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

i bought this is end of may 2021. used about 3-4 hours a day. It died on Feb 2022. lasted about 9 months.

I wavered on buying this for a little bit. Was previously running a small speaker on my bike to listen to tunes, but I wanted something less bulky, and less disruptive to people around me. Eventually I pulled the trigger and I have to say that the headphones work really well. Heres the review I wish I had seen to put my fears about buying this to bed:

I do not like losing hear pods. Nor do i like refitting pods again and again as i move. These are perfect. When i ride my bike i do not even know that they are there. Just beautiful music.

Best headphones Ive had yet! Great sound, easy use, great battery life, stay on when running and doing HIIT! Have survived my loads of sweat as of now!

I love these headphones, but there is no way to turn the UI volume down. Specifically the beeping when pressing the multi-function button. It seems the no matter how high I have the volume set at the multi-function button is ALWAYS louder. Its deafening.

If you are a grappler who have been frustrated to find the right headset for training, here is the good news. After trying out almost all the premium earbuds in the market, from Airpods, Beatz, Jabra to Bose. I can confidently say this one is the best in terms of fit, and overall practicality. My left ear is quite damaged from years of grappling and all other earbuds have problem staying in for longer time and during my exercise, I have to constantly make adjustment which is really annoying. Surprisingly, Aftershockz solved this problem without compromising too much sound quality, and even the mic works pretty well too! In addition, the battery is excellent so far. Personally, when I run outside I do not like to be completely isolated in terms of sound so not having noise cancellation for me is actually preferred. However, if noise cancellation is your top priority, I think AirPod pro may be your best bet.

When using the headphones I’m not looking for noise cancellation because I want to hear things around me however the mic could be better for when I’m talking to others. The other issue I have is the battery life, otherwise the headphones are great in own two pairs so I can switch when one loses charge.

Comfortable fit although cant lie back on pillow with them since wraparound piece still not fitted enough. Better battery life than any bluetooth earpiece Ive owned (3-4). Good for listening but some callers on the other end claim to hear background noise when wearing these outside. Ringing sound not adjustable and way too loud. Definitely need to fix that but overall worth it because much more comfortable to wear for 8-hour day than the bluetooth earpieces Ive owned.

All the functions seem to work fine. Easy to set up. However, it is not adjustable at all. So if you dont have a big round head, this product will not fit. I have a small head and this product sticks out 2 inches past my head. I gave it to my husband.

Cant say enough on how easy to use these are. Sound quality is awesome. Plus my ears dont hurt. Never been able to wear buds as the dont fit in my ear. Now I wear these and they work! Sometimes I forget i have them on as they are so comfortable you hardly notice you have them on.
