It is notable that so many of us have experienced breakage with normal use.

True, they do work well for exercising, walking/jogging, etc. They are water 
resistant, and I can tell you I've taken mine through plenty of hot and humid 
days, light rain, and so on. This set still works, and my last set broke due to 
structural failure, not water damage.

  Yes, indeed. I gave up on using them as a hands free calling solution. Call 
quality is really pretty crappy. I mainly use mine for working out. Stationary 
bike, elyptical, resistance bands/cables, that sort of thing. I do like the 
fact that I can work out with headphones and not get my ears all heated up and 
sweaty. 
  I broke my set and ordered a replacement under the warranty. I just fixed the 
broken ones with a cut up old credit card and some electircal tape and sold the 
replacements on eBay instead of holding on to them. Good concept and they’re 
even good for listening, but don’t’ expect any more than that.

  That's one of m complaints about this headset. Siri and dictation are, I'm 
pretty sure, a limitation of the current bluetooth standard used by Aftershokz, 
and they'd need to make a whole new model to address the problem. Even then, I 
don't know that upgrading to bluetooth 4 or 4.1 would fix things.
   
  Call quality is the other problem I've run into. It's like the microphones 
just don't work well, and the volume others hear is very low. I find the Bluez 
works okay in quiet environments, and sometimes I can manage to use it while 
I'm outside, but it's certainly not the best for making calls. Sorry I can't 
offer more positive news.

    Hi all,
     
    I have the bluez 2 Aftershokz headset for my iPhone, and I like it a lot, 
but there is one question I have.  The voice quality on phone calls really 
sucks.  I had thought maybe sometimes, it was just a bad connection, but it 
seems like it is really hard for people to hear me on it.  Today, when I turned 
it off while talking to a friend, she could hear me a lot better without it, 
but I can’t and don’t want to talk on the phone while holding it to my ear all 
the time.  Also, SIRI and dictation are deplorable with this headset.  Does 
anyone have any tips for getting it to work better, or is there any firmware 
update or something I can get that might improve this?  Any help would be 
appreciated.
