Wow! Thank you Carla for posting this great information. By making the purchase of the Aftershokz Trekz, I'll be killing two birds with one stone; I can listen to two audio streams at once as well as able to hear the sound around me. <smile>.
Also, if you're the individual who produces all those great iDevice podcasts, thank you for that too since they've helped me out lots. I really loved your Dropbox and Mbraille podcasts.

I know that the battery states that you only get 6 hours but in practice, you actually get more. There is good stereo sound separation and if you experiment with where you place the transducers, you can get a good bass response. Just have to get used to the vibration on your face though which will feel strange at first. The other point to make about these headphones are that they are lighter than the previous model and better made and much more jurable. They are also multi-point which is great for listening to two devices, in my case, my iPhone and iPod. Hope this helps.
