audio-technica Wireless cartilage conduction headphones

Enjoy great sound all day long without blocking your ears. Cartilage conduction model that updates your listening experience while doing other things.
The ATH-CC500BT2 is the second-generation model of the ATH-CC500BT, the world's first* cartilage conduction headphones that do not block the ears, which have been well-received since their launch in 2022 and remain a long-selling model to this day. To make listening while doing other things more comfortable in your daily life, we have made several updates, including improving the fit, sound quality, and maximum volume.
[Second-generation headphone model that utilizes the third hearing pathway, cartilage conduction]
The vibration structure utilizes the cartilage conduction pathway of the ear. Since you can hear the sound without blocking the ear canal, you can listen to music or audiobooks while doing other things. Unlike regular earphones, they are not inserted into the ear canal, so your ears will not hurt even if you use them for a long time. In addition, your ear canal will not get steamy, so you can use them with peace of mind from a hygienic standpoint.
[Equipped with a next-generation vibration driver that improves sound quality and maximum volume]
Equipped with a next-generation vibration driver that improves sound quality and maximum volume from the previous model. Simply place the headphones against the cartilage called the tragus to enjoy high-quality listening and clear calls. The driver uses the manufacturer's proprietary "APSS" to prevent deterioration of sound quality due to external vibrations and suppress unpleasant vibrations during bass playback, allowing you to experience a wide sound field.
