I bought these mostly for mountain biking because I seemed to be crash-prone when wearing earbuds either because of having something shoved into my ear canal was messing with my equilibrium or because of the cognitive disconnect from not being able hear the ground crunching under my tires.

I had high Hope's for this new technology, but I cannot recommend these and in fact in my opinion they should not be sold. I have been diagnosed with vestibular migraines and the vibration of sound from these headphones triggered a full blown vestibular migraine, nausea and dizziness within 5...

Bone conduction technology is great if you want to avoid headphones that enter your ear canal. The sound quality was really good. However, the wrap that goes around the back of the head is rigid and not adjustable, leaving too much space between it and the back of your head.

No

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

Aftershokz' unique bone conduction design has the huge advantage of not covering your ears. The speaker element sits in front of your ear, on your cheekbone, and vibrations generated by the sealed units conduct the sound.

Long runtime; clear sound; quality construction

High price; overwhelmed by wind noise at higher speeds

Truth be told, I haven't reviewed a bone-conduction headphone for several years. The reason for that was the early models I tested from AfterShokz sounded so bad it was hard to recommend them to anyone.

The AfterShokz Trekz Air is a slimmed down bone-conduction headphone that offers improved sound and is very comfortable to wear, leaving your ears open to hear the outside world; It works well as a headset for making cell-phone call and comes with a nice carrying pouch

While the sound quality is improved; it's still not as good as what you'd get from a comparably priced "traditional" headphone

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

Do you exercise or commute in magnificent isolation? Blocking-out ambient noise is the best way to immerse yourself in your music. If you're working out in a gym then that's all fine, but if you're out on a run in an urban environment, or commuting through busy streets and stations, you do actually...

Exacting design; Comfortable & stable fit; Flexible & lightweight; Helps situational awareness

Low volume; Ear 'tickle; Sound quality is lacking; Short battery life

I am a runner and I bought this wireless headphones. They are meant to vibrate on the temple bone but they gives me headaches and I cant hear clear music. Bringing away from the bone to the ears sounds better but the headphone float at the back of the neck moving in rocking motion during exercise.
