Audio-Technica has introduced the new ATH-CC500BT2 cartilage conduction headphones, offering an alternative to bone conduction technology. These headphones use the cartilage of the ear to transmit sound, providing a unique way to listen to music while keeping ears open. With a sleek design, these headphones weigh just 32 grams and come with features like 20 hours of battery life, quick charging, IPX4 water resistance, and compatibility with virtual assistants. Unfortunately, they are not available in the US yet but can be purchased from Audio-Technica’s website for £119 / €139.
