#DailyBloggingChallenge (107/200)
While out and about there are two kinds of Bluetooth earphones that I use: rechargeable single ear inner headphones (R) and bone conducting connected headphones (B).
The benefit of B is that one has surround sound of the environment and can listen to the audio at a much lower volume. The downside is that if the environment is already loud, then the max volume still won’t help with comprehension. Additionally, because of its connective nature, in colder months, when wearing a hat, it becomes very uncomfortable quite quickly.
On the other side R doesn’t struggle with the hat problem. The loud environment is better manageable with inner ear headphones and the audio quality is better for the spoken word like by podcasts or audio books. Even if one uses the “wear one headphone at time” technique, one still loses some environmental sound and with this technique in total the battery last longer than by B, since the battery is larger. Though one will have the regular hassle of exchanging the headphone and listening ear.
