I have the older Aftershokz headset. I still use them because I find
them super comfortable, and I like the fact they don't block external
noise. On the downside, the audio quality isn't great, but more than OK
for listening to a screen reader, audio books or podcasts. An audiofile
wouldn't be satisfied using this headset to listen to music. There's
also some sound bleed, so people around you will hear buzzing or even
what you're listening to if you have the volume cranked up. I'd
recommend them for the situation where you want to listen to a TTS or
voices and you don't want to block exterior noises. I wouldn't recommend
them for listening to music. I'm not sure if these somewhat less
versatile headphones are worth it for you or not.

I have used the Aftershokz products for a few years. They have
steadily improved in that time, in terms of sound quality and
durability. They are perfect for mobile use, especially while using a
GPS navigation app or something like AIRA. As to whether they are
worth the price, that is a personal decision for each individual
dependent on income and priorities.

*Subject:* Bone conduction headsets, Are they worth buying?
Hello folks,
I wonder if any of you have used bone conduction headsets. Are
they worth buying? I like to know how clear the sound is and how
comfortable are they to wear.
I do not have any hearing problems, but since I use headsets while
I am using my computer, my iPad, my iPhone, and even my android
tablet, I thought protecting my ear drums against potential damage
is a good idea. I am also thinking that keeping my ear open to
know my surrounding while walking in the streets and using
navigation, a bone conducting headset is theoretically the most
appropriate.
I am just not sure if it is worth to throw away over 100 bucks to
try. For this I hope to get a feedback from those among you who
have used them.
Regards,
Cris
