I got some bone conducting ear phones lately and really hate them ... both the 30€ and the 120€ versions I tried. Super cheap sound ... basically no bass respo

  tbh the sound quality is not the best. Although it is a lot better (especially bass) if you wear earplugs or you're in a quiet area. It's the comfort + durability + awareness + good price + still decent sound quality imo, which makes them worth it to me.

    Yeah ... but if I wear earplugs I prefer my 5-way [1] in-ears ... ;-) No idea why people need noise-canceling, those (and my drumming headphones) seal pretty well against the outside ... once I put music on I don't hear a thing anymore. That said ... I use the bone-conducting ones pretty regularly on the bike and while running. [1] Not really 5 way ... 1x low, 2x mid, 2x high balanced amatures.

  Do you listen at >1x speeds? I would also like these for biking but would like to know if quality would be enough for 2-3x

    Nah ... I don't. But I would guess that speeding up 2-3x doesn't make too much of a difference. Everything sounds thin on them.
