    It is a very good quality product. I charge it one week and I use it almost everyday between45-60 minutes.

    Ideal if you find earbuds awkward or sore to wear or over-ear headphones too warm.

    Great if you would like to wear headphones but still hear the surrounding as if you are not wearing anything.

    These are fantastic for any kind of exercise, they have a good battery life, are waterproof and light weight. I bought them for cycling, walking and running.

    These are my second pair of aftershocks as I list my first. They are fantastic hands free. And even warn you if they are too loud.
    Absolutely EPIK.

    Excellent product I am partially sighted I do a lot of walking I like to listen to music which is very hazardous with AirPods or normal headphones with this item I can hear what’s going on around me at the same time as enjoying the music

    I wish I’d discovered these years ago.
    Yes they are expensive, but worth saving for. I’ve never been able to wear buds or headphones as they give me inner earache. These are perfect. I can’t believe how good the sound is, I can wear them when working and still be aware with what’s going on. I can now listen to podcasts while walking the dog as I feel safe being able to hear everything else. You’d think being able to hear other things would put you off but it doesn’t. Charging is fast enough for me and the battery life is also good. Easy to pause and adjust volume without pulling out my phone. Very soft and comfortable to wear. No complaints. Highly recommended!

    Had fancied a pair of these for a while but took ages to take the plunge as wasn’t sure how the sound quality would be. In the event, I’m really impressed. It isn’t quite as good as my similarly priced in-ear buds but it is very good, lots of detail and even the bass is better than you’d think it would be. Bought for running and they are ideal for that purpose – comfortable, stay put and the big thing for me is that you can still hear the world around you. Would recommend to anyone who wants good quality sound whilst not blocking out the outside environment.

    Yes you can buy better over-ear, or in-ear, head phones, But if you want to be aware of what is going on around you and be heard when using your phone with the roof down in the car, or even be cool in the summer these are the things to get. PS. unless you’re hearing is that perfect that you can hear a pin drop with perfect clarity from 30 ft the sound is excellent too.

    I have some hearing loss and tinnitus.
    I bought these to use on Zoom & listening to podcasts at home however I found that they made my tinnitus worse. It will probably settle down over time.

    I use headphones when I run and ride and I will not use both pods in-ear as this is dangerous, especially riding, so I only use one at a time
    So was interested to try out these bone headphones as they had good reviews (relatively)
    I’ve used them half a dozen times now and overall the sound quality is nothing compared to the (cheaper) Bose sport Bluetooth in-ear ones I have BUT quality is adequate as I am only using them for sport and the fact that they leave your ears uncovered is great – both for safety, comfort and they don’t get sweat upon
    Main complaint is the volume controls are ridiculously fiddly to use, in reality unuseable with gloves on though the button control (for pause, skip, phone etc) is easy to use
    Update after a few months – they work well for telephone calls
    Weak point is lack of volume – beside loud road noise they are overwhelmed and if you want a real beat and volume to drive the running, they are quite quie

    These are the best. There are times I dont even KNOW i am wearing them apart from the low ambient music (I set it on low volume). Im so used to always having these on that my whole day has music playing just in the background!

    I can have full conversations with people WHILE listening to music.

    ALSO its great for picking up phone calls.

    Ive bought 3 aftershokz over the past 3-4 years. I have other headsets for various reasons, but these are the ones I pick up for: dog walks, bike rides, gym, shopping, cooking….

    HIGHLY recommend giving these a go.

    On the flip side: not the best for sound quality – but not noticeable if youre using it for the purpose its meant (ie: getting on with things and being present while having music in the background). There is NO noise cancellation – thats the point, you got these to hear your surroundings.

    I was looking for headphones that don’t fall out when running. Stumbled across the AfterShokz range and due to good reviews went for them. The bone conducting is great, really pleased with them. If the volume is turned up the vibration can feel a bit odd next to your ear, but soon goes with sweating. As they are not in ear you can hear your surroundings better. Sound quality is good but not as good as in ear. They feel totally secure when on which was the main reason for buying. Very happy.

    The headphone was great. The sound was decent. light on the ears. Love it

    The issue is the while pairing. The headphone died on me. And it does not come back on. That’s after 7 months of use. No water damage or impact damage.

    customer service replaced the earphones after a long month.

