My mom got me a pair of AfterShokz (the former name of this brand) years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m on my third pair now, and I’m pretty brutal on them. I wear them every day for long periods, and I really enjoy having headphones that don’t make me feel cut off from everyone around me, but still let me listen to podcasts that might not be kid-appropriate while I’m doing work around the house. They’ve dramatically improved for listening to music over the years, but I swap them out with dedicated IEMs for that most of the time. I also have a pair of over-ear headphones at my desk when I really need to tune out distractions.
I have their OpenRun headset, and for voice the quality is great; music a little iffy but acceptable when considering not getting hit by a car. Battery is awesome, and I'm assuming thats the same for the Opencomm
What’s the biggest improvement in your experience versus a more traditional setup? (Either over-ear with standalone mic or in-ear buds etc). Never tried bone conduction!
Mitigates further hearing loss from years of using buds. Also, when in a loud or crowded environment, I just put my fingers in my ears and can hear the other party crystal clear (vs potentially turning the volume up on buds to dangerous levels to compensate).
I am on conf calls and video chats for several hours per day. These are a product I would pay for until I die.
