Finding the Best Headphones For a Sports MP3 Player

If you use your sports mp3 player when engaging in outdoor or water sports, using proper headphones that won’t be damaged by shocks or quick motion is necessary. And if you will be listening while in or on the water and have one of the new waterproof mp3 players you need to match it with waterproof headphones. Technology is constantly advancing and now there is an alternative to the traditional ear bud type phones.

There are many people who have changed from traditional ear bud type headphones to the newer headphones that use bone conduction technology. These types of headphones do not fit in your ears like ear buds, or cover your ears like traditional headphones. When you are exercising, hiking, biking or swimming there are many times when it is important to be able to hear external and ambient sounds. And this is something that can be very important as far as your safety is concerned.

When you wear ear bud type headphones, especially if you like to listen to your music at a high volume, it is very difficult and sometimes impossible for you to hear other external sounds. This can be very dangerous in situations where you might need to be alerted. A jogger who comes to an intersection and proceeds across depending on the cross lights might not hear a car coming that is running the light or emergency vehicles that will not stop. There are many cases where being able to hear sounds from the world around us can give us warning or alert us to possible danger that we don’t see with our eyes.

Another growing problem with in the ear buds is potential damage to your hearing from extended exposure to loud sounds and music. There are many people who are becoming concerned with the possible long term damage to your hearing. Bone conduction headphones do not create this problem since the sound is sent by bone conduction with vibrates the inner ear directly and allows you to hear the sound without loud sound waves impacting your ear drums.

Whether you are in, out or near the water when you are swimming or taking part in water sports bone conduction headphones can  give you very good quality sound. Many people prefer these over in the ear waterproof ear buds. The problems with inserting and sealing standard waterproof ear buds can be uncomfortable due to the need to fit them more tightly than usual in your ear canal. Some people have also reported discomfort in removing these traditional ear buds since the waterproof fit is very tight.

The bone type conduction headphones have a number of things that make them a better choice. When you are considering which type of headphones to choose for your sports mp3 player, you may want the bonus of being able to hear external and ambient noise which gives you added safety. Along with this you also get extremely good sound quality and the comfort of these non traditional type headphones.
