Vložit

- I love listening to music and podcasts on my runs but have always been apprehensive of shutting out the world around me with headphones, so AfterShokz Trekz Air are a game-changer for me. Here are my thoughts on these bone conducting headphones.

I love the headphones. I’ve been using them for over a year and totally agree with your review. I can hear cars when I’m running through the city and my music at the same time. I feel totally safe wearing them. The sound quality for me is fine for running but I only use them for exercise and not when I’m at home, as the vibrations can Irritate me.
Yeah I agree, I use them for running and cycling and enjoy the experience. But at home I’ll use others so that I can shut the world out when I’m working and stay concentrated haha.
Thank you for the video in the first place. As yourself, I’ve had my fair schare of disappointment with previous headphones. Saw these the other day and got me curious. Seems You’re pointing out the advantages/features I’m looking for. Thank you again for the review! Kind regards, Tom
Just ordered these. I go free climbing or hiking 3-4 times a week and have been lugging my bluetooth speaker around in my backpack for music since wearing heaphones takes away from nature sounds and is a safety problem. Can't wait to experience bone conduction!
Great product. I love mine too! Totally agree with everything you say. Every other pair of traditional headphones I’ve ever tried always fall out, especially when they get sweaty. These stay in place because they don’t go in the ear, don’t shut you off from the world and the sound is really good!
Awesome glad to hear you’re enjoying them Oliver and hope you’re well!
Holy crap, was not expecting to hear Hot Snakes at the beginning. Those dudes are amazing!
I’ve had a pair of the older version for over a year now and they are superb. I couldn’t go back to conventional headphones now for all the reasons you pointed out. I’d highly recommend them to anyone. I find the battery life impressive as well. I’d say I get at least 10 hours usage between charges. I think the shapes around the ear on the ones you have looks better than mine as I need to tie my hair in a pony tail and rest the back on it to stop then sliding down, but it’s not a big issue bearing in mind the advantages. The sound quality is excellent compare to all my previous sports headphones.
I currently used wired headphones and am getting to the point where I want rid of the wires. I will have a look at them thanks for the review.
Great let me know if you get a pair and how you get on.
Thank you so much for your review. I have been looking for some headphone to use on my trail runs. The trails I frequent are also used by mountain bikers and i need to be able to hear when they come behind you and want to pass.
Looks like good quality equipment Harry. What do you use for running and carrying your phone? Haven't done that in years because hate the arm bands and all that. This made me curious.
Hey man, I use a Naked running band V2. They are a fantastic piece of kit, I've raced ultras carrying bottles, mandatory gear etc with one with little to no bounce. This is their site if you are interested: www.nakedsportsinnovations.com/shop-online
I use those too, they are great. I agree, they are good for safety but also part of the enjoyment of nature is being able to hear it but you still want background to keep you going 😃
Good review Harry, thanks. Have you used this with sunglasses? I’m thinking of getting some but as someone that runs in sunglasses a lot I can’t see how these headphones would work.
Only trouble with the over ear design is the lack of comparability with sunglasses. I swear I’ll never find a set of headphones that are perfect for my running requirements!!
Thank you Harry..have to test those👍😊
Cool let me know how you get on.
Great to know. I currently use air pods but I’ll take a look at the link :)
I must of got a bad pair because mine lasted about 3 months. Unfortunately I never registered them so I was unable to use the warranty. I went with the wired version of Aftershokz now and they are working great. The battery lasts a lot longer too.
Sorry to hear that they didn't last you. Mine seem to still be going strong and hope it stays that way.
Thanks for this recommendation for the headphones. Its my first time hearing about bone conducting headphones. I was wondering if you experience any kind of fatigue/irritation after listening thru them for long hours?
I have no issue personally when using these for extended periods on long runs, but just like any headphones I'm conscious not ramp up the volume to a very high level. I imagine if you were listening with them on full blast then it could cause irritation and important to keep in mind you will have noise from traffic etc too coming in the ear as intended in the design. For me they are about a good compromise to listening to music but being aware of what's around whilst not shutting the world out around me as with a traditional headphone.
Kind of a late reply but I highly recommend the Jaybird Tarah Pro's as well. Wireless headphones built for endurance athletes, can't go wrong with the 14 hour battery life.
Jaybirds are great, but the point of the Trekz Air is so that you can hear the noise around you while listening to music/podcasts.
Great Video!
just a few questions,
where do you keep the phone? mine keeps bouncing around in my pocket and keeps bothering me. and what bag do you use?
Welcome to Thailand :D
Is the connectrion good enough to connect them to your watch withouth constantly having breakups because of the distance?
Iv got a pair and I love them 🙌great review
Great to hear!
Does the sound “leak”? Could others around you hear?
I’ve got the titanium is this worth the upgrade? I only got mine for 64 pounds...
i tried these and sadly, they drove me around the bend, constantly trying to slip off my head once I got warm or sweaty - i needed a cap to hold them on. I found the sound poor and anyone next to you can hear what you're listening to. I suspect they work for some people but not at all for others which was a shame. Have continued to stick with my Bose sport models for now, or anything that has Comply foam earbuds.
ha ha shout out to the Dcondo campus crew! I was living there when this video was released :D
I loved mine. But then I was very sweaty and was doing forward bends and stretching after run with them on. Looots of sweat dripping killed them as they are not water proof - so keep that in mind. Otherwise amazing product...
Same here... Waiting for my replacement which will not get used on the treadmill.
