Yeah… sure didn’t pay $180. Must have gotten them on sale then. Ultimately, different strokes for different folks.

For $179.95 I'll stick with seriously high quality sound over the ear headphones and deal with comfort and possibly warm ears and stick with my $20 wrist speaker for walking without blocking my ears.

They’re a more comfortable fit than the Titanium in that they’re lighter and a little more flexible and thus have more give. I’m a 7 and 3/8th hat as a reference point. Anyway, I use them all day every day. I use a head set for work all day with jaws and so I like to give my ears a break whenever I can. I use my Trekz Air for audiobook listening, podcasting and general stuff on my iPhone when I’m away from my PC. I would consider myself a heavy iPhone user and a charge pretty much gets me through the day. I also use them when I’m on my treadmill or stationary bike. Convenient in that my ears don’t get all hot and I can crank the volume up without feeling disorientated. They’re not going to win you any style points though. My wife calls my Trekz those trekkie looking headphones. Call quality while ok, it’s probably not going to be able to replace a headset meant for talking on the phone full time. Anyway, I like my Trekz Air for the break they give my eardrumbs and convenience. For $150 though, they’re not cheap.

I have used them. I have a somewhat large head, so the Aftershokz were too tight and uncomfortable to wear, but the sound quality was good, though I think the battery life isn't great. You can usually return them within 30 days for a refund. So, it might be worth trying, if you can be sure you can return them if you don't like them. Some folks on this list love them, but there is nothing better than trying them for yourself.

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.
