Aftershokz Air Bone Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Midnight Blue

Amazing set of headphones that can comfortably be worn all day. They have really good sound quality, are very light and durable, and can be worn with glasses without fear of them slipping.Pros:PROS:-Light and comfortable. They sit well on your head, right enough to be secure but they don't pinch. It's very easy to wear them and forget about them. Using traditional earbuds, I would always find myself aching to remove them after about 45 minutes.-Great sound quality without muffling your surroundings. With these, you can hear everything around you without it being muffled. It's just like listening to something on traditional speakers, but only you can hear them. They are quiet for those around you unless you turn the volume up really loud. Also, I would like to provide a clarification to a negative review. It was pointed out that the frequency response was 2400-2483.5MHz, which is not true. That is the frequency spectrum of Bluetooth (2.4GHz). The frequency spectrum of the AfterShokz Trekz Air is 20Hz-20KHz, which is the typical audible frequency band of an adolescent human. This is clearly listed on the User's Manual.-Durable. The Trekz Air are sturdily made, and ideal for exercising with. They are able to withstand the grueling Florida sun while running with no problem. Give them a quick wipe and they are ready to go again, certainly well before I am.-Clear sound when used for phone calls. The speakers and microphone are clear and work well for phone calls using a normal conversational level.-Good range. I'm able to charge my phone anywhere in my house and walk to the other end without a problem of audio dropping.CONS:-Expensive. At $120, they are still fairly expensive headphones. That's not to say they aren't worth it, but it is still a bit of an investment.-Chewing may muffle sound. If you typically chew gum, etc. vigorously while jamming out, you may not want these. That's not to say any mouth movement affects the sound, but large jaw movements can cause the sound to muffle as it is no longer in contact with skin/bone.-Not audiophile-level sound quality. If you are looking for the highest quality sound, these are not for you. The sound is very good, but not the best.In summary, I'd highly recommend the AfterShokz Trekz Air for anyone active or that needs to be aware of your surroundings while still having music or your phone handy. My wife has had these for 5 months while running and loves them, which was a major factor in my decision to purchase them as well. After spending the last 3 months with standard wired earbuds with only one side in so I could still hear someone speaking to me and it being ripped out of my ear anytime something snagged the wire I called it quits. The Trekz have been life-changing for me, and I'll never go back.

I own a pair of iPods, and while I like them they do not have the battery life I need. I am a distance runner, and a slow one at that. So I do occasionally have training runs that get up to around 4 hours. So I got on Amazon to look for some bluetooth earbuds that could stand up to rain and sweat with a longer battery life. Most of the ones I looked at had only average ratings. I also checked reviews thru a general internet search to see what they had to say. That's when I came across the AfterShokz. I was drawn in by the technology that still allowed me to hear ambient noise around me. I think this is very important for any runner and is one of the disadvantages of normal earbuds. The Amazon reviews were also good.When first using these I had to get used to them. Depending on the volume there can be some vibration which makes it feel like they are falling off. They have hooks that go over the ears, so no worries there, but it does take a little getting used to. Eventually you won't even notice it.The sound comes thru like you are wearing normal earbuds. They work great. The sound is like a normal pair of earbuds, i.e., just average. If you are looking for a living room surround sound experience, these aren't going to give it to. But then again, I'm running. I don't need or want that. The sound is perfectly adequate for what I want. The volume doesn't go super high, but high enough when I'm out on the road. The point is to able to listen to music while also being aware of your surroundings. Being able to hear ambient noise doesn't really interfere with the sound. The AfterShokz definitely provide a level of safety over any in-ear listening device. This feature will also come in handy when running in a crowded race.I wear sunglasses (bifocal transition lenses) even when it's dark or cloudy. That's because I need the bifocals to be able to read my GPS watch. Sunglasses fit easily and comfortably over the ear hooks of the headphones. So, from a comfort, safety and sound standpoint these are great. They also stand up nicely to sweat and rain.The only potential problem with them is battery life. They are supposed to last for up to 6 hours and perhaps they do when being used for a single event. The longest run I have used them for is 3:50 and there was no problem. However, I did not charge them overnight following that run and they were dead the next day. So while they held up for the run they did not hold any remaining charge overnight. So now I charge them every night when I have a run the next day. I'm running a marathon in November and, as I said, I'm slow, so I expect to be out on the course for close to 5 hours. We'll see if they make it. I hope so because I do love these headphones.So right now I am giving it 5 stars. I will update this review after my race and let you know how the battery performed. On balance, best headphones I have ever used for running.UPDATE JUNE 2019I've now used these for about 10 months and have been very happy. I ran a marathon in 4:49 and the battery held up the entire time. These are clearly the best bluetooth headphones for runners.In June of this year they stopped working. I contacted AfterShokz and filled in a short form and emailed it along with my Amazon receipt. The next day they approved the refund and sent a brand new pair of the Trekz Air. Excellent service and excellent guarantee. Just one more reason why these are the best headphones for runners.

