I used to own something called a bone phone (description below) - similar concept, funny memories of jogging with it on. Couldnt find any pics.

As a Subi driver it is funny that Dak industries made it.

edit: pics here - group buy on these anyone??

reproduced from another forum:
The "Bone Phone" was sold by DAK Industries. DAK was a kind of a forerunner of Sharper Image. They sold innovative and unique gadgets, mostly through mail order.

The ads were in a great many magazines in the bid 70's till the early 90's. All of the ads featured a clear photo of the item, plus ad copy that was written by Drew Kaplan (the owner of DAK, Drew Andrew Kaplan).

The Bone Phone came out about the same time as the Walkman did. It was about 3' long, and a little bigger around then a pack of cigarettes. It was flexible, with a cloth covering (I seem to remember it was blue).

You draped it over your shoulders, and the "bone" part was kind of like a speaker with the cone removed. This would vibrate, and the sound was trnasmitted through the wearer's collar bone. YOu could turn it way up, and not have to worry about disturbing people next to you, since no actual "sound" came from it. They were popular with skiiers, but because of the cost (I seem to remember they started at around $75) they never caught on with the kids like the Walkman did.

They made versions that were AM, AM/FM, and AM/FM/cassette tape. They are long gone now, but it is something I remember fondly, I wish I knew where I could still get one. :)

DAK is still in business, if anybody is curious, they are at
