RE: aftershokz headphones

2016-04-04 Thread Cristóbal
There’s not much  that  can probably be done  about that.  It’s just a crappy 
microphone that’s  included in the headset. Indeed, I don’t even bother  trying 
to use my Bluez II to make or receive phone calls. Not that the mic doesn’t 
work  at all, but I find  it too unreliable to depend on consistently.

I have the simular problem with my Bluez2s. If anyone know how to resolve the

Ron, this will seem like a crazy question but what is your hat size?

 

I have tried a couple AfterShokz models but they are completely too tight on my 
head.  I think my hat size is about 7 and a half or 7 and 3/8ths.

Juan,

 

Indeed the Aftershokz headsets are all behind the head. I have had the wired 
model the Bluiz 2 and now the Treks and they all worked well for me but, for 
sure, the Treks is the lightest and the most comfortable. Having the band at 
the back is not a problem for me. In fact, in the winter in Canada, the 
Aftershokz works much better because there is no band going over your head to 
interfere with a hat. Over the head Headsets can be very uncomfortable when 
wearing them with a hat. I use my Treks all the time with my Trekker GPS and I 
love it.

Hi guys,

 

I was on the aftershokz website with my friend and she was telling me that all 
of the headphones are the kind of headset that goes around the back of your 
neck/head.  None of the ones like the Trekz, bluez, etc sit over the top of 
your head like traditional headphone headsets.

 

Is this true?  Someone at CSUN from LS should me a pair that goes over your 
head, and I found them to be the as500.  Are these the only ones?  Can soeone 
speak to any other models?

 

Thanks

RE: aftershokz headphones

2016-04-02 Thread Cristóbal
I'm a 7 and 3/8 hat size and while  I like the concept of bone conduction, I 
too find the Bluez II uncomfortable  after a while.
I'm tempted to  try  the new Trecks  model  Aftershokz is selling, but  don’t' 
feel like dropping $130.00 to discover the same discomfort. It's really too 
bad, I like to use them to give my ears a rest from the typical  over the ear 
headphones and especially when on the  stationary  bike or ellyptical, etc. 
I wonder if anyone  else on the big noggen side can  chime in as to any 
difference in  fit and  comfort with the Trecks.

with the Aftershox head phones.

wired model the Bluiz 2 and now the Treks and they all worked well for
me but, for sure, the Treks is the lightest and the most comfortable.
Having the band at the back is not a problem for me. In fact, in the
winter in Canada, the Aftershokz works much better because there is no

Also, since they use bone conduction, I'd think this would be a lot 
easier to engineer going around the back of your head as opposed to just 
over your head. I suppose you could have an over the head design, but 
you'd need something to place the noise conductors on the back of the 
cheek bone and apply some amount of pressure.

All the ones I've seen are the wrap around behind your head style.

Is this true?  Someone at CSUN from LS should me a pair that goes
over your head, and I found them to be the as500.  Are these the only

Re: aftershokz headphones

2014-05-23 Thread Christopher J Chaltain
The bluetooth antennae in the Aftershockz Bluez is on the left side of 
the headset, so if you place your phone on the left side of your body 
then that might help. Note that the Bluez 2 is redesigned, and this 
isn't supposed to be as much of an issue.

Hi Christine,

A Bluetooth headset or speaker cutting out is typically more a result

It's a good idea to know if the Bluetooth modem in the headset is on 
the left or on the right and then to keep your phone on the same side.


Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 devices are to some degree dealing with this, 
but it could still be an issue.

RE: aftershokz headphones

2014-05-22 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Christine,

 

A Bluetooth headset or speaker cutting out is typically more a result of its
connection to the phone. If, for example, you put on a Bluetooth headset and
then clamp your phone under your armpit most of them cut out because your
body, which is 70% water, blocks the signal.

 

It's a good idea to know if the Bluetooth modem in the headset is on the
left or on the right and then to keep your phone on the same side.

 

Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 devices are to some degree dealing with this, but it
could still be an issue.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Re: aftershokz headphones

2014-05-21 Thread Alex Hall
The Sport is wired with microphone, the Bluez is bluetooth with microphone. The 
Bluez has recently been updated to the Bluez 2, and I understand it is 
currently back-ordered until sometime in June. Both have play/pause an volume, 
I believe, though i only have personal experience with the Bluez 1 and 2. I 
strongly recommend you read reviews of the Bluez 2 before ordering, though, as 
some people (myself included) find them extremely uncomfortable to wear for 
very long.

Re: Aftershokz headphones.