Suenan bien, son cómodos y discretos sin molestar al oído. Buena compra y llevan sus meses funcionando al 100% se recargan rápido y dura la batería un tiempo acorde a lo esperado.

Does the job perfectly for a marathon runner like me. The battery lasts for the entire race and some.Medium volume is perfect for running on the street -- you can talk to the other runners while keeping your strides at a good 180 strides/min. Pleasant and not distracting.It's very flexible, fits under a sweatband under a bicycle helmet.Also so light you ACTUALLY DO NOT NOTICE you have them on, whatever you use them for.

I love these headphones! I do a lot of hiking and gym workouts, so I want headphones that stay put and don't irritate me when moving about. I've tried all sorts and these are by far the best overall solution. Once on, you almost forget they're there. They are so comfortable. I hate the ear-bud style because they create a horrible banging sound in my head when I'm walking or running, and they inevitably create unwelcome heat and pressure in the ear canal.The bone conduction technology is superb because it lets you listen to your stuff while still being able to hear normal ambient sounds. It might seem an odd idea, but I was surprised how effective it was. Yes, you do struggle to hear your sounds when next to a main road, but for most other times, it's perfectly fine. These headphones will not block out other sounds, so don't get them if that's important to you. But they're not designed for that purpose anyway. They provide a great compromise to those wanting good sound with great comfort while still being able to hear enough ambient sounds (great for running outdoors as you can still hear cars, etc).The build quality is excellent. I've had these over a year and they're as good as new, and I've used them almost every day outdoors or in the gym.The battery is rated for 6 hours. I've never had to test that but I'm often out walking for 2-3 hours and have never run out of battery. If you're bothered, take a small power bank with you.

Las opiniones que vierto a continuación parten de que dispongo de distintos tipos de auriculares tradicionales, con distintos tamaños y formas de adaptación al oído, prefiriendo hasta la fecha los que son pequeños y nada "intrusivos" porque los grandes me molestan con las gafas que uso y los "intrusivos" me molestan el oído y me provocan ruidos molestos cuanto hago cualquier movimiento. En relación concreta con los AFTERSHOKZ TREKZ AIR que acabo de adquirir, cito a continuación los pros y contras.A FAVOR: Con volumen bajo la calidad del sonido (musica) es muy similar a la de unos buenos auriculares tradicionales (incorporados al oído), volumen que, como es lógico, solo puede utilizarse en entornos sin ruido y en entornos con ruido pero con los tapones para el oído que incorpora el producto puestos. Son muy cómodos, no pesan nada y pueden usarse perfectamente con gafas. La funda es bonita y cómoda. Son muy fáciles de enlazar con cualquier dispositivo bluetooth. Son muy fáciles de usar. El servicio técnico es excelente. La primera vez que los enlacé no sonaba bien uno de los auriculares. Pensé que el auricular era defectuoso e inicié el proceso de devolución, durante el cual inicié un chat con el servicio técnico que me resolvió el problema: el origen de la mala audición era un enlace incorrecto con el dispositivo bluetooth. Finalmente, lo más importante es que, creo, no dañan el oído o lo dañan mucho menos que los auriculares tradicionales, salvo mejor opinión de un experto en esta materia.EN CONTRA: Los avisos para conexión, desconexión, enlace, etc. suenan con demasiado volumen y resultan molestos. Sería deseable que el volumen de estos avisos pudiera ajustarse. No he conseguido un enlace correcto con la salida bluetooth de mi ordenador IMac de 21,5 pulgadas de finales de 2013 con MacOS Sierra, de modo que no puedo usarlos para escuchar sonido o música del ordenador. El precio me parece un poco elevado y aún más el del último modelo (los AFTERSHOKZ AEROPEX) que, al parecer, solo incorpora como diferencia con este una mayor duración de la batería, diferencia que no justificaría el incremento del precio, lo que ha motivado que no pidiera los Aeropex.

Un casque parfait pour la pretique du sport, le son est très bon et on ne se sent pas coupé du monde, c'est un vrai plus en matière de sécurité (on peut entendre les vélos et les voiture arriver), mais aussi en terme d'ambiance pour pouvoir entendre autour de soi pendant une course en compétition ou juste profiter des bruits de la nature...Vendu avec une paire de bouchons d'oreille, ce casque permet aussi une excellente écoute dans les lieux bruyants (avion, train), les oreilles ainsi bouchées tous les sons ambiants disparaissent et l'on entend plus alors que le son de la conduction osseuse, un vrai bonheur !S'ajoute à cela un excellent service après vente, mon casque a rencontré un souci après six mois d'utilisation et le problème a été réglé en a peine 4 jours !Bref, je recommande vivement !
