I ordered the Trekz Titanium Air, a newer and lighter version and at least when I ordered it on Amazon there was no option to select a size.
From: 'Bill Gallik' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 7, 2019 4:17 AM To: viPhone 📩 <[email protected]> Subject: Trekz Sizing - Was: bone conduction headphones - not what I expected Sieghard et al, When I last ordered a set of Trekz Bone Conduction earphones there was an option for the size of the headband. Admittedly, it was not particularly granular; but there was at least a large and regular choice. Has Trekz discontinued this; I am quite satisfied with the large Titaniums I ordered several years ago; the very first Trekz I ordered had a too small (for me) headband and it cracked within a few weeks. It would truly be a shame if they had decided to discontinue the size option - far more important than the several color choices offered. **************** - Bill from Ino, Wisconsin - "All men are frauds.

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.

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.

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.

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.
