Open-ear bone conduction headphones that send stereo sound through the cheekbone, so your ear canal stays clear. The 22g body, memory titanium steel frame and IPX7 rating hold up through sweat, rain and hard intervals. Hear the music and the road at the same time.
Bone conduction headphones that deliver stereo sound without plugging into your ears, so you can hear music and your surroundings while staying comfortable during workouts.
- ear canal discomfort from in-ear buds
- earbuds falling out during exercise
- heavy headphones during long wear
- ear fatigue or hygiene concerns with in-ear devices
Hear the music. Keep your ears free.
Earbuds that slip and sting turn workouts into fiddling. K08 bone conduction headphones sit on your cheekbones so you hear stereo sound and your surroundings, with nothing in your ear canal.
Stereo sound that never enters your ear

Sound that stays outside your ears
Bone conduction carries stereo sound through the cheekbone to the inner ear. Your ear canal stays open, so you hear the track and the traffic at the same time. If you are weighing this against a standard pair, our wireless earbuds range shows the in-ear alternative.

Light enough to forget
The body weighs 22g. A memory titanium steel frame holds the shape without pressing into the head, so the band feels the same at the end of a long session as it did at the start.

Built to take sweat, rain, and hard sessions
The IPX7 rating covers sweat and rain. Rubber-oil ear hooks grip the head through movement, so the fit holds during intervals. Rinse them after a salty session and they are ready for the next one. For pool days, see our waterproof swim headphones.

Stop readjusting. Start listening.

The earbud that keeps falling out
You are three intervals in and the left bud has slipped again. You stop, push it back in, and feel the ache that follows every session. The music is fine. The fit is the problem, and it has been the problem for months.

Open ears, same music
The K08 sends stereo sound through the cheekbone instead of the ear canal. Your music stays clear, and the road, the trainer and the cars behind you stay audible too. You keep the awareness you lost with over-ear cups and the comfort you lost with buds.

Ready for the next session
At 22g with a memory titanium steel frame and rubber-oil ear hooks, the band holds its shape through hard sets. After the session your ears feel clean and unbothered, and the headphones are ready for the next run.

Questions and answers
The speakers rest on the cheekbones and send sound through bone, so nothing goes into the ear canal. Open-ear audio does carry some sound into the room, so keep the volume moderate in quiet spaces. Most people feel a light contact on the cheek, not a buzz.
In-ear buds reach higher volume and deeper bass. Bone conduction sounds clear in the mids and highs, and bass feels lighter. Most people who train with open ears keep the volume moderate so they can hear the room. If you want deep bass, a sealed model from our over ear headsets range suits that better.
The memory titanium steel frame bends to your head, and the rubber-oil ear hooks grip through movement. Expect a few minutes of adjusting the first time so the band sits snug above the ears. After that, the fit holds through running and intervals.
Yes. The IPX7 rating covers sweat and rain. Rinse them with clean water after a salty session and let them dry before the next use.
You pay for the frame and the fit. A memory titanium steel band, rubber-oil hooks and a built-in microphone cost more to build than a bud and a cheap wire. A pair that stays on through a full session also saves you from the mid-set stops and the lost buds on the track.
