Any chance of the OpenComm going on sale soon?
Really tempted by these but still can't justify the cost.
i wish the band is adjustable so it can be worn flushed next to hair/head - no tangling thingie
i dont mind few grams more in design for example so we can adjust the band lengthI impulse bought these a little while back. They were clearer than expected, much more comfortable than having earbuds in… Just wish I didn't hate running so much
Are these good to use normally also, or only while under water?
I've read these are not recommended for swimming. their model for swimming is the Xtrainerz
Come on rep do your best this price is nothing interesting you will be amazed how easy to sell to ozbargain members as long the price is amazing.
Show, us, 170!
I'd probably bite at that!
are there any retail stores in melbourne that would have these that i can try out?
i have significant hearing loss in my right ear… the eardrum itself is fine but those messages apparently don't make it through to my brain, and i'm wondering whether these would actually work, or would have much the same problem as regular headphones for me :|
i'm not opposed to dropping $200+ on headphones but wouldn't mind knowing a little more certainly what the outcome would be :D
Try a shop that sells bicycles. I'm pretty sure 99 Bikes and Bicycle Superstore sell Aftershokz, but not sure which model ….
i have Menieres disease, the bits of the ear itself seem fine, just more of a signal -> brain issue i believe…
can hear certain frequencies but others are rubbish… might be worth a shot, probably easy enough to resell stuff when it's not going inside your ear :D
I doubt these would help - bone conduction still works on vibrating the ear drum, just by vibrating your body at the right frequency to get the same "sound" from having vibrating air hit your ear drum ("normal" sound).
Having said that, a quick web search turned the following results, so my above statement could be complete bullshit.

You can try some cheaper alternative first on Amazon. They are around $50 and find out does it work for you or not.
I tested the previous model at 99 Bikes a year and a half ago before purchasing from Amazon. They had a little display on the front counter to test out a few of the Aftershokz models. However that was all pre-COVID so not sure if they still have it.
Edit: should probably add that I'm really happy with them and would easily recommend them to any runners or cyclists.
cheers, will check them out.
i rode for years with just a single earbud in my left ear, right ear could hear enough that i could hear cars and general noises but not music anyway… putting 2 earbuds in was reserved for quiet bike paths, heavy traffic zones i'd pop both out… always pondered something like this for cycling so you could hear hazards while listening to musicThis is exactly me too…
Kudos fellow safe cyclist. I almost blow a gasket when I see people riding with can headphones without a helmet on…
@jmartz: I have problems with inner ear although cochlea is fine.
So have 5+ pairs of various Aftershokz as only way I get real Stereo.
Even hearing aids are not as clear.
Use for TV and computer to watch movies via bluetooth .I tried before I brought from a headphone shop as well.. So try a bike shop.
I recommended this to my friend also has hearing loss and he absolutely loves them.
You can try these at 99bikes!
Good luck!
I recently bought a pair of the Aftershokz OpenMove which appear to be the sweet spot in terms of value for money. They are circa $130 and have USB-C charging.
I run approx. 40km a week and have had countless issues with headphones over the years. Sweating means that I can never keep them in my ears and on the odd occasion that I do, they end up giving up due to water damage (regardless of the what the IPX rating is).
For the past fortnight, these have just been brilliant. They are lightweigt, super secure, stay out of the sweaty ears and have caused me no issues so far. I'll report back in next month to let you know if anything changes.
I run with custom moulded canalphones.
For that audio quality.
Not cheap though.
Lower price please
More bass and and an adjustable headband would be amazing
I have two pairs of Aftershokz (different model from these). One of the unexpected upshots has been that people immediately assume that I am hearing impaired, leading to preferntial treatment in public; people let me through doors in front of them; strangers avoid me. Over the course of a week I'm probably saving 5 or more minutes, and I don't even need to mutter to myself anymore.
Srs though, they're quite good but you do look like a dippy.
Big fan of these for running and cycling. Plus work calls so I can claim them as a tax deduction…
Not a huge fan of these for cycling unless riding at slow speeds. Wind noise kills these and the ear plug options makes these sound terrible.
weird one person said big fan another said not huge fan. hmm….
The biggest surprise of bone conduction: other people can hear it. You don't want to be wandering a supermarket or even really be on public transport with one.
really? i thought it transmits the sound through bones, and as it touches our bones meaning only we can hear? something like in the horror movies / telepahy thingie ?
Yeah, that's why I say it's a surprise, I assumed the same thing.
Check it with this far more expensive alternative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJNPB9jvkmg
then they should say this is mini portable speaker that you can hang onto your ears…. what the……. fail product then…..
one review : My friend used to wear these in our Geology class thinking that nobody could possibly hear his music because of its "bone conducting". He'd frequently blast the Doom OST and everyone could hear it loud and clear. We didn't have the heart to tell him cause he was so proud of his high tech bone conduction headphones so we all just went along with it
ok… lucky i havent bought this
This is a bullshit test, having them on your head allows the vibrational energy to dissipate into your skull rather than 100% into the air. You have to turn this up beyond safe listening levels before it starts bleeding sound. Of course there would be some people who have damaged hearing that will do this, but it should be an exception rather than the norm.
@star-ggg: "If I was using these on one side of the couch the person on the other side of the couch could easily tap along with me"
What's bullshit about that?
@DonWilson: It's a bullshit subjective statement. How high is the volume level? How much bass is in the music? What is the level of ambient noise? If you have a dead quiet room with the aftershokz amped up to full at ear damaging levels then yes I can easily imagine that statement being true. If these are the conditions you will be using the product, and you want to avoid having someone hear remnants of your music in a dead quiet room, then no I would not recommend buying this.
@star-ggg: I mean I'd kinda say if any personal sound device with no amplification has a "damage hearing" level you probably shouldn't buy that.
It really depends on how loud you have them turned up, and how quiet your surrounds are. I find having them turned too far up fills my head with too much noise, as you can still hear everything around you.
At a moderate volume, people around me don't even realise I'm wearing them, as I listen to a backing track to their conversation.
True enough but that's also true of any not-in-ear or closed ear option.
Aeropex Mini is a thing, apparently - 0.37" / 9.5mm shorter band for smaller heads. They must mean the Mini version brings the band in that much to your neck; not taken from a circumference measurement, surely.
I learnt about the Aeropex Mini in a follow-up video versus OpenMove, regards the over ear fit and comfort with a congenital deformity where the pinna (external ear) is underdeveloped: Trying the Aftershokz MINI Aeroplex Headphones with a Microtia Ear
Black not on sale? Only blue and grey.
Anyone used these for swimming?
I think you need the xtrainerz for swimming. These are not fully waterproof
Please provide list of 600 worldwide patents. I call your bluff.
I love pemium goods.
