I am on my phone all-day & this frees up my hands to type. Daily use of 8 to 10 hours & have not had any issues for it for 6 months plus.
Sound quality is very good . They are amazing for comfort. Way better than ear buds which end up infecting my ears and making them incredibly soar after a few hours . I do wish the could be adjusted a little so I could get the speaker where I want it but adjusting the volume is pretty much just as good . As a tractor trailer driver they are amazing for being able to hear google maps and not blocking out the sound around you. What I also like about them is they come with an amazing hard case and a magnet charging cord . Biggest plus is that unlike ear buds they are not so easy to lose and they are joined together. Amazing all round quality definitely best product out there . Would buy again for sure
Oh it also comes with a 2 yr Guarantee
Got these for work calls typically using MS Teams. I general audio is excellent. My chief comments are 1) Bluetooth range is quite short relative to other BT devices and 2) putting yourself on mute in a teams calls causes frequent loud beeping no one seems able to resolve. I don’t know if this is a MS issue or what but there is a long thread of complaints on the M forum “Loud beeping when muted in a MS Teams call”. If I were to buy again I would make sure the device can be muted in teams or send it back. At one point Aereopx was giving away devices to help but then started charging and seems like MS keeps changing things and temp solutions aren’t working. This is super annoying and you won’t like it and neither company is dealing with it.
Todo excelente con los audfonos, su nico problema es tenerlos en mute porque no paran de estar vibrando y vibrando y es incomodo y lo peor es que no hay forma de quitarlo
Acheter pour les visios Teams pour ne plus avoir les oreilles compresses !
J’en suis pleinement satisfait par contre le mute du micro dans Teams se fait entendre dans le casque, et c’est trs vite insupportable d’avoir un bip toute les 15 sec …
Here are the amazing features:
Lightweight and comfortable and don’t need to those other Princess Leia bulky headphones.
Superior sound quality based on the bone connection technology.
Noise cancelling is ideal and folks could not hear me listening to the World Cup during a meeting. 🙂
The over ear design allows me to even wear my hearing aids for some virtual meetings when attendees don’t have good microphones or ideal acoustics in their house.
I loved them so much, I bought two of them, so I have one at home and one at work.
Keep in mind, these charge so quickly and run for an extended period of time.
Plus includes a great carrying case.
Note: Special note to the AfterShokz innovative team, please design hearing aids and I will be the first in line to buy them.
lskar opencomm, dessa e en av dom bttre ja anvnt.. nackdelen e att d e svrt att ha mssa p sig samtidigt, pga byglen bak..
C’est trs confortable, je peux le porter toute la journe sans avoir mal la tte. La qualit du son est bonne, le bluetooth pareil, par contre le son devient inaudive dans les environnements bruyants comme le mtro ou la gare, clairement ce n’est pas fait pou
Je l’utilise pour mes Visio sur teams
Le confort et son sont parfait.
Mais on ne peut pas rgler le son sur teams sans passer par l’application teams et quand on se met en ‘mute ‘ il y a une sonnerie constante qu’on ne peut pas couper et c’est trs pnible dommage
I bought these bone conduction headphones because I have chronic ear infections and couldn’t wear any in-ear headphones without causing problems. I also spend the majority of my work day on the phone and needed good sound and voice quality. These fit the bill perfectly. However, my only drawback is that if I’m connected to more than one device (I have work and personal cells), it has a connectivity issue where if I’m on a call with my work phone, it constantly beeps and says “Connected” which interrupts my call and pauses the audio for a second. Like it has trouble maintaining the second connection when it’s in use. I have to turn the Bluetooth off on the second device in order to stop from doing that. And it won’t reconnect unless I cycle power on the headphones. Other than that, it works perfectly for me. Music, games, and voice all sound great. Also, I believe the boom mic does a good job at picking up my voice while tuning out background noise. Battery life is good too, lasts all day. 9/10 would absolutely recommend for anyone, especially for anyone who has issues with in-ear headphones.
Trs bon casque Bluetooth pour travailler, avec un trs bonne restitution des conversations.
La conductivit osseuse est un vrai confort pour les oreilles car en plus de l’absence de pression et de fatigue pour les oreilles, a permet de ne pas tre isol de son environnement quand on travaille avec.
Par contre, pour bien suivre une conversation extrieure en mme temps, il faut quand mme enlever une oreille, (la faute au cerveau mais pas au casque).
Le multipoint est trs bien gr, encore un confort additionnel, mme si pour le configurer il faut chercher ailleurs que dans la documentation fournie.
La distance de connectivit est trs correcte galement, on peut trs bien se mouvoir pendant les appels sans crainte de dconnexion.
Le seul bmol pour moi tait le prix, un peu lev. Mais un bon investissement pour un vrai confort.
Excelente producto. Buen sonido, buenos graves, si lo pones a volumen alto puedes sentir una vibracin. El punto fuerte es que oyes la conversacin si aislarte del mundo alrededor, tambin oyes los ruidos, si hay un peligro…etc.
El servicio al cliente genial, rpidos y reactivos.
Lo recomiendo
I went through loads of headsets trying to find a pair that kept other noises out of the conversations I was having. These are great they do an amazing job of cutting out the noise that’s not you talking. The added bonus is you can have conversations and still clearly hear everything going on around you.
If you’re after isolation from the outside world these aren’t for you.
If you want to use in a noisy environment they can work but you do have to crank up the volume.
I’ve ended up pairing these with two phones and work laptop, the only gripe if both phones connect you’ll be wondering why the laptop isn’t working. But the bonus of having multiple devices connectable is great.
The best part is they’re so comfortable that I wear them all day and forget I’m wearing them sometimes, when I wonder out to pick up the kids.
The headset is really comfortable and much better than others I have used for long workrelated video conference calls. The noise cancellation works great and is needed in my home office. The only thing that is a bit bothersome is that when I mute my sound on the video call there is a constant beep that remains until I go off mute. I sent an email to the shokz team and am waiting for a response on how to address this. Overall, the product is awesome with decent battery life and really good sound. Of course my favorite is that they are way more comfortable than in ear or over ear devices. There are a few people in my company that have moved over to these.
Amazing quality and microphone, tried all from airpods pro, to Bose QC 35, to any other type of headphones, no even one comes close to the call quality
Pros:
I’ve always felt that the bone conduction heads sets would be uncomfortable, but these are very comfortable. I’ve been able to use them for conference calls that last for hours. I also like the ability to hear what is going on around me and don’t feel so isolated as I would wearing standard over the ear headphones. The sound is excellent. But what has sold me is the microphone. It does not pick up any of the surrounding noise. There has been noise that I can hear from another room but people on the calls could not hear it.
Cons:
One thing that I do not like or find difficult to get used to is the fact that the volume and mute controls do not work unless you are on a phone call or playing music. If you are using it through Windows and are on Teams, Zoom, OfficeHD, the volume and microphone adjustments have to be made from the application. This a bit limiting when using those applications as it keeps you from walking around while on the call if you are muted or need to mute or unmute. If AfterShokz could fix that feature, I would give it 5 stars.