    Reason for the 4 stars
    – The fault it developed.
    – long hard wait for a replaceme

    These headphones are great for situational awareness but recently the left side started rattling and I am unable to claim the warranty because I hadn’t got the serial number which is on the box and on a card, not on the product themselves, SO BUYER BEWARE
    EDIT: They are sending me a new pair even without the serial number, changed review from a 3star to 4sta

    Great product at a great price (paid 120 for them from there site special deal)I have now used them a number of times and don’t know why I did not get these before! They never fall out as not in your ear battery last a long time and sound although not as good as in ear head phones great for running on the open road as you can hear what’s going on around you all the time. I don’t need any fancy features I just want a headset that does the job and these are superb I run 3 times a week and I like the fact that when I put them on it tells me the battery situation and also so fast at pairing with my running watch or phone. So all in all a great product and suits me

    I bought this explicitly to listen to podcasts and for that purpose it’s perfect. I tested it with music when i first got it, and it’s okay, but not as good as noise cancelling headphones and at high volumes, you do get an annoying vibration.

    However, seeing as I don’t use it for music, it’s ideal.

    I bought these for two reasons. The first being that I have always had in-ear headphones, bu t a recent ear infection stopped me from wearing these and I couldn’t handle the idea of running with over-ear headphones,
    The second reason was safety, being able to be aurally aware of your surroundings whilst listening to music as you run, and therefore not stepping out in front of a bus seemed to b a great idea.

    Sound quality is reasonably decent, the headphones are very comfortable to wear, they don’t slip or fall off. or move around whilst you’re running and the battery life is just fine. Very happy to have these.

  21. ArchieThyer says:

    Given their intended purpose of providing audio while maintaining awareness of surroundings they are great. Music sounds surprisingly good, and they are invaluable for directions when running new routes using something like komoot for planning. It can be hard to hear when alongside busy, noisy traffic but I think that’s pretty unavoidable with this technology and not a fault.

    They drop one star because there is no feedback for when the assistant is activated and ready to accept voice commands. The assistant is useful if you have your phone zipped away while running.

    If you accidentally press the button twice for the assistant it redials the last phone number which is NEVER what I want to happen! I wish this could be disabled and there was a beep when the assistant was waiting for commands.

    I previously owned Aftershokz titanium headphones which I was more than happy with. However, these were classed as sweatproof and not waterproof. I decided to upgrade to the Aeropex for this reason and have not regretted it. The sound quality is great for someone like me who has hearing loss in both ears. I can now listen to music in stereo, which was almost impossible previously as hearing loss is different in each ear.
    The headphones also allow calls to be taken clearly and am told by call recipients that the sound is also clear at the other end. I would say they are slightly expensive at full retail price, but I bought mine at a big discount on Prime Day.
    I would recommend these.

    These are brilliant, as a keen runner and rider I wanted some earphones that would let me listen without stopping me hear others, be they runners, bikers or motorists (for obvious reasons!)

    These leave your ears open to the world around you and play music direct into your skull using your bone to carry the vibration into your ears.

    They don’t have the sound quality of my Sony XM3 over-ear cans but I didn’t expect them to – what they provide is perfectly acceptable for you to listen while retaining spatial awareness. Apparently you can even swim in them, but not tried that yet.

    Picked them up on the Prime day sales, great buy with the 33% discount applied.

    It does what it’s designed to do and I’m pleased with it.

    Received product on 11th May 2021

    Pros:
    – Sound = Don’t expect any anything amazing. Very good sound quality though. Bass is very minimal.
    – Mic = Very good/clear/loud > Sent voice messages on Whatsapp, made phone calls etc and so far no one had mentioned my voice sounds very low.
    Battery = So far it does last and perhaps beyond the 8 hours. Max 9, as I currently work from home have it on all day with Youtube on.

    Cons
    – Noise Cancelling – these are absolutely not made for that, hence for environmental awareness.
    – Commuting – Could get drowned out by road work. Have not tried on UK underground tube yet, so no comments.

    I love these headphones – they feel great and give me excellent sound as a nonaudiophile who mostly listens to podcasts and audiobooks.

    However, my first set failed after about a month. I was taking them off while wearing a hoodie and they died and would not turn back on. I suspect it was some sort of poor static shielding. That being said, it was very simple to get a replacement set which arrived within a week or two. Excellent customer service.

    After two years of use, one warranty swop out, these have been fantastic !
    I will not hesitate to recomend them for use.

    Just to be clear, I tend to use them (the Aftershokz Aeropex) all day long now, for general listening and workouts, and my other studio audio grade headsets and earphones for different purposes.

