AfterShokz - Titanium Wireless Bone Conduction Open-Ear Headphones - Slate

My daughter has bilateral hearing aids. We can use the ear buds but didn’t want to do that as they then wouldn’t pick up surrounding conversations. We got these bone connection headphones and she can hear her music or the tv and still hear me when I call for her or have a conversation about the show. They we’re slightly big so we returned these and got two sets of the mini size. One for her and one for me (I have lots of earrings which make ear buds impossible). Love these!!!

good product, small discomfort behind ears, need to keep it on high volume when talking on the phone or I have to plug my ears to be able to hear, they vibrate on high volume and people are able to hear what I'm listening.

Great headphones, it works for me since I wear a hearing aide. I live the bone conduction.

I purchased the mini version for my daughter for her birthday. She is 5 and was born with bilateral artesia. Basically meaning she has no ear canals. Traditional headphones whether being inner ear or over the head will not work for her because there is no passage for sound to get through her ears. She loves watching her tablet but for her to hear it even with her hearing aids she has to have the volume very loud and it hurts everyone's ears so we make her turn it down. When we hooked up her aftershokz for the first time and connected them to her tablet she wasn't phased. Then as soon as I put them on her head and she realized what was going on she started crying. She wanted to listen to music and dance she was so excited. Her teachers at school think the will come in handy later on when she gets to the age of using computers. I'm so grateful for today's technology and knowing that my daughter will always have access to sound.

I enjoy running or listening to music on my AfterShokz-Trekz Wireless headphones. They are lightweight and durable.

When I saw a friend wearing a pair of Trekz, I was intrigued, so he let me try them out. I'd heard about bone conduction headphones, but had never had the chance to try them. I was impressed by how well they worked! If you're considering these, you shouldn't be evaluating them like you would any other pair of traditional headphones. Due to the way they work, they aren't going to sound as good nor as loud as the better versions of in-ear monitors. But that's not a bad thing, and I'll try to explain. Trekz are marketed to highlight the fact that they don't block up the ear canal like other headphones. This becomes valuable if you're wearing them while running or doing other strenuous activities. From a safety perspective, being able to still hear ambient sounds while listening to your tunes is a definite advantage. It's also oddly satisfying to be able to walk around an office building listening to something while still being able to hear people you pass saying hello to you. You don't feel like you're in a movie with the sound muted. The sound quality of these is quite good. They do lack bass, but that's just because they're getting the sound to your ears using your cheekbones, and not the ear canal. If you want to improve the overall tone of the music, you can plug your ears with the included ear plugs, but that kinda defeats the whole purpose of the Trekz. Yes, they come with ear plugs--it's pretty cool. What I didn't think of right away is how valuable these are as a hands-free headset for phone calls. They feature dual microphones which do a great job of picking up your voice. My wife always complained about other hands-free headsets I've used, but she has no complaints about the Trekz-we can hear each other very clearly. An added bonus is that I can keep them on while driving if I'm waiting for a call, and I don't have to feel like it's annoying to try to listen to the car radio. This has become one of my favorite ways to use these. One of the great things about the Trekz is how easy it is to get a good fit. They slip over your ears and settle in easily right where they belong. They don't pinch the ears and can be worn comfortably for long periods of time. The headband goes around behind the head and is very light and mostly not noticed. The only time I don't like it is when I'm wearing a coat with a high collar, but that's not really a big deal. So, should you buy these or spring for the newer model? Actually, I don't think there's enough improvement to spend 50% more. Do yourself a favor and get these! Oh, one more thing. If you play music with more bass, you'll notice that the Trekz cause you to feel vibrations in your cheekbones and ears. It's pretty annoying, but I'm getting used to it. I think this is really the only major thing against the Trekz, but it's not enough to ruin them. I've found myself enjoying these much more than I thought I would. They're great to use while running, or just around the office. Give them a try!

This product has the highest quality and such a great price you should not pass it up

I picked these headphones because they don't go inside your ear or ear lobe area. Most earphones are not comfortable or ones that sit over your ears are too big. These sit just in front of your ears. I don't think they are actually using your bone to conduct the sound. But they are pretty comfortable and allow you to hear some other surrounding sounds if needed. The band that goes behind your head is a little hard to get used to at first. It is really not a good look with longer hair. I have to pull my hair over the some of it so my hair doesn't stick out all crazy. But overall, I am highly satisfied with them.