2013-08-29 Thread Lisa belville
Sandra, as far as I know, the Trekker Breeze doesn't have the capability to 
send/receive any kind of Bluetooth signal unless you're talking about the 
older version that ran on a PDA, and in that case, I have no clue if the 
Aftershokx would work.  I know you couldn't hear your phone and the Breeze 
at the same time unless you could pair them both and switch between them 
seamlessly, and let's face it, Bluetooth isn't that reliable enough of the 
time, at least not for me.


You could use the wired version of the Aftershokz with your Breeze because 
they use a regular stereo headphone jack so fit into the breeze where the 
external speaker would go.


Then you could use another Bluetooth headset with your phone along with your 
Aftershokx.  You'd have to deal with two different headsets, though because 
I don't think you'd like having to wear both the Aftershokx Bluetooth 
headset and the wired Aftershokx headset because they both fit the same way, 
which is why I'd suggest a single earhook Bluetooth speaker for the phone 
portion of the set up.


I have a Breeze and I use it still even with my iPhone because of the same 
issues.  I can use the Bluetooth headset, but then I need to be listening 
for two different audio sources in addition to my surroundings, so I feel a 
bit limited as to when and where I can use them both safely.

Lisa,

Thank you for your reply.  Its just as I thought.  I just thought I would 
just ask the question anyway.


I think you are right in saying that about Bluetooth I would agree with you.

I don't think I would want to mess about with two headsets well not at the 
same time anyway.  So I guess I will just stick with my purchase and just 
use it for my trekker breeze.  I won't go anywhere without it at the moment, 
I am having to use a long cane at the moment as I am still waiting for a new 
guide dog.  Heaven knows when that is likely  to be.


sorry I know I have gone off track just a little.

It's easiest to clip them on to the sides of the band near the front, where

You mean on the headband close to the back of the head?  Guess I need to
feel around there more.

I have noticed that the sound wil changed based on how I position my neck
and head.  If I lean forward or back, the pressure on the headphones
increases, so the sound will change, not just getting louder, but there
seems to be more bass if I'm playing music.  I realize this is objective,
and it doesn't interfere with call volume.  These really are neat headphones
but everyone is going to have a different hearing experience based on how
their head and ears are designed.

Not yet, and I doubt if I will.  The strap feels like a very short rubber
band that I think would make the head band to tight.  I can't even figure
how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the 
strap
that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so 
it's

just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and
stretching them.

What is that extra little 3.5 mil cable that comes with the wired
headset? I can't seem to find a use for it.
Also, what are those plastic strips for with the bluetooth headset?

The headphones are supposed to fit just the way you have them. If they

supposed to fit snugly to your head, they'd have adjusters.

No, you can use SIRI via the home button or via the call button on the left
ear piece.  Just press and hold the button until you hear a long beep.
There's a slight pause, then you hear the two tones indicating SIRI is
listening.

Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of 
their


sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings
because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear
uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your 
ears


and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're
actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose 
fit.


The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call

2013-07-20 Thread Rick Alfaro
I have the Aftershokz Bluez and think they are terrific for certain
situations, but they would never come close to a set of Bose or any other
good pair in terms of sound quality.  They definitely are not designed for
any kind of serious or critical music listening.

 

Best regards,

For me they evened out my hearing, true stereo which is the second reason I
considered them, the first was not having to have them inside my ears.
Music is not perfect, I will grant that but, I am hearing in stereo for the
first time in 23 years, since I had a 12-hour surgery to remove a glomus
tumor or an acoustic neuroma.

Well, I didn't get them specifically for music.  They sound Okay, but only
if I'm using them while just sitting waiting or not wanting good sound
quality.  They do feel odd if I've got them turned up as they vibrate even
at low volume, and the higher volume increases the vibration on the sides of
my face that actually tickles and then gets really annoying after a while.

I can hear them just fine, but at first I did have to fiddle with the VO
volume, the headphone volume, and the volume switches on the phone to strike
a balance, though because they're all independent of each other.

I can hear the GPS and conversation around me, though I need to concentrate
more on each individual element just as I would when using and external
device.

No, you can use SIRI via the home button or via the call button on the left 
ear piece.  Just press and hold the button until you hear a long beep. 
There's a slight pause, then you hear the two tones indicating SIRI is 
listening.

Hi Lisa and others.

Now I have got my aftershokz bluetooth headset, and it is a great 
headset,

when you need to listen to a gps or taking a call while you are walking.

The only thing is to get them to fit on my little head, but ok it works.

