> 3 dayI LOVED these from the first use! Then starting a week ago, 2-4 minutes into a run, they would shut off and disconnect. I tried hard resets a few times as well as all other advice I found online. Nothing worked. So I submitted a warranty request and the customer service was INCREDIBLE! Within a few days I had a new pair. I charged them and have used them for one run. They worked perfectly. I am hoping it was just a fluke with my first pair as the sound, way they are worn and overall functionality of these is far superior to AirPods or other earbuds I have used Update: first pair purchased June 2020; replaced September 2020 November 2020, second pair having the same problem. I hate them and am trying to get in touch with Aftershokz to return these overpriced pieces of garbage for a refund.

> 3 dayFantastic for driving or doing housework. I can listen to books, music, podcasts while doing mundane things. For long car trips it keeps me engaged and helps pass the time. Since they do not go into your ear canals, you can hear traffic, sirens etc and drive safely.

> 3 dayBought these headphones because the ad says they have a longer battery life than other comparable headphones. I have yet to run out of battery life, whereas with my previous headphones I regularly ran out.

> 3 daySo I was intrigued by the notion of headphones that rendered sound while allowing for hearing surroundings. Initial impressions were good--The headset was comfortable and light, and phone calls crystal clear. Then I listened to music, and thats where the performance of these headphones falls flat--pun intended. Pick your genre--rock, hip hop, R&B, pop--the music is flat and theres just no bass response to speak up. Turning up the volume results in mild vibration and exploring the iPhone EQ settings helped little. Conclusion? If youre intent is to listen to podcasts or audio books while walking or biking, then this headset will suit you just fine. If youre seeking even a modicum of bass performance, but still want wireless freedom and sweat protection, I encourage looking at the Bose Soundsport or SONY WF-SP800N ear buds.

> 3 dayI was skeptical about these, but two trusted friends (who don’t know each other) both recommended them so I gave it a try. Working from home has been tricky, I needed something that still lets me hear my background, won’t give me a weird hair crease like regular headphones do, and a battery that lasts through the workday. These totally did the trick! They go behind my head along the neckline, under my hair, and because they send sound thru the bone, it’s not plugging my ears at all so I can hear what’s going on around me. And the battery life on these lasts about 7-8 hours straight! They can sync to my computer or my phone, anything with Bluetooth. If you’re thinking of trying these, you won’t be disappointed. Literally the only thing I can complain about is that you cannot use them while it’s charging. But they charge fast, so not really an issue.

> 3 dayMy wife and I are pretty active and do a lot of outdoor cycling, running, walking, etc. The bone conduction technology is a definite safety factor since it allows you to hear environmental noises. I havent tested the noise cancellation aspect, but I would think earplugs would be as effective with or without the headphones. The sound of these is excellent especially since these are bone conductive. OTE headphones would probably have better sound for audiophiles, but the sound on the Audioshokz is very good. I have used / tested some cheaper bone conduction headphones and their sound was not nearly as good as these Aeropex. These sound as good as athletic ear buds that I have used. The comfort and size are a big plus. I will forget that I have them on since they arent in my ear. They pair well with my Android phone for music and phone calls. I havent had any complaints regarding the mic when used for a phone call. One of the biggest features for me (besides the comfort and sound quality) is the water proof rating. I sweat heavily when exercising and have ruined other sport water resistant earbuds as a result. Many times the speaker or the charging port is the weak link in allowing water access. The magnetic charging used for these is great, no charging ports or port covers to deal with and the speaker drivers are sealed. I have used my pair about a year? without any issue. I am completely satisfied with these headphones and impressed with the build quality, comfort and sound. I would recommend these to anyone!

> 3 dayIt served me well for over two years, even music playback was surprisingly nice. Unfortunately a few days ago, fresh out of the warranty period, the right earpiece on my Aeropex started rattling. I could deal with it if that was all, but the rattling inside causes an extremely unpleasant resonance, not unlike nails on a chalkboard, when the unit beeps - which happens whenever I press any of the buttons. Ill need to implement a DIY fix that will undoubtedly impact sound quality from the right side, and possibly mic input.
