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

Been using them for several generations now. Use is beyond limits of in ear over ear use it merges personal audio with world around you. Augmented audio reality. Just manage volume.

Pretty cool. Good for listening to a book or music while not blocking out family that might be trying to talk to you or get your attention. Good for running and hearing traffic. Good for driving and hearing traffic. Not great for biking downhill or at speeds which wind makes it inaudible. Not great for listening to something in bed/leaning against something because the back is ridged and sticks out past my neck/back of my head. So if I recline it pushes into the back of my earlobes and the sound pieces get pushed out of place, making it uncomfortable and inaudible. At higher volumes the vibrations tickle my face so much that I can’t do it for very long.

I need these for work. I need to be anchored in some music, but I need to be able to hear whats going on around me. These are perfect! The audio quality is better by far than my Airpod 2nd gen, and thats saying something for bluetooth earbuds. The battery life is fantastic, regularly getting my through an 8 hour shift with 40-20 percent power left over. I recommend this to anyone!

Work really well. Comfortable.

This is old used and not working product being replaced by previous customer and returned as new. Amazon didnt bother to check, bur says like new. Seriously?????! See attached photo

Very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

I usually dont write reviews the only reason Im writing this one because maybe I can help somebody else. I have a medical issue with my ears. I cannot wear earbuds and I only can wear a headset phones for short period time. These headphones are worth every penny to me. I have no more issues with my ears and you can hear your surrounding while listening to whatever so its win win both ways.

I did not get these for noise cancellation. I got them to use at work for background music while still being able to hear customers and coworkers. They work perfectly. I charge them every night and they last a whole work day and then some.

I tried these with my Garmin forerunner 645 music. Even while Im walking the connection drops about every ten seconds. The companys next model down keeps a connection while Im running, and if it does drop I can pinpoint the reason. If you need an active headset, but the Air. If you need better sound, and youre sedintary, these might work. But there are better headphones available for sedintary use.

I had a pair of the Aftershokz Titanium for a year and have to say I wasnt impressed with it overall. I decided to give the Aeropex a try, and my gosh what a difference this version makes! First to get a few things out of the way for those new to bone conduction. These headphones do not isolate outside sound - by design - so you wont be able to make out much of your podcast in a noisy subway car. Nor can you expect real bass. Its simple physics. If you boomy bass is what you are after, or you expect to constantly be in a noisy environment, youll be much happier with a $20 pair of earbuds with good sealing tips. You use bone conduction headset to retain full situation awareness of your aural surroundings. Compare to the original Aftershockz, the Aeropex is lighter, much more comfortable to wear, and have appreciably fuller and louder sound. Its completely worth of the $80 extra IMHO. I am also happy with the customer service - I had some issues with the multi-function button with my original pair. I contacted customer support and they sent me a replacement pair within days - no questions asked. There are two issues that prevents me from giving this 5 stars. First is the questionable decision to use a proprietary charging cable - sure the magnetic connection works very well and they are nice to include two cables in the box. But Id have much preferred a standard USB-C connection or Qi-based wireless charging, so I dont need to carry yet another cable when I travel. 2nd is a software issue - when headset makes a loud beep whenever you press a button, and its volume is not adjusted for the volume setting of the headset. So the beeps are startlingly loud when you are listening to some quiet music. Its gotten so annoying that I try not to use the headset to adjust volume at all at night.
