CES 2013: Panasonic Bone Conduction headphones

The Panasonic RP-BTGS10 Bone Conduction Headphone, to give them their full mouthy moniker, are unique, wireless headphones that provides sound transmission via bone conduction - "freeing up a user'€™s ears for other important sounds and are wireless to ensure they don'€™t interfere with active users'€™ activities."

Sitting outside the ear, with the bud in front, rather than inside, the ear canal - the idea is that you'll still be able to hear what's going on around you while listening to your tunes.

"Panasonic has always been a leader in sound-quality and innovation and with the new RP-BTGS10 Bone Conduction Headphones, we are taking our headphone offerings to the next level of technological and sound advancement," said Tom Hanston of Panasonic.

"The RP-BTGS10 model will be an ideal companion for sport enthusiasts including cyclists, joggers, runners and more, allowing them the freedom and flexibility of a wireless headphone while also giving them the opportunity to listen to their favourite music while not blocking out other outside sounds."

Price to be confirmed.