It depends.  The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an 
issue


for me.  I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO 
will


announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time
elapsed.  I've turned off speech completely and have had good results 
with


that.

People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to 
get


distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my
pocket.

The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station,
though.  I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me.  I can 
start
walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and 
comes


back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is 
in


my pocket or what.

There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a 
swipe


or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened.  I know 
some


of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when 
using

both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard.  I'm a fast typist, so this
probably doesn't help, either.

Over all, I like this headset.  Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it 
on


and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it 
was


paired automatically.  I can switch between off and standby or regular
headphones with no problems.

Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of 
their


sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings
because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear
uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your 
ears


and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're
actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose 
fit.


The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left 
ear


that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button.
There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses
music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach
behind your head to access them

2013-07-18 Thread Lisa belville
You mean on the headband close to the back of the head?  Guess I need to 
feel around there more.


I have noticed that the sound wil changed based on how I position my neck 
and head.  If I lean forward or back, the pressure on the headphones 
increases, so the sound will change, not just getting louder, but there 
seems to be more bass if I'm playing music.  I realize this is objective, 
and it doesn't interfere with call volume.  These really are neat headphones 
but everyone is going to have a different hearing experience based on how 
their head and ears are designed.

Not yet, and I doubt if I will.  The strap feels like a very short rubber
band that I think would make the head band to tight.  I can't even figure
how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the 
strap
that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so 
it's

just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and
stretching them.

 Hi Lisa.
 
 Thank you very much. I have 1 more question, how is the sound quality when 
 using the headset for answering or making a call.

 Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their 
 sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings because 
 the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. The 
 headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes behind 
 your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually quite 
 comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit.
 
 The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left ear 
 that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. There's 
 an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. The other 
 functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind your head to 
 access them.  There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy swivel cover, 
 the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, and a volume 
 rocker switch.
 
 I'm not sure about charging out of the US.  Mine came with a USB cable that 
 I can connect to a PC or a wall charger.  So far, I've just used my wall 
 charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices.  The included 
 cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other things with a 
 micro USB port.
 
 Just ask if you have more questions.

 Hi.
 
 I am in doubt about which of the aftershokz headphones I should buy. I 
 think I will buy the bluetooth model, but what will you recommend. I think 
 I can get allowed to buy them on amazon.
 
 Best regards Annie.

I understand completely.  smiles

They fit behind my ears Okay, but I've given up on getting them to fit 
exactly across the back of my head.  They sort of droop down like a 
backwards blouse so they're almost touching the back of my neck between my 
shoulders.  I have long hair, and even in a pony tail this can get a little 
annoying, but I'm used to it.  I've moved in all kinds of directions while 
wearing them just to try to knock them off, including bending down to 
harness and pick up after my dog and while the headphones shift some on my 
face, they've never come off or even came close to sliding out of place.

Hi Lisa and others.

Now I have got my aftershokz bluetooth headset, and it is a great headset, 
when you need to listen to a gps or taking a call while you are walking.


The only thing is to get them to fit on my little head, but ok it works.

It depends.  The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue

announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time 
elapsed.  I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with 
that.


People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get

The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station,

walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes 
back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in 
my pocket or what.


There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe

of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

2013-07-17 Thread Lisa belville
Well, I didn't get them specifically for music.  They sound Okay, but only 
if I'm using them while just sitting waiting or not wanting good sound 
quality.  They do feel odd if I've got them turned up as they vibrate even 
at low volume, and the higher volume increases the vibration on the sides of 
my face that actually tickles and then gets really annoying after a while.


I can hear them just fine, but at first I did have to fiddle with the VO 
volume, the headphone volume, and the volume switches on the phone to strike 
a balance, though because they're all independent of each other.


I can hear the GPS and conversation around me, though I need to concentrate 
more on each individual element just as I would when using and external 
device.

I thought the plastic straps were stabilizers if you didn't like how the

no where on the headphones to insert any other cables unless I'm mistaken.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

2013-07-17 Thread Lisa belville
Not yet, and I doubt if I will.  The strap feels like a very short rubber 
band that I think would make the head band to tight.  I can't even figure 
how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the strap 
that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so it's 
just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and 
stretching them.

What is that extra little 3.5 mil cable that comes with the wired
headset? I can't seem to find a use for it.
Also, what are those plastic strips for with the bluetooth headset?

Hello Lisa,

The headphones are supposed to fit just the way you have them. If they 
were

supposed to fit snugly to your head, they'd have adjusters.

