> 3 dayI have bought 2 pairs of aftershock head phones. One from a truckstop & 1 on Amazon. And neithers battery has lasted more than 2 months. The truckstop one started smoking when it was charging & the amazon one stopped charging. But now Im stuck with it until I get home so I can send it back. Not sure if Ill will try them again. 179.00 dollars for less than 2 month of use is not too good to me.

> 3 dayI think Aftershokz is on to something here. I was really skeptical before buying but glad I did. Mostly very comfortable although I wish the bar in the back was either adjustable or not there. Call quality is great, and is great for audiobooks. As others have said the music quality could use a bit of help but not as bad as I thought. I think Aftershokz has the opportunity to make them the perfect headset with a few improvements.

> 3 dayIve worn hearing aids for the past thirty-some years. My hearing was damaged in my earlier career by loud industrial surroundings day in, day out and the damage was permanent. Hearing aids prevented me from using the popular types of listening devices like buds or trendy earphones. When I found these, I was amazed of the quality, and that it worked so well with hearing aids in. This is the perfect solution for me and Im sure a lot of those reading this review would feel the same way. AfterShokz have changed the way I had to deal with heavy earphones that covered the ear, plus they were ridiculously hot. With AfterShokz on your ears they allow you to be open and in touch with the rest of the world, while still being entertained, privately. Must take a call, answer your phone though your ArterShokz, press the left-hand button and answer, or let it ring and ignore, like I do. I highly recommend these to improve your listening through hearing and feeling sound like I did.

> 3 dayI had the titanium for a few months before I droped them and they started to rattle. I tried another style of earbuds but not being able to hear out one ear was anoing and hard to follow conversation with clients. I returned the ear buds after trying them for a few weeks. When I put these on I was blown away by how much better they sounded than the titanium and even the ear buds that were the same price. The only thing Im worried about is the magnetic charger, I know they give you 2 but that wont help you if you forget them at home. You cant just stop by the store and grab one. Also would be awesome if they made these compatible with a wireless charger.

Greater than one weekLove these! I returned 2 other headsets before finding these. They fit well, you dont even know you are wearing them and some quality is excellent. Bought these for a remote position to use on calls and zoom meetings. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayThis is the first time I have tried this style of headphone. I have purchased at least 4 different styles/brands of Bluetooth earbuds in the last few years, trying to get a pair that works well for running.

> 3 dayAll said and done I am enjoying these headphones/buds very much. In the ear buds no matter how good a fit become irritating to the ear after couple hours. I can wear these as long as I want with no effects. Bass not wonderful but also not non-existent a fair trade off for comfy ears in my opinion. People do look twice and think its a medical attachment lol...screw em! They work with my glasses on too guess ear piece on glasses would matter if there real thick, I just like these thats all. Very happy

> 3 dayI like the fit - a lot. I dont do well with things in my ears, so these were attractive options. I also like that I can be listening to music or phone call and not be isolated from outside events (like cars coming at me, people trying to get my attention, etc). The controls are OK once you get used to them. The bass response is weak, but, really, I expected that - its strength is in conducting sound via bone, not directly in your ear. Its sometimes a little odd to feel a buzzing on my bone when the volume increases, but, again, not a big deal.

> 3 dayI initially liked these. They did what they were designed to do: allowed me to listen to podcasts while running, without losing the benefit of being able to hear what is going on around me. But a few months in first one, and then the other, side started making a rattling sound as if the parts were all loose inside. The sound quality became dreadful because once the parts were loose, the volume could not compete with surrounding noise. I tried repeatedly to make a warranty claim. The website is appalling. It constantly claims I have forgotten my password (which I havent) but requests to send a reset email dont work. Then, when one finally does come and I reset the password, the website immediately claims that it is wrong. My first attempt to get a warranty replacement resulted in no contact at all. My second attempt elicited an email from their Customer Happiness Team. The email itself made no sense at all and was clearly a generic email. It seemed to suggest that my request for a replacement had been successful. But then again, it also said that if Id asked for an upgrade or a refund, those requests had also been successful. (As I said: a generic email.) Then what? Nothing. No further communication. No replacement. No refund. Nothing. If this company really did make earphones of the high quality they claim, they would have a proper customer service centre and effective replacements of faulty products. Dont waste your money!