Is this the most recent model? I’m wearing mine in high humidity and heat, sweating like crazy and they seem to manage with it fine so far. Hope you manage to get a replacement that suits.
Now that's why the waterfall it so familiar.You live in thailand.
Been using the Trekz Titanium for about 4 or 5 months now and can't see myself going back to "normal" headphones.
That’s awesome.
What music do you like to listen to while running?
Anything and everything!
Powerbeats pros?
How are they when running in sunglasses?
Great question, I have no problem wearing them with my sunglasses, bike helmet, hats etc...
Where do you put your phone when you run?
I use a Naked Running Band, for phone, water bottle, nutrition etc.
You have any recommendation for a watch?
There are so many great models out there at the moment. It all depends on what you need it for and how much battery life you need. I’m using the Suunto Spartan Ultra at the moment and enjoying that.
Thanks man! Any reason you like Suunto over Garmin? Have been looking at Fenix 5 reviews..
I don't particularly have a preference between the two, Suunto's are generally a little lighter though, the Fenix 5 is a great watch though, heavier than the Suuntos , but of course it could be argued that this makes it a more versatile watch.
Thanks for taking the time to answer! Btw, loove your vids!
Thanks F J!
Harry, what are your go to podcasts?
Rich Roll, Radiolab, Ultra Runner Podcast, Training for Ultra, Talk Ultra are a few. But listen to some random science ones now and again. Need to find some new ones though. Any recommendations?
@@HarryRunsUK I like Ultra runner podcast as well, I haven't heard of training for ultra or talk ultra I'll check those out. The other one I like is trail runner nation. I'm a medical student so most of my other listening is medical education podcasts ("#FOAMed").
That's awesome, it's great to be able to get in some good knowledge, science and ideas on a run through a podcast.
Very good when it was working. But very unreliable product, and my experience when returning them for warranty after just 5 months of use is terrible. Some of my friends also had problems with the product's reliability on normal use.
Sorry to hear that, I’ve had no issues so far and hope it stays that way. I hope you managed to resolve the issue in the end.
Um...you never said a word about the sound quality or how long the battery lasts. Both of these are very important points for me when evaluating a headphones/earbuds. So how do they sound? And how long do they last? Thanks.
I mention at around 1:40 that the audio is good - I was really impressed with the quality. Battery life is 6 hours.
@@HarryRunsUK cool thanks.
I use Plantronics backbeat fit, good sound quality, 8hrs battery life from not even an hour charge, they never fall out and I've used them on three marathons this year including in the rain and they've never broken or missed a beat. Around about 30m range for Bluetooth connection.
Small world, I'm literally posting my review of these in just a week or so. I have... mixed feelings on the sound quality. Objectively, compared to my 'good' headphones (Senn 598s) and good speakers (Elac B6s,) they are not good headphones for actually listening to music. The bass response is particularly weak (and this is coming from someone who wants accurate bass, not OMG BASS.) Songs with pounding basslines will simply barely have them. These are not headphones you buy for listening to music at home. Now that said... Overall, I absolutely love these. My Jaybirds *sound better,* but I also have to jam them back in my ear every 10 minutes or so. Insanely annoying to me. The Aftershokz will never come off or do anything other than give you music. When I'm deep on a run, I care less about objective SQ and just want music in my brain, and these are perfect for me.
Battery life has easily been 6-8hrs for me.
For sure great points Justin. These are great for running, having a backing track whilst staying aware of what's going on around you. That's 100% what I enjoy in these headphones. If you are after shutting out everything around you when working or just listening to music purely at home etc then there are headphones better suited for it.
So with these you still have to have your phone with you whilst running?
Alot of GPS watches can hold music :)
@@amrunning1301 doesn't that drain the watch battery really fast?
@@Eric-lx8hp FORERUNNER 645 will last 5-6 hours, not sure about the others, i only really run 3-4 hours max on my long runs and works fine :)
Helllo sir pls can you help me with 1mile run. I am running 68sec 400 .but can not run sub 5 min mile my goal is to attempt 4:30min mile .pls help me ..
I couldn't run a sub 5-minute mile until I was at 58 seconds 400 meter
@@Slade366 so how did you make it to 58sec 400 any program you had followed or what.?
@@ishu3285 There's probably some very detailed programs, but the easiest thing for me was to run easy miles as often as I could and run some 400 meter repeats once per week, and a 3-5 mile hard run once for week. 80% of your running should be quite easy (8-9+ minute pace) and you should aim to increase your mileage as much as possible. 40+ per week, eventually up to 80+ if you want to maximize your potential. I have hardly any talent but after running around 45 miles a week for a few months you should be able to run a sub 5 mile.
@@Slade366 thanx saldw
These headphones was definitely not for me. I had buyers remorse as soon as I got them. They give me a headache with the constant vibration on my ear drums.
Sorry to hear that. Did you or have you tried changing the equaliser settings, holding both the volume buttons at the same time? This lowers the bass levels and reduces vibrations.
Fuck, they’re expensive!
Headphones out on trails? really? When i'm out on a run, i like to listen to nature and enjoy the scenery. If i need more stimulus, i probably need to rest and recover :-)
Yeah I agree and for sure I’m not listening to music the whole time I’m out there. But that’s very much the reason I enjoy these as the music is more of a backing track to the nature sounds, footfall and environment around me, or a podcast good company during a 5 hour training mission in the mountain when things can get tough on your own.
