First things first, I hardly EVER write reviews. Way too busy, and I don't typically care enough. Here's a short and sweet summary: if you can fit the extra $160 into this month's budget (maybe no fast food, pizza, or coffee...whatever), don't hesitate - you won't regret it.
Next, here's some helpful info from the included manual:
Wireless range: 10 meters (honestly, I get better range than that...I've used them from downstairs in the opposite corner of my house from my phone)
Continuous play battery life: 8 hours (they must mean streaming to two devices simultaneously and nonstop, or maybe talking on the phone for 8 hours, because I wear and use it all day from 6am until around 9pm and have only charged it at night - it has never died).
...now on to why I love these things. I am a previous owner of the Trekz Titanium. I tried the Trekz Air but didn't buy them. I was waiting for a unit that handled dual Bluetooth devices and was waterproof - Aeropex was what I was waiting for.
Cons: You already know this, bone conduction headphones can't replicate the amazing bass of an expensive pair of earbuds or cans. THAT SAID, when you're under water (these are waterproof) or wearing earplugs these things easily sound at least as good as a "decent" pair of headphones (like $20-40 range...more than adequate unless you are an audiophile). WITHOUT earplugs in, with open ears that are alert to your surroundings, I'd say these are the same quality "ish" of stock Apple iPhone earbuds. Maybe a bit less.
PROs:
1. These have the best battery life of any wireless headphones I've used.
2. I now have a headset that simultaneously connects to my work laptop for Skype meetings and my iPhone for personal stuff. Amazing. No more multiple headsets. Mic is great. Clarity is better than my Plantronics.
3. Sound quality is great. Better than Trekz Titanium, can't speak for Air. The feeling that there is music playing that everyone else hears BUT THEY DONT is pretty amazing. I get to work or exercise to the music that keeps me going, but I don't have to worry about not being alert. No, these don't have great bass (without earplugs in). But as someone who enjoys dubstep, I can at least say I enjoy my music, still. The benefits far outweigh this minor drawback, trust me.
4. Vibration (the tickle common to bone conduction) is dramatically improved, as is sound leakage. People don't hear these things unless they are cranked.
5. Touching on something mentioned in my one and only "Con" - if you want noise cancelling headphones, it would be tough to find a better pair. Since you can wear the highest grade earplugs with these things - THEREBY *ENHANCING* THE SOUND - they effectively replace any other noise cancelling headphones. AMAZING.
6. I love, love, love the charging port. The magnetic charger just snaps into place and works - I now wish every device had a charger like this. BONUS: they give you two in the box, so you have one for home and one for work.
7. Since this is a relatively "new" technology, it's a great conversation starter, and everybody loves it. When you tell them to plug their ears (and suddenly they hear it BETTER) the facial response is like magic.
...so there you have it. I will likely not review another product for like ten or more years. But you, dear reader, I hope this pushes over the edge, if you're on the fence. These things are great. I have worn them all day, every day, since purchase (manufacturer warranty of two years btw) and they are comfortable and so convenient.
Hope this helps!

aftershokzTITANIUMを２年近く使っているので操作方法や、ボタンの位置など何も迷わないで使えました。Reviewed in Japan on July 23, 2019
TITANIUMも★5つにするほど超お気に入りなので、買い換えるというよりも買い足した感じです。
(TITANIUMを使い続けてすっかりAfterShokzが好きになってしまいました)
え〜と、まずTITANIUMと比べて～、その軽さに、装着した瞬間驚いちゃいましたね。
形もあるのだろうけど10ｇってこんなに変わるんだな〜って。
同じ音量で聞き比べたときの、音漏れも少なくなってました。
あと大音量にしたときの、低音で肌がブルブルってするあの感じがかなり減ってます。
⚠全く無いわけではありません。
(え？あ、いや、でも別にあのブルブルが嫌いって言ってるんじゃないんですよ？でもちょっと、くすぐったいっていうかかゆいかな。汗)
音質はTITANIUMより低音がマイルドにおさえられていて、特に中低音から高音がすごくキレイで、クリアに聞こえるようになってます。
(逆に言うとTITANIUMの方が低音を感じて楽しい音かも。ただしTITANIUMは、少しこもって聞こえますし、音量を上げるとブルブルも増し増しです。
だから···な〜んていうのかなぁ。百歩譲って···あ、百歩譲る必要ないや。。つまり〜その〜、こっちのほうが、つけてないような自然な響きがあっていいんです。)
付属のシリコンポーチ(スポーツバックじゃない方)も今までの巾着袋よりコンパクトになって、かさばらず使い勝手がとてもよきです。
(TITANIUMも入るのでこれからこっちを使っていこうと思います)
TITANIUMの方にも書きましたが、イヤホンと違って耳を塞がないから蒸れがなくてマジ快適なのと、外で聞くとき外音を取り込めるからマジマジ安全。
濡れることも全然気にしないで済むしね〜。
あと、ワイアレスイヤホンみたいにバッテリーケースを持ち歩かなくていいから結局こっちのほうが軽くてコンパクトじゃないかな？
(あっ、だ、だと思います。たぶん。)
だから···だから？
あっ、いや、なんかね、鼓膜をショートカットして聞いてるみたいな感覚だし、(イメージね、イメージ。)これって相変わらず中毒性高めで最高だな〜ってさ。うん。ほんとに。
あとはTITANIUMもAEROPEXも交互に使って耐久性や使いやすさなど、もっと良いところがあったら(たぶん良いところしかなさそうだけどさ。)レビューしたいと思いますね(^o^)
※追記※
あーーっ!!

