> 3 dayTheyre very clean sounding which I was quite happy with. The bass, not so much. Still a good product.

> 3 dayGot these for bike riding. Very Comfortable, dont know theyre there. Can hear cars approaching with no problem, and they have enough volume to get over traffic noise. Havent listened to music, just podcasts, so cant comment on fidelity of music. The loop that goes around the back of the head is stiff, so if wearing a hoodie, or laying your head back you have to adjust them - tip up the back to the crown of your head, not a big issue. Its kind of magic how well they work, when biking, much less wind noise compared to ear buds. Seem very solid, no moving parts or places where they may get stressed.

> 3 dayI’m amazed by how well these headphones work. I bought them for my mother who is hearing-impaired, she can now listen to music and watch videos on her computer and tablet via Bluetooth without any difficulties. 5/5

> 3 dayI use these the most working security at a hospital by attaching a Bluetooth transmitter to our radio. They are better than the standard earpiece in every way! No more filling with moisture, no more constantly fiddling with the radio volume to hear people, no more taping the acoustic tube to me ear. They even went unscathed when I got head-butted by a psych patient.

> 3 dayBecause these work by placement outside the ears, noise cancellation is not a main function, but you can clearly hear whatever is coming through them (music, podcasts, phone calls, etc.) and still hear whats going around you (traffic, conversations, announcements, etc.) Traditional earbuds hurt the edge of my ear canals, but the AfterShokz Aeropex open-ear design are more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time (flights, golfing, pickleball, working out, etc.) Plus, the battery life is outstanding! After two full rounds of golf, watching a 2.5hr movie, and a couple workouts, its only down to 60%.

> 3 dayThis is my second pair of bone conducting headphones from them. Both have failed on the left speaker. Audio range is good, works amazing in environments where ear plugs are necessary. The aeroplex has intermittent BT connectivity issues. I can incidentally walk away from my phone over 300 and barely start to have signal issues, then Ill have issues with my phone in my back pocket. I ran my first pair for over 2 years on 12 hour shifts with intermittent listening and rarely had to recharge, though the failing left speaker caused frustrations. Im on a year with the aeroplex and aside from the intermittent left speaker failure, the battery life is amazing and I can wear them in a manufacturing environment with ear protection and enjoy my books. The battery life still holds great, and the standby barely drains anything. Ive forgotten to charge them. left them connected overnight. and still had hours of life left. I want to rate a full 5 stars due to the overall capability of these headphones, though the left speaker starting to buzz and crackle in the left ear causes issues. Still recommend.

> 3 dayOngoing chemo over the years has taken most of my normal hearing. Even with hearing aids each chemo cycle takes more. I have paired these with many devices but it sure is nice to be able to watch tv or a movie without blowing everyone else out. These are a huge change!!!

> 3 dayMy only complaint (which I did NOT deduct stars for...) is that the series of steps to perform the different tasks is a little complicated. I have a problem holding the buttons too long or not long enough which sends me in a death spiral as I try to get back to listening to my music. This is my problem. The sound quality and my ability to still hear the surrounding environment makes them inavaluable!!

> 3 dayI use it at work and its perfect for this purpose if youre attending calls all day long. The sound quality isnt quite there yet, though. For music, movies, or playing videogames, I wouldnt recommend it. For what it is, if youre working out or you dont want to be taking the headphones off your ear every time someone speaks with you at the office, thats great!
