphones?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like all bone conduction headphones, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HAYLOU-Conduction-Headphones-Bluetooth-Waterproof\/dp\/B0B1M3DGMQ\/?tag=lsmedia-11106-20\">Haylou PurFree BC01 Headphones<\/a> let you listen to music and hear your surroundings simultaneously. This open-ear design is a game changer for someone who likes the outdoors. I wore the headphones while trail-running and was no longer startled by mountain bikers trying to pass or other runners coming up from behind me. I could groove to my music and still hear everything around me.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more to bone conduction than sports and situational awareness, though. It\u2019s also discrete. Unless the headphones were near maximum volume, people didn\u2019t even know I was listening to tunes while talking to them. It also has a medical benefit; because bone conduction headphones don\u2019t transmit sound via eardrums, they also work well for those with ear damage or hearing impairments.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is going to like the PurFree BC01s. Unfortunately for some, they are only available in the black color scheme as seen in this review. If you want a splash of color, you should consider the Shokz OpenRun Pro, available in blue, pink, white, and black. If you\u2019re not sold on bone conduction and just want straightforward, quality earbuds, take a look at the\u00a0Sony WF-1000XM4 set. They offer an ambient mode, impeccable sound quality, and outstanding noise cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, for a solid exercise partner at a price that won\u2019t break the bank, you can own Haylou PurFree BC01 Bone Conduction Headphones for $120.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Good for audiobooks, podcasts<\/li>\n<li>Allows situational awareness<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable, waterproof design<\/li>\n<li>Effective noise cancellation<\/li>\n<li>Good battery life with fast charging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Not for audiophiles<\/li>\n<li>Proprietary charging cable<\/li>\n<li>One size doesn&#8217;t fit all<\/li>\n<li>Can&#8217;t use while lying down<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
