Re: after shockz quality

[Michael Feir]

I have the Aftershokz Aropex. I find the battery life to be absolutely
excellent. I have hearing difficulty and these don't interfere at all with
my hearing aids. Also, it separates the sound from my iPHONE from what's
coming into my hearing aids which is very useful. If I want to listen to a
movie or audio drama, I would use my AirPods as they give much fuller
sound. However, for podcast or spoken word content, the Aropex are becoming
my preferred headset while writing. You do lack some bass but it's not a
complete absence. If you want music for background it does a fine job. I
have the Titaniums and the Aropex are a nice upgrade from them. The
transducers are much smaller and the headset is far more comfortable to
wear. They're great for walking outdoors when you want GPS directions
without sacrificing hearing. Also, the mic and noise cancellation for phone
calls works far better than the Titaniums did. I have confidence that
people will actually understand me even in windy conditions. They're worth
the price if you go in with the right reasons and expectations.

RE: after shockz quality

[Simon A Fogarty]

Hi Donnie,

Thanks yeah I am going to have to find a store that has them on a demo stand 
and have a listen.

 I've also gotta look at the bose frames which I think might fit my use better 
as they are meant for music etc and they are sun glasses,

I again just have to test the audio quality out from my phone.

I have the Aftershockz Mini headset and like it a lot. It connects up pretty 
quickly, and is the best headset I've had as far as use with the phone app 
goes. There isn't very much vibration against the jaw bone unless I'm watching 
a video where things are really bassy. I switch between it and my Beats Studio 
wireless; the former is used if I'm just doing initial audio work where I have 
to proof and correct mistakes in the Dragon output document; the latter comes 
in to play when I have to do a more thorough read-through to make sure I've 
gotten all the nuances in. The earplugs that come with the Mini are great, too, 
for blocking out bus chatter from squawking kids or people who think everyone 
wants to listen in on their conversation.

I'd use my Beats all day, but my ears would get hot, and I'd miss half of the 
stuff people say to me when they walk up and start chattering.
Aftershockz is a good open-ear alternative.

Sorrry andy I’m having a laugh here thinking about what you were listening to 
while the person beside you was singing along.

And yeah in places I’m not sure of using GPS would be a possibility so that

The best I do now is put one of my pods in while walking and that gives me the 
gps details if I’m using google maps.

RE: after shockz quality

[Christopher Chaltain]

Sorry, but two things I forgot to add. First, there isn’t much base to speak 
off, at least not in the Titaniums. This doesn’t bother me at all, and in fact 
I kind of prefer it, when I’m listening to a screen reader or something being 
read or spoken. I get most of an 8 hour day from my Titaniums, probably closer 
to 6 hours of continuous listening, which isn’t the best of my collection of 
Bluetooth headphones, but it does blow away the Bose Frames or the AirPod Pros, 
which are the Bluetooth headphones I have that overlap the most with the 
Titaniums as far as my use cases are concerned.

I don’t really have much to add that hasn’t already been said. I replaced the 
original AfterShokz Bluez with the Trekz Titaniums, so I’m now a few models 
behind, but IMHO, these are great head phones for the right use case. The noise 
bleed has gotten a lot better. With the Bluez, I’d never use them in a meeting, 
but I don’t have that hesitation with the Titaniums. The sound quality has also 
improved a lot, but I still wouldn’t use them when you want high fidelity, but 
in those cases, I’m usually reaching for something with some active or passive 
noise cancellation anyway. The volume has also improved, so I don’t have as 
much buzzing on my temples as I did with the Bluez when I crank up the sound a 
bit. As some else, probably Nimer, said, you do get some ear plugs that you can 
use to give you some passive noise cancellation. As has already been mentioned, 
this means you lose one of the big advantages of the bone conduction, but this 
does make them a bit more versatile, since if you’re in a noisy restaurant, and 
you need a few minutes of quiet so you can check in with Swarm, you can just 
pop in the foam ear plugs. I also find them extremely comfortable, but just as 
with sound quality, this is going to be subjective.

 

For me, the Titaniums are my go to head phones around the house when I’m 
listening to my screen reader, a book from BARD or a podcast. I still want to 
be able to hear what’s going on around me, like my wife talking to me. I’ll 
also use them when I’m watching a movie or TV show on Netflix, Prime or Apple 
TV+, and I still want to hear what’s going on around me, but in those cases, 
I’ll also frequently grab the AirPod Pros, which have better sound quality and 
I can toggle between noise cancellation and transparency.

Hi lists,

 

I’m taking a look at bone conduction headphones as an option to listen while 
I’m out walking,

 

I’ve been looking at the after shockz treks air

And the new After shockz aeropex 

 

But as I’m not able to check the quality of sound I thought I’d see what people 
who have used these things, what they think of the sound quality,

 

I’m interested in things such as how much vibration is there against your cheek,

Is the base  high or low?