では! bye bye!
※追記※
ほとんど毎日のように使っているAEROPEXですが、コロ〜ナヴァイルスの影響で2月頃から買い物に行くときや、少し人の多いところに行くときにはマスクと共にある物を使って外出するようになりました。
AEROPEXは骨伝導界のマジ神だし、音の切れも良くて装着しても違和感ないしとても良いのですが、マスクと一緒につけると紐が引っかかるし、目からの感染を防ぐ為にさらに伊達メガネを掛けたりすると、耳が大変な事になってしまうので、BOSE framesをクリアレンズに交換してカスタムしたサングラスを愛用するようになり、使い分けるようになりました。
BOSE frames (RONDO)の方もレビューしているので良かったら探して読んで見てくださいね（笑）
あと、久しぶりに見たら参考になったを押してくれてる人が多くって超絶びっくりしてます!!
また気が付いた事があったら追記したいと思いますね!
ではっ!!またどこかのレビューで会いましょう!!さらばじゃ!!

後は保証書を添付して送信。(ポチッ)
とりあえず今はコロ〜ナの影響で受付サポートがやっていないようだし、TITANIUMがあるので返信が来るまで、気長に待ってみようと思いま〜す（笑）
返信がきたら経過も含めて書き留めておきますね!では!
※追記※ 2020/5/13
約1週間ぶりにAeropexが帰って来ました!
返品は非常に簡単で、返信メールの指示どおり、全ての付属品などをパッケージに戻し、梱包してフォーカルポイント株式会社 サービス&サポート部宛に送って終了。
そしてすぐ新しい代替え品が届きました。
届いてまず驚いたのがボタンにクリック感がある事でした。
(あれ？なんかいつもと違う!?って感じ)
以前のAeropexはボタンがちょっと硬いっていうか.....。なんか、こう、指先にグッと力を入れなければ押せなかったのですが、軽くなったのか.....はたまた初期不良だったのかは分かりません。
もしかしたらパッケージの色が変わっていたので、ちょっぴり進化したのかもしれませんね。
まその〜使用感は、な〜んにも変わらないから、どうでもいいといえばどうでもいいんですけど。(汗)
結局その、まとめると〜。今回の件でサポートもしっかりしている事が分かったので〜、ますますAfterShokzが好きになってしまった!って事ですねっ!
あ、あと、コロナの影響で大変な最中、返信をその日の内にしていただくという神対応ありがとうございました!!
では、また何かあったら追記しようと思います!それではっ!

Wow - What an improvement!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2019
Where do I start. I have been using Aftershokz headphones for some time now after running with normal in ear headphones and nearly not hearing a car and nearly ending under it along a country lane so I carried out some research and found this company.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2019
I thought the Air model was good and enjoyed them for my running, working out in the gym cardio or weights and now the cycle ride to work.
The new Aero model is far far superior then the Air, the sound is much clearer and sounds more meaty. Plus the base has been improved, which is great as when training I always listen to Spotify Run N Base 170-175 BPM and the Aero's make the play list sound great.
Like others reviews on here I even forget I still have these on due to there light weight and even walked into the shower with them on, thankfully they are IP67 so after a oh crap moment I then relaxed remembering IP67 😃.
I'm waiting for the other colours to come out and I'll be buying my wife a pair now for when she hits the gym.
Overall these headphones are Fantastic and they do last the 8 hours, I made sure I didnt charge to find out.
Everyone I show these headphones to there reply is mostly WOW Amazing, these are from others who are using all different brands from airpods, bose etc.
They are the make and model and are going to look into them so just me showing people how great they are I reckon 10 friends and people in the gym have gone and ordered them and others added to their birthday or christmas wish list!
Well done Aftershokz keep up the good work!!
