The Vonia Bone Conducting Music Headband, to give it its full name, might look a little nerdy, but the experience of listening to music through your skull bones instead of your ears has to be experienced to be believed.

The thinking behind the technology is that leaving ears free to hear what’s going on around you is a Very Good Thing. In other words, it’s a nice idea to be able to hear that speeding car before it hits you while out jogging with your tunes.

It’s not all so serious, of course – cutting out all the wires associated with regular headphones makes exercising anywhere easier.

Best of all, the player and ‘speaker’ enclosures are waterproof, so you can take this beauty swimming or go running in the rain without worrying about your gear! Just don’t take it on your next scuba dive – it’s not rated for total immersion.

The Vonia can accommodate any audio player that’s up to 3.5cm (1.37in) long and has a 3.5mm output jack - an iPod shuffle is an ideal fit, for example - but do check the length of your player before buying, please.

Just connect your player, seal it in the waterproof pouch on the headband and slip it on – the sound-producing units within the Vonia should sit just behind each ear and you’re good to go. There’s no need for any external power, so no wires at all to worry about.
