Ok yeah that is actually pretty loud. This is the power spectrum with the tip held about an inch away from the microphone. Going "aah" at the same microphone from the same distance at a normal or slightly elevated speaking level is giving me peaks around -40 and this thing is doing -20.
So this happened at TSA today, which means it's time to get new headphones. Are bone conduction headphones still the best option for headphones that you can wear all the time but you can hear it when people talk to you?
My ideal headset would be very discreet, such that people can barely tell you are wearing them (or if they are visible I would prefer if people felt comfortable talking to me while wearing them).
