Kyocera Gets Rid of Speakers and Introduces New Bone Conduction Audio Technology

Kyocera Gets Rid of Speakers and Introduces New Bone Conduction Audio Technology

Originally designed for smartphone users who are hard of hearing, Kyocera showed off their new “bone conduction” technology at CTIA and it could make a traditional speaker earpiece obsolete. This new tech was shown off in a Kyocera demo unit and essentially uses a vibrating display to rattle the skin and bones of its user, creating perceived audible sound waves. This new tech is especially useful when a user is in a noisy environment, like a concert or event, where a regular earpiece just wouldn't cut it.
