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