Cheers,

shoulders.  I have long hair, and even in a pony tail this can get a
little annoying, but I'm used to it.  I've moved in all kinds of
directions while wearing them just to try to knock them off, including
bending down to harness and pick up after my dog and while the

shift some on my face, they've never come off or even came close to
sliding out of place.

Hi.

I have just ordered mine from the aftershokz europe:
www.aftershokz.co.uk

You can also order from amazon.

Cheers Annie.
Cheers Annie.

 Keith,
 
 It's my understanding you have to order directly from Aftershokz at this
 point since the Bluez only have been shipping for maybe a month. I guess if
 you find them anywhere else it would be on Amazon.
 
 
 Regards,
 Sieghard

 It depends.  The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue
 for me.  I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO will
 announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time
 elapsed.  I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with
 that.
 
 People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get
 distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my pocket.
 
 The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station,
 though.  I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me.  I can start
 walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes
 back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in my
 pocket or what.
 
 There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe
 or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened.  I know some
 of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using
 both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard.  I'm a fast typist, so this probably
 doesn't help, either.
 
 Over all, I like this headset.  Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on
 and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it was
 paired automatically.  I can switch between off and standby or regular
 headphones with no problems.

 Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their 
 sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings because
 
 the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. 
 The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes 
 behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually 
 quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit.
 
 The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left ear 
 that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. 
 There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music.
 
 The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind 
 your head to access them.  There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy 
 swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, 
 and a volume rocker switch.
 
 I'm not sure about charging out of the US.  Mine came with a USB cable 
 that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger.  So far, I've just used my 
 wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices.  The 
 included cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other 
 things with a micro USB port.
 
 Just ask if you have more questions.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

2013-07-12 Thread Teresa Christian
Hi Annie,

I bought the blue tooth aftershokz with the in line mike and really
love them because I can use them with no cord going from my hands or
pocket to my head and when I am out and about walking or on a bus or a
train this is safer and way less annoying. There is a button on the
left ear piece to answer and hang up the phone. On the right ear piece
is a button to paws or play music so it makes it very easy to manage
things somewhat hands free.

I ware them under my hair so no one can tell I have them on. This is
great, however, when I talk on the phone, if I don't have the phone in
my hand, it looks like I am talking to myself, lol.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

2013-07-12 Thread Lisa belville
It depends.  The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue 
for me.  I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO will 
announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time 
elapsed.  I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with 
that.


People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get 
distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my pocket.


The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station, 
though.  I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me.  I can start 
walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes 
back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in my 
pocket or what.


There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe 
or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened.  I know some 
of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using 
both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard.  I'm a fast typist, so this probably 
doesn't help, either.


Over all, I like this headset.  Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on 
and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it was 
paired automatically.  I can switch between off and standby or regular 
headphones with no problems.

Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their 
sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings because 
the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. 
The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes 
behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually 
quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit.


The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left ear 
that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. 
There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. 
The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind 
your head to access them.  There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy 
swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, 
and a volume rocker switch.


I'm not sure about charging out of the US.  Mine came with a USB cable 
that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger.  So far, I've just used my 
wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices.  The 
included cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other 
things with a micro USB port.


Just ask if you have more questions.

It's my understanding you have to order directly from Aftershokz at this
point since the Bluez only have been shipping for maybe a month. I guess if
you find them anywhere else it would be on Amazon.

Aftershokz headphones and Siri commands.

2013-01-05 Thread Exracer
Hi all, anyone with the aftershokz headphones and using them on a 4S, I need
some advice on using it with Siri. So far they work great to listen to music
and to answer phone calls. I run into trouble when trying to send a text
message. When I send a text on my 4S using Siri, I usually do the following.
Ask Siri to send a text to whom ever. Siri responds with what would you like
to say to whom ever? I say the text and Siri ask if I would like to send and
I say send. This does not work when using the Aftershokz headphones. I have
to combine the first 2 commands into one and say the following. Send
whomever a text with the message ofSiri responds with would you like to
send the message and I then say send. I am wpondering why the 3 step command
works without the headphones and doesn't with? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

There are 2 Aftershokz headphones with mic, the older AS301 and the newer
M2. You can read up about them on Amazon, I am not entirely sure what
improvements they made with the M2. But at least you can ask somebody which
one you have and then find out more about it, probably best to look it up on
the Aftershokz website directly.

