Listen to music without your ear

2009-06-17 19:25:02

The tech-savvy Koreans share a new way to hear your favorite songs.


Bone conduction technology allows a person to listen to music through a headphone that does not cover the ear. These headphones send the vibrations that sound makes directly to one's eardrums through the bones, allowing the ear to be left uncovered.

According to Park Eui-Bong, president of GD Tech Co, which makes such earphones, the technology has been in use in Korea for the last two years.
