I tried a pare from Amazon as well as directly from Aftershokz. I’m on the phone all day for my business and there were quite a few people who said the same. Sounded too far, muffled and in general not close or crisp. My experience is similar to this guy’s YouTube review: https://youtu.be/8FLOK_Eymo8 I wanted them to work, but for $160, I just wasn’t convinced with the call quality feedback I was receiving. It seems call quality and the lack of a mute button are common complaints for people who end up returning them. I know there’s a janky mute function by pressing multiple buttons etc., but it just feels too clunky. A simple dedicated mute button would make a world of difference. Especially for a headset that’s marketed for WFH and teleworking in general.
If you find it works for you, then that’s great. It just wasn’t the case for me. I ended up going back to my Plantronics 5200 headset. But again, as far as fit and comfort, the opencomm feel like they’ve got more give than the Aeropex From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Dave Clement Sent: Friday, November 5, 2021 3:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: AfterShokz headset question Hi, I have to agree with the others here. I have had very good results with the Open Comm and those I called all said they could hear me fine. To confirm this, I called two people using both the Open Comm and my Trex Titanium and they both said it was much clearer with the Open Comm. At first, it did take me a bit to realize that the boom actually turns from back to front. When I first got them, the boom arm was turned back to lay along the side of the Open Comm. I had to rotate the boom arm to come around to the front and then all went well. I'm wondering if perhaps you tried them with the boom arm still turned back on itself. This would have put the microphone back behind your ear and would have produced a poor signal. Just a thought. Otherwise, perhaps you ended up with a defective set.

The mic quality is quite decent, actually, and they are far from being quiet. I've actually used them to record a number of podcasts on my YouTube channel, which have turned out quite fine. I also use them daily for phone calls and, again, they work quite well. As for muting a call, you can certainly mute a call. You need to press both volume buttons once, and a call will be muted. Please see https://help.aftershokz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053359094-Commands-OpenComm#:~:text=Press%20and%20hold%20the%20volume%2B%20and%20volume%2D%20buttons%20simultaneously%20for,not%20work%20with%20all%20applications. for the various commands for the OpenComm headset.

I wanted to use them for work, so poor call quality was a dealbreaker for me. Also, the fact that it has no dedicated mute button also turned out to be a pain in the butt. Hopefully they’ll improve on future versions as I like the concept, but if you are working from home and want to use them for that, then you may be disappointed. As far as the band, it felt like it had more give than the Aeropex which was nice.

Just how flexible it is I can't say for sure as I did not need to try to alter it. I think the microphone does deliver a better result than other models. It is at the end of a pivoting boom arm and thus is closer to your mouth. The boom arm also contains a secondd microphone which is used to do some noise cancellation functions. This really helps deliver a clear vocal input signal when you are in a loud or noisy environment.

Their last few generations have included multi-pairing, and this includes the OpenComm. Thanks.
