subject:"Aftershokz"

but can you switch between two devices without having to turn off/turn
on the devices?

Yes, you can. If you check out the link I previously posted, there are
instructions for enabling multi-point pairing. Once two devices are paired,
they cannot both transmit audio at the same time, but when one isn't being
used, the other will be.

This might sound like a stupid question, but when you listen to music,
books or just a screen reader using this headset, can other people hear
what you're listening to when they are close; on the bus/train for example?

The question is not stupid. If you are in a very quiet environment, there
will be some sound leakage, but not much at all. On a bus or train, there
isn't really any sound leakage. I wear these in the office, and people
around me can't hear anything.

Please, where can I hear how the microphone sounds?

I demonstrated these on a podcast episode a few months ago. The easiest way
to get to the content is to check out the YouTube video, and to skip to
about 31 minutes into the video, as the first part of the video is
dedicated to the Samsung S21 Ultra. The link to the YouTube version is at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFKo_RiUUcc

Hello Cristóbal,

I am surprised to hear you say this about the OpenComm. The mic
quality is quite decent, actually, and they are far from being quiet.
I've actually used them to record a number of podcasts on my YouTube
channel, which have turned out quite fine. I also use them daily for
phone calls and, again, they work quite well.

As for muting a call, you can certainly mute a call. You need to press
both volume buttons once, and a call will be muted. Please see

Hi,

I find the Open Comm head band to be very comfortable, more so
than the band on my Trex Titanium. Just how flexible it is I can't
say for sure as I did not need to try to alter it.

I think the microphone does deliver a better result than other
models. It is at the end of a pivoting boom arm and thus is closer
to your mouth. The boom arm also contains a secondd microphone
which is used to do some noise cancellation functions. This really
helps deliver a clear vocal input signal when you are in a loud or

Hello Maria,

I am personally a fan of the Aftershokz OpenComm headset,
simply because it is similar to their other headsets,
particularly the Aeropex, with an added boom mic, which
greatly enhances the experience for phone calls. Their last
few generations have included multi-pairing, and this includes
the OpenComm.

Thanks.

2021-11-05 Thread Dave Clement

Hi, 

I have to agree with the others here. I have had very good results with the 
Open Comm and those I called all said they could hear me fine. To confirm this, 
I called two people using both the Open Comm and my Trex Titanium and they both 
said it was much clearer with the Open Comm. 

At first, it did take me a bit to realize that the boom actually turns from 
back to front. When I first got them, the boom arm was turned back to lay along 
the side of the Open Comm. I had to rotate the boom arm to come around to the 
front and then all went well. I'm wondering if perhaps you tried them with the 
boom arm still turned back on itself. This would have put the microphone back 
behind your ear and would have produced a poor signal. Just a thought.  
Otherwise, perhaps you ended up with a defective set.

Hello Maria,

 

I am personally a fan of the Aftershokz OpenComm headset, simply because it is 
similar to their other headsets, particularly the Aeropex, with an added boom 
mic, which greatly enhances the experience for phone calls. Their last few 
generations have included multi-pairing, and this includes the OpenComm.

 

Thanks.

Does any model have multipoint function, so that I can have paired two

Thank you for your help in advance.

Re: AfterShokz headset question

2021-11-05 Thread Dave Clement

Hi, 

I find the Open Comm head band to be very comfortable, more so than the band on 
my Trex Titanium. Just how flexible it is I can't say for sure as I did not 
need to try to alter it. 

I think the microphone does deliver a better result than other models. It is at 
the end of a pivoting boom arm and thus is closer to your mouth. The boom arm 
also contains a secondd microphone which is used to do some noise cancellation 
functions. This really helps deliver a clear vocal input signal when you are in 
a loud or noisy environment.

RE: AfterShokz headset question

Nimer, or anyone else,
Is the OpenComm headphones any more adjustable than the Aeropex?  My head is 
slightly too large to where the aeropex comfortably.

It sounds like the microphone is a huge improvement in these.

