Weathering both salty sweat and the daily gym-bag battering, Trekz Titaniums are perfect for fitness.

Fast recharge time; Quick; easy equalizer; Great volume range; Sweat-proof fit; Tough construction

Tight on larger heads; Difficult to wear with gear; No previous track command

The Aftershokz Trekz Titanium open ear wireless bone conduction headphones are my first foray into open-ear headphones, so I'll put it out there that I may be missing some portion of the note points to research, but this has been my experience with them.

Cycling while wearing headphones isn't advised. Yet everyday, in the city especially, chances are you'll encounter at least a few cyclists wearing either in-ears or over-ear cans in place of a helmet. Road safety be damned.

Bone conduction works well; Great level of situational awareness; Reasonable battery life

Slightly uncomfortable after prolonged used; Sound leakage; Lacklustre sound quality

If you need your ears free or if you suffer from Tinnitus, these are a great choice for listening to audio.

Keep ears free while listening to audio; Good microphone; Sweat-proof

Bone conduction technology has been around for a while, even before Beethoven pressed his ear against a piano and clasped a rod in his teeth to hear his compositions. But AfterShokz is bringing it mainstream to the active community with the new Trekz Titanium (MSRP $130) wireless headset.

Like many people I commute to work on a bicycle. One of my biggest problems, besides dodging inattentive drivers, is being able to listen to music while still being able to hear traffic around you. I'm pretty much stuck with one option and only one option. A Bluetooth speaker.
