Bone conduction headphones are becoming a favourite with runners, cyclists, and gym-goers. They let you enjoy your music while staying connected to the world around you - something traditional headphones can’t always offer. So, what makes them so popular with the sporting community? Here are five key benefits, featuring the Mixx Resonate and Resonate Pro.

Healthier Listening for the Long Run
Regular headphones send sound straight into your eardrums, which over time can put pressure on your hearing. Bone conduction works differently, delivering sound through your cheekbones and straight to the inner ear. By reducing the strain on your eardrums, you can enjoy your playlists day after day without worrying about long-term hearing damage. For anyone training regularly, protecting your hearing matters just as much as protecting your muscles.

Safer Training With Open-Ear Awareness
With the Mixx Resonate and Resonate Pro, your ears stay open to the world around you. You can hear traffic while cycling, pay attention to announcements at the gym, or chat with a running partner - all while your music plays clearly. By keeping your ears open, they strike a balance between your playlists and surroundings so you can train confidently, wherever your workout takes you.

Comfortable and Lightweight Fit
Bone conduction headphones rest gently on your cheekbones, connected securely with a flexible band around the back of your head. They don’t block your ears or press inside them; instead, they hook comfortably over your ears so they stay stable while you move. Both Resonate models are lightweight enough for long runs or high-energy sessions, while the Resonate Pro goes a step further with waterproofing so you can enjoy your favourite tracks while swimming.

Fresher, Cleaner Workouts
Both the
Resonate and Resonate Pro sit in front of your ears, so they allow air to circulate, keeping the area around your ears comfortable and reducing sweat buildup. With easy-to-clean charging ports, they’re also quick to wipe down so you can stay hygienic and ready for your next workout.

Easy Integrated Button Controls
When you’re in the middle of a run or lifting weights, stopping to grab your phone can break your focus. That’s why both Resonate models have simple, physical buttons for volume, playback, and calls. They’re reliable, easy to use, and keep you in the zone, no matter how hard you’re training.
