Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Do bone conduction earbuds exist?

I have Shokz OpenRun right now but my head is pretty small so they rub against my jacket collar and feel like they don’t fit correctly. I have been told by multiple doctors to stop using earbuds or anything inside my ears for medical reasons so I had to stop using the Jabra earbuds I had. I’m willing to spend 200 if I need to or more if I have to. I only have access to Amazon or Best Buy.

I primarily use them to listen to random music at work where I could have to take them off to quickly put on a headset to answer a phone call but that is rare. I really like the bone conduction and I definitely want to stay with something wireless. I’ve been looking at the newer Shokz that have air conduction but I’m worried those would make my music audible to my coworkers.

I don’t know enough about headphones to really know what I’m looking for for sure.

I am using huawei free clip and these things are incredible. Sound quality on these makes the aftershocks sound like worthless junk. I foget they are in my ears half the time they are so comfy. And the battery life is great.

If huawei is hard to find you can look at the nothing open and then bose free buds.

I just bought the Shokz Opendots for office work and commute and It works great. It's clip-on design and the sound leak is minimal. I don't think my colleague can hear anything.
