I bought it some time ago at Amazon and if I remember correctly, it was around 
$120, but now just $102.

If you are looking for good noise cancelling, this is not a strong point.

The Plantronics 5200 is a single ear device and the battery life is good for a 
BT headset. I use it often on Zoom calls and everyone says the sound is clear 
and the volume is fine. I also have plenty of volume on my end. There are a few 
different models of this headset and I have the one which can be used with a BT 
dongle and has the charging case.

I have been very pleased with the device and prefer it to any of the 
Aftershockx I have tried, but admit I have not tried the Open Comm model. Tried 
two other Aftershockx and thought the volume too low and the sound quality only 
fair.

As always it is a matter of personal choice.

I tried a pare from Amazon as well as directly from Aftershokz. I’m on the 
phone all day for my business and there were quite a few people who said the 
same. Sounded too far, muffled and in general not close or crisp. My experience 
is similar to this guy’s YouTube review: https://youtu.be/8FLOK_Eymo8 I wanted 
them to work, but for $160, I just wasn’t convinced with the call quality 
feedback I was receiving. It seems call quality and the lack of a mute button 
are common complaints for people who end up returning them. I know there’s a 
janky mute function by pressing multiple buttons etc., but it just feels too 
clunky. A simple dedicated mute button would make a world of difference. 
Especially for a headset that’s marketed for WFH and teleworking in general. 

If you find it works for you, then that’s great. It just wasn’t the case for 
me. I ended up going back to my Plantronics 5200 headset.

But again, as far as fit and comfort, the opencomm feel like they’ve got more 
give than the Aeropex

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.

RE: AfterShokz headset question

[Simon A Fogarty]

Yes I use a voyager 5200 with BT dongle and have the charging box also,

I used this as a headset when working on a service desk with no issues reported 
from contacts or my own reports,

I use it now for zoom calls and no one has trouble hearing me or I them,

Plus with the charging box I get approx. 10 hours of usage of course depending 
on how long i’m on calls.

I love it for these reasons,

And it is as said a single ear device,
With simple controls,

Which allows me to have a second device talking to me in the other ear at the 
same time.

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.

RE: AfterShokz headset question

[scribbles.mn]

The Plantronics 5200 is a single ear device and the battery life is good for a 
BT headset. I use it often on Zoom calls and everyone says the sound is clear 
and the volume is fine. I also have plenty of volume on my end. There are a few 
different models of this headset and I have the one which can be used with a BT 
dongle and has the charging case.

I have been very pleased with the device and prefer it to any of the 
Aftershockx I have tried, but admit I have not tried the Open Comm model. Tried 
two other Aftershockx and thought the volume too low and the sound quality only 
fair.

As always it is a matter of personal choice.

Re: AfterShokz headset question

[Richard Turner]

If one reads what AfterShokz says on their web site, Noise Cancelation happens 
when the boom mic is near the mouth.
My guess is the mic was poorly positioned, hence letting in the background 
sound.

I still think that you should probably give them another shot if you think they

These weren't made to be used in a call center environment, by the way, they 
are intended for use while out and about, for bike riders, for people who need 
to hear what is going on in their environment.

Listen to that review of yours, and you'll see that the quality is pretty

RE: AfterShokz headset question

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I don’t know who said that you can’t mute, but it sure wasn’t me. The process 
that I call janky to mute is my opinion, but I’m not the only one to have the 
same opinion. This is a common theme with feedback from folks who weren’t 
entirely convinced or had gripes about the headset. 

Also, it wasn’t me who said the headset was too quiet. Again, that was the 
feedback I got  from others on the other end of the call. Cell phone to cell 
phone, my iPhone or laptop to cell phones, land line etc. The call quality on 
my end was no different that the Aeropex, but again, folks on the other end had 
trouble hearing me. 

I’m going to pass on giving them an another shot as you suggest since I already 
bought a set from Amazon and directly from AfterShokz as I’d mentioned 
previously. 

To reiterate, I like the concept, the fit was comfortable  and would give them 
another try if and when Aftershokz comes out with version 2.0, but for$160 for 
a headset specifically marketed and “designed” for WFH and other working 
environments, they were and again, for me, just not convincing. Maybe at $80 or 
whatever, sure, but not for $160. 

If you find they work for you though, that’s great.

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.

Cristobal,

I don't know if you watched this video or not, but he did not sound quiet
at all when he reviewed the headset. Moreover, his complaint was that the
headset didn't have noise cancellation, not that the headset was too quiet.

I still think that you should probably give them another shot if you think
they are too quiet. In no situation are they too quiet.

As for the mute function, it is a press of two buttons, nothing janky about
them. I can understand that you might want a single button, but saying that
they cannot mute is just wrong.

These weren't made to be used in a call center environment, by the way,
they are intended for use while out and about, for bike riders, for people
who need to hear what is going on in their environment.

Listen to that review of yours, and you'll see that the quality is pretty
decent, and far above that $30 headset he was comparing against.

RE: AfterShokz headset question

[Marco Curralejo]

Can we confirm that you are talking about the opencomms because if that is 
the case, I am very surprised you are having any issues. In fact, you are 
the first person that I have come across with such problems. Now, if you 
are talking about any other set, I can completely understand where you are 
coming from. Also, there is a mute button on the open commerce so I'm not 
sure where you are getting it from?

As for muting a call, you can certainly mute a call. You need to press both

Re: AfterShokz headset question

[Nimer Jaber]

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

Hello again,
thank you very much for your replies.
Nimer, you said that the OpenComm headset support multipoint pairing, 
but can you switch between two devices without having to turn off/turn 
on the devices?
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?

Please, where can I hear how the microphone sounds?
Thanks.

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

for the various commands for the OpenComm headset.


Thanks.

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.

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.

Re: AfterShokz headset question

[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.

RE: AfterShokz headset question

I ended up returning mine as I got feedback from a few people that I sounded 
distant and in general had a hard time hearing me when I was using them. I 
wanted to use them for work, so poor call quality was a dealbreaker for me. 
Also, the fact that it has no dedicated mute button also turned out to be a

devices simultaneously and seamless switching between them without 
having to turn on/off one device or another?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Re: AfterShokz headset question

[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

[Richard Turner]

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.

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.
