The disclosed acoustic device and method of using the same allow perception of a bright, clear sound. In an acoustic device (1) for transmitting sound to a user through vibration conduction by contacting a vibrating body (10a) to a human auricle, when a measurement system (10), provided with an ear model (50) including an artificial auricle (51) and an artificial external ear canal (53) and with a microphone (62) that measures air-conducted sound in the artificial external ear canal (53), measures the air-conducted sound upon the acoustic device (1) outputting a fundamental frequency at a predetermined frequency in an audible frequency band while placed in contact with the ear model (50), three or more harmonics at or above the sixth harmonic and having a volume exceeding a volume 45 dB below the volume of the fundamental frequency are measured.