Recommendation:
I would recommend purchasing this headset if you need an office headset or if you are on the road a lot.
Only just short of magic… bizarrely they seem to get louder when you put your fingers in your ears…
Sound quality is OK, but not ideal for pumping bassy music, as they can ‘buzz’ at high volume levels, which is why a noisy car is not ideal. I also use mine connected to a PC (need a Bluetooth dongle) for speech recognition using Dragon, they work fine, and you can still hear what’s going on around you.
With a mobile, callers report the voice quality is always excellent, so the noise cancelling must work well!
For me, the comfort is fine, in fact i usually forget I’m wearing it, even with my specs on.
A great if expensive bit of kit. So comfortable can be used all day. Local conversation in the room is easy as the unit does not cover the ears. The battery life is good, but with time it will deteriorate and as there is no way I can see of replacing, inevitably I will have to throw them in a couple of years.
Working from home now all the time I’ve tried lots of headphones but all were uncomfortable on / over / in ear. These sit front of the ear and are 100% better and more comfortable. Very light and the battery is fantastic.
It does work. I had one occasion where the mike was not recognised but only one. Every other time it worked. It’s nice to be present at home whilst still being in a meeting.
I’ve just got these for work, but I thought I’d give them ago at home to see what they’re like. The sound quality for voice is good and everyone has said that the mic is ok but not as good (but that’s fair as its a Yeti X). Music quality is ok, but a bit flat.
The best bit is the comfort. I wear glasses so it was a bit of a concern for me, but I didn’t need to worry, I’ve had them on for a few hours now (but that’s mainly because I forgot I had them on 😀 ).
All in all, I think they’re a good headset and the comfort is fantastic. If the sound quality was there for music, it would have been a 5* review.
I usually browse headset ranges to see if there is one that was light weight, and predominately was interested in headsets which were monaural. For one ear. When I found this product, I felt I needed to try it and on receiving it, I was amazed that it did not require to be in your ear in order for you to hear and the noise cancelling was great. I asked a couple of callers if they could hear my large nosey fan close to me and they could not.
This is the first time I have come across this technology and hope the manufacture continues to enhance the features, as many users who need headphones, express that they need to remove over the ear headphones periodically during the day.
Ultimately, because I spend periods during the intermittently on the phone, this headset is great, I often forget I have got it connected and I like the fact that they don’t cut you off from your surroundings, as they are not in your ear.
Excellent mic and noise cancelling, great comfort, really fantastic for books, podcast, YouTubes, Zooms, Team etc, great battery life, but if you want massive submersive audio then there’s better to be had in high quality in-ear and over-ear, but that’s an unfair comparison in my view as they work so differently. But SO glad I got them, they have changed the way I listen to content and communicate, fantastic piece of gear that I would buy again in a second if I lost them.
Mainly used for Teams calls. Pricey but quality seems on par. Volume control and Mute don’t seem to work when on Teams, you have to use the Teams settings, and then you need to use Windows sound settings to mute otherwise you get a loud beeping. Apparently this is due to a Teams update which is upsetting a lot of people, and because Shokz product has not been certified or something. There’s a workaround as above, it’s not elegant but it works and I’m much happier not using ear buds.
After repeated phone calls to Shokz, they eventually shipped a replacement. The new version looks slightly different without the orange accents, but the performance seems to be the same. If this unit is more reliable, then this puts the Opencomm as a top contender for Bluetooth headsets with noise canceling microphone.
I purchased the Opencomm in Dec, 2020 during the pandemic in addition to the Aeropex (now called the OpenRun) I already owned. Bone conduction speakers are amazing for what they are meant for and not having to place anything inside or over your ear is a huge advantage.
The Opencomms were based on the 7th generation bone conduction technology, unlike the 8th generation the Aeropex. This means the buds that generate the sound are slightly larger and heavier and the sound quality is not as crisp – but it’s really a minor difference. What you gain is a microphone that picks up your voice and blocks out background noise, perfect for work from home or taking calls on the road. Also the battery life is much better on the Opencomm over the Aeropex.
Comparing to the Aeropex, the microphone on the Opencomm makes you sound more natural and it cuts out background noise significantly. I could be using the vacuum cleaner and the people on the other side only heard a hum. The voice pickup is also excellent, like a high quality headset, and your voice does not sound robotic or compressed. The Aeropex on the other hand picks up everything, similar to a speaker phone and being in loud environments are a distraction to the other side and you also sound more robotic.
The one-star rating is that the microphone on the Opencomm started cutting out right after the two year warranty period. Only static was heard from the other side making the microphone essentially useless. And since the Opencomms are heavier and sound quality slightly diminished over the Aeropex, I still use those on exercise runs or casual listening.
Shokz after service support seems to be non-existent and their chat bot leaves much to be desired. I have not been able to get in touch with anyone from the support team and it has been a frustrating experience given these headphones are supposed to be more premium.
Perhaps I received a dud or early version of the headphones as I purchased them when they were first released. However not being able to reach a customer service person to discuss an RMA is why I’ll be avoiding this brand in the future and will walk back my prior recommendations.
Sound is clear and easy control over the volume and pause is easy to use to and answer calls
UPDATE:. Very nice & respectful customer service. Replaced the headset with a new one that is working. Will update again after six months to see if it will continue to work.
I have tried many headsets for my mobile phone, & the clarity of voice calls on this product is remarkable, it sounds like a landline phone call, also I am able to have music playing in the background without the caller hearing it. Lastly, I wear this product for over 9 hours constantly with no problems. I would highly recommend it.
Able to wear it for hours without noticing it is there. Used it while cycling the South Downs way and lasted more than 6 hours continuously listening to music taking calls and using Google Assistant. Stayed in place without budging. Charges really quickly from flat to full. Not good in high noise environments (like the tube) and no noise cancelling function, but don’t use it on the tube and it is fine. Microphone very sensitive.
I’ve had lots of headphones for work/Teams/Zoom etc. and these are by far the best.
Reliable connection, great battery life (whole day/8hrs of calls) and comfy.
Il prodotto leggerissimo, letteralmente non vi accorgete di indossarlo. Per chi lavora tanto con le chiamate fondamentale perch non affatica le orecchie, non scalda la testa, non vi fa sudare…
Ho delle Jabra evolve 2 65 che non ho pi usato da quando ho comprato queste aftershokz, non fraintendermi, sono delle cuffie ottime, ma l’esperienza ad orecchie libere tutt’altra cosa.
Contro :
La batteria dura poche ore (forse 8) ero abituato alle Jabra che caricavo una volta a settimana… Ma pesano credo 10 volte di pi…
Integrazione Bluetooth col pc non fantastica… Scordatevi di comandare qualcosa dai pulsanti presenti sul device (volume, rispondi, attacca… Su smartphone funzionano, su pc no).
