Aftershokz Trekz Air or Aeroplex?

As I'm going to be heading over to the US next Saturday I was considering buying a pair of Aftershokz from the duty free shops in the airport.

I've tried them on in the airport before and found them ok, not run in any though. I did buy Mrs LeeU a pair of cheap bone conducting headphones for her to try.

My questions to all of you are:

How many others use these and what's your impression of them?

And, has anyone tried the Aeroplex version and how do you rate them?

I use them and they are great. Not B&O but good enough.

I’ve seen the new version in Costco much thinner at the back and smaller controls.

Still able to hear traffic and cyclist bells so from a safety aspect they are great

I have aftershokz trekz air. I love them. Bought them for cycling but they're brilliant for running too. I'm not too demanding, but I think the sound is great. I thought they'd bounce about as I run, but absolutely not. I always pick them up rather than other pairs of wireless in-ear headphones that I still have. No idea about the newer model, but I'm very happy with my trekz air.

I already have an in-ear Bluetooth headset but, obviously, you can't hear anything else, which was good in the gym or at home on the treadmill but not idea for outside.

I'll try Mrs LeeU's cheap bone conducting ones tomorrow and see how I get on with them.

Not what you're looking for?
