I recently went into a technology shop that basically specialise in selling only the hottest and latest gadgets.  A lot of them of course are never really going to succeed, but I asked them what their hottest selling product was and they told me it was the Trekz Titanium, so I bought one and I actually found it pretty worthwhile.  When I was at school, one of the guys I was at school with wanted to become an Air Force pilot and got turned down because they said his hearing was not good enough because he had been wearing headphones his whole life and listening to music in closed headphones.  

It is apparently quite bad for you to listen to music in that way and Trekz delivers the music to you in a completely different way to anything you have tried before.  It conducts music or even your phone calls through your bones – delivering the music to the ears via your jaw and you hear the vibrations that way.  In other words, you don’t have anything over your ears.  The particular benefit of this, for those of you who might be wondering why else you would want to use it, apart from damaging your ears too much with conventional headphones, is that while you are walking outside, or in my case riding my bicycle, you can also hear everything else.  The sound is not as good as the traditional earphones that you would wear over your head, but there is certainly a lot of comfort in being able to hear the noise, cars, or other people or riding, walking or running on the road and not being oblivious to all sounds – some of which you sometimes need to hear for your own safety.
