> 3 dayI absolutely love these. They comfortable, easy to wear when sleeping, and have good battery life. My wife has adopted them since I found I cannot use them. My only guess is due to dental surgery a few years ago I get this weird feeling in my jaw after about an hour of use, then the vertigo sets in. So, ymmv, but I sadly cannot use this wonderful product. This also does not cancel noise, so if you need to hear they are perfect. If you need noise cancelation, pop in the ear plugs and you are good to go.

> 3 dayI’ve owned about 4 pairs of AfterShokz, the previous pairs are bulkier and broke quite often. These seem to be higher quality and sound better. They changed the charging port to some sort of magnetic unique interface so that made things less convenient to charge it

> 3 dayIve been using these pretty consistently for a couple of days now. I havent had to charge them yet, which may be partially due to the fact that I listen at a lower volume, which uses less energy. So far the fit is great. They dont hurt my head or ears when I wear them for an extended time. While the fit is such that i cant lie down without, I can wear the headband under my chin & lie down that way, which is really nice! (See image) My only real reservation is that the signal beeps are WAY TOO LOUD, especially if youre wearing earplugs with these headphones. The volume of the beep doesnt change as the overall volume for the headphones changes... which means that if I use the volume buttons to turn down the volume and get used to the low volume of whatever Im listening to, the loud beeps every time I press a button actually hurt my ears. With the result that if Im wearing earplugs with these, I have to move the headphones out of place every time I want to just change the volume so that the beep doesnt kill me. I like pretty much everything else about these headphones, but this con is definitely a big one for me. Why in the world did they make the beep so friggin loud?

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI 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.
