AfterShokz Aeropex - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones - Sweat Resistant Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running - Built-in Mic

Great sound. Great comfort. Love them!

If they dont seem loud enough use the ear plugs so you block ambient noise and they will be much louder. I love these because you can listen to music and still hear whats going on around you. Just remember if youre driving dont turn them up to loud otherwise you may not hear emergency vehicles.

This sound will never be as clear in the ear headphones, but what you gain far surpasses and minor loss. So unless youre a stereophile who need pristine sounds you will love this. Moreover, once you get use to not having anything in your ears you will never go back. In fact I now gave away my Airpods.

These would be a solid 5 stars EXCEPT for the fact that when two devices are connected, should you step away from one, the engineers decided they needed to make the most annoying thing ever - lets beep at the listener incessantly. I connect mine to my iPhone and my computer at my office - and then my computer at home when Im there. I regularly step away from my work computer and the beeping starts. When Im home and go for a bike ride or run, the beeping starts. THE ONLY way to stop it, is to turn off - then wait ... then turn back on, and start music / audio again. If the mfr is reading - PLEASE make it stop! These are wonderful for phone calls. But if I walk away from computer, the beeping happens through the rest of the call. I have no idea why they thought this was a good idea, definitely not a feature, but a very annoying bother that needs to go away. Otherwise, they are great and I wear them almost all day for phone calls, music and audio and can hear everyone that I need to. Great for my bike rides and walking. I just hope they can update it to stop the beeps.

Great

These are my newest favorite item! They are so comfortable, I often forget that they are on. They are not meant to cancel noise, so I do. It know why that is a part of the review. If you wear earplugs while also wearing the Aftershokz they do seem to have more noise canceling (obviously). They charge quickly and hold charge for many short runs. I usually charge them once every 2 weeks. The bass is not as good as normal headphones, but it is sufficient. I believe the sound quality is good. Only possible con is that the volume is fairly low for certain recordings. Modern recordings seem fine, but if you listen to some lower quality podcasts or older music the volume may be lower because of the recording quality. Other ear buds tend to hurt my ears over time and fall out often. These stay on even if I am jumping up and down while sweaty. They do not hurt my ears from extended use. LOVE THEM!

Update May 14, 2021 I have had these since February 14. I use them while exercising and sweating heavily - and these are very sweat resistant, unlike the AfterShokz Air. These are GREAT! These are also perfect for the office and home office. They pair with both my smart phone and Windows laptop seamlessly. These have long battery life - all day, and quick charging. February 14, 2021 I just bought AfterShokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones from Amazon and tried them out today. I am REALLY impressed. They are light-weight and the best sounding bone conduction headphones Ive had. Bone conduction headphones are not for everyone. I love them because the ear pieces fit right in front of the ear on the cheekbone - keeping the ear opening free and so I can hear my environment. They dont sound as good as conventional headphones, especially for music. However, for podcasts and phone conversations, they are great. And a HUGE BOBUS - the Aeropex Bluetooth connects to two devices. So I have my Aeropex connected to both my cell and my laptop. Its great for Zoom/Team conferences on my laptop, phone calls on my cell, cell podcasts - without having to disconnect and reconnect my Bluetooth. Previously I had AfterShokz Air bone conduction headphones and really liked them, but they died from sweat from my workouts - I even replaced them (under warranty) twice, but sweat was a killer. The Aeropex is rated better for water resistance (and sound better). AfterShokz Aeropex is a little pricey. It comes with a two year warranty - which during the two year period I will be testing the sweat-proof features of it.

Awesome sound quality

I have had AfterShox since they came out, they have been stellar. Granted, they are not at all the sound quality is my Shure brand inear monitor style set, but, for running around, riding bikes, and often using them on the phone they have been great. So, I decide to upgrade from my other set(s) to the Aeropex - disaster. The sound IMO might be better than the lower cost set (that I also purchased on Amazon) but not even close to my Shure (as expected). But, the two-way mode while on my phone was by far terrible compared to my prior sets of Aftershox. Simply unusable...put my old set back on, phone calls are spot on. So, no reason to waste $160 or what ever they are do downgrade after paying more for what I did not need to begin with. Plus, I like the USB charger of the old one as I have that cord in my cars, office, home office and it is easy to get - as opposed to a specific charger that I sure as heck will loose in no time.

Adventure approved! Super lightweigh.. I forgot Im even wearing these. Great for phone calls too. The battery lasts a very long time. These are not meant to be used for noise cancellation without the use of the ear plugs. I absolutely looooove these. Theyre a real game changer for my hiking and backpacking adventures. I can listen to podcasts and music and still am able to hear things around me. If I could give these 100 stars I would.