    Have now purchased the Aftershokz OpenComm headset to test for conference call use. Will update with a review on those after a year or so of use.

    The overall value of my review, is to those discerning buyers, who are not looking for a passing review of a product, rather a genuine, long-term user review, and then to give the review appropriate weight in a buying decision. I do this to help. Hope it does.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’m not a techie or an full on audiophile — just a regular person who enjoys a variety of music styles and podcasts on the go. My motivation for getting these was primarily for use when out alone after dark both dog walking and running, which is not always safe when you have one of your sensory systems is disabled.

    It is a new experience being able to hear both the music in my head and people talking to me or traffic passing by and it’s really quite impressive. The sound quality is good. For the same price, I’d want to be blown away by the quality of an in-ear or over-ear bit of kit, but that’s not what these are. The sound quality is not much better than old my 40 earbuds, but I couldn’t wear those in a shared workspace without cutting myself off from surrounding conversations, they didn’t allow me to do my own thing at home without disengaging from family life and they didn’t give me the freedom to confidently listen to anything when out on my own after dark. These are pretty nifty and what you’re getting for your money is both inclusion and freedom as well as sound quality.

    In terms of Cons, these are not adjustable and, as a petite woman, I find they don’t always site 100% right. This can also be affected by my choice of clothes, headgear or hairstyles. But generally they are comfortable and they always sit correctly enough to work well. I wouldn’t recommend if you intend to use lots while lying flat (I do on occasion in bed, but they can push up at the back and be a little annoying. Again, this could be because I’m on the smaller side). I have not used the accompanying earplugs as noise cancelling is not what I’m currently after, but these will probably be necessary at the gym etc where there is loud background noise.

    Back to Pros – another plus is the battery life — it lasts for hours. And when it does run low, the warning is given well in advance of shutdown so you don’t just suddenly lose it mid workout (I got the warning as I headed out the door recently and was still listening when I returned 45 minutes later. I haven’t pushed how much longer they would have lasted beyond that).

    Noise leakage doesn’t seem to be a problem – I haven’t been blasting techo at full volume but have listened to podcasts and music in quiet spaces and in bed with my partner and been told it’s not noticeable to anyone in close range.

    Overall, whilst these are not perfect for me — and are not cheap — they are a clever bit of kit and I would recommend or gift them to others.

    I bought these headphones for running and I absolutely love them. I’d previously used a variety of in-ear headphones and none of them sat well and kept falling out (or felt like they were about to). I also had a close shave with a car because I didn’t hear it coming (completely my fault because of using ANC headphones). The AfterShokz are an absolute game changer for me. They are incredibly comfortable – you never have to fiddle around with them and you don’t even notice they are on. You hear the traffic around you and so it’s much safer. And the sounds is great. The volume/track controls are really easy to use when running. Plus they are waterproof. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

    Surprisingly little sacrificed in terms of audio quality, podcasts, speaking etc is excellent. Listening to music is not quite as good as with most other decently priced headphones but it’s still serviceable.

    Safety is the biggest reason why you might opt for these, as they don’t go in your ears. I use these on my runs and I can hear most traffic and I don’t feel disconnected from whatever’s going on around me. Even for those who don’t go running, headphones like these might be an option just for walking around town, you can hear what’s going on around you and still be able to hear what’s being played through your headphones.

    On the negative side the higher volumes are pretty unusable as they cause too much tickling in front of the ear and the volume up/down sound and other settings sounds are far too piercing and are no quieter when volume is turned down.

    I was dubious about these and was aware that they wouldn’t sound as good as an in ear headphone. But I’m totally blown away with the sound quality and functionality of them, I have to say that they actually sound better than my shure in ear Bluetooth headphones and everyone that I have shown them to and let them try them are amazed at the quality of the sound.
    Ideal for mountain biking and road cycling I can still hear others and road traffic so completely safe and great for keeping me entertained on solo cycling.
    I’ve marked them as a three on noise cancelling as they are not designed for this but there is a set of earplugs included with them that I have not tried.
    Don’t be a sceptic but yourself a set and you won’t regret i

    I have given this 5 stars for everything.
    However, they are not noise cancelling as they are not in or over the ears but they do give you ear plugs so I guess they would be good noise cancellers!
    I don’t use them for working out but I should image they are fine.
    Sound quality excellent for this type of headphone.
    I bought them as I find in-ear gadgets quite uncomfortable after a while.
    I have a pair of brilliant Beats over-ear headphones – brilliant for quiet listening to audiobooks cos I don’t need my glasses on – I find these uncomfortable with glasses.
    AFTERSHOKZ – very impressed. Very light (don’t even know I have them on). Very comfortable (even with my glasses). Very easy-to-use controls.
    Thank you – after all these years I have found something perfect.