La cancellazione del rumore c’ ma poco efficace, Jabra su questo vince. Ho risolto installando krisp.
Ogni tanto ho dei falsi click, video che partono come se avessi premuto il tasto per avviarli ma senza averlo fatto (e senza il feedback sonoro del tasto) all’inizio quando le usavo col cell mi buttava gi la chiamata, con Skype non succede quindi ho ignorato il problema per il momento.
Detto questo se non dovete isolarvi ma lavorate tanto in call un dispositivo davvero ottimo… Utile anche a chi ha problemi di vista (sembra strano detto cos) perch consente di non stressare l’udito e di consentire di avere consapevolezza dell’ambiente esterno.
Se potete passare sopra questi difetti il prodotto sicuramente ottimo!
I have owned the OpenComm (Boom mic) version for about 4 months now and have grown to love this headset – one I wear for many hours a day.
Whilst I wouldn’t choose it for listening to music at high quality (not enough bass), they are “OK” from time to time.
For meetings and calls however these are excellent. Voices are clear, and they are comfortable to wear with a great battery life.
One minor point of annoyance is that the buttons do not function when using with Windows 10 (they work perfectly with a mobile phone) – this seems to be a Windows limitation, but it a bit of a shame.
If you are looking to avoid that over-the-ear feeling, or want to keep in touch with your surroundings, and spend hours on calls, then this will work for you.
aprs presque une anne de utilisation journalire (huit heures minimum), ayant des problmes d’audition, je trouve ce casque fantastique. La rduction de bruit est ultra efficace ! Que vous soyez en voiture avec les fentres ouvertes, proximit d’un chantier, les gens sont souvent surpris de ne pas entendre l’environnement autour ! Au niveau du confort, il se fait trs vite oublier ! Il est ultra confortable et parfois vous n’avez mme pas l’impression de le porter. Au niveau du saut, c’est pareil, c’est limpide. Bien entendu, vous n’avez pas de basse comme un casque qui vous couvre l’oreille. En revanche, vous entendez des frquences que vous n’avez pas l’habitude d’entendre. Pour exemple, rcouter danser une chanson et vous allez entendre des dtails que vous ignorer l’existence ! Son utilisation est trs simple et intuitive. Son autonomie est impressionnante ! Je suis dpanneur et je suis constamment au tlphone ( clients, sav…)et quand je ne le suis pas j’coute de la musique en permanence. Je ne suis tomb en panne de batterie que rarement. L’avantage ultime de la conduction osseuse, c’est que vous avez l’oreille libre. Vous pouvez entendre sans tirer votre casque ! Les choses encore importante, et qui est rare, le Sav au top et trs ractif. Pour conclure, je suis quelqu’un de trs exigeant, le prix au dpart excessif… Mais au final, je trouve qu’il est tout fait correct tant par la qualit et aussi pour sa connectivit sans faille !
I rarely write reviews but this really deserves one. As someone who suffers ear infections often I needed a headset for work that didn’t block air flow into the ear. I havnt had a painful ear infection since buying these months ago, and the quality of just amazing plus the case I’d extremely handy. The material is durable and flexible meaning they do not break easily. I have used them Monday -friday 9-5 for months and they are still like new!!
I just bought and returned a well reviewed pair of headphones because while the audio quality was decent, the noise canceling was… as far as I could tell, non existent. So I returned it, added a few dollars to my budget (this isn’t cheap!) and bought this one. Wow! I was blown away! First of all, the bone bla bla bla technology… actually works! It’s like magic! Put a big smile on my face – so cool to hear plain as day something that you’re brain is telling you… isn’t there / it’s not in your ear! …yet you hear it in your ear! So weird! AND COOL! And on the noise cancelling – the main reason I was looking for a headset – wow, awesome. I’ve tested in an old noisy car (tons of road noise), I’ve tested in a noisy coffee shop, I’ve tested leaning over my kitchen sink with the water running full blast, I’ve tested in my garage with our clanky garage door going up and down, I’ve tested in the wind, etc, etc. POINT: It handled all of those tests with no problems / the people on the other end couldn’t hear a thing! …just my voice. Each of them were as blown away as I was at all the things I’d done while talking with them. They had no clue / thought I was in my quiet office talking to them. So yeah, for me – this is a winner – exactly what I was looking for! Pricey? Oh for sure! I’m sure this costs WAY less to produce than they are charging BUT… I bought a cheaper “noise canceling” headset, and returned it. It just didn’t work. This to me, is worth every penny! Oh, and I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviewers talking negatively about sound quality when listening to music… so tested that right away and… maybe it’s just having low expectations but, after reading all the negativity I was quite surprised at how good music sounded through it! Not a disappointing experience musically at all. Yes, I bought this for use as a noise canceling headset for my phone – but I have no hesitation using it for music as well / it’s music capabilities was a nice “surprise” I wasn’t expecting. 🙂
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Klangqualitt ist fr mich besser als in manchem YouTube-Video beschrieben. Sowohl, was eingehendes Audio betrifft, wie auch das ausgehende. Fr den ausgehenden Fall (Mikrofon) sollte man bedenken, dass das Gert hierbei mit einem 16 kHz-Codec arbeitet. Das ist also ein etwas beschnittener Frequenzumfang, der aber bei HD-Telefonie einfach perfekt klingt und eine Strke darin hat, eine nahezu verzgerungsfreie bertragung der Mikrofonsignale zu ermglichen. Und das ist ja beim Telefonieren ein wichtiger Faktor: Was bringt es mir, wenn die Stimme voluminser, rumlicher Klingt, dafr aber langsamer bertragen wird? Wir wollen uns ja nicht dadurch stndig ins Wort fallen. Die aktuelle Techniken von WLAN etc. tun bereits ihr briges, dass Verzgerungen bei IP-basierter Telefonie oder Webkonferenzen dazukommen und das reicht mir persnlich schon an Verzgerungseinflssen.
Beim eingehenden Audio ist mir aufgefallen, dass der Klang nur anatomisch bedingt eher flach ausfllt. Sprich: Die Wahrnehmung von Frequenzen im Bass-Bereich gehen auf dem Weg zum Hrzentrum weitestgehend verloren. Das ist aber nur dann der Fall, wenn die Gehrgnge frei sein, wie hier im Normalfall bewusst vorgesehen. Werden Sie dagegen verschlossen, hrt man einen deutlich voluminseren Sound. Dazu reicht es, einfach einmal mit den Fingern die Ohren zu verschlieen. Mir persnlich hat das HiFi-Qualitt und kommt nicht an meine Bose-In-Ear-Sport-Kopfhrer heran. Diese klingen mir jetzt im Vergleich viel zu dumpf. Stattdessen stecke ich mir jetzt einfach mal eben noch gute, gnstige Schallschutz-Ohrstpsel und geniee die Musik pur.
