AFTERSHOKZ Trekz Air Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones Bluetooth Sweat Resistant Earphones with Mic for sports,Canyon Red

I bought these for every day life both walking the dog-long walks and also work and because these where bone conductive earphones work allowed me to wear them as they didn't impare me wearing earplugs.. which only enhanced the sound.I was really enjoying them until one day the titanium just bent and destroyed the Bluetooth connection to any device.. leaving them useless.I really liked these but at over £100 I can't see myself spending the same money just to last 3-4 months of every day use.Disappointed

Having now had these a few weeks I thought I’d leave some real life tested feedback rather than “I’ve just opened the box and worn them in my front room” feedback. I will also state that I purchased these with my own money and have not been sponsored/given them for free or coerced into leaving a feedback - I’m just a picky individual who likes a helpful review when buying new tech and feel it’s only fair to leave feedback for others to see where deserved.Starting with the negatives:One size fits all means if you have a smaller head the band will sit away from the back of your head. I’d have like to have had it sit snug around my head but it’s really not the end of the world and doesn’t really affect their operation.Sound quality versus ‘in-ear’ head phones is not on the same level. Whilst music is definitely listenable, they aren’t going to give you the same level of sound definition; there is a loss of bass and sometimes the finer details are missed (imagine watching a film and not hearing quiet footsteps on a path, whereas with normal headphones you’d hear that).At max volume you do get a weird vibration on your head where the speakers sit, but if you have it at the volume you will probably do yourself a mischief anyway!Positives:They are comfortable when running, very little movement and therefore not a great deal of adjustment needed, resulting in being able to maintain better concentration during exercise.Very good battery life. I’m training at marathon distance so knowing these will last as long as me is important!Build quality is very good; considering how light they are, they appear to be very robust.Connectivity to my phone has not been an issue, I run with my phone in a waist belt and the connection has never dropped.The open ear aspect is what swayed me to take the jump and buy these as many races now won’t allow you to run with headphones in, but will allow bone conducting as long as your ears are open. Having a good sense of your surroundings and being able to chat as you run but still hear music is also a bonus!So in summary, don’t buy these if you want decent sound quality to watch movies/tv or play games on your commute. Do buy these if you want a decent wireless set up for running. I’m keeping my in ear headphones for daily wear but these are now my go-to option for exercise.

I have problem with earphones I get ear irritation o have tried so many different types and I just haven’t been able to get on with any but these are amazing, it was actually a hearing technician recommended them to me and there has been no looking back, I got my husband a pair for Christmas as he loves his music when walking the dog but I found that a little worrying cause if anyone came up from behind him he wouldn’t hear them but with these he enjoys his music but can still hear what’s going on around him and he love them so he’s a happy bunny and I’m happy because I’m not worrying about him when he’s dog walking.

Love these! I have ummed and arred over getting a set of bond conduction headphones for a while; wanting to wear them when our and about in my MTB so I can listen to music and yet hear my surroundings. Mixed reviews over sound quality made me think twice...... one Black Friday deal later and I'm very impressed indeed. Personally I find the sound excellent considering it is using conduction; the sound is great quality, but don't expect Bose/B&O levels. Sound is plenty loud enough and packs enough punch for my liking........ does tickle a little if you have a punchy bass track turned up to 11. Perfect for riding my bike, walking the dog, anything outdoors. In a busy/noisy environment the sound will get drowned out by ambient noise (e.g. busy city streets)..... but that's not why I bought these. If you want a set of headphones for the train/plane, stick to a good set of over-ear phones. I have used these for conference calls whilst working from home and a good (if a little niche) alternative to the usual bulky headsets. Build quality seems too notch so far. Bluetooth range is excellent also, so expect to be able to chuck you phone in a rucksack and still be able to sustain a connection. Having experienced these now, I would certainly not hesitate to pay full price if I was to buy again.

These are a very comfortable pair of headphones. As nothing is actually in your ear, there's nothing to be uncomfortable! There are some notes/sounds that if you have full volume, will make you feel the vibration on your head and that's a little odd, but doesn't happen often and isn't a big problem.Sound quality is not great if you want to listen to music. Unless you put the included earbuds in, you're not going to get much base. For podcasts though, they actually sound really good.You might have a bit of issue if you use them in noisy environments. You can't really complain about that though. You bought these so you can also hear the outside world, if the outside world is loud, you're going to hear it!Battery life seems to be the 6 hours they quote in the listing. The longest I wore them without charging was about 3½ hours and my phone said they were at 40%.I made phone calls with these too, with no problem. The person on the other end said there was a slight echo, but that I was nice and loud.My only negative is the button on the left side. It's positioned on the corner, which means sometimes when you press it moves, so a double press to skip can mean the 'lobe' moves about a bit.Generally very good though and I will be using these when cycling from now on!
