Aftershokz Air Bone Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Slate Grey

Received these late last February and loved using them - until the silicon cover on the right side fell off on its own and got lost last week (barely 5 months of non-sport usage). Don't know where or how to get a replacement silicone cover and really don't want to have to buy another entire headset because of that - otherwise I would have given this one 5 stars. UPDATE: Shockz replaced the product for me - in fact they upgraded me for free to new OpenRun since they had discontinued my model - return process was very smooth and interaction with the company was very professional and constructive. VERY happy with their product/service and will definitely stick around!

These headphones work well, but they are a compromise. When playing music, the sound is ok, not great, but for me it is an easy tradeoff for not having anything stuck in my ears. These are not good for blasting music. If the volume is too high, there can be an uncomfortable buzzing sensation, but this can be avoided by adjusting volume or repositioning. I have been told that the sound quality when I talk on the phone is great – others wouldn't guess I was using headphones. The controls are fairly simple to use, but the button action beeps are quite loud.

On ressens la musique comme si elle était dans l'air, comme si tout le monde en profitait. -Parfait pour le Running et autres sport individuel extérieur, il ne bouge pas et on ne les sens pas, il m'est même arrivé plusieurs fois d'avoir peur de l'avoir oublier quelque part alors que je l'avais sur les oreilles... . J'ai faillie prendre le modèle en dessous mais au final je ne regrette pas mon choix . -Parfait au travail je l'utilise avec mais bouchons d'oreilles et c'est juste le top. A faible volume je suis à l’écoute des gents, de ce qui m'entoure et j'attend très bien la musique . De plus, de cette façon et en faisant attention à bien l'éteindre quand je ne l'utilise pas, le casque atteins facilement les 10h d'autonomie. Une fois mais bouchons retiré je remonte le son de 2 ou 3 barres et c'est repartie.

News flash: One of my ear pieces stopped working (the right one after a verrrry small fall from couch to floor), I will report back on the warrantee process. - The main strength of this product is overlayed/ non-blocking audio. It's like you're listening to a stereo system that only you can hear. It's really awesome for biking, for hanging out, for driving-- I wear it all the time. - They will never fall off and become lost. - Excellent wireless strength to my iPhone- as good as AirPods. - Good microphone quality.. never had someone complain, but doesn't get rid of (e.g.) a vacuum cleaner like AirPods does. - Sound quality you get used to and come to like... It's different than in/over-ear headphones. Bass is a little lacking but you wouldn't want strong bass rattling those particular bones in your ear. It (mostly) bypasses your eardrums, which feel bass most. - I like that if I turn off my bluetooth speaker, my iPhone automatically routes audio to my Trekz. The drawbacks are things that could probably be addressed in a software update (if there were a Trekz update app): Volume: Alert, e.g. "charge me," volume can not be changed-- and the declaration of battery level is really loud-- the maximum volume. If you hit the volume button multiple times it repeats the "battery level" message that number of times. Shouldn't queue the message. You might do this if you forgot you needed to play music to change volume level. This is probably an iPhone issue, but if you turned the volume all the way up for an audio book, then wanted to turn down the volume before playing music, you can't do that. You have to play music before you adjust your audio, blasting your ears (or take off the device ha ha). Battery: "Charge me" blares in your ear, or on your night table, waking you up at night if it decides it's time to be charged. Once it detects low power, the device very often declares its low power state, shouting "charge me"-- multiple times per minute on occasion. It should just say it once per 15 minutes AT MOST. The thing is strapped to my head, after all. The device never turns off automatically- I like that, except it should turn off automatically if it's disconnected or intermittently disconnected (iPhone far away) for a while. Maybe it should also turn off automatically if not playing anything and the battery is low? Honestly, "charge me" makes the device unusable without medium or high battery charge. Pairing: When using multiple device pairing, or when signal is low, yields plentiful "disconnected to reconnected" noises. For instance, if you connect it to your laptop and iPhone, and walk away to another room you'll hear tons of beeps. On top of that, I could not get multiple device pairing to stream audio from both an iPhone and a MacBook, even one at a time. If you walk out of range of your phone to the restroom or something, this thing will beep every few seconds till it’s reconnected... Beeping once is probably all I need unless I hit a button. If it's disconnected and you hit a button it could read "disconnected." Redial last number: There's been precisely one time when redialing the last number has been useful. Otherwise, it's incredibly stressful to have the device redial. It should delay two seconds, and if you hit the main button again-- it should read "cancelled," otherwise I have to rapidly stop my bicycle, pull out my iPhone and double check/ cancel the call. It's embarrassing to call a colleague, ringing zero or one time because my headset misbehaved-- when I'm trying to enjoy a bike ride. Writing this all up is a lot of free work for the company, but I honestly like the product enough that I hope they'd incorporate these improvements just so I can use it.

I've been looking for a good pair of headphones to wear while riding my bike. They needed to fit comfortably on my fairly large head along with my glasses and helmet. They also needed to not block out my hearing of the outside world. My Aftershokz fit the bill perfectly. Compared to other cheap bluetooth headphones I've tried, including a pair of cheap bone conduction headphones that broke after 6 months, they're much more comfortable. The volume buttons are easy to distinguish by feel and control without thinking about. They're also incredibly light. The elephant in the room here is sound quality. I'd say my Airshokz easily sound basically as good as a cheap pair of earbuds that I'd be using otherwise. That's damning a bit by faint praise for a pair of $150 headphones, but it's pretty much a direct result of being able to hear the world around you. I mostly listen to audio books and podcasts, which sound perfectly fine, music is a bit lower fidelity, and it's a lot easier for the outside world to drown out the sound from the headphones. On my bike, that's a trade off that's pretty easy to accept. Honestly, the sound quality is good enough that I've found myself wearing them while doing chores around the house too because they're so much more convenient and comfortable than my big over ear headphones with a long wire that gets caught on everything. So for my particular use, they're absolutely worth the money, but I probably wouldn't shell out this much unless being able to hear the world and/or weight were very high on your priority list.

Soluzione ideale per chi nn sopporta gli auricolari

Très bon produit, de plus par son positionnement devant l’oreille il ne fait pas mal pour les gens qui ont des petits conduit ce qui était le cas auparavant. Il est léger et super pour faire du sport