Difference between the new and old model Aftershokz headphones

2013-01-05 Thread Danny Leung
Hi,

According to the rep from Aftershokz when I purchased my, 

(1) the new model has smaller control panel; (2) newer model has the volume
control in the panel and the old one only has 2 buttons; (3) the battery
usage is a bit longer in the new model; (4) the new model only has 2 years
warranty and the old one has life time warranty and (5) new model costs
more.

I chose the old model because the life time warranty.  But I notice their
support is terrible for I am already encountered problem with my unit after
2 months.  I am still not able to get hold of them.

Re: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

I have the one that does not activate the phone but is a headset.
It works well with the Iphone and I can hear voice over well.
I am using it to hear the time and have my phone be silent while I am working.
I am planning to try the one that also works with the phone to answer calls.

The reviews on amazon.com mentioned some static with that one so was trying the 
sport headset first.

So far in the couple weeks I have had the headphones, I like then a lot and 
like that I can hear what is going on around me.

Re: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

2012-07-08 Thread Brent Harding
I got the ones with the mic, and I never heard static with them. I haven't 
used them a lot on phone calls, but they work good, considering they don't 
block your ears. I hope that Sendero app comes out soon that will give us 
all the features on GPS the regular apps don't do. I heard using these 
things with something like a Kapten Plus could be hard, as that not only 
uses the smaller plug, but has something else in it to trigger the mic for 
voice recognition.

I have the one that does not activate the phone but is a headset.
It works well with the Iphone and I can hear voice over well.
I am using it to hear the time and have my phone be silent while I am 
working.
I am planning to try the one that also works with the phone to answer 
calls.


The reviews on amazon.com mentioned some static with that one so was 
trying the sport headset first.


So far in the couple weeks I have had the headphones, I like then a lot 
and like that I can hear what is going on around me.

Re: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

2012-07-08 Thread Laura ann Grymes, LMT
That sounds great and I am going to get the ones with the mic.
Will use the ones I now have for exercise or just when I need headphones.

Really cool technology.
Love I can hear what is going on around me and hear music, voice over or 
whatever is in the headphones at the same time.
Very very interesting technology.
I got them after listening to the Serotalk podcast review on the headphones.

RE: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

2012-07-08 Thread Gail the U. S. Male
Exactly that, the aftershox are *bone conduction* headphones, they sit just
in front of your ears.  They're good, as far as they go, and they supposedly
have a lifetime warranty, which I'm going to have to test.  I purchased a
set of these, used them for an hour one day, and loved them.  I put them
back in a drawer, and pulled them out later, and I can only use them for a
few seconds, before they turn off.I bought mine off ebay, but I'm trying to
find the warranty information.

I never thought about that possibility!  I knew they had that nice clip,
with the control buttons on them, but didn't realize they also had
batteries.  The place I bought them from was an ebay store, and said they
were new.  I would have thought the battery would last longer than that.
Unless I didn't realize I had to turn them off, and they ran out.

RE: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

2012-07-08 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
I'm not at home to describe this better, but with my headphones there
was included a small accessory that plugs into the in-line control box,
and the other into your computers USB for charging. The in-line switch
does power on/off, as well as control inline volume.

I never thought about that possibility!  I knew they had that nice clip,
with the control buttons on them, but didn't realize they also had
batteries.  The place I bought them from was an ebay store, and said
they
were new.  I would have thought the battery would last longer than that.
Unless I didn't realize I had to turn them off, and they ran out.

Exactly that, the aftershox are *bone conduction* headphones, they sit
just
in front of your ears.  They're good, as far as they go, and they
supposedly
have a lifetime warranty, which I'm going to have to test.  I purchased
a
set of these, used them for an hour one day, and loved them.  I put them
back in a drawer, and pulled them out later, and I can only use them for
a
few seconds, before they turn off.I bought mine off ebay, but I'm trying
to
find the warranty information.

I got the ones with the mic, and I never heard static with them. 
I haven't

I have the one that does not activate the phone but is a headset.
 It works well with the Iphone and I can hear voice over well.
 I am using it to hear the time and have my phone be silent while I am
working.
 I am planning to try the one that also works with the phone to answer
calls.

 The reviews on amazon.com mentioned some static with that one so was
trying
the sport headset first.

 So far in the couple weeks I have had the headphones, I like then a lot
and
like that I can hear what is going on around me.

Aftershokz, but I like the noise-canceling older ones I have used for a

Ok, let me describe what I have.  In the box, were the headphones, a nice
bag to put them in, and upon further looking, there is a USB dongle looking
thing, with one miniplug, which I thought was an adapter, that you could put
into your computer, kind of like those mic/headphone adapters you can use
with your computer. Is that how you recharge the battery? And, how long does
it take to fully charge them?  If that's what they are, I feel really
stupid! LOL! Oh well, it won't be the first time.

