Are bone-conductive headphones any good? Being able to listen to stuff while having full hearing sounds pretty appealing

go to a store and try them out

You know open back headphones exist right? You know the earbud style can be worn with those tiny foam covers to let air in right?

Youre not forced to wear some ultratight, noise cancelling IEMs at all times..

I bought top of the range bone conduction headphones about a decade ago and they didn't work as advertised at all. More like little speakers pointed at your ears, other people can hear them and if you hold them away from your head it doesn't change the sound quality at all. Doesn't seem like the tech has moved on since then. Unironically just get some buds with reverse ANC.

+Can hear everything else while listening to podcasts/music
+Lightweight
+Can use to talk to people over the phone hands free
+Long battery life
+Does not require stuffing objects into your ear canal to listen as it relies positioning over the zygomatic bone

-Audio quality isn't as good unlike using headphones or earbuds
-Bass is almost non-existent, is more noticeable when wearing ear plugs

I wouldn't wanna bring my expensive open back headphones to listen to podcasts on a commute.

Are they good to listen to Discord while I use my speakers with something else?
