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

I was surprised by how good these headphones sounded for being bone conduction. They get plenty loud at least around the house or office. I didnt get them to work out, so I cant speak to that, I got them for the office. In ear headphones give me a headache so I was looking for an alternative. I didnt want bulky over ear style so these fit the bill for what I was looking for. This allows me to listen to music or podcasts at my desk and I can still hear people approach me or call my name in the office. I made a few test calls and every said I sounded fine, I can hear the people talking as well. I also tried audiobooks and they sound fine as well. Of course there isnt much bass to these, thats just the nature of bone conduction. If I want bass I would use something else. However, they remind me of cheap buds or even apple earpods/airpods (non-pro) in terms of sound quality, good enough to get the job done esp at work or I imagine a work out. Expensive, relatively, but they stay on my head and dont give me a headache, so worth it for me.

My wife and I are pretty active and do a lot of outdoor cycling, running, walking, etc. The bone conduction technology is a definite safety factor since it allows you to hear environmental noises. I havent tested the noise cancellation aspect, but I would think earplugs would be as effective with or without the headphones. The sound of these is excellent especially since these are bone conductive. OTE headphones would probably have better sound for audiophiles, but the sound on the Audioshokz is very good. I have used / tested some cheaper bone conduction headphones and their sound was not nearly as good as these Aeropex. These sound as good as athletic ear buds that I have used. The comfort and size are a big plus. I will forget that I have them on since they arent in my ear. They pair well with my Android phone for music and phone calls. I havent had any complaints regarding the mic when used for a phone call. One of the biggest features for me (besides the comfort and sound quality) is the water proof rating. I sweat heavily when exercising and have ruined other sport water resistant earbuds as a result. Many times the speaker or the charging port is the weak link in allowing water access. The magnetic charging used for these is great, no charging ports or port covers to deal with and the speaker drivers are sealed. I have used my pair about a year? without any issue. I am completely satisfied with these headphones and impressed with the build quality, comfort and sound. I would recommend these to anyone!

Broke 4 months in.

At the time of ordering, it was advertised that would include a Sports Belt. Received the product but not the Sports Belt. Is this your issue or Amazons?????

Im a roofing contractor and regularly have to answer my phone & talk hands free while still being able to hear clearly around me. This was recommended by another contractor to fit the bill. I ordered it and was initially VERY disappointed in the microphone, no one could really hear what I was saying. I kept trying it in different context assuming it was a problem with background noise. I eventually filed a warranty claim, and Aeropex handled the claim easily online, and sent me a replacement set of headphones that have worked as described! Yes, its true that as a jawbone technology, the base isnt great, and if the volume is too high it loses sound quality, but if you need an open ear headset to listen to podcasts, audio books, and take phone calls its great! If you are an audiophile and need great sound at higher volumes then you probably dont want an open ear headphone anyway. Thanks Aeropex for standing behind your product!

I don’t write many reviews, but this product exceeded all expectations. I use these headphones for several hours every day, in all types of environments. I use them when I’m driving. I use them when I’m biking. I use them playing golf. I use them around the house. They are so comfortable and natural, it’s like music is following you everywhere you go, but without blocking out the sounds of the world around you. They are really extraordinary. Let me go into a bit more detail. I have several other wireless headphones... AirPods Pro, PowerBeats Pro, and Bose QC30. The sound quality on all of them is fabulous. They all have their pros & cons when it comes to design. The AirPods are convenient to stick in your pocket. The PowerBeats are great for working out. The Bose are great for airplanes. The biggest drawback of all of them is that they are ear buds, and even with the noise canceling disabled, they block out too much ambient sound for some activities. For example, I’d never use both buds when driving or biking as it was too dangerous. If you wear ear buds around other people, you can’t have a normal conversation without constantly removing them. In addition, if you leave the ear buds in for long periods of time, you’re likely to irritate your ear canal. With the AfterShokz none of this is a problem. I can’t speak to the other AfterShokz models, but the Aeropex are so light and secure that they aren’t even noticeable... you forget you have them on. Because they don’t go into your ear, but around and in front of it, you can hear everything around you as if you didn’t have headphones on and you can wear them for hours and hours. They are very thin, so no problem wearing them with glasses, a hat, and even a mask. The sound quality is not as good as the ear buds, but it is very good at low & medium volume levels. The only negative I’ve experienced (and it’s not really a negative) in a week of wearing them is that at high volume levels they can vibrate a bit (especially if you’re listening to something with heavy bass), which is annoying, but it’s also a sign that the volume is probably too loud anyway. Just notch the volume down one or two clicks and it’s perfect. I haven’t stretched the battery to it’s limit, but yesterday I used them for 7 hours with no problem... 2 hours driving and 5 hours on the golf course. On the golf course, you can have music playing all day and no one around you has any clue... they can’t hear it and you’re able to have normal conversations with them. It’s really liberating for someone that like to have music playing in the background all the time. And as a side benefit, the music really helps with my swing tempo! One tiny issue... the USB charging cable is unique for these headphones (not a microUSB or Apple connector). It’s magnetic, which makes attaching it to the headphones very easy. The headphones come with 2 of these special cables, but they are short. And the big problem... if you are caught without one, you won’t be able to recharge unless you find someone with an AfterShokz cable. I can’t recommend these headphones highly enough. Although there are other headphones with better sound quality, these are good enough and you’ll find yourself ditching the others and using these constantly.

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.

Excelente producto y muy rápido el envió

Okay so I just received this headset and so far I really like it. I purchased it because I work in an office and want to be able to hear my coworkers and the phones while at the same time being able to enjoy listening to music. This headset allows me to do that with no problem. I fully charged the unit prior to use and listened to music nonstop for 7 hrs 20 minutes. I could have kept listening as it was still playing when I shut everything off to leave for the day. The sound quality is very good for the price paid though as others have said it does not supply a robust bass. That being said, I am not disappointed in the slightest as I am not someone who turns up the bass to higher levels anyway. The only question for me that remains unanswered is will they hold up for the entire warranty. That remains to be seen; however, if they do not, I will come back and update this review.

Unfortunately these didnt work for me. I have tried several bone conduction headphones and out of all of them these had the best sound quality, and while using with my phone, the person I was talking to could hear me substantially better with this set than all of the others. The problem I have though is that they are too tight which is causing pain in my temples and headaches. It is almost like stressful. I would definitely keep this set over others if this was not occurring.