Yes, there's a big jack to a smaller plug adapter thing that plugs into the 
USB dongle, then you plug the whole thing into a USB port. I'm not sure if 
that little extension thing is needed, or if you can just take the audio 
plug and plug it right into the dongle, but they charge through the same 
connection that would normally feed sound in.

Ok, let me describe what I have.  In the box, were the headphones, a nice
bag to put them in, and upon further looking, there is a USB dongle 
looking
thing, with one miniplug, which I thought was an adapter, that you could 
put

into your computer, kind of like those mic/headphone adapters you can use
with your computer. Is that how you recharge the battery? And, how long 
does

it take to fully charge them?  If that's what they are, I feel really

That sounds like it. Without it in front of me, I can't explain it.
Certainly, the USB prong goes into the computer. I think you just plug
the headphone plug into the other end of that part. I don't think it

I don't know how long it takes to charge. I don't think I ever let mine
fully run down. Right out of the box mine had a charge, but I charged
them for an hour. I must have gotten 5 to 8 hours out of them without
problem over several days, before I recharged them. I haven't had them
all that long, though, to give you a much more informed insight. Good

I have the one that does not activate the phone but is a headset.
 It works well with the Iphone and I can hear voice over well.
 I am using it to hear the time and have my phone be silent while I am
working.
 I am planning to try the one that also works with the phone to answer
calls.

 The reviews on amazon.com mentioned some static with that one so was trying
the sport headset first.

 So far in the couple weeks I have had the headphones, I

Well, that certainly is helpful.  I'll try that, I was going to contact the
company tomorrow, but I don't think I'll have to, now. Thanks guys.

I don't know how long it takes to charge. I don't think I ever let mine
fully run down. Right out of the box mine had a charge, but I charged them
for an hour. I must have gotten 5 to 8 hours out of them without problem
over several days, before I recharged them. I haven't had them all that
long, though, to give you a much more informed insight. Good luck.

Ok, mine are the sport models, and the sound cable just plugs right into
that dongle thing.  How long does it take to fully charge the batteries?
Also, how long can you get from a full charge?  I must have not hit the
power button, when I put them away, and the battery ran down, which would
make since, since I didn't realize there was a battery in the first place!
LOL!

Yes, there's a big jack to a smaller plug adapter thing that plugs into the
USB dongle, then you plug the whole thing into a USB port. I'm not sure if
that little extension thing is needed, or if you can just take the audio
plug and plug it right into the dongle, but they charge through the same
connection that would normally feed sound in.

 Ok, let me describe what I have.  In the box, were the headphones, a
nice
 bag to put them in, and upon further looking, there is a USB dongle 
 looking thing, with one miniplug, which I thought was an adapter, that 
 you
could 
 put
 into your computer, kind of like those mic/headphone adapters you can
use
 with your computer. Is that how you recharge the battery? And, how
long 
 does
 it take to fully charge them?  If that's what they are, I feel really 
 stupid! LOL! Oh well, it won't be the first time.

 I can do that, but it will be aweek. I'm on the road and chose to take
a
 different set of headphones with. It was a toss-up, as I like the 
 Aftershokz, but I like the noise-canceling older ones I have used for
a 
 few
 years, too.

 I never thought about that possibility!  I knew they had that nice
clip,
 with the control buttons on them, but didn't realize they also had 
 batteries.  The place I bought them from was an ebay store, and said
they
 were new.  I would have thought the battery would last longer than
that.
 Unless I didn't realize I had to turn them off, and they ran out.

It has a small usb adapter type plug and on the other end is a place to plug in 
headset.
You plug it into the computer to charge.
I haven't had to charge yet.

I think if you forget to turn off they turn themselves off after a certain 
amount of time.
I was using it to test the other day while working and when I went to check 
time on my phone it was silent.
I turned them back on and it worked.

so would say they went to sleep or turned off.

The piece for charging was small and you could have missed it in the packaging.
I almost did.
Hope this helps?

It wasn't obvious.
glad you found it.
I just got mine last week or two so haven't had to recharge them yet.

Re: Aftershokz Headphones with mic

2012-07-08 Thread AJ
Those of you who have used the aftershokz, have you noticed that other
people can hear the other half of your phone conversations or music,
even when at a reasonably low volume?  I read several complaints of
that in amazon reviews.
