Aftershokz Aeropex Mini (Rebranded as Shokz OpenRun Mini) Bone Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

These exceeded my expectations

I was amazed at the sound quality! I wear hearing aids and glasses and I don’t have any problems. Very comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Temple transducer headphones will change your life. Being able to safely listen to music while maintaining the ability to interact acoustically with your surroundings means youll be listening to more music than you ever have before. In the last 3 years since i started wearing these, ive ridden my bicycle over 1500 hours and spent over 1000 hours jogging each year, and all of that was while listening to music when i previously did not. I cannot speak highly enough for how awesome these headphones are for that. They do not have any noise cancellation, which is pointless that they have that as a rating factor. The entire point of temple transducer headphones is that they allow you to listen to music while listening to your surroundings. Having a conversation with someone while covertly listening to a soundtrack that only you can hear is a superhero power that only temple transducer headphones allow. The AeroPex is the third generation of wireless bluetooth temple transducer headphones from Aftershokz, the company that pioneered the concept, and its the best sounding and lightest weight. I can wear this thing all day and not have it fatigue my ears. It uses a non-standard usb magnetic charger because its the only way to make it totally sweatproof.

I had a pair of the Aftershokz Titanium. I really liked them, but they eventually quit working (after a few years) and I decided to upgrade to the Aeropex. I ordered the Aeropex from Amazon and the ones I received would not pair. I reached out to Aftershokz and they have awesome customer service. They replaced them quickly and the new pair is working perfectly. They are comfortable to wear while running and sound pretty good. I do not hesitate to recommend these headphones.

Randomly shuts off. Major buzzing noise at times before it shuts off. This is my second pair. The first pair would randomly shut off 4+ times in a 12 hour shift. Replacement pair started out better, however, they have started to shut off ever increasingly. And of course, there is no way to return it get money back now. When they work they are pretty good. If you want to gamble away $150+ on an unsure bet, then this is your headphone.

These things are awesome.

I almost loved these!! I really wanted to keep them. The sound was surprisingly good, knowing that the base would be subdued. But wow they sound great. Unfortunately, the headband is huge (seems designed for men only) and not adjustable. I bought these for running with the dog and to wear while snowboarding, so for either activity they are totally unsuitable. They are uncomfortable, slip off, and dont fit well while moving or wearing a helmet. AfterShokz offers a mini, but unfortunately not in this model. I will try ordering the mini anyways and see how it goes. The headband is just plastic, for a higher-end model like this, i dont know why they dont just provide you a couple size options that can be changed. Frustrating.

Ordered the mini and they sent the regular ones. Apparently words dont mean things. The product itself is amazing.

Im going to compare these a lot to Phaiser BHS-530, because I used them with great satisfaction for over three years, until they were recently discontinued and I was forced to find a new wraparound-style model. The Phaisers were usually $30 and lasted about a year. These Aftershokz cost about four times that and sound slightly worse. Ive had this pair for about 2 months now, but well see how long they last.

I like the magnetic charging hookup.