Beim nchsten Flug werde ich dann auch einmal ausprobieren, ob ich mir so auch groe Over-Ear-Kopfhrern sparen kann. Denn in der Kabine auf einem mehrstndigen Flug wird es im Sommer meiner Erfahrung nach schnell mal warm. Ich habe dann erst recht keine Lust, unter den dicken Ohrpolstern schwitzig-triefende Ohren zu bekommen.
Was mir auerdem wirklich gut gefllt, ist der Nackenbgel. Da sich meine Haare sofort jede Druck-Belastung einprgen, sieht meine Frisur nach einigen Minuten des Tragens eines ber-Kopf-Bgels nur noch peinlich aus: Wie ein schmerzhaft durchgerittener Pferdercken. Und was ich keinem Pferd wnsche, mag ich an mir selbst auch nicht sehen, nur weil ich ein Telefonat von einer halben Stunde gefhrt habe. Wer nun denkt, dass der Nackenbgel beim Liegen stren wrde: Ja, kann passieren. Wenn man es bertreibt, lsen sich dadurch auch die Kontaktflchen neben den Ohren und der gute Klang schwindet. Aber ganz ehrlich: Dafr gibt es Lsungen, die schnell gefunden sind. Ich habe es jedenfalls bisher stets geschafft, mich einfach so zu legen, dass ich gut lag, die Kontaktflchen gut anlagen und so dann auch alles perfekt zu hren. In der Regel hilft es, ein Kissen entsprechend passend unter den Kopf zu legen. Und ich erwarte auch, dass sich das im Flugzeug oder der Bahn mit einem aufblasbaren Nackenkissen, den vorhandenen und ggf. nach oben schiebbaren Sitz-Kopfkissen oder hnlichen verfgbaren Mglichkeiten auch gut wird lsen lassen.
I specifically wanted something that I could still be situationally aware and be able to hear the sound of my own voice. I work in an office environment where people do come by the office to talk and I do want to know when someone is around me. The other issue is being able to hear myself. When I’ve used full coverage headsets or ones that are on both ears, I slowly get louder and louder to the point I’m nearly yelling. The looks I get from co-workers is not nice if looks could speak. I’ve also used the kind that only go over one ear with the microphone boom and the plantronics BT ones that hang over one ear. The former feels unbalanced on my head and I feel like I should be in a call center, while the latter falls off my ears (I have thin, weak ears).
So I took a gamble on these which really paid off! First off they are not cheap, but I remember some of the first BT headsets weren’t either. The fit is amazing. Very lightweight and doesn’t feel like its squeezing your head. The hoop portion is awesome since its goes behind your head rather than over it. Bonus points for not dentin’ my ‘do!
The transducers sit just right in front of your earholes and don’t cover them at all. Fully aware of your surroundings at all times with no earhole fatigue. The boom mic is small and just goes as far as mid-cheek so I don’t even see it in my field of vision.
Now if you like me the first thing you are going to do is play music to see how they sound. You are not going to be super impressed. It can sounds a bit tinny with not a lot of base. The highs and mids sound really good though. However that is not the point of this headset, which is for communications. Call someone up and talk to them and they will sound perfectly clear and distinct. The other end of the call said I sounded perfect with no background noise. No issues with making out different speakers in multi person calls either.
Now that doesn’t mean you should not listen to music on these. I often do between calls. Bone conduction means your co-worker neighbors are not bothered by sound leakage. The open ear design does mean that base suffers however you can remedy this with earplugs. Test this out by plugging you ears with your fingers and you’ll notice a huge change in base.
Overall, these check all my boxes for two-way audio communication. Light, comfortable and great sounding; so far these have lasted me all day long on a single charge. Magnetic charger is nice, while the carry case is overly large. You could put full size headphones in that case.
Definitely give yourself sometime to adjust to bone conduction audio as it is a bit jarring at first to be able to ‘listen’ thru your jawbone. I haven’t had any issue with it other than some slight tickling when there is a track with heavy base in it and the transducer buzz against the sides of my head.
Great headset!
I’ve used many headsets for my work as taxi driver most stop me from hearing customer in car when in ear but this is brilliant clear sound quality for calls and I can hear customers as my ears not blocked
Awesome product, works really well with my M1 macbook pro 2021.
I’m always in a Teams, Zoom or Discord call and I have no regrets about the purchase.
SMALL PROBLEM:
The only problem I’ve had is when the battery is at 60%, my mic starts cutting in/out- but ONLY on Discord. This is strictly a Discord issue but should be noted.
These are great, good battery life, comfortable.
Takes a little while to get used to can give you headache or motion sickness
The down side is that they are not fully supported with Zoom etc, you still have to use the pc to unmute which is mildly annoying but forgivable
I lost my earlier expensive earbuds, so I looked for something that would not fall. That is handled. At first I experienced a slight pain on my right ear after a few hours of usage. I discovered that if I push the back part toward the top of my head, that totally solved that. I needed a device that I could pair with my cell and my computer. It was a little learning curve to figure out the double pairing, but that worked well, the documentation is decent. I had a situation with the mic when using a Bluetooth antenna in Teams / Zoom meetings, wrote support, I never got an answer from them. Not good. However, the antenna support team helped me resolved the issue. You need to keep the volume at a certain level, otherwise it will produce an unbearable tickling effect. Jut lowering the volume a bit solves that. But, when BT is fine, sound quality seems fine, at least I did not get reports from users in meetings. I really love the fact that I can use it with the cell and with the computer, I really did not want to have to use two headsets. That solved that. I do not know exactly how long the battery last. It is hard to tell, since I am not in meetings every day. But, so far I cannot say that this has caused me a problem. So, based on all of that, I recommend that product.
Ich habe dieses Headset aufgrund der Rezensionen gekauft und kann besttigen, was die anderen bewerten.
Die PROs:
+ Ton: Die Tonbertragung ber die Knochen funktioniert erstaunlich gut! Zum Telefonieren SUPER! Es ist als ob das Gegenber mit im Zimmer sitzt. Sehr natrliches Hren. Ich hab Musik gehrt und konnte mich whrenddessen problemlos unterhalten. Die Musik wirkt, als wre sie im Raum.
+ sehr gutes Richt-Mikrofon: gute Tonqualitt fr die anderen (haben sie mir mehrfach besttigt), sehr wenig Nebengerusche werden bertragen. Hab’s sogar beim Fahrradfahren ausprobiert, -auch dort: die anderen verstehen mich gut, sie hren den Wind, aber ist nicht strend.
+ sehr bequem: dieses Head-Set vergisst man. Wirklich. Wenn man’s nicht an den Ohren haben will, trgt man’s um den Hals. Funktioniert mit den Masken, verheddert sich nicht. An- und Abziehen whrend man Maske trgt, egal ob an den Ohren oder mit Maskenband, das Heaset wird einfach drbergelegt. Auch nach stundenlanger aktiver Nutzung tut mir am Ende des Tages nix weh, -im Gegenteil: ich nutze es privat einfach gleich weiter.
