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

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.

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 haven't 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 aren't in my ear. They pair well with my Android phone for music and phone calls. I haven't 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!

Update Nov 10, 2023 My Aeropex died yesterday. They lasted from Feb 14, 2021 to Nov 9, 2023. That's about 2 years and 9 months, which is 9 months longer than the two-year warranty. Update Oct 28, 2023 My Aeropex are still going strong. I also have Apple AirPods Pros, but the Aeropex still have their place. I now use the Aeropex with my iPhone and MacBook, and it integrates well. The Aeropex will last me all day, 16 hours or more. The AirPods last 6 hours before needing to be recharged. When I want noise cancellation and good music sound, I use the AirPods. When I listen to streaming audio or make phone calls, I use the Aeropex. I also use the Aeropex when I'm doing yard work and want earphones that won't fall out, like the AirPods sometimes do. Update May 14, 2021 I've had these headphones since February 14. I use them while exercising and sweating heavily, and they're very sweat resistant, unlike the AfterShokz Air. They're great! They're also perfect for the office and home office. They pair seamlessly with both my smartphone and Windows laptop. They have long battery life, lasting all day, and they charge quickly. February 14, 2021 I just bought AfterShokz Aeropex bone conduction headphones from Amazon and tried them out today. I'm really impressed. They're lightweight and the best-sounding bone conduction headphones I've had. Bone conduction headphones aren't for everyone, but I love them because the "ear pieces" fit right in front of the ear on the cheekbone, keeping the ear opening free and allowing me to hear my environment. They don't sound as good as conventional headphones, especially for music, but they're great for podcasts and phone conversations. And a huge bonus: The Aeropex Bluetooth connects to two devices. So I have my Aeropex connected to both my cell phone and my laptop. It's great for Zoom/Teams conferences on my laptop, phone calls on my cell phone, and cell phone podcasts, without having to disconnect and reconnect my Bluetooth. Previously, I had AfterShokz "Air" bone conduction headphones and really liked them, but they died from sweat from my workouts. I even replaced them (under warranty) twice, but sweat was a killer. The Aeropex is rated better for water resistance (and sounds better). AfterShokz Aeropex is a little pricey, but it comes with a two-year warranty. During that two-year period, I'll be testing the "sweat-proof" features of it.

Ich habe mit dem Aeropex von Aftershokz angefangen. Wieso angefangen? Weil einer für mich Schnecke nicht genug Laufzeit hat für einen langen Trail und dann ein zweiter her musste. Mittlerweile ist nun der Dritte eingezogen, Mini! Mittlerweile heißt die Firma auch nur noch Shockz, kürzer ist manchmal besser ;) Weil was hat mich immer genervt? Das der Rahnen zu groß ist und jetzt endlich gibt es ihn gekürzt und der sitzt endlich perfekt. Der Knochenschallkopfhörer ist top, guter Sound und trotzdem kriegt man noch die Umgebungsgeräusche mit! Und für mich persönlich, endlich weniger Allergie Probleme, ich vertrage das Silikon nicht und die InEar Kopfhörer haben immer dazu geführt das der Eingang vom Gehörgang nonstop entzündet war und jetzt habe ich da Ruhe, aber natürlich immer noch bissel Malheur wo der Knochenschallkopfhörer aufliegt, aber lieber außen am Ohr, als im Ohr!

Muy bueno, cómodo y el sonido perfecto

Great when out running, working out at the gym or when travelling. Secure, good sound, yet one can still hear what's going on around, so useful when out running, as can hear traffic etc.

I only received this year phone a couple of weeks ago, so far so good. BUT the delay in postage was way too long. It took more than 8 weeks to deliver!

Extremely light and can be worn for long hours. Sound is not that good but for bone conduction/open ear the sound is good. Best for audiobooks. At higher volumes slight vibrations are felt which tickles sometimes.
