I have the Aftershockz Mini headset and like it a lot. It connects up pretty quickly, and is the best headset I've had as far as use with the phone app goes. There isn't very much vibration against the jaw bone unless I'm watching a video where things are really bassy. I switch between it and my Beats Studio wireless; the former is used if I'm just doing initial audio work where I have to proof and correct mistakes in the Dragon output document; the latter comes in to play when I have to do a more thorough read-through to make sure I've gotten all the nuances in. The earplugs that come with the Mini are great, too, for blocking out bus chatter from squawking kids or people who think everyone wants to listen in on their conversation.
I'd use my Beats all day, but my ears would get hot, and I'd miss half of the stuff people say to me when they walk up and start chattering. Aftershockz is a good open-ear alternative.
