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

I was gifted one and I loved it, my hubby wanted one, I bought one for him, he lost them at airport, now he ordered another one.

When turned all they way up they vibrate so beware. Not very comfortable to wear when this happens. Maybe good for quiet offices or libraries etc. not good for riding motorcycle etc. not a bad product overall but I do not think the technology is all the way there yet. Maybe in a few years a better model will come out

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.

I use them for running. It is nice to be able to hear fine when it is paused. I tried the powerbeats pro but I did not like that I could not hear very well even when paused.

This is my second Aftershokz headset and I am happy with sound quality and comfort. However, when switching on the mute setting on Microsoft Teams, this headset plays 2 loud beeps EVERY 5 seconds!! I have contacted the customer support and this is a factory setting that cannot be changed. Supposedly this is intended to alert you to the mute setting, but given long TCs where one is on mute for long minutes it is driving me crazy. Be aware that if you intend to use this headset for teleconferencing, this is an issue.

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.

Bone conducting sounds very exotic but its a little more usual than you might think. To get an idea: Grab a pair of decent on-ear headphones, place them on your temples so your ears are uncovered, and turn up the volume a bit. This is pretty much what Aftershokz sound and feels like. It makes you realize there is a bone conducting component to regular headphones. Similarly, there is still an aural component to these - if you have them sitting on a desk or hanging up, you can still hear them audibly over the air. For the price youre paying, youre getting a new usage experience rather than sound quality. Here are some examples: * Actual wet performance. Lots of headphones now have some kind of IPxx rating. While they arent damaged by water, that doesnt mean they *work* when wet. These do. You can listen to audio while dunking your head under the shower. Maybe thats not something youre going to do, but it means rain and sweat wont drown it out. Thats something Ive had happen plenty. * Isolation when you want it. ANC and a good seal are fine but they dont beat wearing actual earplugs IMO. I can put in some earplugs and still listen to a podcast while vacuuming my car or something - and I dont have to crank the volume. I think thats impressive. Still, some people cant do earplugs - OK, ANC is better for you. * Awareness when you want it. Things that need your attention can get it. That doesnt mean you can understand everything you hear. The effect is like having two people talk directly to you at the same time - hard to understand even one of them, and usually the loudest speaker wins. But youre aware at least. Those differences were pros in my opinion. Other pros: Long battery life, great power connector. Pretty good fit (for me - wife disagrees) as the device is small and stays firmly on my head. Also a pretty good mic set up - nobody has complained when Ive used these, unlike my other wireless headphones. Still, for best quality, wired is still the way to go. Cons are not insignificant: * Less audio quality for the money, to be sure. If you want audiophile equipment, move along. These cant provide it. If you just listen to podcasts and place phone calls, I think its A-OK. Also pretty good for providing background music while working. Admittedly, though Im not a music person, this is a little hard to get past. * Personally I hate the controls. On/off, volume, and pause are fine. Beyond that, Im struggling. My cheap plantronics phones are better here. * Bluetooth connectivity. I know Bluetooth isnt perfect and Windows 10 BT experience in particular leaves much to be desired. But comparing these to a cheap pair of plantronics phones, I expected more. The cheap pair connects faster, switches devices significantly quicker and both without as much manual intervention. This is personally my greatest point of dissatisfaction, as the Aeropex are five times the price. I really hope this thing can receive firmware updates to improve connection behavior. I gave these a try for 6 weeks and have decided to keep them, despite my reservations. It came down to the fact that, even with the shortcomings, I get a LOT of use out of them. Enough that I dont feel like rolling the dice on another product for now.

I purchased these to bike, walk, and to listen to music/podcasts around the house. Not for audiophiles, but not bad sound. Really good stereo separation. Sound is like the EQ through your head cuts off the lows, and some of the highs. I may even take these traveling, so I can listen to podcasts while the family listens to the radio. Glad I bought them.

Only owned the Aeropex headset since May; today I tried to turn it on and it wouldnt start. Tried charging it and nothing happened (no LED). Update: Aftershokz took a warranty claim and has shipped me a new unit. Will update this review if the new unit works better than the first one did. Added a star for customer service.

I picked these up a little over 1 month ago. They sound fantastic and are extremely comfortable to wear while running. I used these 5-6 times a week while I train (strength training, outdoor running, & road cycling) with zero issues. I fully charged these after each session and always cleaned them off. I went to turn them on earlier this week and it would not work. I tried everything, but they would not power on. The warranty process is easy with them, but I wish they would have lasted longer than a month.
