Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
I have the bluetooth model and find them useful. In my opinion, they are not best suited for listening to music very often but do well for speach, for example your phone, sat nav, the odd phone cal, sport etc. On 18 Nov 2013, at 19:56, Mike wrote: > They are pretty good headphones but definitely not for everything. > Like we’ve heard the rigidness can cause a few issues.

Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
They are pretty good headphones but definitely not for everything. Like we’ve heard the rigidness can cause a few issues. I like to listen to music or a book or something in bed at night and these make that near impossible, or at least quite uncomfortable. If you’re going to be up and about then they will probably be just fine. I think I got a dud set though because only about a month after I got them they just stopped working. I can hear them power on when I flip the switch but I just get a strange clicking sound when I try to play anything through them. I liked them until they broke on me though. I used them a lot while running.

Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
Phone processor seems to make a difference on the BT connectivity issue. On the 5S I have no problems. On the 4S I definitely do. They're not the best for music and probably won't be with the kind of technology, but they're more than adequate and they're great for gPs. If you have a slower phone, use the standard ones,the cord is really long and you still have lots of flexibility.

Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
I have heard that some batches of the bluetooth models had connectivity and microphone issues, so Annie may have gotten a lemon. Annie, I'm not minimizing your experience at all, and I strongly suggest you investigate a replacement or refund. I only mention this to point out that there are known problems with some of the line, but others work perfectly. Bluetooth connectivity problems are not, to my knowledge, an across-the-board issue. I very much wish I could add my personal experience to this discussion, but until I can come up with $100 i don't need, I'm Aftershokz-less.

Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
Hi, Chris, I also have a pair of the AfterShokz headphones, the Bluetooth Model, and I like them very much. They have a crispness to their sound, especially with music, but I think the bass quality needs to be improved. I have other Bluetooth headsets that have better quality as far as music is concerned. I find the AfterShokz useful, especially at the gym, where I can talk with people easier because of the bone conduction feature, not wearing the earpieces directly on your ears. Just my opinion.

Re: Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
Hi, about the after shokz headphones. The only thing I didn't like is that they are ridgid and too large for my head so when I ware a coat the part that went behinde my head would bump up against my coat and/or jacket collar and then in tern bump the ear pieces forward. That part was a bit aquord. Also again due to the ridgidness they got broken in my backpack. Yeah, that was my fault because I didn't put them in their case in my backpack, but still part of the reality of having a set of ridgid headphones.. The sound quality is excellent and I really like the controls. The button to start and stop music is on the right side and the button to answer and hang up calls is on the left side, so they are very easy to opporate. I ended up switching to an over the ear, one side bluetooth headphone. I also have a problem with those because of waring hering aids and dark glasses and ear rings. It ends up being a lot of what I call ear gear. So the over the ear headset has to sit on top of my hearing aid and doesn't fit very well. If I had large ears it would probably work better but I am not willing to have my ears enlarged, lol. Some kinds of hearing aids have a bluetooth piece that goes with them that will connect the hearing aids to your phone via a little tag you ware around your neck. Yay, less ear gear! However, they tend to be rather expensive. I am looking into that solution. Hope this info helps a bit.

Opinions on Aftershocks headphones
Good evening everyone. I am after opinions on Aftershocks headphones. I am helping best friend and list member Hannah Day look into these as she was informed by a mutual friend that they may suit her instead of traditional headphones. The reason she's looking into these is to enable her to wear headphones despite her ears being vulnerable to infection. She currently uses the speakers on her iPhone 4s. But while I can wear traditional headphones only with hearing aids out, Hannah may not be able to for it could put her at risk of ear infection. I'm also interested myself as should they work for her I might check them out for myself. Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks!