Re: AfterShokz Aeropex headphones

2021-03-10 Thread Devin Prater

For a full list of controls, see the guides at:


https://help.aftershokz.com/hc/en-us/sections/360004978914-Aeropex

Aditionally, the multi-device pairing works on the Aeropex as well. I
believe you hold down the multi-function button and the volume down
button while in pairing mode to turn it on or off. It's a pretty great
pair of headphones, and don't throw away your earplugs like I did! If
you turn on the Bass Boost mode, it sounds even better!

I thought the buttons were on the right, but in any case, I think you hold the

speak the battery level and say pairing.

Or, hold in the volume button in the middle for several seconds.

Re: AfterShokz Aeropex headphones

2021-03-10 Thread Nimer Jaber

Hello,

You actually have two buttons on the right, a volume up and down. The
volume up has a slight bump. You need to hold this button down for a few
seconds until the headset begins to speak. The one on the left side is for
answer/end calls.

Thanks.

I was originally very interested in the Bose

wouldn't last a whole day of normal every day 
use like making and receiving several phone 
calls, occasional streaming, and frequent Siri 
usage. I don't mind recharging every night but 
running out of battery during the day would be a 
deal breaker for me. I wear sun glasses every day for several hours a day.




What has been your experience in terms of 
battery life? I'd be interested in anyone else's 
experience regarding the Bose Tempo Frames.

Yeah they are the first to be released 

The tenor are a better fit but still I could suggest some changes for them,
 But again if people are wanting to check them out,
I highly recommend trying the different models out before you buy.

I have the Bose frames alto and absolutely like their sound. I wouldn't 
recommend them though, as the glasses don't fit very well and look very 
cheapish. Battery life could be better as well. So I guess the frames tempo 
will be a choice for me one day.

Betreff: Bose earphones,, was about Aftershokz

I’ve pasted the previous thread below, but as the conversation has moved over 
to talking about Bose, started a new thread.

The Bose site says the Tempos get 8 hours of active use.

I was originally very interested in the Bose Tempos but held back due to fear 
that they just wouldn't last a whole day of normal every day use like making 
and receiving several phone calls, occasional streaming, and frequent Siri 
usage. I don't mind recharging every night but running out of battery during 
the day would be a deal breaker for me. I wear sun glasses every day for 
several hours a day.

 

What has been your experience in terms of battery life? I'd be interested in 
anyone else's experience regarding the Bose Tempo Frames.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

2021-01-11 Thread Simon A Fogarty

Tempo have an 8 hour battery life,
Tenor have a 5 hour battery life.

As for size,
No real size difference but the shape is different,
The tempo wrap around the face / eyes and have a longer arm which wraps back 
further around the head so they are more secure on your face while you wear 
them if exercising / running / cycling etc.

And the tenors are more straight across the face  with a slight bend in them to 
cover the eye,

Really it comes down to 
Tempo is a sportie model,
Tenor is a fashion accessorie

Yeah don't have those issues but the only thing that hasn't worked for me is 
Hey siri unless I hold the button on the phone or the phone to my face,

 But I do get a couple of phone calls and playing media out of the frames in a

AW: Bose earphones,, was about Aftershokz

2021-01-11 Thread Alexandra

I have the Bose frames alto and absolutely like their sound. I wouldn't 
recommend them though, as the glasses don't fit very well and look very 
cheapish. Battery life could be better as well. So I guess the frames tempo 
will be a choice for me one day.

Ther are several models and Amazon is the best resource.

They are not very good for music if you want a quality sound.
They are primarily designed for people doing things outdoors so they can 
hear their surroundings.
They are marketed to runners, joggers, and other outdoor activities where 
being aware of your surroundings is important.
After they were out for a while, they were made aware that they can also 
help visually impaired people stay safe when walking outdoors.


The last I heard the Aeropex were their most recent model with 8 hours of 
battery life, but someone just mentioned one with 16 hours of talk time.
Just be sure if you buy some to try out, you have time to return them for 
a refund if they don't work for you.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

2021-01-11 Thread rick.alfaro

I was originally very interested in the Bose Tempos but held back due to fear 
that they just wouldn't last a whole day of normal every day use like making 
and receiving several phone calls, occasional streaming, and frequent Siri 
usage. I don't mind recharging every night but running out of battery during 
the day would be a deal breaker for me. I wear sun glasses every day for 
several hours a day.

