AftershokzAir Bone Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Reflective Strips, Slate Grey

I've had many different earphones, earbuds, and headsets over the years and these are the best for what I wanted.While I was an over the road truck driver I went through 5 different sets of headphones until a fellow driver recommended these. The primary thing that I use them for is phone conversations and listening to audio books but do also listen to music. I've got a slight hearing deficiency and have tinnitus quite bad so trying to make out words is sometimes difficult especially if there is background noise.Things that I like about them:They don't cover your ears so you can still hear everything that's going on around you. Since the sound is transmitted directly to your Cochlea so it's almost like another "channel" that you're hearing. Very weird but it really works! And, I don't have to have the volume as high as I did with other headphones. I can hear the sounds better/clearer and background noise doesn't interfere. In fact, I can still pay attention to the other sounds while not loosing what's coming from the headphones. Another benefit is that's a crucial safety concern when driving!Having tinnitus is a very annoying pain it the #$$. I can hear the ringing in my ears almost constantly. One thing about these headphones is that while listening to music I don't seem to notice my tinnitus! It's not gone, it's just unnoticed. It's not the same as with in ear or over ear headphones. Again, I think that is because the sound/vibrations are bypassing the eardrum and going straight to the Cochlea. (I don't mean to say that these headphones cure tinnitus! They don't! They just seem to distract from it. At least for me.)I do a lot of ATV riding and while doing that I like to listen to music. With these I can do that and leave them in place when I stop to talk to other riders not having to remove earbuds, etc. I just turn the volume lower and can have a normal conversation. While riding at higher speed I do have to turn them up all the way but can still hear the music just fine. Having them at full volume is a little annoying as the vibrations are pretty intense so I don't leave them up that high too long. Oh, and listening to music,,, I can now make out some lyrics that I've missed in the past!Lastly, wearing them is extremely comfortable! At least for me it is. Very light and I don't get sweaty from them. The only thing I notice sometimes after wearing them for several hours is a slight discomfort on the tops of my ears.What's not to like:If you're an audiophile, these probably aren't for you if you're going do be doing any "serious" listening. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality is good, it's just not "perfect". For someone who is very critical and wants top notch sound quality, I really don't think you're going to get that with any bone conductive headphones...The sound quality of phone conversations is excellent on the wearer's end but mediocre on the receiving end. My wife and daughter also have these so I've heard them when they're using them and it's not bad, but it's just not great.Bottom line:I love these and have recommended them to several family members and friends and haven't had anyone that I've recommended them to come back with anything negative to say!

Best headset I have used so far and I have tried a lot of them to get here :)

I've been a bone conduction user for almost 2 years now. First I started with some no name Amazon ones, they were comfortable, but didn't have enough volume for noisy environments.I'm an aircraft mechanic and there are helicopters running and taking off just outside the hangar door.Even with foam earplugs in, the no name brand was not loud enough to hear my music.Next I bought Tekz titanium by aftershokz, they had plenty of volume and could still be heard with helicopters running, but they're not as comfortable.My employer is an air medical provider, and I have to wear a mask at work. Over time my ears have been easier to irritate from the elastic and the headphones ridding behind them.I couldn't just stop wearing my shokz because I also have four conference calls a week to participate in, and my shokz keep my meetings from being heard or distracting other employees from their work.I bought these aftershokz airs because they have the same curved ear bows as my original no name headset and those never had a real pressure point behind my ears.The airs have not irritated my ears, and have the same volume and sound as the titaniums, without seeming to buzz on louder or deep notes like the titaniums could sometimes.The microphone and noise cancelling software does a very good job in a sometimes noisy hangar when I'm on my conference calls, it only seems to struggle with wind noise, but turning my head until the noise abates, and also putting my hand over the ear piece seems to reduce it enough for callers to no longer complain.The controls are easy to operate and easy to find by touch. My no name headset had three tiny buttons that had nothing to help distinguish between them, aftershokz makes their buttons feel different by touch, since one has a bump on it. Making volume up and down easy to distinguish.The answer button is easy to find, and works flawlessly.I usually wear my shokz all day at work, and charge them in the car. I find they normally are ready to also go for an hour or two of exercise after work on my rowbike, my mountain bike, gravel bike, inline skates, kayaks or cross country skis.The open ear feature of bone conduction allows me to enjoy nature, hear approaching vehicles or faster riders, which is good for safety, while enjoying my music in the background.It's like a radio playing in the background, but can quickly be stopped by a simple tap if I want, and just as easily restarted.I've worn earbuds for years at work, but hated not hearing someone talking to me, my last employer didn't allow headphones for safety, but let me wear one earbud at a time, as long as one ear was open. These would have been better because both ears would have been open.I just sold my friend on a pair of these, he wears two hearing aids and still struggles with hearing people. I saw a display in the store, so I put the demonstration pair on him and turned the music on.He couldn't believe how good the music sounded, and that I could still talk to him while he listened to the music.They did not interfere with his hearing aids, which most headphones do he told me.He was excited to try them out for phone calls, since his wife complains about how loud he turns up the volume on his speakers when she's in the truck with him, or he's on a zoom meeting with his laptop.He's on one of my conferences each week, and was impressed when I told him that's how I join the meeting and share each week.