And do they have good volume or are they normally pretty quiet at a half volume 
point?

 

And what type of battery life are people getting out of these devices?

 

Cheers for any information folks might have.

 

Cheers.

Hi, 

I have the Trekz Air, and I like them, but not for music. It’s sad that they 
cost so much, but the music quality doesn’t always feel that great.

Hi lists,

 

I’m taking a look at bone conduction headphones as an option to listen while 
I’m out walking,

 

I’ve been looking at the after shockz treks air

And the new After shockz aeropex 

 

But as I’m not able to check the quality of sound I thought I’d see what people 
who have used these things, what they think of the sound quality,

 

I’m interested in things such as how much vibration is there against your cheek,

Is the base  high or low?

And do they have good volume or are they normally pretty quiet at a half volume 
point?

 

And what type of battery life are people getting out of these devices?

 

Cheers for any information folks might have.

 

Cheers.

Hello,

I own the Aeropex, and find the audio to vibrate less.

It is important to note that users who get these kinds of headsets should never 
expect audio quality. They should use the tool for its intended purpose. Bone 
conduction is great for hearing your surroundings while also hearing audio, and 
is really great for use with GPS apps and such while walking about or on a bus. 
Bone conduction is not, nor, in my view, will it ever be a great audio source 
such as a high-end headset.

Also, if you would like to maximize the quality of the audio from the headset, 
you should use the included foam ear mufflers. This defeats the purpose of the 
bone conduction, but is good enough when you wish to have a bit better audio 
quality.

Thanks.

Hi Simon,

This is an item a person needs to try out for themselves.  As our esteemed 
colleague, Richard Turner stated, the, " sound quality is in the ear of the 
beholder."

I only use my Trekz Air for talking / texting so I can't comment about 
listening to music or any other type sound file you might want to listen to 
but, they sound just fine to me.  Experimentation is a must as far as where you 
will hear the best in regards to the speaker placement on your jaw bone.  There 
are times where I've had to put the little speakers into my ear hole because of 
distracting noise going on around me.

The Trekz Air has a built in equalizer but, since I haven't really played 
around with it, the equalizer that is, I can't comment on that.

Overall for my purposes, the Trekz Air is an excellent headset.


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

If you are thinking of them for anything but speech, you will likely be 
disappointed. They are not great for music. The vibration is not bad, but I 
only used them for a couple of days. The Aeropex get about 8 hours on a charge, 
which are the ones I tired I had high hopes for them, but even though they were 
a better fit than the prior models, they were still rather tight on my head. 
But, as always, sound quality is in the ear of the beholder.If you can get free 
shipping and returns, they are worth trying..

Re: after shockz quality

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

I own the Aeropex, and find the audio to vibrate less.

It is important to note that users who get these kinds of headsets should
never expect audio quality. They should use the tool for its intended
purpose. Bone conduction is great for hearing your surroundings while also
hearing audio, and is really great for use with GPS apps and such while
walking about or on a bus. Bone conduction is not, nor, in my view, will it
ever be a great audio source such as a high-end headset.

Also, if you would like to maximize the quality of the audio from the
headset, you should use the included foam ear mufflers. This defeats the
purpose of the bone conduction, but is good enough when you wish to have a
bit better audio quality.

Thanks.

Re: after shockz quality

[Mike B]

Hi Simon,

This is an item a person needs to try out for themselves.  As our esteemed 
colleague, Richard Turner stated, the, " sound quality is in the ear of the 
beholder."

I only use my Trekz Air for talking / texting so I can't comment about 
listening to music or any other type sound file you might want to listen to 
but, they sound just fine to me.  Experimentation is a must as far as where 
you will hear the best in regards to the speaker placement on your jaw bone. 
There are times where I've had to put the little speakers into my ear hole 
because of distracting noise going on around me.

The Trekz Air has a built in equalizer but, since I haven't really played 
around with it, the equalizer that is, I can't comment on that.

Overall for my purposes, the Trekz Air is an excellent headset.


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

If you are thinking of them for anything but speech, you will likely be 
disappointed. They are not great for music. The vibration is not bad, but I 
only used them for a couple of days. The Aeropex get about 8 hours on a 
charge, which are the ones I tired I had high hopes for them, but even 
though they were a better fit than the prior models, they were still rather 
tight on my head. But, as always, sound quality is in the ear of the 
beholder.If you can get free shipping and returns, they are worth trying..

If you are thinking of them for anything but speech, you will likely be 
disappointed. They are not great for music. The vibration is not bad, but I 
only used them for a couple of days. The Aeropex get about 8 hours on a charge, 
which are the ones I tired I had high hopes for them, but even though they were 
a better fit than the prior models, they were still rather tight on my head. 
But, as always, sound quality is in the ear of the beholder.If you can get free