What has been your experience in terms of battery life? I'd be interested in 
anyone else's experience regarding the Bose Tempo Frames.







Warmest regards

Rick Alfaro

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

No actually I can't say which one I like better as thee sound  is pretty much 
identical and I don't have them on for long enough to worry about the battery 
life dying on me.

So each one has it's moments,
Such as if it's raining or I'm out walking I'll use the tempo's if it's sunny 
I'll go with the tenors.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

Yeah I skipped over the alto,
And got the tenor and the tempo and I do love them.

I've just walked home from own listening to Tool, 
Most people would say it's careless but hey so long as I'm able to hear traffic 
I'm ok.

JustWonderin':
Would Bose's BoseFrames be a  Possible solution 
for this? MyRecommendation would be to give Bose's BoseFrames Tempo a  Try


Bose's  BoseFrames Tempo is an Audio SunGlasses 
that provide QualitySound WithOut 
IN-the-Ear  that Allow its Users to Hear

Ther are several models and Amazon is the best resource.

They are not very good for music if you want a quality sound.
They are primarily designed for people doing 
things outdoors so they can hear their surroundings.
They are marketed to runners, joggers, and other 
outdoor activities where being aware of your surroundings is important.
After they were out for a while, they were made 
aware that they can also help visually impaired 
people stay safe when walking outdoors.


The last I heard the Aeropex were their most 
recent model with 8 hours of battery life, but 
someone just mentioned one with 16 hours of talk time.
Just be sure if you buy some to try out, you 
have time to return them for a refund if they don't work for you.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

Everyone is different,
There will be some that work and some that don’t.

The issue really sits in not being able to try them out before you buy them.

If you can try before you buy then you can get a better idea of how they fit

Hi kay,
Complain all you wish.  I don’t like them because they don’t fit on my head and 
the sound quality is truly only best for speech, and yes, you can hear them if 
you are close to a person wearing them.
It is tricky getting them on the bone in front of your ear.  Maybe if I didn’t 
have sideburns and not quite as fat of a head, they’d be better.

HI Richard,
This is not a complaint, just the facts.  I have never gotten any kind of the 
Aftershokz to work for me.  I have had people show me the best ways to wear 
them and still not good.  If I put the pads right over my ears, then no 
problem.  But that is not how they are supposed to work.  I just laugh and tell 
people that I am not bone headed enough.  Then you have people that say there 
is no sound loss with them but yet I can stand next to them when they are 
wearing them and hear what they are listening to.  Just for me, and in my 
opinion they don't work.

Hello,

I've tried a number of different ones, but the Aftershokz were the best in 
terms of audio quality, sound leakage, and comfort. I use the Aeropex, and find 
them to be the best ones yet.

Thanks.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

My older brother who doesn’t have sight issues just purchased a pair of the 
newest after shockz headphones and he loves them when out in the garden or 
cycling / running

I myself purchased a set of bose tenor frames which I love and in my mind work 
better than the after shockz,

They have great sounds  for both voice including phone calls and or listening 
to voiceover from my phone and also music while I’m walking around the city or 
out in the quieter parts of town.

There is also the bose tempo frames as well which are more of a wrap around 
sports shades with a better battery life and an as good sound quality

The only problem really with the bose frames is the cost at twice the price of 
the after shockz
Although the NZ pricing is double what the price is in the usA.

  I disagree, and believe that some bluetooth headphones sound better than 
others on a call. The Plantronics 5200 and prior generations sound pretty good. 
If you get a headset from blueparrot, you'll find that their microphones are 
great, and those tend to be used by truckers. I mean, call quality depends on 
your carrier and whether or not you are on an HD call, as well as on the phone 
in question, but some headsets are better than others to be sure.

I have noticed an issue with the Aftershokz Trekz Air on Zoom calls, as

  The only trouble is that the microphones on the Aftershokz is passable at 
best, not what I would call high quality, so sometimes, your speech may not be 
understood, but most of the time, it's fine.