+ Akku: Ich hab nun echt schon Stunden-lang damit telefoniert / ge-meet-ed: der Akku hlt problemlos 2 volle Tage.
+ Halt: In den Contras schreibe ich gleich dazu, dass der Bgel etwas gross geraten ist, das ndert aber erstaunlich wenig daran, wie gut das Headset hlt. Ich hab’s Spasses-halber zum Sport angezogen und bin damit gejoggt und rumgehpft – hlt. Ist mir bloss zu schade dafr, weil ich brauch’s hauptschlich beruflich. Fr Sport werd ich mir ein billigeres kaufen…
Die CONs:
– der Bgel ist zu lang/gross: wie alle anderen schon schreiben, der Bgel knnte etwas mehr am Nacken anliegen. Vor allem bei kleinen Kpfen ist er echt weit vom Kopf entfernt. Es geht auch mit Kaputzen-Jacke, aber dann merkt man den Kopfhrer halt pltzlich, weil er dran kommt. Da man ihn ja sonst nie bemerkt, fllt das dann echt strend auf. Im Vergleich zu allen anderen Headsets ist das allerdings Jammern auf hohem Niveau.
– der Ton: aufgrund der Grsse des Bgels liegen bei mir die Ton-Teile nicht immer ganz am Knochen an und da vermindert dann die Ton-bertragung, so dass es deutlich leiser wird. Das ist v.a. draussen ein Problem, wenn die Umgebungsgerusche, die man ja voll alle mitbekommt, lauter werden. Dann muss ich jeweils die Ton-Trger etwas an das Gesicht randrcken, damit ich besser hre. Dann ist das Gegenber wieder sehr gut zu verstehen. Mein Mann, der ein etwas grsseren Kopf hat als ich, hat dieses Problem viel weniger.
– Ton: Achtung Musik-Fans: dafr ist es jetzt nicht sooo geeignet. Die Musik kommt klar und natrlich rber, aber es fehlt der Bass und die Tiefe. Fr leise und so nebenbei hren, reicht es vllig und dann finde ich es ganz angenehm, aber es ist kein Vergleich zu Over-Ear-Kopfhrern, die einem die Musik praktisch in den Kopf drcken und einen erfllen. Und ja, man sprt anfnglich ein Ziehen in den Kaumuskeln, die durch die Knochenvibration etwas greizt werden. Das kann bei gewissen Gesprchspartnern auch mal mehr werden, aber dann reduziere ich die Lautstrke, dann lsst es meist nach. Und es setzt auf jeden Fall auch ein Gewhnungseffekt ein.
– das Ladekabel: Echt, Leute, ich fand in den anderen Rezensionen die Erwhnung des eigenen Ladekabels ja hilfreich, aber bertrieben. Ich entschuldige mich: Ihr habt recht! Es nervt. Das Kabel ist etwas kurz und dieser Magnet-Konnector ist beim ersten Mal noch cool und dann fragt man sich: wofr? Warum kein USB-C-Anschluss? Dann wre das Head-Set perfekt! So muss ich zu meinem 3-er-Kabel, das ich extra gekauft habe, um immer fr alle Gerte einen Anschluss zu haben, doch noch ein weiteres Kabel mitschleppen. Und ja, es liegt natrlich nie dort, wo ich es grad brauche. Aber man braucht es halt auch nicht hufig.
– Konnektivitt: Man kann das Headset mit 2 Gerten gleichzeitig verbinden. Dazu einfach beim ersten Mal den Plus-Knopf fr die Lautstrke und den Universalknopf lange gleichzeitig drcken. Dann wird die Multi-Konnekivitt aktiviert. Das muss man 1x machen. Dann geht’s. Aber bei anderen Head-Sets funktioniert das zugegeben viel besser. Hier ist es schon so, dass man immer mal wieder schauen muss, mit ich wirklich verbunden? Und fr den Wechsel muss man ggf. beim andern Device Bluetooth ausschalten, damit sich das Headset mit dem neuen Gert verbindet. Aber es geht: ich arbeite am PC und an 2 Handys. Entweder bin ich an beiden Handys oder am Diensthandy und PC verbunden. Reicht fr mich.
Hinweis: verliert das Headset eine Verbindung (weil ich in die Kche 2 Stockwerke entfernt vom PC gehe), dann piepst das Headset alle paar Sekunden. Das nervt ein bisschen. So sehr interessiert mich die fehlende Konnektivitt nicht.
So. Ich hoffe, Euch mit meinen Erfahrungen bei der Kaufentscheidung geholfen zu haben. Es ist das beste Headset, das ich bisher hatte, gerade weil es so bequem zu tragen ist und die Ohren offen hlt. Dafr nehm ich das Kabel zhneknirschend in Kauf. Und verzeihe auch den manchmal etwas umstndliche Verbindungswechsel zwischen den Gerten.
Bought for my son for general use and for gaming. He had been having issues with in-ear head phones – wasn’t sure if these would be up to standard but they are excellent. Super comfortable to wear, excellent sound quality – absolutely brilliant in fact.
Knapp 1 Monat nutze ich das Headset schon.
Vermutlich anders als vom. Hersteller angedacht.
Mein Problem bei allen Headsets bisher war, lauter maschinenraum Stpsel rein Kunde kommt, wieder raus und zur Seite legen. Dann wieder rein.
Ich habe keine warn Gerusche im Raum gehrt.
2 Gerte mssen koppelbar sein.
Ganzer Arbeitstag muss ohne zwischenladen gehen.
Wie ich es nutze.
Magefertigter in ear gehrschutz und dazu das Headset.
Selbst bei 105db im Raum verstehe ich so die Musik erstaunlich gut. Natrlich nicht in hifi Qualitt, aber das ist Knochenschall und kein richtiger Kopfhrer…
Fr mich ist das so die nahezu perfekte Mglichkeit.
Es ist erstaunlich wie frei man hren kann und trotzdem die Musik an hat.
Ich ertappe mich immer fter dabei, wie die Musik im persnlichen Gesprch weiter luft.
Akku hlt tatschlich sehr sehr lange und ldt unglaublich schnell.
Dass man multi point erst aktivieren muss und nicht in der Anleitung erklrt ist finde ich tatschlich nicht so geil, aber Google kann heutzutage jeder nutzen…
Das ladekabel finde ich super. Der magnet hlt super und geht fast immer von alleine in der richtigen position drauf.
Ein Manko was mich etwas strt….
2 device sind gekoppelt.
Eins davon spielt Musik ab
2. Device kommt aus der Reichweite raus. Es piept relativ oft und nervig weil die connection lost ist. Noch akzeptabel.
Aber
Ein reconnect funktioniert danach nicht mehr! Zumindest wenn beim Verbindungs Verlust das 1. Device etwas abspielt oder man telefoniert.
