Review: AfterShokz Trekz Air #SelfiesAreHard

I wanted to show you how the AfterShokz Trekz Air bone conducting head phones work — so I tried to take a selfie. But, I couldn't get the angle right. And I tried taking the photo A LOT. #SelfiesAreHard 

Then, I saw this picture of a real AfterShokz model (wearing his hair in a bun). I had to ask, "Who wore the bun better?" Probably him. Definitely him. Still laughing.

At least you can see how the headphones fit over my ear and wrap around the back of my head. Despite my poor selfie skills, I want to tell you about these next level headphones! They're for any (every) workout where you're moving and sweating.

AfterShokz are Bone Conduction Headphones

Bone conduction is different than regular headphones. The headset is placed on your temple instead of in your ear. The sound is sent to the internal ear through the cranial bones. The cranial bones are your jaw and cheek bones. Bone conduction bypasses the outer and middle ear and goes right to the hearing organ — your inner ear.

The technology has been around for years, mostly to help people with hearing loss. It's been used in military communications, the music industry, and for scuba diving. ​

The AfterShokz Trekz Air are lightweight and have an ergonomic fit. Most of the time, I forget I'm wearing them. There's even a microphone so you can use it for phone calls. 

As you can see in the photo, the TrekzAir fit comfortably with both a hat and sunglasses.

I think the best thing about these headphones is you can hear what's going on around you AT THE SAME TIME you're listening to music or a podcast! 

​The music sounds great, and I can hear a car, bike or person coming up behind me while I'm running around town. 

You charge the Trekz Air headphones with the power cord provided. AfterShokz says the charge will last 6 hours. ​I tested the length of a charge a couple of times by wearing them all day.

My headphones lasted for more than 6 hours. That means Trekz Air can keep you happy on your extra long runs. 

What's in the Box: Headphones, Carrying Case, Ear Plugs, 2-Year Warranty, Power Cord

Along with your awesome headphones, AfterShokz gives you a 2-year warranty. Just register your headphones online and if anything goes wrong, you're covered. Well, if your dog eats your headphones, that's not covered, but everything reasonable is!

You also get ear plugs. If you're listening to your music in a safe place, put in the ear plugs to experience total bone conduction. You're gonna love the sound!

There's a soft and secure carrying case. It has room for your headphones, earplugs and power cord.
