AfterShokz Aeropex - Open-Ear Bluetooth Bone Conduction Sport Headphones - Sweat Resistant Wireless Earphones for Workouts and Running - Built-in Mic
- Far and away, these are the best headphones I have ever owned. I work out a lot, and I had a problem. My headphones would invariably get sweaty, corrode, and break within a few months of usage. Furthermore, by the time I was done with a workout, my ears would be hot and bothered by the sweaty headphones covering my ears. And, my ears cannot accept earbuds, they keep dropping out. And, sometimes when running outside I wanted to be aware of outside noise for safety purposes. These headphones provide the perfect solution to all of my problems. They are incredibly water-resistant. They don\'t cover my ears and leave them sweaty. The sound is very clear. And when I want to run outside, they don\'t impede environmental noise. Their only tradeoff, and I consider it minor, is I have to wear earplugs when I use them in the gym. Because they don\'t block environmental noise you have to wear earplugs if you are in a noisy environment.I would also add that the bluetooth connection works perfectly, which is another issue I\'ve had with other headphones. With these headphones, I have NEVER had an issue with connectivity. When I turn them on, they connect almost instantly, and they never drop.
- I don’t write many reviews, but this product exceeded all expectations. I use these headphones for several hours every day, in all types of environments. I use them when I’m driving. I use them when I’m biking. I use them playing golf. I use them around the house. They are so comfortable and natural, it’s like music is following you everywhere you go, but without blocking out the sounds of the world around you. They are really extraordinary.Let me go into a bit more detail. I have several other wireless headphones... AirPods Pro, PowerBeats Pro, and Bose QC30. The sound quality on all of them is fabulous. They all have their pros & cons when it comes to design. The AirPods are convenient to stick in your pocket. The PowerBeats are great for working out. The Bose are great for airplanes. The biggest drawback of all of them is that they are ear buds, and even with the noise canceling disabled, they block out too much ambient sound for some activities. For example, I’d never use both buds when driving or biking as it was too dangerous. If you wear ear buds around other people, you can’t have a normal conversation without constantly removing them. In addition, if you leave the ear buds in for long periods of time, you’re likely to irritate your ear canal. With the AfterShokz none of this is a problem.I can’t speak to the other AfterShokz models, but the Aeropex are so light and secure that they aren’t even noticeable... you forget you have them on. Because they don’t go into your ear, but around and in front of it, you can hear everything around you as if you didn’t have headphones on and you can wear them for hours and hours. They are very thin, so no problem wearing them with glasses, a hat, and even a mask.The sound quality is not as good as the ear buds, but it is very good at low & medium volume levels. The only negative I’ve experienced (and it’s not really a negative) in a week of wearing them is that at high volume levels they can vibrate a bit (especially if you’re listening to something with heavy bass), which is annoying, but it’s also a sign that the volume is probably too loud anyway. Just notch the volume down one or two clicks and it’s perfect.I haven’t stretched the battery to it’s limit, but yesterday I used them for 7 hours with no problem... 2 hours driving and 5 hours on the golf course. On the golf course, you can have music playing all day and no one around you has any clue... they can’t hear it and you’re able to have normal conversations with them. It’s really liberating for someone that like to have music playing in the background all the time. And as a side benefit, the music really helps with my swing tempo!One tiny issue... the USB charging cable is unique for these headphones (not a microUSB or Apple connector). It’s magnetic, which makes attaching it to the headphones very easy. The headphones come with 2 of these special cables, but they are short. And the big problem... if you are caught without one, you won’t be able to recharge unless you find someone with an AfterShokz cable.I can’t recommend these headphones highly enough. Although there are other headphones with better sound quality, these are good enough and you’ll find yourself ditching the others and using these constantly.
- \"Bone conducting\" sounds very exotic but it\'s a little more usual than you might think. To get an idea: Grab a pair of decent on-ear headphones, place them on your temples so your ears are uncovered, and turn up the volume a bit. This is pretty much what Aftershokz sound and feels like. It makes you realize there is a bone conducting component to regular headphones. Similarly, there is still an aural component to these - if you have them sitting on a desk or hanging up, you can still hear them audibly over the air.For the price you\'re paying, you\'re getting a new usage experience rather than sound quality. Here are some examples:* Actual wet performance. Lots of headphones now have some kind of IPxx rating. While they aren\'t damaged by water, that doesn\'t mean they *work* when wet. These do. You can listen to audio while dunking your head under the shower. Maybe that\'s not something you\'re going to do, but it means rain and sweat won\'t drown it out. That\'s something I\'ve had happen plenty.* Isolation when you want it. ANC and a good seal are fine but they don\'t beat wearing actual earplugs IMO. I can put in some earplugs and still listen to a podcast while vacuuming my car or something - and I don\'t have to crank the volume. I think that\'s impressive. Still, some people can\'t do earplugs - OK, ANC is better for you.* Awareness when you want it. Things that need your attention can get it. That doesn\'t mean you can understand everything you hear. The effect is like having two people talk directly to you at the same time - hard to understand even one of them, and usually the loudest speaker wins. But you\'re aware at least.Those differences were pros in my opinion. Other pros: Long battery life, great power connector. Pretty good fit (for me - wife disagrees) as the device is small and stays firmly on my head. Also a pretty good mic set up - nobody has complained when I\'ve used these, unlike my other wireless headphones. Still, for best quality, wired is still the way to go.Cons are not insignificant:* Less audio quality for the money, to be sure. If you want audiophile equipment, move along. These can\'t provide it. If you just listen to podcasts and place phone calls, I think it\'s A-OK. Also pretty good for providing \"background music\" while working. Admittedly, though I\'m not a \"music person\", this is a little hard to get past.* Personally I hate the controls. On/off, volume, and pause are fine. Beyond that, I\'m struggling. My cheap plantronics phones are better here.* Bluetooth connectivity. I know Bluetooth isn\'t perfect and Windows 10 BT experience in particular leaves much to be desired. But comparing these to a cheap pair of plantronics phones, I expected more. The cheap pair connects faster, switches devices significantly quicker and both without as much manual intervention. This is personally my greatest point of dissatisfaction, as the Aeropex are five times the price. I really hope this thing can receive firmware updates to improve connection behavior.I gave these a try for 6 weeks and have decided to keep them, despite my reservations. It came down to the fact that, even with the shortcomings, I get a LOT of use out of them. Enough that I don\'t feel like rolling the dice on another product for now.