    This is my second pair. I had the original product for many years and they just broke. Although I like these new ones I do have a number of issues:
    1. When used for cycling or running, wind noise does reduce the effectiveness. Same issue in a gym with background music
    2. A pair of ear plugs is provided to overcome the above problem but I find it more effective to just slide the earpieces over my ears. It would have been nice if the ear plus were somehow integrated into the headset with the ability to swing them away when not needed
    3. Charging – understand why they’ve not gone for a micro USB but it’s just another cable to lose/forget. It’s about time the electronics industry standardised on these.
    4. Packaging – weighs more than the product and goes straight in the bin – so much for green credentials

    What is stated by the company is all true this is a great product. luxury feel as well made, as any headset I have used.
    The only issue I have is pairing I need to go through the process each time. I also use apple AirPods and these give me the option to connect each time a call comes in or when I use my laptop. This may be me not using them correctly as I have only had them a few days.

    if AfterShokz Customer service can give me direction on this or someone to contract that would be great.

    Wear them all the time. No more sore ears from in-ear buds or over-ear phones. They allow you to hear what’s going on around you, while enjoying music/audio books etc. so much safer than noise cancelling. They’re very comfortable and can be worn all day. It did take me about 30 mins to get to grips with the sound: it’s a different feeling compared to normal ear phones, but not too weird, you will adapt to it quickly. The battery life is incredible, much longer than advertised. Please do be aware, they are different to “normal” headphones in terms of sound quality, if you want brilliant bass and ultra high quality music, these won’t suit, but the sound quality is very good all round. They’re well priced, and made very well, good and sturdy. Would recommend 100%.

    My first pair of Aftershokz bought with trepidation as I have never spent so much on a pair of headphones.

    However, lockdown has meant a different way of taking exercise – running, walking, cycling, indoor rowing being the main activities. I have a pair of earbuds as well but wearing them for prolonged times was uncomfortable and I felt at times they were going fall out.

    I have found these headphones comfortable to wear and the sound quality good. The increase/decrease in volume could be in smaller increments but overall a good pair of headphones which are easy to wear and light. They are expensive but I think less likely to be lost than a set of expensive earbuds.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’m using this for cycling, the headphones sound is remarkable to say this is done through bone conduction, nothing goes into the ear which is kind of weird
    The packaging is good but a little over designed
    The package comes with a pouch to keep your headphones in when not in use and an AfterShokz bum bag (made of some flimsy looking plastic material) big enough to put a mobile phone into but not perhaps a phablet, and a set of foam ear plugs for noise cancellation
    Personally I think that most of what comes with the headset is tat and how much this over packaging costs could have saved on the overall cost
    The drive to cut down on plastic globally has been lost here
    The funkiest feature is the magnetic charging cable which leaps to the headphones

    I was sceptical at first but after testing my friends pair I was convinced! Now I love them and can’t take them off! They’re comfortable to wear and great for wearing in the gym or doing sports, I don’t have to worry about any ear buds falling out. The sound quality is what really surprised me! Ok, so you have to wear the foam ear buds to really experience noise cancellation but I don’t really care for that. Especially if I’m at work and need to speak with colleagues- I can listen to music and speak to colleagues without having to lower the volume. The quality of build is good, they feel durable, volume and call control is easy to use. The only gripe I have with these is the vibration on high volume, it gets a bit tiresome on the jaw but that’s ok, just don’t listen to music on high volume!

    Was not sure how these would go for cycling, but I really enjoyed using them… After a week of use, they are very comfortable to wear, easy to hook up to phone, but best of all you can hear traffic coming either way, and it allows you to position yourself on the road – without getting caught out by not hearing traffic….

    At speed, the wind over your ears means you need more volume to hear the music, but even then it is not that bad – you could use the foam plugs provided. Taking calls on the aeropex is a doddle, and both the sound and speech is very good…. Battery life is excellent, and the charging does not take long. 2 cables provided is a great help. Great product, and glad I purchased them….

