AFTERSHOKZ Trekz Titanium Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones Bluetooth Sweatproof Earphones with Mic for Sports, Black

Product Information

The ‘phonez have the usual micro USB port, under a rubbery cap that protects it from the elements. A short USB cable is supplied (since you don’t already have enough of those…).

Sounds over 80 decibel (dB) can start to damage hearing. Sounds over 120 dB immediately damage hearing. The severity of the damage depens on how often and how long the sound is present. And one ear of sound is not ideal, whether listening to the podcast (I tend to listen to people talking rather than singing) or listening out for other road users. Interestingly, there are ear plugs also included, which you can use to improve sound quality. It’s similar to what Shokz does with its swim-proof headphones, and it certainly has the desired effect of providing something more rewarding. You just have to be willing to plug your ears up, which does pretty much defeat the purpose of open ear headphones. However, the skinnier, bendy frame did have us questioning the durability. There’s always been a bit of a question mark over how robust Shokz headphones are long term, and we’ve actually had some break on us in the past. The Trekz Air(s) are supremely comfortable. There is no real weight to the headphones as the loops rest above your ears and the vibratey bits gently grip your skull. I tend to forget I have them on, particularly when worn with my helmet.However, the first thing to suffer when you put a headphone outside the ear is bass. So the Titanium are bone conduction headphones, essentially sending the vibrations from low-frequency sound into the top of the wearer’s cheekbones on their way to the cochlea in the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum. You may or may not like this sensation. Per my sub-heading, it is a slightly strange feeling, but one I’ve got used it. If we’re talking about sound quality, then the OpenRun don’t go leaps and bounds beyond they're predecessors, though they do show some subtle improvements, particularly in terms of clarity and bass. The downside of the extra bass is that you don't just hear it – you can also feel it as a more noticeable buzz against your face that pulses with each beat. All bone conduction headphones produce this effect to some degree at high volumes, but it's particularly noticeable with the OpenRun Pro. My sense is that they’re not too bad. I’ve not had any comments from wife or kids as I’ve worn then about the house.

I can't change the language of AUDREY, I would like French; How to do ? I tried to apply the indicated process, but it is still a language that I do not understand that is spoken; Thank you please There’s none of this faff with the Trekz. Once they’re on and in position, no further adjustment is needed. 100% better. So What Is The Sound Like? Perhaps once or twice so far it has rubbed slightly against the plastic helmet strappy bit that grips the base of my skull. This is certainly not enough to be annoying. I’d have preferred the charging point to be located on the left-hand side, since the right feels cluttered. In addition, the rubber flap that covers the Micro USB point feels very much like the volume buttons when you’re blindly fumbling for the controls.While it is off, press and hold the power button for more than 5 seconds until the power light is flashing and then press the function button 2 times and the language will change (they are about 5 of which are not Spanish). However, whilst I am many things, I am not an audiophile. (I said audiophile). I don’t know my Bangs from my sons (sens) of Oluf. I supBose (yawn) I could do some research. My aftershokz earphones suddenly don't charge anymore. Light blinks neither blue nor red. I've already tried different types of charging cables and no difference. What could be the problem? So this is one thing that I’ve struggled to test: whether other people can hear you using the Aftershokz Trekz (i.e. because not all the sound is going into your lugholes). Soooo… you now know that (1) the place to mention it is right here; and (2) that the Trekz are rechargeable. You don’t need to keep replacing batteries (who does that these days…?).

My deficient hearing makes telephone conversation difficult. I am a keen cyclist but one of the 11 million in the UK with some form of hearing loss – I’d guess mine is in the worst 3 million. Reply The solution, a set of headphones that don’t go in your ears, leaving your lugholes free to sense the white van rapidly approaching your rear end. My Aftershokz no longer turns on, even though it has been fully charged and is less than 6 months old. I haven't handled it since my last use (it stayed on my desk), and it's the 2nd device that does this to me :(((. All AfterShokz headphones are water-resistant, meaning they can handle rain or sweat. However not all models are suited for swimming or showering. They’re not the most comfortable headphones in the world, however – I wish the material was a little more supple, for instance; and they’re pricey for headphones that you can’t use all the time. But otherwise, these are great headphones for cyclists and runners alike.If you're not sold on bone conduction headphones and simply need a way to listen to music as you run or workout, then take a look at the Beats PowerBeats Pro instead. They offer a fantastic and comfortable fit—even when you're pounding the pavement—and great sound. There is undeniably plenty of room for things to get better as that bone conduction tech improves, both in bass and clarity, but the differences between the Trekz Air and the OpenRun are noticeable.
