Yes. Technically I got smart glasses that used bone conduction for the sound but it's the same thing. They work but they're not perfect silent to people around you so it depends how quiet your work environment is. They kinda hurt if you listen to music for hours on end but no real problems otherwise.

They don't sound as good as other types but they are great if you need to maintain awareness around you because you can still hear perfectly fine with your own ears as opposed to awareness modes and such which can distort and/or delay sounds.

Like your whole head hurts or just your ears?

I wear them when swimming and the bass sounds exponentially better underwater. It actually keeps me in the pool. I recommend putting playlists on them because you can't pick and choose the songs. It's a lot like an old school mp3 player

They also are nice when riding a bike outdoors because you can still hear

Yeah, they're kinda neat. For work I'd rather just use a pair of really good in ear phones though. I don't care about hearing other stuff around me

yeah, i have a pair of aftershokz that i wear for bike rides so i can hear traffic. music takes a bit of getting used to, but anything spoken like podcasts, audiobooks, or radio is decent.

they're also really durable, mine have been dropped, left outside in the rain, and covered in mud and they still work. battery is ok, it was really good when I got them (like 5 bike rides per charge) but now it's kinda meh but that's to be expected.

one thing to note is that ppl nearby can hear whats playing on them if you're in a quiet environment. they're not super loud but someone in the same room would hear whatever you're listening to, in case its like for an office environment or something where you wouldn't wanna be distracting to coworkers
