Hi friends, A big thanks to all those who responded to this thread. My last question regarding this aftershokz bone conduction headphones is, is it safe to use it for long periods of time, say for 2 or 3 hours at a stretch? in other words, Are there any side effects or cautions that we have to be aware of while using these headphones for long periods of time? As I mentioned my main purpose to use them will be for listening to long lectures, audio books etc. Thanks again, Rishi -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of manis...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2018 1:55 AM To: 'AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.' <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Cc: rishi.kewalram...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] Aftershokz wired headphones recommendation please...
I use the wireless aftershocks almost everyday for almost everything from conference calls to working on the computer to listening to soundscape/google maps and they work great Of late, the Bluetooth connectivity with the IPhone has been flaky specially if you have several apps trying to control volume of audio. The most problems I have are with skype on the phone. Even with this, I recommend these as much as I can. They are indispensable. Their warranty is also very good. I have broken 4 of these and have had all of them replaced for no charge very promptly. The breaking was not because of poor build quality but because of my very heavy and rough use. -Manish -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia <accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in> On Behalf Of Kartik Sawhney Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2018 10:38 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Cc: rishi.kewalram...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] Aftershokz wired headphones recommendation please... I second everything Vivek said. I've been using them for quite a while now too, and they work great.
