Aftershokz Aeropex Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones
These are the waterproof Bluetooth wireless ones and are normally $249
Bluetooth lag is normally not suitable for gaming, but otherwise the BT part should work fine (aside from mic and audio quality).
I use Bluetooth headphones for exactly that. I can't see any reason why these would not work in the same way as any other pair of Bluetooth headphones.
I've done it via Bluetooth. It's fine.
Yes! I use my aeropex for Zoom meetings.
It's also got multipoint pairing so I have it connected to my phone and computer at the same time.
Me too. Works great. Lenovo P52
It's just a Bluetooth headset with a mic, so yes.
I use these for cycling and is highly preferable to the one headphone in technique I used for many years. Recommended
Agreed, that why I got them, wanted them for cycling, can't use my normal ones as I can't hear what going on around me. These are great for that. Like having a speaker close to you but still able to hear everything that is happening around.
Plus can't wait to try the for swimming I hear they are quite good in the water too.
I also find I don't notice wind rushing when compared to my Sony wireless earphones.
I have hearing aids and can't wear headphones as I want to hear whats going on around me when walking and driving, works great for me! use as a hands free and play music
I love these little stories I run into when browsing the web. Glad you found these and it's working well for you!
Been keen to give these a try.
Sold out via eBay store but still available with same discount at their direct online store:

I have 2 sets of aftershockz the older titanium and the newer Xtrainerz
For swimming only go with the Xtrainerz, has plugless charging and is a sealed unit. It's a standard mp3 player and NO Bluetooth. Who swims with a phone anyway. The clarity on these is amazing. I'm going through the game of thrones books and when either swimming or running it's crystal clear and they never move. I've done over 50 hours in the water with these and never failed to charge unlike other swimming bone conductor types.
The titanium isn't as clear or comfy but still a good product and I got mine 2nd hand for $40 unused.
Thanks for this. As someone that just forked out for Xtrainerz (for swimming), I needed this kind of validation! Also am loving them!
Has anyone tried the < $20 USD bone conduction headphones on Aliexpress? Would like to have a pair, but wouldn't use it enough to justify a $200 purchase
I've been looking into those and similar ones on Amazon. The reviews seem to suggest the cheap ones aren't real bone conduction earphones and are just open earphones.
I bought a cheap pair and found most of the rubber parts came unglued and fell off which laid the speakers bare and made them uncomfortable. I purchased a pair of Aftershock Titanium and loved them so much I bought a second pair, so I always have one on charge. Listening to audiobooks a lot I find I can get most of a day on one pair, and they are comfortable enough that I forget I am wearing them. They look stupid (1 pair is lime green and the other is blue because they were the ones on special) but I don't notice until I look in a mirror and I don't have anyone to impress so…meh. An added bonus is that they are comfortable enough to lie on my side and I can hardly feel them on my head against a pillow. Absolutely the best investment I have made technology wise.
the extra money is well worth it, these are great
Wow, I just stumbled upon a happy discovery: when I placed my earphones down on a desk, it turned the desk into a speaker!
I then tried putting the earphones on different items around the house - the best one so far is an empty glass container with a plastic lid, with the earphones resting on top of the lid. The empty container reverberates and adds bass to the music!
Does anyone know if these can be connected to a PC and used as a comms device in software such as Discord?
