Re: New Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headset thoughts

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

I have them as well, but am using them on Android. I also notice the
behavior that you describe with them having to wake up because they
hybernate or something. I think the sound quality sounds a bit better to me
on Android, but I don't know how the mic quality is, except that it seems a
bit quieter to people I talk to. I don't find them to be more
comfortable... they tend to dig into the inside of my ear and give me more
ear fatigue than the older ones. I use mine all day. I also don't think the
battery will last as long because at the end of the day, the battery is at
a lower power level than my air would be. I am not hugely impressed with
these either, although I do like the magnetic charging as long as you don't
lose the two cords they give you.

Thanks.

New Aftershokz Aeropex bone conduction headset thoughts

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

Hello list,

So, as quite a few of us are users of the different Aftershokz bone
conduction headsets, I thought I’d post some of my thoughts with the new
Aeropex headset that they just put out last week. 

This isn’t a thorough review or anything. There are enough of those out
there on CNet or The Verge and similar techy sites for a super detailed
overview. More just my initial observations after having them for a  couple
of days and using them with my iPhone and Voiceover. 

In general, the Aeropex are lighter and thinner than the Trekz Air that they
replace. They’ve also got Bluetooth 5.0. For me and my 7 3/8 round head,
they do feel a bit more comfortable than the Trekz Air, but it’s not like
the Air were uncomfortable to begin with. Just an overall lighter feel to
them I guess you could say.

One of the big selling points along with a smaller footprint and Bluetooth
5.0 with the Aeropex is that there’s less noise bleed and less vibration
through the transducers at louder sound levels. Personally, If I’ve got my
headphones on and blasting, the sound bleed is kind of irrelevant to me.
Yes, there’s less vibration, but I can’t say the Trekz Air vibrating
bothered me.

One main thing I’m noticing is that with the Aeropex and Voiceover with the
iPhone, is that audio has a tinny and muffled sound quality to it. The Trekz
Air to my ears/cheek bones at least have a  richer and deeper base feel to
them. For things like music and videos, the sound quality is fine, but for
me who is on my phone all day for this or that reason and always using VO,
this muffled tinniness stands out. Another thing I’m noticing is that when
dictating something with VO, there seem to be a lot more mistakes. I find
myself having to make way more corrections or erase everything and try again
than with the Trekz Air. There’s also this weird thing with VO where I’m
guessing it may be some sort of battery saving behavior, but for a micro
second, the headset seems to hibernate. This causes VO speech to sometimes
get cut off at the beginning of whatever it was going to say. This
hesitation is minimal, but enough to affect the flow of output speech by VO.
The Trekz Air pare that I have doesn’t do this and is overall very
responsive. I don’t notice any improvement as far as latency with Bluetooth
5.0 on the Aeropex and 4.2 with the Trekz Air either.

In short, I’m going to give it a few more days, but my first impression is
that I’m not really impressed with the Aeropex. Yes, they’re lighter, have a
longer battery and all that, but the audio quality for the iPhone TTS in my
opinion is less than the Trekz Air and the dictation mistakes are too
frequent and substantial to just be a random thing or maybe me mumbling etc.


The Aeropex are $160 and the Trekz Air got bumped down to $120.

Anyway, if anyone else grabbed the Aeropex, I’d like to know what they
think. Maybe I got a bum unit or maybe I just have a finicky ear/cheek bone.

Hi Marie. I've really enjoyed my Trekz Titaniums. They're on my head right now. 
I have hearing aids and they don't interfere with those at all. The battery 
life is said to be 6 hours of playback but I've gotten 8 or 9. I' visiting my 
in laws and love being able to hear what's happening around me in addition to 
my iPHONE. I got them while they were an Kickstarter project but would

 there was an issue where the right side audio got flaky. BTW, these were not

 warranty, they told me to return them and they would replace them. The

 these are the latest model. I don’t know if they have a trade up policy.

 Hi, Andy,
  
 No, I didn't get the ones that have the talking feedback.  I sent for them 
 before I knew there was such a thing and now I'm regretting it because I'd 
 like the talking feature.  Where did you buy those?
  
 The fact that my charger was almost hot rather concerns me and I think I 
 might call AT Giys tomorrow.  I really can't understand that.  I've charged 
 devices using this adaptor for at least two years and never had a problem 
 with it.
  
 Thanks for your feedback and maybe I'll look into the talking ones.  I'd 
 appreciate it if you could tell me where you bought them.  Thanks.

 Hi, Andy and List!
  
 I just received my new AfterShokz Bluez today and, as recommended, I
 charged them.  I used a standard USB charger, which I use for a lot of 
 devices, and, also as recommended, I charged the earphones for three hours, 
 or just a little more.  When I went to unplug the headset, my charger was 
 very warm, which I thought was rather unusual..  The headset works 
 perfectly, however, but I was rather concerned about the warmth of my 
 charger.  It wasn't quite hot, but almost.  Is this normal?
  
 I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.  By the way, I purchased 
 them from AT  Guys and they are very reliable.
  
 Thanks much.

 It is contoured to fit your head, but if it fits too loose, there is a 
 adjustable tension band that clips onto the sides that will give you a 
 tighter fit. I guess i have a wierd shaped head, because I need the band to

 in front of your ears to get the best fidelity, and to better protect 
 against  audio leak, even though you will get some anyway.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

[Laura ann Grymes]

in front of the ears.

its behind the head headset not over the top of your head.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

[Andy Baracco]

It is contoured to fit your head, but if it fits too loose, there is a 
adjustable tension band that clips onto the sides that will give you a tighter 
fit. I guess i have a wierd shaped head, because I need the band to get a good 
fit. You want the transducers to sit tightly against the bones in front of your 
ears to get the best fidelity, and to better protect against audio leak, even 
though you will get some anyway.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Andy and List!