    I was a bit dubious, aftee I had ordered these, because I read more reviews and there were a few negative ones. (Although the majority were 5 star). A couple said that the vibrations made them feel funny or gave them tingly ears, and sound qualitity wasn’t brilliant.
    I needn’t have worried. The sound quality is excellent. I wore them the whole day at work, and could hear when people came and spoke to me. The battery was still fine after using all day.
    Yesterday I went for a 5k run and they were perfect. Didn’t move about or slip like I thought they might. Very lightweight too, you forget they are on.
    I didn’t give any stars for noise cancellation as they don’t…that is what they are designed for, so that you can hear sounds around you.
    I can highly recommend these.

    I decided to go for bone conducting phones as I run a lot and ear bud types are not accepted in most official UK races due to safety concerns. The sound quality of Aeropex is balanced and they are comfortable on a long run. Noise cancellation is irrelevant for these phones when listening as the whole point is to allow you to be aware of your surroundings, however, when ambient noise is low they perform like other phones but without having something stuck in your ears. When used for phone calls the microphones are noise cancelling. Bass is a bit light but I think if it was heavier it could get very tiresome hence my comment about balanced sound. My main criteria for purchase was a good fit so they didn’t need constant adjustment when working out, wireless connection which works well, and as mentioned previously they are accepted for use in official events. I didn’t know what to expect when buying them but I was pleasantly surprised and they certainly do the job that I wanted them to do. They are a bit pricey but they are well made and come with a silicone case with a magnetic catch, a waterproof running belt (which was unexpected but a nice touch) and some ear plugs that can be used to block out sound entering the ear via the eardrums so the effect is more like that from earbuds. There are also two charging cables so you also have a spare. These are magnetic and click into place when the polarity is correct. The other end terminates in a USB connector.

    I bought these for home working and for on the bike.

    Home working = excellent. Great battery life, sound quality is good, connectivity is excellent (dropped x2 and that might have been my fault in about 60hours talk time)

    Bicycle = really pleasantly surprised. I read a few reviews say due to wind noise, you can’t hear and the fit with helmet straps and sunglasses wasn’t good. Fit is brilliant, no issues with either of my helmets or 3 sunglasses, so if there is an issue, it must be head/ear location. Wind noise is a potential issue but at a steady 20 mile an hour, I can hear fine. It gets complicated with head winds. Cycling into a head means sometimes I can be going slowly and not hear clearly. But a tail wind can have the opposite effect. The song also plays a part. Some are louder or at a pitch that is clearer for me. I have found it to be a revelation and the big thing is you can still hear traffic behind you. I tried a pod cast and that wasn’t so good, but that was into a headwind

    In summary, just bowled over at how good they are but u shouldn’t expect to be able to hear everything all the time

    Perfect for the job I purchased them for. Running next to roads and in public means you need to be aware of what is around you, theres nothing like being almost knocked down by a over zealous bike rider or a boy racers M3 style wing mirror! With these they are clear and moreover the bass is fantastic but you can still hear most of what’s going on around you. I’ve also run with others whilst listening to a Podcast and can hear both the podcast and the other person very clearly. Also extremely resistant to water (having run in the rain) and sweat. My favourite purchase of the year by far! Can’t recommend enough. Also (not that I’ve needed to use it yet) but a friend claimed on the warranty and said the replacements arrived promptly within 4 days! Great service too.

    I am really really pleased with these headphones. They are perfect for when I am on the bike and need to keep an ear out for traffic and other hazards. It is very impressive how good the sound is overall even though it is using pure bone conducting audio. No the quality will not be as good as dedicated headphones but that’s not the point. They give the wearer the ability to hear clear sound whilst also being aware of the surrounding environment, something you can’t do with in ear or over ear headphones. There is no “noise cancelling” feature, don’t know why that is an option I can rate it on since it’s not in the feature set of the device at all, kind of defeats the purpose. If you wanted to block out outside noise and just use them like a regular pair of earphones you can do this by wearing foam earplugs.

    Only 3 days in – the make and quality of the product seems first-class and nice packaging. Can’t comment yet on how long they last (comes with a 2 year warranty). Also supplied with a robust silicone bag which I really like to keep them safe. These don’t sound like your Bose over ears and don’t think they will, the bass is not the same and as they’re not in your ears it can’t be, but you can hear the music really well and the midrange response is spot on so great for vocals and superb for podcasts and talking/books etc. This is the compromise for being able to hear your environment and for me when I’m cycling or out walking the dog there isn’t a better and more comfortable earphone or headphone, and I’ve tried a few! I have my Bose when I want some thumping bass and noise-cancelling earphones when I’m stuck on a train and want to block out the world, so these are an ideal addition to earphone/headphone solutions. Highly recommend, so long as you know what you’ll get, the difference in sound compared to normal headphones/earphones -but if you need to hear outside as well, fully recommend this very clever solution.

