Announced at CES, these use bone conduction "adopted from the military." http://www.stereophile.com/content/aftershokz-headphones-bypass-ears $60.

What, you don't remember that 80's icon, the "Bone Fone" ?

Also known as the collar bone vibrator.

HA! I do remember seeing that magazine ad. Looks more like a Boob-Tingler, but that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Wow, that brings back memories. My brother and I used to love reading the DAK catalogs, and I think they always had the Bone Fone.

The one that always caught my eye was the disk-thing that's supposed to turn your window into a speaker. Anyone ever try one?
