Does it make sense to buy bone conduction headphones?

Question

Electronics

I constantly listen to music in headphones - both full-size on-ears and vacuum earbuds (I guess, like most)), but recently, I began to worry about hearing + my ears get tired (especially from earbuds). I look towards the headphones with bone conduction. The auricles remain open there, but it is the music that helps me concentrate, and not the presence of headphones / earplugs. The question arose: when using headphones - does hearing acuity depend only on the constant use of the auricle or also the inner ear? That is, I want to say that in headphones with piezo elements, the inner ear will still be subject to vibration (in fact, where does the sound come from), is there any point in switching to such headphones in order to reduce the load on the auditory organs?

I saw an AfterShokz ad, it became interesting, but the toad crushed me to buy. I took it from Ali at a price of about 2 thousand rubles. The thing is cool - you can hear the environment. This is a plus. Ears get tired less - this is also a plus. Now the cons. If you listen at high volume, then others will also hear everything. If you walk along the road, the noise of passing cars is such that it completely interrupts the sound from the headphones. It may not be critical for music, but I rarely listen to music. Mostly audiobooks. And when you don’t hear half of every sentence, it’s annoying. The sound quality is not great either. True, there are earplugs in the kit. With them, the sound quality becomes noticeably better. Even basses appear. But with earplugs, the meaning of such headphones is lost.
It is possible that the quality situation is better in branded ones, but I doubt something.
