Q: can a behind the ear hearing aid be worn with these bone conducion ear phones
A: Yes! I wear the over-the-ear hearing aids. I am almost totally deaf on one side, and have reduced hearing on the other side. The unit sits right in front of the behind-the-ear inputs and literally channels the sound into the hearing aids as well as through the bone. They are amazing! I lost the hearing on one side virtually overnight (Meniere's Disease), and yesterday I heard music in stereo for the first time in 5 years.
Q: Can I wear these while swimming laps & will they connect to my iPhone music with Bluetooth?
A: This is definitely not waterproof. I was able to swim laps…and as long as my head was not submerged it was ok. But when I tried to charge them later…short circuit…only to google that these are not waterproof (my original intent in buying these was to swim laps).
Q: Can these be used in conjuction with ear plugs ( db blockers)? Will you be able to hear good?
A: Better than good EXCELLENT actually
Q: Is there a way to adjust the shape/size of the band that goes behind your head?
A: No. Whichever model you choose has a set band size. However, there is the regular Open Ear and the Open Ear Mini. If you're petite, the Open Ear Mini might be a good option. However, the standard size fits most people just fine.
A: I can only connect one device at a time. If my phone (Samsung) is connected, the tablet (Samsung) will NOT connect.
A: It doesn’t work as a hearing aid because it will only deliver whatever sound, music, voices etc, are being streamed via Bluetooth. Ambient sounds and voices are not amplified like a hearing aid. Hope that helps!
A: It has a built in microphone!

My review is based on MY needs for headphones. My airpods died and needed to replace them, and wasn't entirely happy with them. (battery life was terrible, etc). I was very skeptical about buying the Aeropex after reading some reviews, but realized the bad reviews looked to be people who bought these prior to doing any sort of research. If you want extreme bass, these are not for you. If you want noise cancellation or to NOT hear your surroundings, these are not for you. I use these for running/exercising. I expected the sound to be soft, and maybe even a little uncomfortable to wear, but couldn't have been more happy with them. They are very lightweight and don't even notice there are on, they are plenty loud for my needs - i want to hear my surroundings and my music, and these are perfect for that. Others wondered how they would fit with sunglasses or a hat, I live in FL and always run with sunglasses and a hat and doesn't get in the way at all. Whether I'm running by cars, in the woods, or on the beach, its great to be able to hear everything around me. If you want to block out the noise, they do come with ear plugs (which will also make the music louder if used). I have not used them for phone calls, and couldn't care less how the mic worked because that's not why I bought these. 8 hour battery life is also a huge plus because on my long runs, my airpods would eventually die before my run ended (and the battery slowly diminished after a year like typical apple products, and wouldn't replace or fix the issue) - The aeropex also come with a 2 year warranty

The good: Great sound, even in noisy areas. Plugging your ears actually just makes the sound louder and clearer. Generally comfortable. With nothing to stuff in my ears, there's nothing to irritate my ears. I often forget they are there. The not so good: The only thing that keeps them from being perfect is the band does not adjust. On my head, there is about an inch gap between the back of my head and the band. This becomes an issue when wearing a hat or hoodie or anytime your head has to rest against a surface such as a high backed chair. Also, the charge port is a specialized magnetic cable. I think mine came with 2, home & away. Don't lose them.

Sound quality for music is not top of the line but very good overall especially considering that this is waterproof, I use it at the gym, in the pool, steam room and hot tub. Battery last for days even when I forget to turn it off.