    Generally a brilliant product. Sound is pretty good either with or without earplugs, especially considering the unusual way that it is transmitted. This is clearly not a product for listening to music at its peak, but for use while outdoors and during exercise in particular, it is ideal.
    My biggest frustration is trying to control track numbers. I mostly use mine to listen to audiobooks. Pausing and playing are easy. Fast forward is easy with two clicks of the button. But trying to press the button three times to rewind in the allocated length of time is incredibly challenging and usually just results in fast forwarding and pausing instead of going back.

    I am also an over the ear hearing aid user as well as glasses, its a little bit of getting use to and positioning, i found one side fitted better but i always find this but after 2 days its no problem. I have never been able to wear headphones but saw this technology a few years ago and have been watching it advance, with this virus going around i didnt want to keep handling my phone also i wanted to have private conversation with people again, well at least people only hearing part of the conversation. The other thing im a wheelchair user and having your phone on display isn’t the most ideal thing.
    I went for the more expensive as it houses the advance tech and very pleased i did they are awesome my Mum has said its the first time she has heard me clear on the phone for a long time and the same with me, also i was forever missing calls because i couldn’t hear the phone ring this has stopped this.
    I have marked the section “for working out” with a top mark as i didnt want it to let the 100% marked low as it didnt deserve it.
    My only thing is it wants some sort of measurement or even 2 or 3 different size made as they feel a little large around the neck area but i couldnt go for a child size as i need the size over the ear to sit on the correct place of the bone to get the best out of them.
    One awesome product.

    Sound quality not great compared to other ‘normal’ earphones but this is, apparently, as good as it gets for bone conduction headphones. Main problem for me is a tinny sound/lack of bass. This is despite experimenting with their position as much as is practical. Given it’s supposed to be an improved model I can only imagine what it was like in earlier models. Even 25 non-ear canal devices sound a lot better to me, and I’m not a ‘bass junkie’.

    Having said all that, they really ARE good for jogging etc. as, as AfterShokz promote, they don’t fall off or out and you can hear what’s around you, even if they are somewhat drowned out by passing traffic. “Better safe than sorry” as they say, and I have some near misses with noise cancelling alternatives. I think my brain normalises the poor sound pretty quickly, actually, and by the middle of a run I’m thinking they do sound better than nothing – “ok’ish” given their benefits.

    Perhaps the earplugs supplied would be better being “leaky” to allow most but not all external noise in?

    So… a keeper for me on balance. Just.

    I purchased this headset as a replacement for my old Trekz Titanium. I loved that headset and my colleagues very quickly got used to the fact they could talk to me still while I was listening to my own music.
    I had to replace it due to wear and tear, as it used to get chucked into my rucksack without any case to protect it.
    Straight out the box these new Aeropex have a fantastic silicone rubber case, which although not rugged, is enough to make you think twice about how you put the headset away.
    Sound quality is better than the Trekz Titanium, a little more bass, or warmth to the sound; that is not to say these are any comparison to standard headphones for tracks with heavy bass sound, but these aren’t designed with the audiophile in mind.
    Personally I have found these are great for listening to quiet Classical music while I’m working, and I’m still able to hold conversations with colleagues; and also take business calls without having to pick up the phone, being able to use the computer whilst talking is a massive bonus.
    Outside of work, these are very comfortable whilst running, and you can still hear everything going on around you.
    I have found you get used to listening to music through these after only a short time; and you can crank up the volume plenty, unlike the old Trekz Titanium, you don’t get as much vibration from higher volume.

    Like the old headset, you can use the multifunction button to voice dial for phone calls, and with an Android device you can use voice commands to select music in Spotify, I’d imagine other such commands work as well, but I’ve only used for Spotify so far.

    To summarise, these are fantastic for listening to music whilst working in an office, round the house or when you’re out and about; but you are still aware of your surroundings and able to hold conversations with people.
    You also have seamless transition from listening to music to making Phone calls.

