RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Mary,

On your iPhone, if you type in Aftershock, in the search field of the App 
Store, you will see the app used to configure both the Open Run and Open Fit 
models.

Although every function of the app is VoiceOver accessible, some of the button 
labels are a little bit weird even though they do make sense.  

The primary reason you will use the app is to configure the sound profile, 
(music, Vocal, etc.), update the firmware, and enable or disable multipoint 
functionality.  Be patient with the app and with yourself.

Mark

I just looked for an app in the App Store called shock as spelled in a message. 
I didn’t find anything useful. I did find something that I thought might be it, 
because it was spelled SHOKZ which is how I remember this having been spelled. 
But when I tapped on that, I got some app that was called speaker connect And 
gave me a three day trial with a subscription every month after that. I’m quite 
sure that’s not what I want. Can anybody give me a hint as to just what I need 
to search onto actually find this app. Thanks.

You can also change the equalizer by pressing and holding both the volume up 
and down button at the same time until the change is announced.
Be sure to keep the box it came in as well as a copy of your receipt. I too 
have the Open Run and have had other models throughout the years. I love the 
bone conduction feature as it leaves my ears open. I'm one of those blindies 
who loses all sense of direction if my ears are covered up. Anyway... the 
reason I say to hold onto all your stuff for the headset is that for every 
single version I've had, I have had to get a replacement roughly a year after 
purchase. Getting a replacement thankfully is pretty seamless and it's a 
generous 2 year warranty, but just something to keep in mind. This really is 
the only gripe I have about the Shokz headsets.

Subject: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth 
Headphones for iPhone

Hello Everyone,

A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting 
Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone.

I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the 
Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using a 
Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good.

I think they are absolutely amazing.

What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app for 
iOS, one can change the voice profile.  Kind of an E.Q. feature that I 
absolutely love.

The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days 
later, I purchased the Open Fit model.  

With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which to 
choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature.

The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD.

There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit model.
1.
The Open Run Pro is bone conduction.

2.
The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the 
sound.

3.
Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both ears.

4.
Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between 
Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two, devices, 
simultaneously.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me, just 
go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

Mark

Player app for multiple files?

[Goshawk On Horseback]

Hello all, does anyone know of any player apps that can play a folder of audio 
files, rather than just one individual file please?
I have recently downloaded a good load of my sendspace audio files onto my 
iPhone, but especially when I am trying to play the stuff ripped from CDs, 
which are in their individual tracks, it is a real pain in the backside, having 
to select and play each individual file, rather than the whole thing just 
playing, hope that makes sense. The majority of the audio is in standard MP3, 
but if the app could also be capable of playing .flac files as well, that would 
be really convenient, and if by probably a bit of a longshot, it could play 
video files as well, that would be super convenient, but I realise I might be 
asking a bit much on that score, and it is only one of the folders, that has a 
bit of a mix of audio and video files in it.

Simon, the March Merman.

Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting
Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone.

I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the
Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using
a Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good.

I think they are absolutely amazing.

What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app
for iOS, one can change the voice profile.  Kind of an E.Q. feature that I
absolutely love.

The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days
later, I purchased the Open Fit model.  

With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which
to choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature.

The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD.

There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit
model.
1.
The Open Run Pro is bone conduction.

2.
The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the
sound.

3.
Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both
ears.

4.
Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between
Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two,
devices, simultaneously.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me,
just go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

RE: Purchasing audiobooks in the Audible app on my iPhone is inconsistent

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I generally buy on the website instead of the app for this reason. I always try 
to score a Kindle Unlimited promo sub to make the Kindle version free wherever 
possible to only pay at the discounted price on Audible.
That and I use the  Library extension   
that'll let you know if the title you're looking for is already available in 
the library systems you're a member of

Hi Mary,
 
I almost always prefer to purchase via the Amazon primary site because the 
Audible version is much less expensive when you also purchase the Kindel 
version, at the same time.
 
I recently purchased a Kendle with Whisper sync title for a total of $11 while 
purchasing the Audible title, only, would have cost $22.
 
My advice?  Always check for Whisper sync and, if available, buy the Kindle 
version with audible narration.

If you don’t see the option to buy with cash, as head out or though has said, 
make sure you updated your app. As for it being easier to purchase with a 
credit, sure it’s easier. It’s also stupid if the cash price is less than what 
you paid for the credit. If you’re willing to trade efficiency for cash, OK. 
I’m not. If they didn’t have the option, I would just do all my cash purchases 
online. On the website on my computer. However, since this option is available, 
I expect it to work all of the time, not just when it feels like it.

 Finally, I wanted to buy one more with cash for the same reason I

 Nothing. So I went to the website and bought it there. Has anyone

I do the same thing.  Don't forget about the monthly sales.  You can
get some really good deals.  I got the bookThe Three Musketeers for
$1.80.  When I save up some money, I'm going back to $230 per year for
24 credits all at once.  That plan has the best deals on purchasing
extra credits.

Re: Purchasing audiobooks in the Audible app on my iPhone is inconsistent

[lenron brown]

If the book is less than the price of a credit I will normally buy the
book.  Can't waste credits on cheap books.

Re: Purchasing audiobooks in the Audible app on my iPhone is inconsistent

[Mary Otten]

I am on a yearly credit plan that of course I buy through Audible directly. So 
the credits are each worth something less than $11. I figured it out and I 
don’t remember exactly. So I always look to see about whispersync, but often 
it’s cheaper to use a credit or maybe I’ll find it on bookshare or whatever.

Re: Purchasing audiobooks in the Audible app on my iPhone is inconsistent

[Joshua Hendrickson]

If you purchase audible credits from your phone, they are more
expensive, then from the audible website.
