AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones Bluetooth Sweatproof Earphones with Mic for Sports, Black

These are my first pair of bone conduction headphones. So far I have only been wearing them around the house. I will be taking them out on my bike tomorrow to see how they perform. The sound quality is very good considering they do not fit into your ears. I am sure that more expensive in the ear headphones will have better base and more clarity, but the point of these headphones is to be able to still hear what is going on around you. The website says the following; The only official headphones chosen by England Athletics. Nothing in/on/over your ears. Our OPEN EAR DESIGN makes it safer for running, cycling and driving. The headphones come with a protective bag and a micro usb charge cable. I don't know at present how long a charge will last but I am sure these will be tested by myself on my bike and my wife who runs. The overall build quality feels good and so far I am very pleased.

Started looking into bone conduction after struggling with ear infections for ages, doctor said having my ears covered most of the day with a headset was a likely factor. This is highly unscientific, but my ear infections did become less frequent after using this. This was the second bone conduction set I tried, the first one was low quality, too flimsy and didn't "grab" my temples hard enough which hurt sound quality, and ultimately ended up snapping in the middle from regular usage. This one does the job marvellously and is built to last (I did snap my first pair but that was my fault, sat on it). Yes, with bone conduction the sound quality suffers, mainly the bass, so if you're pedantic about that be aware it will be a trade-off. For me, it's a worthy one. It also takes a while to get used to them, at first the vibrations around my temples felt strange and gave me very slight vertigo (which might have been from the ear infection, so take with a grain of salt), but after a few days I got totally used to it. I now own 2 pairs of these, and couldn't be more satisfied. Other than the weak bass, the only negatives on this one are that it sometimes can be a faff to keep synced with devices (most likely just Bluetooth being Bluetooth) and that you can't use it while charging. Tried their wired version but it was quite bad - for some god forsaken reason they decided to add a USB powered battery AND an audio jack instead of no-battery USB, which beats their main advantage of addressing the charging issue. At the very least you can use the wired version while charging (mess of cables notwithstanding), which is good because the one I got came with a battery that doesn't hold charge.

comfortable enough once you get used to them, a godsend when I'm wearing layers and active because no wires to get tangled in things, good sound quality and handy buttons. Battery lasts long enough for heavy use. Only 2 issues: mic volume is low so people struggle to hear me on calls, and the wire/loop is so big it gets caught or disturbed or moved by collars, scarves or cyclist masks - anything that sits at the back of the neck is going to nudge it or knock it, so it's always a matter of adjusting them/my clothing to accommodate. Minor hassle really tbh, and doesn't detract from the amount I'll use them because the convenience of not getting caught on doorhandles or clothes etc with a wire is far greater than the minor annoyance of positioning relative to other stuff on my neck.

Great for bike riding and exercising, love the reassurance that the headphones won’t fall off and you can still hear what’s going on around you whilst also enjoying the music. I have felt much safer on the roads. I have also used them to take calls from my mobile phone and the voice and noise clarity is great. Definitely worth spending that little bit extra, we love these and have purchased them three times for gifts for family and friends.

Use these to work with as I have tinnitus, taking and making calls for 7.5hrs a day - currently only need to charge them twice a week for this purpose, so battery a lot longer than I expected. Listening to music must use more power. People can hear my voice just fine, in fact better than another pair of bluetooth headphones I have. Doesn't affect my tinnitus, as other over the ear headphones do.

My daughter showed me a pair she had bought. I must admit I was a bit unsure what sort of sound you would get but after trying them I was amazed. Went out and bought two pairs one for me and one for my wife. No more earphones falling out or hurting my ears. These phone are just the business great sound quality, easy to use and very comfortable to wear. All I can say is throw out your old earphones, ipods or cams and go and get a pair

O custo benefício compensa. Eu tinha um aftershokz de 2mil (marca famosa) e esse é muito próximo em tudo. Muito feliz com a compra.

J'ai acheté cet article car je suis utilisatrice d'une gyroroue, et avec mes amis nous souhaitions rester en contact audio pendant les balades. Je suis tombée sur ce casque un peu par hasard. L'idée de la conduction osseuse m'a plu tout de suite, car en extérieur on a tendance à monter le son, ce qui peut être délétère pour les tympans. De plus les intra auriculaires sont interdits. Le casque est très confortable, le son très très honorable. Certes ce n'est pas du Bose, mais il me permet d'entendre mon environnement quand je roule malgré la musique et de parler avec mes amis. L'expérience est unique quand vous vous bouchez les oreilles. La musique semble provenir d'un HP à l'intérieur de notre crâne. Je conseille ce casque à tous les cyclistes et utilisateurs d'EDPM.

Sono sordo dall'orecchio sinistro praticamente da quando avevo quattro anni; ho acquistato queste cuffie su consiglio di un collega, per potere aggirare il problema tramite la conduzione ossea, ma ero scettico sul possibile funzionamento dato che non ero certo su dove esattamente fosse il mio danno a livello di apparato uditivo. Le ho provate e... funzionano. Funzionano davvero. Dopo una vita sono riuscito di nuovo a sentire da quell'orecchio ed è stata una sorpresa incredibile. La qualità del suono è eccellente e, contrariamente a quanto si può pensare, si possono indossare anche con gli occhiali da vista/sole. Decisamente soddisfatto.

Great sound and mic does not hurt the ear ideal for continuous use

I have been using these headphones for about 9 months. They immediately solved a unique need: I wanted to be able to run/walk while listening to my music/podcasts/audiobooks/etc. and not let others around me hear what I'm listening to, as well as allowing me to simultaneously hear my surroundings. I had them synced to my phone and ready for use immediately (they did come with a charged battery). I also registered my warranty on day 1, and I'm glad I did, as the original unit that was sent to me broke within 3 months after purchase. The battery failed to hold a charge or power on, despite using different attempts at recovery. This happened just outside of the Amazon return window, but Aftershokz provided an easy way to file an RMA through their site, and they sent me a replacement unit totally free of charge with 2-day shipping. One note here, the original unit was the "Black" color, and the replacement was the "Ocean Blue" color; not an issue for me, but your experience may vary. The replacement unit has had flawless performance for over 6 months with regular (1-2 avg. hrs./day, sometimes 3-4+) use. Great product support by Aftershokz there. These headphones are a real game-changer, especially if you run/walk down busy roads/residential areas. You're able to hear both the outside world without any disruption, as well as clear audio as if they are in-ear headphones. The sound quality is decent, and you can turn them up pretty loud at the highest settings. The bass in certain songs can be quite comical, as they will bounce on your temples pretty wildly if you have them cranked. In very loud environments, such as near construction zones or within 10ish feet of a lawnmower, the audio does get drowned out. I mainly use these for running with music in the background, or walking the dog listening to a podcast, so the audio issues I mentioned are pretty minor for my uses. I do find that listening to music on these for prolonged periods of time (2+ hours) at more than half volume without a break can give some headpain and minor headaches. Talking/podcasts/narration doesn't seem to have the same effect, at least in my experience. The mic is surprisingly decent for answering calls on the go - most people can't tell I'm talking on a headset. Battery life is also great, and I only charge these once or twice a week. The features offered plus great product support totally justify the price for my money. These have become a daily driver and a favorite of mine; they fill a unique gap created by all of the noise-canceling and over-the-ears headsets and the awkward/misshapen/don't stay in your ears earpods-style devices, and let you hear traffic/people/etc. at the same time. Also a cool "Whoa" moment when inevitably, someone asks "What are those?" and you blow their mind when you tell them how they work.
