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

I have had AfterShox since they came out, they have been stellar. Granted, they are not at all the sound quality is my Shure brand inear monitor style set, but, for running around, riding bikes, and often using them on the phone they have been great. So, I decide to upgrade from my other set(s) to the Aeropex - disaster. The sound IMO might be better than the lower cost set (that I also purchased on Amazon) but not even close to my Shure (as expected). But, the two-way mode while on my phone was by far terrible compared to my prior sets of Aftershox. Simply unusable...put my old set back on, phone calls are spot on. So, no reason to waste $160 or what ever they are do downgrade after paying more for what I did not need to begin with. Plus, I like the USB charger of the old one as I have that cord in my cars, office, home office and it is easy to get - as opposed to a specific charger that I sure as heck will loose in no time.

In short, they dont budge, let you stay aware of surroundings and battery life is excellent! If youre looking for high end sound quality go buy some bose or something. These serve their purpose for what they are made for. These are great for working in a place where forklifts are are constantly zooming about. And bridge saws are being turn on and off. I use them from 8-4 and even during lunch, to my surprise without having to recharge them. They are very lightweight. Certain times of day I wear a hat, mask, and glasses along with the headphones and the combination will make the bone behind my ear ache. They stay put really well and the only time I have to adjust them is when Im painting frames and having to inspect over, under, around and all sorts of different angles for long periods of time. Base is a little non existent but thats alright, Im no audiophile. Sound quality is not fuzzy but sound isnt delivered the same way traditional earphones do so dont expect the highest quality music from these. Sound is improved when using earbuds and I regularly swap between no buds and earbuds depending on tasks.

Worth every penny. Can’t find anything wrong with them. Very comfortable and sound is excellent

My wife and I are pretty active and do a lot of outdoor cycling, running, walking, etc. The bone conduction technology is a definite safety factor since it allows you to hear environmental noises. I havent tested the noise cancellation aspect, but I would think earplugs would be as effective with or without the headphones. The sound of these is excellent especially since these are bone conductive. OTE headphones would probably have better sound for audiophiles, but the sound on the Audioshokz is very good. I have used / tested some cheaper bone conduction headphones and their sound was not nearly as good as these Aeropex. These sound as good as athletic ear buds that I have used. The comfort and size are a big plus. I will forget that I have them on since they arent in my ear. They pair well with my Android phone for music and phone calls. I havent had any complaints regarding the mic when used for a phone call. One of the biggest features for me (besides the comfort and sound quality) is the water proof rating. I sweat heavily when exercising and have ruined other sport water resistant earbuds as a result. Many times the speaker or the charging port is the weak link in allowing water access. The magnetic charging used for these is great, no charging ports or port covers to deal with and the speaker drivers are sealed. I have used my pair about a year? without any issue. I am completely satisfied with these headphones and impressed with the build quality, comfort and sound. I would recommend these to anyone!

It stopped charging and working after 1 months 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.

Excellent comfort and fit. Best sound quality. I feel safer because I can hear my surroundings while running. Very good battery time and easy to charge.

Great sound, durable & waterproof. Had an issue and customer service was amazing. Utilized warranty and had my replacement headphones in several weeks! Awesome

Awesome product, no regrets at all. I price is kind of high but they are worth every penny spent on them

What do you do when you misplace this headphones? Since I like them so much, I bought a second set. It has no noise cancellation, but that is their advantage. You can wear them biking, walking, shopping, and not be unsafe or unattentive to the world around you.
