Robert,
When going through the FAQs on the Aftershokz site, in reference to the
Bluez 2, it was said that the amount of spoken feedback you can get is
configurable, but it didn't say how to configure it. Also, I was unable to
find a user guide for the Bluez 2. Perhaps this is because they are so new.
Do you know anything about how the spoken output can be configured? Also,
with the original Bluez, the battery charge status was on the status bar on
the iPhone. I do not see it with the Bluez 2.

Subject: Re: new aftershotz blues2
Hi,
I am a big fan and daily user of the Aftershokz headphones. I have both the
wired and bluetooth versions. I do not use the Aftershokz for music. I use
Bose headphones for music. So, the Aftershokz are only used by me for
podcast listening, audio books and text to speech. I had excellent success
with the original Bluez model. I find them comfortable and for what I use
them for, to me they sound great.
The new Bluez 2 are nicely designed with the headband smaller because the
controls are on the right side and not in the head band on the back.
I like the sound of the Bluez 2 but they do have more bass and they vibrate
my cheek bones more than the original Bluez do. I am not finding them quite
as comfortable as the original Bluez model. They hurt my right ear after
wearing them for an hour or more. This isn't terrible and I just adjust them
once in awhile to ease the discomfort.
The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. It is a
very clear voice. It tells you when the headset is in pairing mode and it
tells you battery status. When no audio is playing, pressing one of the
volume buttons will report battery status. When the battery is needing a
charge, Audrey says "charge me." This comes as a bit of a surprise when
listening to spoken audio and suddenly hear charge me.
The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of searching to
find them. The mini USB port is between the volume button and the power
button.
I do like the Bluez 2 and the addition of speech is nice. I think speech
appeared in later versions of the original Bluez but mine didn't have it. I
think the construction of the Bluez 2 is very solid. I am not at all sorry
that I purchased them.
