Bone conduction is the conduction of sound to the inner ear through the bones of the skull. Bone conduction is the reason why a person's voice sounds different to him/her when it is recorded and played back. It tends to amplify the lower frequencies, and so most people hear their own voice as being of a lower pitch than it actually is. Using this concept in earphones or hearing aids is nothing new.

We have come across many gadgets in the past that have used Bone Conduction. The latest one to incorporate this feature is Pantech's KDDI A1407PT cellphone. Other than the fact that the phone features bone conduction loudspeakers that channels sound through your bones from your ear (or just behind your ear), thus helping you hear in noisy environments, the phone has little else to write home about. It sports a 2.4-inch screen and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
