About this deal

The O Bones boast eight hours of battery life through 180MaH battery that will only require one to two hours of charging using the dedicated charging accessory, and are equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 featuring Siri and Google Assistant voice control functionality. Adding high-quality codecs like an aptX wouldn’t make any sense and would only bring the cost up. Is There an Audio Lag? Orange Amps says the O Bones are also water resistant, carrying an IPX4 rating, which means they’re resistant to splashes of water from all directions. I’d say the headphones should hold up well against sweat and some rain. There’s not been a lot of rain to test them out in, but in the sweaty confines of a gym during tough running and rowing workouts, the O Bones have survived without issues. Features

Orange Amplification is delighted to add the O Bones® wireless headphones to its range. Using state-of-the-art While most bone-conducting headphones promise up to eight hours of battery life (even Orange advertises only 7 hours per charge), the O Bones reach much further. The earphones also include a 16mm speaker that Orange claims is “over spec’ed” to be capable of 75mW as the amplifier maker claims their studies of other bone conduction earphones led them to take an approach that emphasises audio fidelity.

Orange O Bones have a stable Bluetooth connection with an above-average range (but some occasional stutters; more on that later). There’s also no audio lag when watching videos. One solution is to use the included earplugs. However, those isolate you from the outside world, and the entire point of this type of headphones is to make you aware of potential dangers. Furthermore, O Bones charge via USB-C, unlike their competition Shokz, which insists on proprietary charging ports.

Orange O Bones are lightweight and distribute their weight nicely. As a result, you barely feel them (apart from feeling those vibrating drivers). The person on the other side of the line should still understand what you’re saying. However, try avoiding making long phone or video calls with the O Bones.

Like all bone conduction headphones, you’re going to have to accept some compromises in sound quality. That’s ultimately the nature of the open–ear headphones and bone conduction technology. The good news is that in general, things are getting better with bone conduction but in the case of the O Bones, it’s not raising the bar in terms of performance.

USB-C port is covered with a flimsy rubber cover that could pinch off at any moment. What Bluetooth Codecs Do They Use?What bone conduction headphones generally prioritise is providing clarity and detail with a bump in bass a bit of a bonus. Unfortunately, the O Bones don’t really excel on any of those fronts. Unless you’re a mobile gamer, you can enjoy a lag-free watching experience. That means on both Android and iOS, as well as Windows computers. Orange O Bones output decent bass, a harsh midrange, and a quiet treble. On the other hand, the sound feels very spacious.