I just received my new AfterShokz Bluez today and, as recommended, I charged 
them.  I used a standard USB charger, which I use for a lot of devices, and, 
also as recommended, I charged the earphones for three hours, or just a little 
more.  When I went to unplug the headset, my charger was very warm, which I 
thought was rather unusual..  The headset works perfectly, however, but I was 
rather concerned about the warmth of my charger.  It wasn't quite hot, but 
almost.  Is this normal?

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.  By the way, I purchased them 
from AT  Guys and they are very reliable.

Thanks much.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

Hi, Andy,

No, I didn't get the ones that have the talking feedback.  I sent for them 
before I knew there was such a thing and now I'm regretting it because I'd like 
the talking feature.  Where did you buy those?

The fact that my charger was almost hot rather concerns me and I think I might 
call AT Giys tomorrow.  I really can't understand that.  I've charged devices 
using this adaptor for at least two years and never had a problem with it.

Thanks for your feedback and maybe I'll look into the talking ones.  I'd 
appreciate it if you could tell me where you bought them.  Thanks.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

[Andy Baracco]

I bought them directly from Aftershokz in late March. Mike May had a special 
where you got 40% off. Actually at that time, there were 3 such specials going 
at almost the same time.  I received them in early April. Recently, there was 
an issue where the right side audio got flaky. BTW, these were not the talking 
ones.  I called Aftershokz and because they were still under warranty, they 
told me to return them and they would replace them. The replacements arrived 
last week, and they had the talking feature. I guess these are the latest 
model. I don’t know if they have a trade up policy.

fit. I guess i have a wierd shaped head, because I need the band to get a good 
fit. You want the transducers to sit tightly against the bones in front of your 
ears to get the best fidelity, and to better protect against audio leak, even 
though you will get some anyway.

Hi Andy,

Though I know the Windows world very well, I'm still somewhat new to all 
this apple IOS stuff. :) While wearing these headphones, can one complete 
various activities that require lots of vigorous movement such as moving 
boxes around, sweeping, pushing and pulling heavy things, or navigating with 
a light jog? I guess I'm asking if they stay in place. What about sweat? 
Will sweat somehow make this headset difficult to stay in place? I don't 
know if this is of any use to anyone else, so if I'm asking something I 
shouldn't, someone please let me know.

I bought them directly from Aftershokz in late March. Mike May had a special 
where you got 40% off. Actually at that time, there were 3 such specials 
going at almost the same time.  I received them in early April. Recently, 
there was an issue where the right side audio got flaky. BTW, these were not 
the talking ones.  I called Aftershokz and because they were still under 
warranty, they told me to return them and they would replace them. The 
replacements arrived last week, and they had the talking feature. I guess 
these are the latest model. I don’t know if they have a trade up policy.

Hi, Andy,

No, I didn't get the ones that have the talking feedback.  I sent for them 
before I knew there was such a thing and now I'm regretting it because I'd 
like the talking feature.  Where did you buy those?

The fact that my charger was almost hot rather concerns me and I think I 
might call AT Giys tomorrow.  I really can't understand that.  I've charged 
devices using this adaptor for at least two years and never had a problem 
with it.

Thanks for your feedback and maybe I'll look into the talking ones.  I'd 
appreciate it if you could tell me where you bought them.  Thanks.

  Hi, Andy and List!

  I just received my new AfterShokz Bluez today and, as recommended, I 
charged them.  I used a standard USB charger, which I use for a lot of 
devices, and, also as recommended, I charged the earphones for three hours, 
or just a little more.  When I went to unplug the headset, my charger was 
very warm, which I thought was rather unusual..  The headset works 
perfectly, however, but I was rather concerned about the warmth of my 
charger.  It wasn't quite hot, but almost.  Is this normal?

  I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.  By the way, I purchased 
them from AT  Guys and they are very reliable.

  Thanks much.

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

They go in front of your ears as others have said.  They aren't round or 
oval like conventional over the ear headphones or ear buds, either.  There's 
at least one member on the Viphone list who wears hearing aids and says she 
can hear music better with the Aftershokz than she has in years because of 
how they work.


I may have had an encounter with the ugly stick, but the whole tree is after 
you!

Re: New Aftershokz Bluez

[Lisa belville]

Andy, thanks for this.  I was thinking some audio output would be awesome. 
I purchased my pair in May and didn't get them in June due to them being on 
backorder.  There's no audio output at all, though it's not hard to 
determine what the series of beeps and tones means, still, the more output 
the better with a product like this.


Lisa

I may have had an encounter with the ugly stick, but the whole tree is after 
you!

Subject: New Aftershokz Bluez


Yesterday I reported that i had to obtain a replacement set of Aftershokz 
Bluez. Well, i guess they must have recently came out with a new model, 
because these include some spoken output. When you first turn them on, a 
female voice says “Power on’. When turning them on for the first time, the 
voice says “Pairing”. When they connect to the iPhone, the voice says 
something like “Audio device connected”. When you turn them off, the voice 
says, at least at present, “Battery high, power off.”. It is to be noted 
that even when fully charged, in the iPhone status line, the phone reports 
“Bluetooth battery 88%”. I think that this is perhaps an issue with the way 
the iPhone reports on the bluetooth battery, and not with the Aftershokz.

I'm not wearing a diaper, so don't try to change me.