    I have long wondered about buying these after hearing an American friend of mine’s last year. With lockdown I have taken up cycling again. I do not like to cycle with ‘normal’ earphones in as I think it is wise to be aware of approaching traffic. I decided to take the plunge and buy the Aeropex . With the diminished traffic and the ability to hear these have proved an ideal accompaniment on my rides. They are also much appreciated when doing any time on the turbo trainer where time can appear to standstill! Sound quality is amazing especially with the spoken word if you like podcasts or listening to audiobooks. They are simple to connect to your phone and the audio for calls is much better than the supplied headphones that came with my phone. I wish I had bought them sooner which I always think is a good test for any new product you buy!

    Birthday gift for the girlfriend who listens to podcasts a LOT, it would be fair to say she loves the headphones. She doesn’t like mine because it drowns out all surrounding sound and she wanted to hear if someone called on her, hear a car coming outside or if the dog was out of sight and barking. The sound is clear, at least for the spoken word and she uses it so much it gets a nightly recharge like her phone!
    I thought I’d try it out myself to see if it’s worth a pair for myself but, as an audiophile, I won’t be making that purchase. It’s fine for the spoken word and for classical music but anything with a base is reduced to a tinny version and the whole sound range seem to shift up the scale because the base simply isn’t there. Saying that, we both find them very comfortable to wear, both getting to a point where we forget we were wearing them and, given her very extended use of them, has only complained once that her ears were getting a little tired of wearing them and that was after about four days of use sufficient to drain the batteries (around 6-8 hours a day).

    I bought these to wear whilst cycling, I wanted music and to be able to hear what was happening around me. Unfortunately having your ears open to outside sound does mean that the sound quality is compromised, particularly when moving at speed, so if your a sound purist these probably aren’t for you. If your OK with your music just sounding OK, these are great! They’re lightweight, fit under a cycling helmet and around glasses, easy to pair and easy to operate. So far I’ve only used them for a 90minute ride, they performed well using spotify for music and a cycling app to give updates, both were quite clear. They’re quite expensive, but they seem to be well engineered and manufactured and are comfortable to the point of you forgetting you have them on.

    Oh my word these are by far the best headphones I have used I truly like the fact you can wear them whilst training on foot or riding my road bike without limiting my awareness to my potential risk of surrounding’s.
    They are super comfy look stylish and don’t move on the head whilst running on trails or technical terrain.
    paired with my phone in double-quick time.
    charging is by a USB cable with magnetic docking point so cannot get it wrong. (of which you get two, Bonus!)
    Sound quality is good although some might find it a bit tinny with certain songs as it utilises bone technology, but this was not a problem for me.
    Absolute plus was the protective carry case, and the race belt for carrying your phone, keys and some cash, which had durable materials and a sealed zip.

    I bought these after my Trekz Titanium broke (someone sat on them and they snapped), and I was very pleased at the step up in sound quality from the older model.

    The sense of vibration is also massively reduced compared to the older model, to almost nothing, even on full volume.

    The sound is not massively loud, but loud enough to hear at higher volumes even when cycling or walking in the wind.

    Although not in my mind when I bought them, it turns out that these have been brilliant for working at home during lockdown – they free up my hands for my pc or paperwork while I speak to colleagues or clients, without the weight of a normal set of headphones, and without blocking out the surrounding noises, and the call quality is excellent.

    The loop at the back of the head is perhaps a bit more extended than I would like, and is a little uncomfortable for sitting back in an armchair, but when moving around or sitting at a desk, it’s easy to forget you’re wearing them.

    When my Titaniums broke I thought about just buying that model again as the price on the old model has fallen, but I’m very pleased I splashed out on this model instead.

    Highly recommended.

    Good: First of all I’d say comfort, they really fit well on my rather big head 🙂 also flawless contact when jogging. Great office headphones. Multipoint connection is brilliant I can listen to podcast from phone and use for PC tele-conferencing without reconnecting. Bluetooth headset phone operation for phone is flawless, great microphone noise cancellation too, useful battery check, ability to mute during call is great too, overall pretty good control functions. I am fine with sound quality which is better then I expected for open ear, the reported vibration in high volume is reproducible but not a problem I dont listen so loud anyway, with earplugs you get more conventional experience but the open-ear is the whole point of this headset, so you can interact with environment. Battery seems excellent get me through 12h of fairly frequent use at low volume.

