Bone conduction headphones attracting insects
I've been using bone conduction headphones while hiking for a few years now. They're the best.
However, I've noticed a phenomenon that first made me feel like I'm going crazy but with more experience, I think it's real.
Whenever I use the headphones, especially listening to podcasts or audio books, as opposed to music, flies seem to go absolutely crazy trying to land on / in my ears.
I've even done some testing wearing the headphones with nothing playing, to verify it's not just the sweat captured by the transducers.
From the start my theory has been that they're attracted by the vibrations, since the buzzing of spoken word and flies seems to be of remarkably similar frequencies.
A very quick and crude research suggests insects really are into frequencies similar to human speech.
So, I guess my question is: Does anyone have the same observation, or is it all in my head?