I’ve got a 7” 3/8 noggin and for me, the Aeropex are way way more comfortable 
than previous models. Lighter, more flexible and over all, a better fit. Not a 
perfect fit, but better than the Trekz, Titanium or Bluez. I’ve come across 
other bone conduction headsets online, but the Aftershokz line seems to be the 
gold standard in this space. The Aeropex don’t seem to vibrate as much as the 
Trekz, but being bone conduction, it’s not like you should expect high fidelity 
sound or anything. It’s just impossible with this technology. I use these bad 
boys all day throughout the day and for working out. Microphone for calls is at 
best adequate and dictation can be an exercise in frustration too. But, 
tradeoffs and all that. These are the headphones I use most over all.

Hi Nimer,

What are the diffeerences between the Aero Trekz and the Aeropex?  I know I can 
read about the differences but, I'm asking from a personal opinion standpoint.  
I'm currently using the Trekz model and just curious if they're more 
comfortable, sound differences.

Re: Alternatives to AfterShokz bone conduction

I disagree, and believe that some bluetooth headphones sound better than
others on a call. The Plantronics 5200 and prior generations sound pretty
good. If you get a headset from blueparrot, you'll find that their
microphones are great, and those tend to be used by truckers. I mean, call
quality depends on your carrier and whether or not you are on an HD call,
as well as on the phone in question, but some headsets are better than
others to be sure.

Re: Alternatives to AfterShokz bone conduction

2021-01-10 Thread Andy Baracco

I own several models of bluetooth headsets and ear buds, and i would say that 
your audio on a call sucks with all of them.  I think that the Aftershokz audio 
is as good or better than most, at least as far as how you sound to others on a 
call.

I have noticed an issue with the Aftershokz Trekz Air on Zoom calls, as folks 
tell me that my audio starts good but then drops out.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

Hi kay,
Complain all you wish.  I don't like them because they don't fit on my head and 
the sound quality is truly only best for speech, and yes, you can hear them if 
you are close to a person wearing them.
It is tricky getting them on the bone in front of your ear.  Maybe if I didn't 
have sideburns and not quite as fat of a head, they'd be better.

This is not a complaint, just the facts.  I have never gotten any kind of the 
Aftershokz to work for me.  I have had people show me the best ways to wear 
them and still not good.  If I put the pads right over my ears, then no 
problem.  But that is not how they are supposed to work.  I just laugh and tell 
people that I am not bone headed enough.  Then you have people that say there 
is no sound loss with them but yet I can stand next to them when they are 
wearing them and hear what they are listening to.  Just for me, and in my

HI Richard,
This is not a complaint, just the facts.  I have never gotten any kind of 
the Aftershokz to work for me.  I have had people show me the best ways to 
wear them and still not good.  If I put the pads right over my ears, then no 
problem.  But that is not how they are supposed to work.  I just laugh and 
tell people that I am not bone headed enough.  Then you have people that say 
there is no sound loss with them but yet I can stand next to them when they 
are wearing them and hear what they are listening to.  Just for me, and in 
my opinion they don't work.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

Ther are several models and Amazon is the best resource.

They are not very good for music if you want a quality sound.
They are primarily designed for people doing things outdoors so they can hear 
their surroundings.
They are marketed to runners, joggers, and other outdoor activities where being 
aware of your surroundings is important.
After they were out for a while, they were made aware that they can also help 
visually impaired people stay safe when walking outdoors.

The last I heard the Aeropex were their most recent model with 8 hours of 
battery life, but someone just mentioned one with 16 hours of talk time.
Just be sure if you buy some to try out, you have time to return them for a 
refund if they don't work for you.

Yes, the first sound is cut off, unfortunately, with the Aeropex, and so far as

Hello.

 

I’ve recently been on the hunt for either bone conduction or audio glasses to 
use with my iPhone 12 pro and VO. I just returned a pair of Echo Frames. They 
were actually quite good and I would have kept them but battery life was dismal 
only going for a few hours, nowhere near a full day of useage. 

 

I just received and have been using the Aftershokz Open

Comm. Although they have several different models now, I got the OpenComm due 
to their longer talk time of 16 hours. They are pretty good but with a couple 
of issues.

