I may have found the perfect accessory for my G5.
These are open-ear wireless bone conduction headphones. To use their description, "unlike traditional headphones that send sound through the ear canals, our patented bone conduction technology delivers audio through the cheekbones. With nothing inside or over your ears, enjoy total awareness and comfort while you listen".
I gotta tell you guys - it is freaking AMAZING! They are featherweight and do not go into your ears. When paired to the G5 via BT, you can listen to the radio while your ears are wide open and you can listen to and carry on other conversations with other people like normal, while hearing radio traffic, and they can't hear a thing! The audio is completely silent and is transmitted into your brain through some kind of vibration black magic via your cheek bone. It is like hearing perfectly clear flawless digital audio in my brain but my ears remain fully functional for normal conversation. It will be hard to take these off because they're incredibly lightweight and it does not even feel like you have it on. It takes a bit of brain adjustment as its like simultaneous audio tracks into your brain - its really like nothing I've ever experienced. It really does allow me to monitor G5 audio traffic completely inconspicuous to anyone in my surroundings. However they do ask what kind of gadget it is and then want to try it.
As for BT pairing, you'll need to wait until the 1.3 firmware is released. However, I can confirm it pairs to the G5 on the 1.3 beta .
