AfterShokz Aeropex Open-Ear Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones, IP67 Rated, Cosmic Black

Battery backup not enough for full day. They should've made it last atleast 15hrs considering the size of this thing and the price tag. Sometimes it would literally scream statics and reboot on its own. The headphone has superb sound quality and very very low latency, which is way better than most Bluetooth headphones on the market. Multipair Connection is a sham though. Even though I can pair with 2 devices but I am allowed only to listen to one device =_=. Needs turning that device off in order to listen to other device. Most disappointing things is they didn't allow saved pairing with more than 2 devices.Edit 1: Not even 6months and multifunction button acting weird, making it impossible to use. Filed for replacement. Will update on their customer service later.Edit 2: It has been over a month since I've successfully delivered the item to their local distribution center following their direction. Haven't received replacement yet. They asked me to wait more. Atleast they replying me. Still I'll sue them if they decide to scam me. Will update again.Edit 3: Apperantly the exported unit got stuck at custom. Lost hope then and there. Chose to get refund.

I have been eyeing the Aftershockz since the Trekz version but the price tag seemed unjust when you have cheaper generic versions available. I ended up purchasing 4 generic bone conduction headsets since 2018 costing me a total of 10000. Everytime one headset would fail either because of the battery or connection breaks in one channel, I would just pick up another cheap generic bone conduction headset. But this came with a price far greater than the cost; frustration, procastration of buying a new unit, delivery delays and the most important... electronic waste!Finally it made sense to go with a premium priced brand because quality matters. I picked this up for 13999 which is decent for Indian market (import duties and all that). Reviews on YouTube are overly positive with battery and product life.PRODUCT REVIEW:The Aeropex model is an absolute beast!Battery:- It has a 110mAh battery. Charges at 0.08A and takes exactly 1hr 30min to charge from 0-100%- Battery life is crazy. I literally played white noise at full volume for 16hours straight. However in real-life usage scenario with calls and all, it gave around 10-12hours which is still way more than the advertised 8hours.Sound:- Sound is crystal clear and easily audible above 30% volume (for me).- The highs and lows are present. Bass is definitely there; with ear plugs the bass amplifies to a surround sound effect but lets be honest, we aint using ear plugs with open-ear design headsets.- Talking about the sound leak within a 4ft radius:-- Above 70% volume, sound leak is very obvious-- At 60%, sound leak is similar to an in-canal at 100%-- At 50% sound leak is hardly noticable-- At 40%, sound leak is negligible; I can secretly listen to music at the dinner table or a meeting and still have a conversation- Depending on my environment, I stay between a range of 35-80% of the volume- Sound is clear even in a breezy environment outdoorsMic:- PRO: Dual mic for noise cancellation definitely works well. Voice is crystal clear.- CON: Mic performs poorly in an heavily breezy outdoor environment. I had to hold my hand to shield the mic hole while talking.Features:- 2-year warranty; Definitely original, got mine registered successfully- Dual mics for noise cancellation- PremiumPitch 2.0+™ for better bass and volume- Moisture detection alert will prevent charging- IP67 but cant go swimming with them- Multi-point Bluetooth; you can connect it to 2 devices simultaenously.- One multifunctional button:-- Single-press: Play/Pause/Answer Incoming Call/Disconnect Ongoing Call-- Double-press: Play next track/Redial last number-- Triple-press: Play previous track-- Long-press: Reject Incoming Call/Launch voice assistant if nothing is playingBuild Quality:- Lightweight and sleek; can go unnoticed and sometimes you might forget you are wearing it :P- The bone conduction points are slightly angled to make better contact with the cheek bones and I must say its not a gimmick. Compared to my other bone conduction headsets, this one definitely out performs them in all categories; battery/volume/less sound leakageWhats in the box:- x1 Bone Conduction Headset (ofcourse)- x2 propietary magnetic charging cable- x1 Silicone Carrying Case with a magnetic flap- x1 Ear plugsFinal Verdict: Lit AF! Bone conduction technology is an experience and it's only getting better.This technology definitely works for me and I love it.

I have to say that I was a bit sceptical while ordering this piece of technology. But I am quite pleasantly surprised with the way it has grown on me. Firstly, for those who are looking at comparing this to a Bose / Sony, please don't. Its a completely different product meant for a runners / cyclist. I ordered it for my outdoor runs, its a complete delight, well balanced around the ears and decent sound quality. Its so light that you don't feel any discomfort while exercising / cycling. Moreover, I also started using it for my office calls from home, its links up to my Phone and Laptop quite seamlessly and can be worn for hours together. The battery quality is superb and will last you for 2.5 days straight on regular calls. I tried using this in my car as well, however due to cabin sound it wasn't so effective, given that I have a Diesel, but I am very sure it is going to work like a breeze in a Petrol vehicle, that is if you can afford to buy petrol @ 100 + during these days. Go for it...

Suitable for light and medium workouts. Should be fine for harder ones I guess, but haven't tried it. These are pretty easy to use and surprisingly light that you wouldn't feel like you are wearing one. It also comes with a quality carry case/pouch.My only concern is that it would start vibrating(lightly) when you put the volume above medium range (60/70). Also since it comes with a neck(head) band, don't even think about using this when lying down or when your head is resting against a surface.If you find yourself comparing these with other popular in/over/around the ear headphones in the same price range, remember that this is an open ear device and might not be the right thing for you. A worthy comparison would be against the same type of devices for eg., Bose sport open ear buds.

I bought this a year and half bag. There is not a single day I was without this .The fact that it is outside ear but with perfect sound quality is such a boon to the ears . When I listened to regular ear pods I could feel the intensity of other ear phones which we get so used to, but it sounded annoying.In between during warranty period I had issue with my ear phone and they replaced it importing from outside . Such a hassle free service worth mentioning.My usage is 70 percentage listening and 30 for calls and it suits me really well without having to plug anything inside ears and having a long term damage .Another thing it stays perfectly outside the ear and you don’t have to worry about placing and loosing it some where when not in use .I just searched for this order just to review out of the satisfaction level today.