 

1.  Using the multi function button to involk siri doesn’t work although 
the button work fine for other functions.
2.  The first part of a word is often cut off, maybe some sort of battery 
saving logic.

I’m wondering if you have run into either one of these issues with the AeroPex 
model? 

 

I’d appreciate any thoughts on this. I’ve already done things like forgetting 
and re-pairing the headset and also have done a reset as well. Unfortunately 
not working with Siri is a deal breaker for me but I really like the headset 
otherwise so am terying to see if there is anything I can do to get it working 
properly. Aftershokz support thus far has not responded to me regarding these 
issues.

RE: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

2021-01-10 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz

I’ve got a 7” 3/8 noggin and for me, the Aeropex are way way more comfortable 
than previous models. Lighter, more flexible and over all, a better fit. Not a 
perfect fit, but better than the Trekz, Titanium or Bluez. I’ve come across 
other bone conduction headsets online, but the Aftershokz line seems to be the 
gold standard in this space. The Aeropex don’t seem to vibrate as much as the 
Trekz, but being bone conduction, it’s not like you should expect high fidelity 
sound or anything. It’s just impossible with this technology. I use these bad 
boys all day throughout the day and for working out. Microphone for calls is at 
best adequate and dictation can be an exercise in frustration too. But, 
tradeoffs and all that. These are the headphones I use most over all.

Don’t know the difference because I don’t have the Trekx and just got my 
Aeropix the day before yesterday. I am quite pleased with them after being so 
disappointed with the Titanium model, They are softer and more flexible, have 
much better sound and microphone and I love the magnetic charging cables 
included. I was considering trying the Bose Frames and realize they would have 
better sound but these will work quite well for me and over $100 less.

Hi Nimer,

 

What are the diffeerences between the Aero Trekz and the Aeropex?  I know I can 
read about the differences but, I'm asking from a personal opinion standpoint.  
I'm currently using the Trekz model and just curious if they're more 
comfortable, sound differences.

 


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Yes, the first sound is cut off, unfortunately, with the Aeropex, and so
far as I know, this has been the case for Aftershokz products for the past

RE: Alternatives to AfterShokz bone conduction

2021-01-10 Thread rick.alfaro

Hello.

 

I’ve recently been on the hunt for either bone conduction or audio glasses to 
use with my iPhone 12 pro and VO. I just returned a pair of Echo Frames. They 
were actually quite good and I would have kept them but battery life was dismal 
only going for a few hours, nowhere near a full day of useage. 

 

I just received and have been using the Aftershokz Open

Comm. Although they have several different models now, I got the OpenComm due 
to their longer talk time of 16 hours. They are pretty good but with a couple 
of issues.

 

1.  Using the multi function button to involk siri doesn’t work although 
the button work fine for other functions.
2.  The first part of a word is often cut off, maybe some sort of battery 
saving logic.

I’m wondering if you have run into either one of these issues with the AeroPex 
model? 

 

I’d appreciate any thoughts on this. I’ve already done things like forgetting 
and re-pairing the headset and also have done a reset as well. Unfortunately 
not working with Siri is a deal breaker for me but I really like the headset 
otherwise so am terying to see if there is anything I can do to get it working 
properly. Aftershokz support thus far has not responded to me regarding these 
issues.

 

 

 

Warmest regards

Re: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

The Trekz Air were a bit bigger and a bit less comfortable for longer
periods. Also, the audio just wasn't as clear and lacked a bit more base.
The aeropex are great at noise isolation, they vibrate less, are lighter on
the head, the band is narrow and flexible, and I am a fan of the magnetic
charger cables rather than micro USB.

Thanks.

Re: Alternatives to Aftershokz bone conduction

2021-01-10 Thread Mike B

Hi Nimer,

What are the diffeerences between the Aero Trekz and the Aeropex?  I know I 
can read about the differences but, I'm asking from a personal opinion 
standpoint.  I'm currently using the Trekz model and just curious if they're 
more comfortable, sound differences.


Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

Hello,


I've tried a number of different ones, but the Aftershokz were the best in 
terms of audio quality, sound leakage, and comfort. I use the Aeropex, and 
find them to be the best ones yet.


Thanks.
