I was looking at “spy earbuds” but they just don’t seem too practical, even the real expensive ones I found are still disposable batteries only and I just don’t wanna drop that kind of money. I do however wear glasses and looking online I see they average about $30 for a pair of bluetooth enabled ones. My only question is, has anyone tried these? How are they, can you get them in prescription and how discreet is the audio playback?

    Drives some people nuts how? I’m wondering if it tickles? Song-playing lollipops were a brief fad when I was a kid, which worked through bone conduction too but through your mouth. I could barely keep it in my mouth from how much the vibration tickled.

      Imagine that feeling on your temple. Some people get mild headaches. I can tolerate it but it kind of feels sore after 30 minutes or so. Personal preference, I guess.

      I love mine. Tried giving my dad a pair, but he wasn’t a fan of the vibration on his temple. I think his hearing isn’t quite what it once was, so he probably has the volume a few notches higher whereas I tend to have it so low it’s really more like a small speaker tuned to run next to the ear. Longer stretches at higher volume may be another story for me.
