Most Bluetooth headsets rely on a tiny microphone that must pick you your voice while filtering out background noise.  In most cases, this doesn’t work very well, especially in noisy or windy conditions.

Enter BonSayON.  The company’s S102 sunglasses use a NeoV Nasal bone conduction microphone that actually allows you to speak through your nose.

Bone conduction technology senses sound through vibrations in your bones, not through the air like normal mics.  This technology is ideal for Bluetooth headsets, since your voice can be easily detected through bone vibrations without interference from background noise.

BonSayON puts bone conduction sensors in the nose pads of the S102, while earphones are placed at the end of each earpiece (below).  This design allows the S102 to keep a relatively slim form factor, while completely eliminating the boom mic present on many Bluetooth headsets today.

While it’s a bit impractical to have to put on your sunglasses every time you want to speak on the phone, BonSayON did do a great job designing the S102s.  It seems like you can actually wear the S102s without looking like, say, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Unfortunately, BonSayON doesn’t appear to have much of a presence in the US, and their website is still under construction.  But we look forward to trying these out if and when they reach the States.
