Bone conduction headphones are a bit of a novelty. Unlike traditional earbud or earplug models, they fit in a way that doesn't block your ear canal, but transmits sound through subtle vibrations through your cheekbones. The OPN SOUND Dashlyte combines this technology with a sporty design, water resistance, and integrated LED lights, making for an interesting package. Let's take a closer look at the headphones.
Package contents
The headphones arrive in a relatively small but comfortable box, on the front of which you will find the design of the headphones. Inside the box you will find the headphones fitted into soft foam. So nothing can happen to them during transport. At the same time, you will find a bag, a charging cable and earplugs, thanks to which nothing will disturb you while listening. So it is a kind of "earplugs" ANC".
Unique bone conduction principle
Thanks to the open design, the headphones do not sit inside your ear, and therefore allow you to perceive external sounds. This is especially great when running or cycling, when a greater overview of your surroundings will provide you with a higher level of safety. On the other hand, it is necessary to take into account that this unconventional form of sound transmission may not suit everyone. Some users may lack the dense bass that they are used to from classic in-ear headphones, and in very noisy environments, listening may seem less distinct, but on the other hand, the included earplugs will heal this. It should also be added that once the headphones move away from your cheekbones, the sound quality and volume will drop rapidly.
Comfort and ergonomics
One of the main advantages of Dashlyte is its low weight (only 26 g) and ergonomic shape that hugs the back of the head. Thanks to this, the headphones do not wobble too much, there is no risk of them falling out and they do not press on the head when worn for a long time. After a while, you will practically not feel them on your head. In addition, your ears can "rest" because nothing is directly in the ear canal. For some users, such a feeling may be new, but I myself quickly got used to this technology. Especially during sports, which is what the headphones are designed for.
Built-in LED lights and waterproof
In terms of safety, you will certainly be impressed by the integrated LED lights, which you will appreciate especially when running at night or walking in less lit places. The headphones not only serve as musical accompaniment, but also increase your visibility for drivers and cyclists. The IPX5 protection level guarantees that the headphones will not be damaged by rain or heavy sweating, which is always useful.

Long lasting and modernoneactivity
Inside the headphones is a battery with a battery life of up to 6 hours. That's enough time for most sports activities, longer trips or even a regular workday when you want to play music or a podcast here and there. A full charge takes 2 hours. Modern Bluetooth 5.3 ensures quick pairing and stable audio transmission up to a distance of 10 meters, so you don't have to constantly deal with the connection to your phone while listening.onem or Apple Watch.
Quality calls and balanced sound
The built-in noise-canceling microphone ensures clear calls, whether you're outside or in theance.g. at the supermarket or shopping. The other party had no problem with the legibility of my voice during a call, even on a busy street. The sound reproduction itself is surprisingly clear, with an emphasis on mid and high tones, considering the bone conduction technology. However, if you are used to really deep bass, which traditional headphones have, they are simply better. In any case, I repeat again that these are headphones designed for sports. Their main advantages are low weight, inconspicuousness, decent battery life and, of course, the extraordinary bone conduction technology. The highest quality sound is therefore in the background. However, the sound is more than sufficient to make sports moments more enjoyable.
Final assessment
OPN SOUND Dashlyte is built on a reliable and comfortable approach to listening to music or podcasts during sports. They have decent endurance, clear controls, and for runners or cyclists, they are a partner that allows them to hear warning sounds from the environment during sports (if you don't use the included earplugs) and enjoy music at the same time. Integrated LED lights increase safety at night, IPX5 resistance ensures the survival of the headphones in rain and sweat, and Bluetooth 5.3 ensures a stable wireless connection. If you want to try an unusual listening style, Dashlyte will offer you an interesting solution. You just need to keep in mind that bone conduction is more suitable for medium-noise environments. The price of the headphones is 2290 CZK. However, there is a 30% discount on the website now.
