Now Hear This! Aftershokz Sportz Titanium Headphone Review

2/17/2017

"Disclaimer: I received a pair of Aftershokz Sportz Titanium Headphones to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!"

Last year, I had the opportunity to try the wireless Trekz Titanium headphones from Aftershokz. They sit just outside your ear, not inside them, and conduct sound through your bones. You can read my review here. So when I had the opportunity to try their Sportz model, I wholeheartedly agreed!

Here's what comes in the box
The Sportz headphones are wired with a microphone. The main reason I wanted to try these so badly is because I work from home a few days a week and do a lot  of conference calls on my cell phone (no land line). The idea of having clearer sound than what comes from regular   earbuds was very appealing. My  box  arrived with a Aftershokz aluminum water bottle, carrying pouch and charger.

Not a bad place to have a conference call!
I first tried them sitting on my front porch on a conference call.  There is ambient noise like cars,birds, etc. I could  hear my call very clearly and they could hear me!

Technology –
The totally unique aspect of these headphones is the use of bone conduction technology.  The sound is just as great as if they were sitting inside your ears, honestly.  But your ears are left open to hear approaching cars, etc.
  • Bone conduction technology delivers music through your cheekbones, ensuring ears remain completely open to hear ambient sounds
  • Titanium headband is lightweight and flexible for durability and portability
  • OpenFit™ design ensures maximum situational awareness and comfort during long-term wear
  • PremiumPitch+™ guarantees a premium audio experience, including wide dynamic range and rich bass
  • Reflective headband provides visibility at night
  • In-line controls for play, skip, and pause
  • LeakSlayer™ technology significantly reduces natural sound leakage
  • Repels sweat, dust and moisture, from workouts to wicked weather
  • Enjoy twelve hours of continuous music + calls on a single charge
  • Noise canceling microphone reduces surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech
Hassle-free 2-year warranty

Taking a selfie break on my run
I wanted to try these on a run.  Honestly I am used to wireless so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about using these. I took them for a  5.5 mile run and it worked out great. The sound was  awesome.  I was running in a high traffic area so it was good to still be able to hear my surroundings.

Listening to the BibRave Podcast! And still able to hear the birds chirping :)
I also took them for a walk to listen to a podcast. I received a few phone calls while I was listening to the podcast, and  it was easy to answer,hear and be heard.

Sportz headphones up close, power button and charging port in foreground
Setting up was easy, I made sure to charge them  right away. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to open up the little  charging port.

I did want  to use the headphones  a few days later  for a conference call and they were dead. I guess its really important to hit the power button  when you’re done and  make  sure they are charged when you want to use them! 
 
When you purchase them at this special link, they will bundle it with an aftershokz aluminum waterbottle!
 

They retail for $59.99, and come in blue or black. Right now you can score a free water bottle when you purchase at http://bibrave.aftershokz.com!
