O Bones transmit sound vibrations along your cheekbones instead of through air, leaving the ear canal untouched, allowing you to listen to your surroundings in perfect conditions.

While the headphones have quite a range in volume and frequencies, limitations in technology prevent the O Bones from competing in sound quality with top-end headphones. As such, they are better suited for casual wear.

Nevertheless, the headphones boast a powerful miniature amplifier with a 16mm speaker able to reach heights of 75mW.

Weighing only 32g and equipped with rubber head cushions, the O Bones are perfect for exercising. Its ergonomic shape allows for a comfortable but secure fit that throws any anxiety of them falling off out the window.

Despite its small size, the battery in these headphones is particularly strong, lasting over eight hours, whilst also supporting both Apple and Android devices. Phone calls are also able to be made on the O Bones, with the microphone sitting behind the ear to diminish wind interference with your voice.

Orange’s new endeavour has been radically successful, with the O Bones now ranking as their #1 Best Seller in Accessories and Spares.

They are available for purchase now at Orange Amps.