Man muss also das Headset kurz aus und wieder einschalten.
Auch etwas nervig
Wenn device 1 keine Musik spielt, aber Spotify offen ist.
Device 2 Verbindung verliert und dann wieder in Reichweite kommt.
Spielt auf einmal device 1 Spotif ab.
Total dmmlich.
Das passiert auch manchmal wenn man mit device 2 telefoniert. Dann fngt er am Ende des Telefonat einfach an Musik abzuspielen.
Wenn der hersteller diese 2 Dinge mit einem fw Update hin bekommt, vergebe ich das Prdikat perfekt. So ist es nur geil
So working from home with the pandemic means I have been spending 6 to 7 hours with a headset stuck on my head as everything is now done by phone or on teams. The normal over the ear or in ear headphones got uncomfortable and painful over the course of a day. Looking for a solution I was recommended bone conduction by a couple of people. Doing my research I found these. Boy am I glad I did. These are amazing. They a light, comfortable and you hardly know your wearing them. The sound is clear and people have commented on how good the mic is. The slight vibration on your temples takes a little getting used to but after a while you don’t notice at all. My ears feel good still at the end of the day. No headaches or pain. Only thing I cant figure out is how to control volume direct from the headphones, I have to do it actually on the laptop settings. It’s not to much of a bother as I’m normally with it anyway. The Bluetooth is a good connection and has a very good distance. Over all for the price, if you need an all day wireless, comfortable headset these are amazing. Battery life for me has lasted all day with very heavy usage with no issues. Just don’t loss the charging cable which comes with them as its specific to the set.
Ho usato queste cuffie per chiamate e meet ovunque. In pi quando cammino ci ascolto la musica.
Sono leggere, stabili, non affaticano, e sono molto discrete. Molto pi facili da indossare rispetto a tanti altri auricolari. Tendo a dimenticare che le sto indossando.
Il microfono fortemente direzionale riduce drasticamente i rumori di sottofondo nella chiamata, quindi si pu parlare senza disturbare la conversazione.
Gli auricolari a conduzione ossea non fanno “effetto tappo” e quindi non danno fastidio nelle lunghe chiamate. In pi, non isolando dai rumori, possibile usarle per strada dove altrimenti sarebbe pericoloso non sentire i rumori delle macchine.
La comodit di questi auricolari ha fatto s che aumentassi l’ascolto della musica camminando per strada o in situazioni quali supermercati o altrove, dove l’isolamento sarebbe fastidioso o pericoloso. La qualit di ascolto in questo senso pi che adeguata.
Il prezzo apparentemente alto, ma per chi fa almeno un paio d’ore di chiamate o meet di lavoro al giorno miste tra mobilit e ufficio questo prezzo si ripaga bene.
Ottimo il microfono ruotabile che consente di rispondere ad una chiamata al volo (poich si tende a dimenticarle, le cuffie spesso ve le ritroverete gi all’orecchio).
Ultima cosa molto importante: l’interlocutore vi sente bene anche indossando la mascherina. Io ho preso una abitudine: all’orecchio sinistro indosso prima l’elastico della mascherina e l’auricolare sopra; all’orecchio destro il contrario, prima l’auricolare e poi l’elastico. In questo modo si riesce a togliersi o rimettersi rapidamente la mascherina dal lato destro, in quanto rimane ferma dal sinistro ed evita che il vento la faccia volar via.
Indosso gli occhiali e, anche se non il massimo all’inizio, dopo un paio di settimane ci si abitua a come indossarle.
Cosa non mi piaciuto… l’attacco magnetico per la ricarica richiede un cavo specifico. Capisco (fino ad un certo punto..) che un attacco magnetico a molti possa piacere, ma avrei gradito che la confezione includesse degli adattatori – magari 3 con attacco usb-c – cos da non costringere a portarsi dietro il cavetto. Dato il prezzo delle cuffie, questi adattatori ci potevano pure stare. Sarebbe stato il top.
Son los segundos que tengo. Los primeros eran muy eficientes pero usndolos a diario han durado solo 16 meses, menos si cuento desde cuando dieron las primeras seales de fatiga del material.
Estos parecen tener menos potencia y menos sensibilidad, pero siguen siendo, para m, una opcin mejor que los AirPod para proteger el odo y no aislarse demasiado del exterior.
Slo puedo criticar que tengan una vida tan efmera teniendo en cuenta lo que cuestan , y que supuestamente estn diseados para el deporte y actividades vigorosas.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got the Aftershokz Opencomm, not particularly expecting much, but the quality just blew me away. The headphones themselves were light, most importantly, did what they said in the blurb. The noise cancellation is good, the microphones phenomenal, and for meetings, it is a very good product. For music, there are better headsets but for the price, this is a very good buy
I see lots of comments about not working well with teams. Used daily on teams, no issues. Works well on Zoom. Less pressure on my ear and not as invasive as other headsets and earphones I’ve used in the past. I can have music on in the house while on calls and the customers can’t hear it because of the noise cancellation. Can get around two days of on and off calls before battery dies, so worth a charge at end of day. A*
cmodo de usar, ni lo notas tras horas de llevarlo.
Conversaciones ntidas , te escuchan aunque ests en un entorno ruidoso, de hecho es un modelo especial para camioneros. El micrfono cancela el ruido al rededor de forma notable.
El sistema intraoseo te permite seguir escuchando el entorno , ideal para ir en bici o correr en exteriores o en cinta.
Si deseas aislarte, por ejemplo en oficinas ruidosas, puedes hacerlo usando un buen par de tapones de calidad para los oidos desde 10.
Yo personalmente uso videoconferencia con Microsoft teams y me escuchan con mucha calidad y sin ruidos de fondo y al mismo tiempo escucho ntidamente las conversaciones. Puedes usarlo para escuchar msica en el mismo pc con unas calidad muy conseguida aunque los graves estn poco conseguidos en este tipo de dispositivos de oreja abierta ganan algo mas si usas tapones pero an as ms que aceptables.
Lo uso para pelculas enparejado a mis TV LG sin ningn problema y as no molestar a los vecinos y de hecho tampoco les oigo dependiendo del volumen que ponga.
La duracin modo conversacin da para la jornada de trabajo perfectamente incluso usndolo para escuchar algo de msica en momentos sin reuniones.
Lo puedes tener emparejado a dos dispositivos a la vez mvil y PC por ejemplo.
Se cargan bastante rpido, por ejemplo si cuando te avisanque lo cargues ( en ingls) y lo enchufas unos 30min tienes para 4h ms de conversacin.
Despues de probar varios, incluso ms caros que este, este es el que encuentro ms cmodo y efectivo para m uso diario.
De aspecto parecen delicados pero son de un material muy robusto.
En general un dispositivo que me ha sorprendido gratamente y considero un dinero bien invertido.
