I accidently broke one side on my aftershokz and now they are even better. Honestly, if you're going to use your aftershokz while walking around listening to a GPS, I highly recommend breaking one side.

I would go AirPods myself but for the cool factor.  On top of that, you could 
always remove one or the other if traveling and you need both environment 
sounds and audio.  I’ve gotten used to traveling with a single bluetooth 
earpiece so can function with one year more blocked than the other.  You also 
have no wires so if traveling you’ll have an easier time, less tangling etc.  
You stand the risk of dropping one and losing it, that’s a down side.  I think 
though I’d go AirPods for the cleanness of it and the ability to pair with all 
my devices as you mentioned.

Hi all,
I'm very drawn by the AirPods, but over the years, I've come to love Aftershokz 
headsets. This is mainly because of their bone conduction, leaving my ears 
totally open even with media playing. It's far easier to hear what's around me 
with Aftershokz, and the new generation is great at sound quality and bluetooth 
connection. In short, I'm very happy with Aftershokz... But having AirPods 
would be even better in some ways.

I could switch the AirPods from device to device, great if I'm working on my 
phone and Mac, or want to rock some music from my Watch. They're smaller, 
meaning I don't need to wear something around my neck when not in use like 
Aftershokz. I believe AirPods have better sound, so don't go into the terrible, 
phone call-like audio quality when dictating or using Siri that Aftershokz do. 
I can check the battery level right on iOS, and the batter will last longer if 
you count quick charges with the case.

I'm torn. I guess my main question for AirPods users is this: how are they for 
sounds you need to hear? Do they block your ears enough to be a problem, or are 
they good at being not in the way? Do you find yourself taking one or both out 
at times? Do you use Aftershokz since getting the AirPods, assuming you have 
that option? Thanks for your thoughts. Again, I know the features and drawbacks 
of both from a technical perspective, but not a user-facing one. I know about 
playback controls, how small each Pod is, and all that. I need to know how each 
unit is in the real world for a blind user. Thanks.