    Minor gripes: in multipoint loosing one of connections (walking away from computer brings in annoying alarm need power off/on to ignore), the beeps on key presses are too loud when wearing with earplugs

    I really like these headphones. I have recently been through 4 differnet types of headphone in this price range, but sent them back.

    I struggle to get the earbud type to stay in one of my ears and find them uncomfy. These ones sit on the outside of your ear and are very stable.

    I have them on while training and walking dogs and listen to audio books. They let other sound in, while I can still hear my book. If I want to block out other sound, they come with some ear plugs.

    The sound quality is not quite as good as some other headphones, and the vibrations are uncomfy at the highest volume, but other than that, no complains.

    I bought these headphones to use at the gym as I seem unable to find any that will stay in place and not fall out of my ears when working out. These stay in place, I think the sound is good but if you’re looking for for a brilliant audio experience, these aren’t for you as they do exactly what they’re made for; allow you to hear music/audio whilst being totally aware of the sounds in your surroundings. They don’t move when leaning down whilst I’m doing yoga but I do find that when I’m on my back, the neckband means that they move forward a little but I can still hear what I need to. I haven’t had them very long so I cannot comment on battery life yet. All in all great sports headphones but for the price, I would have thought the manufacturer would have included a hard case as the soft one will not prevent damage to the rather expensive headphones and they seem to be squashed into it. I have now purchased a hard case from a different manufacturer as I want to ensure my headphones last as long as possible without damage.

    I put the Aeropex on at a stand in a local shop and was blown away! I tried to order via the local shop but they couldnt get them in time for my christmas travel plans. I ordered them form Amazon and they came in 2 days!
    Firstly they packaging really has that wow factor so if its a gift for someone they are going to love just opening them! The Aeropex themselves are fantastic, like nothing ive ever seen or heard before. I have always had problems with getting traditional earphones staying in my ears, especially when doing something active. ive tried them all even the ones that hang on your ear but they still pop out. not an issue with the Aeropex, they are sooo light and stay in place no matter what, some of my colleagues tried to head bag them off but were unsuccessful! I wore them all day and the battery was excellent. The sound quality too was fantastic. as they dont go into the ear canal i gave them to alot of my intrigued colleagues to try and they were blown away! Aftershokz, expect lots of orders from where i live and work lol
    Im delighted with them!

    I purchased this product because I wanted a ‘safe’ pair of headphones to cycle with – allowing in max ambient noise. And I can say that they are awesome in this aspect. I was concerned sound quality may be poor – but was pleasantly surprised that it’s pretty good (mostly EDM-style tunes so far). I listen to at around the 6 or 7 level, at which there is no discernible tingle/buzz. Although go any higher and you will start to feel. I can’t say I have tested the call-receiving functionality so can’t comment on that. They fit really well – no issues combining with sunnies plus cycling helmet (which I was concerned could be a problem). I also now use at gym – so convenient and hassle-free. Whilst not cheap – they have become indispensable and since they seem to be the only such product – I guess they can command their premium price. Plus all the finishes and quality are superb. I would highly recommend – especially if you want for ‘safe’ listening where you need to hear outside noise.

    The headphones are a minor technological miracle.You’ll swear that you are hearing with your ears, but you are just fooling yourself. Now sound quality is good, but don’t expect the perfection of some expensive over-ear headphones, it just can’t work like that, but then these are for when you are running (or playing with your Bicycle if that’s what you are into), so the noise of the world will always outweigh and lack of perfection in the reproduction anyway.
    The fit and comfort level is by far the best of any sports headphones I have ever had, they are extremely light and stay securely on you head regardless of what you are doing (Unless you are Sky Driving perhaps?).
    Sources with a lot of bass, including spoken word audio books can sometimes “tickle” your face where the conductors are, but it is very slight and you just learn to ignore it.
    In summary, these may be a little pricey, but they are well worth the cash if you are a runner of any kind or do one of those other sports that I’ve heard of like caber tossing, three-legged race, egg and spoon racing or sack racing. Maybe even cycling?

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThese are brilliant bone conducting headphones.
    When used with earplugs they also make a good alternative noise cancelling headphones.
    The sound feels like it is in your head rather than coming from through your bones (unlike previous models) and is much more detailed as well. They are best for listing to the TV and voices, but have enough detail to listen to music if you don’t mind a decrease in resolution compared to headphones.
    Battery life is good but would love 12hrs or more. They are light weight and you forget you are wearing them after a while.
    The best bone conducting headphones so afr.