Hab Support kontaktiert, mal sehen, ob es umgestellt werden kann… sonst muss ich leider zurckgeben…
Update 20.01.2022:
ber globalen Support von Aftershokz (Kontakt nur auf English) habe ich Rckmeldung bekommen, wie man Sprache von den Ansagen umstellen kann (leider nicht in der Betriebsanleitung beschrieben). Folgende Schritte:
1. OpenComm ausschalten
2. Drcken + Taste bis “Pairing mode” an ist (LED rot/blau blinkt)
3. Mit Doppelklick wird Sprache umgestellt; es ertnt ein “beep” Ton (Hinterlegt sind Chinesisch, Japanisch, Englisch und Koreanisch)
4. Mit Tasten + oder – kann berprft werden, welche Sprache aktiv ist (es erfolgt Ansage zum Akku Stand)
5. Headset ausschalten und wieder abschalten. Fertig.
brigens, das Headset funktioniert tatschlich wunderbar mit 2 gleichzeitig gekoppelten (beide aktiv verbundenen) Gerten.
Ich nutzen es mit PC (WEB Konferenzen) & Handy.
3 Gerte geht nicht.
Besten Dank, damit kommt ein Stern in der Bewertung dazu.
I’ve already got Aftershokz trekz which are great, but when I got my new Samsung ZFlip3, I discovered that Samsung in their infinite wisdom, have decided to ditch the headphone socket. I use my phone all the time for working from home and need a headset so I can type & have pretty long conversations. I tried my Trekz but they sounded too hands free to clients, so after then trying an adaptor (unreliable connections, no matter which I tried – gave up after 2), I bit the bullet and got these. They’re super comfy to wear all day, clear and the battery life is great too. Even better that I managed to get them when they’d dropped to 125.
This is simply the best form factor for today’s working from home setup – if you want:
* To hear your work calls
* To hear your ambient noise, like doorbells, emergency with the kids, etc. (otherwise get something completely different which, for example, would cover your ears)
* To attenuate some (not all) of the background noise around you.
Pros:
* My buddy and I both use these at work in large meetings, when we need to (because speaker and mic audio quality is *lower* when we use these compared to other options), and it drowns out his dog barking considerably – we can still hear the dog barking, but it becomes much more distant and tolerable.
* The fit on these versus previous after-shokz is a *dream*, my previous generation ones physically hurt much earlier in the day than these do. These will also eventually hurt, but not as bad as the previous generation, and they are certainly tolerable when you move them around a bit. Kudos on this one.
Cons:
* Why can’t we have a mute button?
* The mic quality is lower than several other options – including conference speakers, and cheap boom mic alternatives. Given that this is a premium boom microphone device, this is patently ridiculous and inexcusable. What were you thinking Shokz-folks?
* Sound quality for anything other than voice/meetings is a joke – you can do it in a pinch, but you’d be wasting an opportunity to use a much better solution.
* The boom mic *still* leaks some of your ambient noise through.
* Do we really need yet *another* proprietary charging cable?
* Minor nit: I wish it had longer battery life. But you can definitely make it through at least one day’s worth of meetings.
In spite of the cons however, get these, I use them almost every day, and they are my go-to when I need to attenuate my surroundings.
A friend recommended these after I suffered an ear infection from wearing AirPods on my dog walks (talking earpods in and out in cold, damp and dirty conditions is definitely not recommended!!).
I was somewhat skeptical about the sound quality but after using them several times and getting used to how they fit around the ear, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised.
I mostly listen to audiobooks and make calls so music quality isn’t really an issue. The sound quality for music isn’t terrible however the bass does cause some vibration and a bit of distortion but for making calls and listening to audiobooks without having to stuff things in your ears these are BRILLIANT and I’d thoroughly recommend them.
I was also worried about the little boom mic being a nuisance, it is on occassion when a call comes in you have to remember to flip the boom out, the background noise cancellation is so good people can’t hear a thing when it’s tucked behind your ear. I also thought I’d look a bit stupid with it while out on dog walks. But after a while the self-conciousness goes away.
Battery life is pretty much on par with what they say as well, 6-8 hours of listening easily.
All in all, I’d say these are great little headphones, a bit on the steep side, but I’ve so far had plenty of use out of them without any problems.
As someone with a hearing impairment I wanted headphones that didn’t completely cancel out outside noise and would use bone conduction versus in-ear for sound. These are great. Would totally recommend. I am on conference calls most of the day and this allows me to walk around, easily talk and hear clearly plus I can hear sounds from around me as well. Everything I wanted them for. For someone with longer hair you end up having to fiddle around it as it does stick out the back but it’s a minor issue. Portability with the case is also good. Would be interested to know how good they are without the extended microphone for use on calls.
Das Headset wird gleich mit einer soliden Aufbewahrungsbox geliefert. Die Box enthlt auf der linken Seite noch ein Netzfach um das mitgelieferte Ladekabel ordentlich zu verstauen. Das Ladekabel und das Headset harmonieren perfekt – ein fehlerhaftes Anschlieen am Headset wird durch Magnete verhindert. Hlt man den Ladestecker richtig an das Headset wirken die Magnete wie ein Schnapper und das Laden beginnt.
Die Verbindung mit einem Laptop (Win) und auch einem Mac hat Problemlos funktioniert. Auch nach dem Ausschalten der Aftershokz und spterem Einschalten wurde die Verbindung sowohl beim Laptop (Win) als auch beim Mac wieder automatisch hergestellt. Das ist sehr angenehm im Vergleich zu anderen Airpoddies welche ich bei Windows immer manuell wieder verbinden musste.
Die Qualitt ist wirklich sehr gut – zwar hat man jetzt keine groartigen Raumklangeffekte – aber dafr wurde AirComm nicht geschaffen. Ich bin sehr beeindruckt, was die Audio und auch Sprachqualitt betrifft. Auch etwaige Probleme mit zu leisem Micro kann ich definitiv nicht besttigen. Meine Gesprchspartner gaben keinen Grund dazu.
Jetzt zum Eigentlichen, meiner Meinung nach grtem Kaufargument. Ich hatte mittlerweile einige Kopfhhrer, Pods usw ausprobiert und empfand diese als extrem un-komfortabel nach einer lngeren ununterbrochenen Nutzungszeit. Die Opencomm von Aftershokz sind nun fr mich endlich der Durchbruch. Selbst nach einem Marathon-Online-Besprechungstag habe ich weder Schmerzen noch andere negative Auswirkungen. Fr mich ist dieses Headset unschlagbar und die beste Wahl.
Die Akkulaufzeit mchte ich auch noch kurz erwhnen. 10h Dauerkonferenz – kein Thema 🙂
Im brigen nutze ich die Aftershokz jetzt schon eine knappe Woche und freue mich endlich das fr mich passende Headset gefunden zu haben.
When I first received this product I experienced a bunch of problems in Windows 10 and 11 when using Microsoft Teams or Zoom. My microphone would work, but my audio wouldn’t most of the time. It turns out that I was using a Bluetooth 4 dongle which doesn’t seem to be completely compatible with this headset. Switching to a Bluetooth 5 dongle (I bought an Asus BT500) solved all of my problems and it’s been perfect since. Would definitely recommend.
