What Accessories (Cases, Charging Docks, and More) Are Available for Bone Conduction Headphones?

If you’re like me, your gear isn’t just stuff you buy—it’s equipment you trust to keep you connected to the trail, the mountain, and the people riding or hiking beside you. Bone conduction headphones have become a staple for outdoor enthusiasts because they let you hear your music or calls while staying aware of your surroundings. That’s a game-changer when you’re bombing down a singletrack or carving fresh powder. But to get the most out of them, you need the right accessories. Here’s what Wildhorn Outfitters offers to keep your bone conduction headphones ready for the wild.

Protective Cases: Built for the Backcountry

Let’s start with the basics: your headphones are an investment, and they take a beating out there. Whether you’re stuffing them in a pack after a sweaty climb or tossing them in a ski jacket pocket, a quality case is non-negotiable. Wildhorn Outfitters offers a hard-shell EVA carrying case designed specifically for bone conduction headphones. It’s lightweight—under 4 ounces—so it won’t weigh you down, but it’s rugged enough to survive a drop from handlebar height or a tumble in a snowbank. The interior has a custom-fit foam insert that cradles the headband and ear hooks, preventing pressure points that can warp the frame over time. A mesh pocket on the lid stores your charging cable and earplugs (more on those in a moment). The exterior is water-resistant, because let’s be honest—rain, creek crossings, and slushy chairlifts happen.

Charging Docks: Simplify Your Setup

Nothing kills the stoke like realizing your headphones are dead right before a sunrise ride. Wildhorn Outfitters’ magnetic charging dock solves that. It’s a compact, desk-friendly base that connects to your headphones via a strong magnetic clip—no fumbling with tiny USB ports when your fingers are cold or muddy. The dock plugs into any standard USB-A port (or a wall adapter, sold separately) and charges your headphones in about 1.5 hours, same as the included cable. But here’s the kicker: it doubles as a stand. When you’re not using your headphones, they sit upright on the dock, keeping the ear hooks from getting bent in a drawer. It’s a small touch, but for anyone who’s ever had a headband snap from being crushed in a gear bag, it’s worth its weight in trail mix.

Earplugs and Audio Accessories

Bone conduction headphones shine in loud environments—like riding into a headwind or skiing through a blizzard—but they can struggle with ambient noise. Wildhorn Outfitters includes silicone earplugs with every pair of bone conduction headphones, and we sell replacement packs separately. These aren’t your typical foam plugs; they’re designed to fit snugly without blocking all sound. Pop them in when you’re on a busy road or a windy ridgeline, and the audio clarity improves dramatically. For mountain bikers, I recommend carrying a spare set in your pack—they’re small enough to fit in a hip pocket, and they’re a lifesaver when you’re grinding up a fire road with traffic passing by.

Cables and Adapters

We keep it simple here. Every Wildhorn bone conduction headphone comes with a braided USB-A to magnetic charging cable—it’s 18 inches long, tangle-resistant, and reinforced at the connection points to prevent fraying. If you need extra length for a charging dock setup, we offer a 3-foot version. No proprietary nonsense; it’s standard USB on one end, so you can plug into a portable battery pack, laptop, or car charger. For skiers and snowboarders, I’d suggest grabbing a second cable to keep in your vehicle. That way, you can charge on the drive to the mountain without digging through your gear bag.

Mounts and Clips for On-the-Go

When you’re transitioning from a hike to a bike ride or packing up after a day on the slopes, having your headphones within reach matters. Wildhorn Outfitters makes a silicone gear clip that attaches to your pack strap, belt loop, or jacket zipper pull. It’s not a charging accessory—it’s a retention system. Clip your headphones to the outside of your pack when you’re not wearing them, so you don’t have to dig through layers to find them. The silicone grip is non-slip, even when wet, and it won’t scratch the headphone frame. I use mine on my hydration pack’s sternum strap; it keeps the headphones handy for quick breaks on the trail.

Cleaning and Maintenance Kits

Sweat, sunscreen, and trail dust build up fast. Wildhorn Outfitters offers a cleaning kit with a microfiber cloth and a small brush designed to clean the speaker pads and charging contacts without damaging the hydrophobic coating. It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential. A quick wipe-down after every ride or ski day extends the life of your headphones significantly. I’ve seen too many friends lose audio quality because crud clogged the transducers. This kit costs less than a lift ticket and pays for itself in longevity.

What About Carrying Pouches or Straps?

We don’t sell generic pouches or lanyards—our philosophy is that your headphones should be worn or stored in a case that protects their shape. A loose pouch can let the headband twist, which leads to fit issues over time. Stick with the hard-shell case for storage and the gear clip for quick access. If you’re looking for a way to secure them while riding, the clip is your best bet. No floppy straps, no dangling cords.

Final Thoughts: Keep It Simple, Keep It Wild

The accessories Wildhorn Outfitters offers are designed with one goal: to remove friction from your time outside. A charging dock that’s ready when you are. A case that survives the backcountry. Earplugs that make your music cut through the wind. That’s it. No unnecessary gadgets, no overengineered solutions. Just durable, easy-to-use gear that lets you focus on the ride, the hike, or the run.

So next time you’re gearing up for a weekend adventure, grab a case and an extra charging cable. Your future self—standing at the trailhead with fully charged headphones—will thank you. Now get out there and #ShareTheWild.
