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.

Definitely agree with Nemo on this 1. I have had a pair since January and
had absolutely no dramas with them at all. Quite a few people have heard at
me using them and bought them and had the same experience. Not sure why you
are getting the low volume and a poor microphone quality when nobody else is.

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.

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 pain in the butt.
Hopefully they’ll improve on future versions as I like the concept, but if
you are working from home and want to use them for that, then you may be
disappointed. As far as the band, it felt like it had more give than the
Aeropex which was nice.

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.

Richard,
The Aeropex and the OpenComm are similar. The band is quite flexible. That
said, if the aeropex don’t work for you, I’m not sure the OpenComm will.

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.
Thanks.

Hello list,
Please, I would like to hear your opinion which AfterShokz model is the
best.
Does any model have multipoint function, so that I can have paired two
devices simultaneously and seamless switching between them without
having to turn on/off one device or another?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Maria