Ich nutze die AfterShokz OpenComm seit 2 Tagen und ich bin total begeistert.
Ich hatte bisher nicht getraut, diese Knochenschall-Technik auszuprobieren, aber frs Home-Office perfekt, wenn man nebenher auch hren mchte was sich sonst so im Umfeld tut.
Der Klang fr die Musikwiedergabe ist allerdings nicht gut – da geht nichts ber meine Apple AirPods Pro.
Aber das Telefonieren, ob am Mobilfunk-Endgert oder per MS-Teams (durch “Multipoint”-Funktion) ist fr mich perfekt. Am meinem PC scheint allerdings die Bluetoothverbindung etwas schwach zu sein, daher setze ich zustzlich einen Bluetooth-Dongle ein – damit klappt alles hervorragend.
Auch die Verbindung zu beiden Gerten funktioniert automatisch.
Selbst wenn man das Headset den ganzen Tag trgt, schmerzt oder drckt nichts.
Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung.
I use the headset for calls and to chat with friends on Discord when Zwifting. Comfortable for long use as they use bone conduction and don’t sit on or in ear. Small boom mic is good and seems to cancel surrounding noise, focusing on my voice. Controls are a little fiddly but I don’t consider this to be a showstopper. They are quite expensive but good quality and do a really good job for a bluetooth headset. I wouldn’t recommend these if you primarily want to listen to music – they sound okay but are not intended for this as primary function. If you want them for calls or Discord/gaming use, they are great. Picked mine up in Black Friday deal saving 25% (c. 35).
These were bought as a Christmas gift so unable to comment on use. However they get good reviews so I’m sure the recipient will be pleased. Delivery as usual from Amazon was very quick. Happy
Le rsultat est bluffant en termes de confort. On oublie littralement qu’on a un casque sur les oreilles et le sentiment d’oppression et d’isolement ressenti en portant un casque toute la journe disparat.
La qualit sonore est trs satisfaisante pour les voix. La qualit du microphone est galement trs bonne.
Comme cela a t dit par ailleurs, ce n’est videmment pas un casque “audiophile”. Le spectre reproduit est assez limit et la qualit du son varie sensiblement avec la position du casque, mais on peut couter un peu de musique sans problme.
Mes principaux griefs concernent le Bluetooth et l’aspect logiciel :
– L’utilisation du multipoint est tout sauf intuitive (le mode d’emploi ne le mentionne mme pas, il faut aller chercher la procdure sur internet) et la connexion / reconnexion est totalement alatoire. En gros, chaque fois que je m’loigne de mon bureau, je dois teindre et rallumer le casque pour qu’il retrouve la connexion au PC et au tlphone. Trs dommage.
– La partie logicielle est trs loin en-dessous de ce que fait la concurrence. L’utilisation avec Skype / Teams… est totalement artisanale. On ne peut mme pas rgler le volume depuis le casque pendant un call (quand on appuie sur les boutons de volume, on obtient juste un bip et l’indication du niveau de batterie), ni mettre en mute ou raccrocher. Et comme il n’y a aucune appli ddie, il ne faut apparemment pas esprer la moindre mise jour.
Richtig: Das Gert ist teuer. Zum Musikhren auch nur bedingt geeignet: Da die bertragung per Knochenschall erfolgt, geht einiges Qualitt verloren. Aber: Zum telefonieren hatte ich noch nie eine bessere Freisprecheinrichtung. An der Gegenstelle kommt das Gesprch besser an, als mit dem Telefon am Ohr. Was unglaublich ist: Nebengrusche werden perfekt “abgefangen”. Ob schreiendes Kind im Zug, das Klappern von Geschirr beim Ausrumen der Splmaschine oder Gesprche in der Umgebung: Der Gesprchspartner hrt davon absolut nichts. Auerdem hat auch die eigene Umgebung keine Chance, den Gesprchspartner zu hren. Darber hinaus ist die Bedienung denkbar einfach.
Sometimes I could hear myself on the other side, otherwise it is awesome!
This Headset is great for its use case. It is optimized for voice but not for music, and that’s why I bough it in the first place.
While on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 voice calls sound crisp and clear. Volume works great according with your needs. I used Microsoft Teams and it was flawless. Music sound was very thin but usable.
I connected the headset with my corporate laptop, it is a Dell Latitude 5320. Audio from Youtube and YT music was choppy, but it was not the headset problem but Dell’s problem. Dell laptops are known for problems with bluetooth, nonetheless I used the Aftershocks with Microsoft Teams on this laptop and surprisingly, audio was great, crispr and clear and was not choppy, which was great and weird since any other audio including system audio was choppy.
I recommend this headset to anyone who want to be comfortable while on home office during long hours and also want to be aware of your sorroundings. Headset is very comfortable and it is very well made. Yes it is a quality product. It looks a lot better on video conferences than my current Jabra on the ear headset. It can even be worn outside and take calls without looking weird (the mic was covered with my face mask so the headseat was barely noticed).
Buy this if you want a comfy headset to be worn on long hours. I would say go for it if you use Microsoft Teams but your miles may vary depending on the hardware of your Laptop. On my mobile the Aftershoks worked great. The voice always sounded crisp and clear. This headset does not disappoint in the voice department. The people on the other side also said my voice was crisp and clear.
Here it is what can be improved:
1. Use USB C to charge it instead of the proprietary one. It is more convenient.
2. The case is very well made but it is VERY large for the headset. This case can be manufactured with the same quality on the third of the size and be still great and protective. I will look for a smaller third case option because this case takes a lot of space in my current backpack.
3. Improve sound for music. Aftershok might incorporate different sound profiles so voice calls remain crisp and clear and improve on music when needed.
4. Make a UC version of the headset to avoid any connection issue on PCs… and also that is bluetooth capable so I can connect it to my smartphone.
5. Allow multiple simultaneous connections.
I will buy it again. Definitely, it is a great headset if its main use is for voice applications.
I normally work from home and I do a lot of Zoom calls with customers using a Jabra 750 speakerphone connected to my Mac to avoid the discomfort (heat, sweat, itchiness) you normally get from headphones after several hours of meetings. Since my wife also started working from home, and our meetings were interfering with each other, I wanted to go back to headphones.
I have to say the AfterShokz are VERY COMFORTABLE. They also have great listening sound quality, but several people have complained that now its much harder to hear me, and my voice occasionally cuts out at the start of sentences. It’s not terrible, but I do find myself having to repeat myself which is not great when I’m leading a meeting or training session.
I’m playing around with boom position and such, but it’s possible I may have to switch back to the Jabra if I can’t figure out the problem. Possibly there is a software update or something I can adjust on the noise cancelling if there is some kind of app for the device. Will update this if I find a solution.
