I recently bought the Trekz Titanium Air which I like, but I am not
100% happy with how there is a non-adjustable band or whatever you
want to call it behind your head. For me it’s wway to big and if I
push it further up my head where it’s lying against my head then it
doesn’t really stay there during walking.

The volume will never be loud enough when walking in noisy traffic.
That is the only downside to having your ears uncovered, which of
course, is also the upside to using bone conduction.
If you need the gps info while in noisy areas, there really isn't a
good solution.
If you just want info while hearing your surroundings they are fine.
I will say as someone who has not been able to where the previous
Aftershokz, I had an opportunity to try the Trex titanium the other
day and they are more comfortable by far.

That's the main thing to realise about bone conduction. You're
never going to get the same richness of sound that you would from
earbuds or headphones. The upside is that you can't really damage
your hearing with them since the sound goes through your skull.
They're ideal for reading a book or listening to GPS instructions
while walking so you can still hear your surroundings normally
with your ears. They also don't interfere with hearing aids which
is a plus in my case. One major minus is that I find the
microphone in the Trekz Titanium leaves much to be desired. I
would never do a recording with it. You can be understood by Siri
and on phone calls but it's an area where I'd like some
improvement. I don't regret my backing of the Trekz Titaniums
when they came out and will upgrade to whatever the current
generation of Aftershokz is when these ones fail. Aftershokz
customer service and warranty has been very good and they quickly
replaced a set which broke without fuss.

I have a pair of Aftershokz Trekz Titaniums, and I love them.
They're my go to headphones now. I find them super
comfortable and the sound quality is much better then the
Aftershokz Bluez which they replaced. I can see where volume
might be a problem if you're in a really noisy environment,
but I'm able to crank the volume up enough when I'm in the
car and there's quite a bit a road noise.

Hi,
I’m looking for input from those who have used bone
conduction headphones. I recently ordered my first pair
from Mystic Access after hearing a podcast on them. I
had been considering this purchase for a while because my
ears have been feeling sensitive to having earbuds
directly in my ears. I naively thought that there
really was something special to how the sound was
conducted, but my experience with these is similar to
years ago when I used to place my over the head padded
headphones just in front of my ears and turn up the
volume. I am actually finding that the volume on these
is not loud enough to hear when I’m walking along a
traffic filled road. Is my experience similar to yours?
At this point, I’m really not finding them worth the
investment and glad I did not spend more on aftershokz.
My ears have just felt so sensitive to earbuds and I’m
concerned about damaging my hearing when I listened to
stuff in noisy areas.
