This guy is the Truth about these!!!!! Been wearing these for 2 months now!!!! And I’m a truck driver. Feel naked without them
Man this bro wasn't lying. Best headset I've gotten in a while. Im a truck driver, bought them based off of your review.
Awesome if ever the sound gets shitty it isn’t you it’s the other persons phone. Best way to hear them as clearly as possible is pop in an earplug. One is always good enough for me.
One thing about them that stays true is the other Roberson will ALWAYS hear you very clearly
Hey bro nice real-world-application-no-BS review. Also have one. Really handy for calls. Im a military doctor so its really useful in the OR and conferences. Tried to use it on the gun range. I was afraid the boom mic might get busted due to loud gunshots but it didn’t lost its quality. Definitely a great buy.
Isnt it?!
it worked at a gun range??? that is wild considering people have reviews where you are hearing their kids in the background
Man this is the truth. I used to rock the blue parrot 450 than got the 550. Problem with those is they squeeze the shit out of your head. Bought these last week and man game changer. Feels like your wearing nothing. Now it is true it does hurt but just take them off and readjust and your good. There a bit pricey, but if your gonna be wearing a headset for 14 hours I think the money is worth it.
Just got a pair at Love’s Truck stop. Used a Blue Parrot 550xt, and got headaches. Sound quality of the parrot is legit but man on hot days/cold days, snowy days it sucks. Local Tanker driver. Fell in love with the shokz. Can hear and the quality is legit!! Obviously not as loud as a blue parrot but it definitely is loud. Thanks for the review, you are the reason l bought it. Stay safe out there !!
You’re very welcome! And enjoy!
These are the best headphones I ever had. I wear them all day sometimes I forget I'm wearing them. You can hear everything going on around you in the truck and hear what ever your listening or talking too.
Thanks Brother, just starting out and was do'n my homework and came across your review. Hell of a bump in the direction I was already going.
Best,
A.
Here’s the link bro amzn.to/3hampZC
I'm comparing the Shokz and the BlueParrott 450. The Shokz seems more minimalist (lighter - easier to forget you're wearing it though you may need to shift it sometimes as it does SLIGHTLY clamp onto your head). However, it's battery life is lower. I also feel like sometimes I struggle to hear who I am listening to at full volume - while dealing the noise of my truck while driving (I work for FedEx Freight). I often will put an ear plug in one ear to help hear who I am speaking to though that defeats the purpose of the Shokz. Even with the ear plug in, I feel I can hear better with the BlueParrott 450 without the BlueParrott even being at max volume. Usually, the Shokz battery would last during my linehaul runs (usually around a 12 hour day), however, sometimes it would die if I used it heavily enough. The BlueParrott has yet to die before completing my day. Multiple people have said the Shokz headset microphone does sound better than my Galaxy Buds Pro that I used in the past. However, once again, they notice the BlueParrott sounds even better - noticably so. The Shokz wrap around the back of your head rather than the top of your head so that may be a pro or a con depending on your situation but I feel the Shokz layout is a minor annoyance when I tilt my head back or lean back on my sit in a certain way - though this is, once again, is of minor significance. I feel the Shokz might be easier to wear longer and it is more secure to the head - it would be the preference if putting your body in different orientations than merely keeping your head upright or if used while "being athletic."
ULTIMATELY, I am returning the Shokz because, with the BlueParrott 450, I don't struggle to hear who I'm speaking to in a noisy environment, the battery will likely always last even on the longest of days and the microphone setup is better so the people I speak to hear me more clearly. The BlueParrott 450 makes communication more effortless so I can delegate more focus to driving.
Totally agree with you👏 I returned them back.
I've had 3 of them. More comfortable than any headset I've used. Sound quality is very good. But, I haven't had one last past 10 months. Aftershock will give you a free one to replace them.
Yea had mine 2 years before I replaced it for free with aftershockz!
How is it for call quality compared to like the best apple earbuds? I'm more concerned about what the other person is hearing. I'm my own dispatcher so I'm on the phone throughout the whole day while i drive and enter businesses. Great review by the way 👍
I just got a set I was rocking the Bose glasses with the down firing speakers for the last year but they squeeze the sides of my head to tight and kinda hard to hear sometimes in the truck. This is a great product so far
Just canceled the blue parrot 🐦 lol I'm so glad I ran in to your video thank you brother 🚚💥💥🌵👊
I’m glad
Now thats I want after hearing this dude!
I love this headset I charge it at night and wear it all day never hear a low battery warning. The microphone mute was more elegant but at least it has one
Just purchased a pair. Been looking for a comfortable headset and I didn’t want one of the bulky ones that are common amongst truckers.
Update: Can confirm that these were a great purchase. Comfortable and the sound/call quality is great. Kind of tickles the inside of the ears if the volume is too higher.
These are not the best , but they are perfect for situations where you want more situational awareness without having your ears covered.
That’s what they’re the best for.
Such a Laid Back Dude, Thx for the review.👍🏾👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I like the overhead blue Patriot. But these seem pretty cool.
By the mile, you get us the best review!
More to come!
Used since December and, just like said in the video, there is no ambient noise through mic other than your voice. It is so directional that, unless you have the mic in the down position, your phone party won't hear you speaking.
thanks for an honest review!! I have blue parrot but that sumbitch starts to hurt ear being on awhile!
Thanks for such a detailed review
Don Francisco coffee at Wally World is the best, especially French vanilla macadamia nut. Will have to get me a headset like that.
I had them for about a week then returned them. They are comfortable but the sound quality isn't as good as blue parrot. I also tried the top rand McNallys but retuned them too. For sound quality I don't think blue parrot can be beat.
Nope
Should of turned on truck and did video outside near engine 🤔 can't tell with no noise
bro ty a honest review i needed
can you keep charging when using it
I just bought this today. So far I'm NOT VERY IMPRESSED. I like the style and the weight.
The in call quality is my complaint. I not too fond of the vibration in front of my ear.
I'm compensating by putting only one next to my ear.
Now to me the call quality could be smoother.
I've only been using them for 3 hrs so far but I'll give them more of a chance now that I've just got one in and one out.
If someone has you on speaker phone you can't hear them .. I always have to tell them take me off speaker cause I can't hear you. I honestly bought these cause of this review but now kinda regretting it .. I like the open ear design , the vibrations are annoying have to turn the volume down to cancel the vibrations .. but ppl I talk to say they hear me perfectly I just can hardly hear them .. this headset better off for a office job , not trucking
@@CrazyAlien96 you need some ear plugs
Dang. Just went to check them out and they are sold out. 😭
One thing nobody ever mentions is how good is the volume when you're in a loud truck?
I can hear with the window down by popping into earplugs. Just common sense though you know
@@MrByTheMile ok . I'm confused. Does it come with earbuds ?
@@TheIroneagle86 🤔🤣
@@MrByTheMile help ....me !!! In my Kevin Hart voice
I thought the samething
Can you hook-up more than 1 device with the aftershocks?
Well spoken great video
I appreciate that
I have a knock off of this. It doesn't fit well on my fathead and nobody can hear me. I'm hesitant to buy this,if it doesn't fit right and not great noise cancelation.
'Bout to pull the trigger on a pair... the Blueparrot cuts out so much of my "situational awareness" while driving...
Link is in the description
@@MrByTheMile Went ahead, and used my points at a Love's... Wow... what a difference!! My Blueparrot 450 has officially become a "backup"... LOL!
Do they not Make these anymore
I don't know why but I literally can't hear shit with this on while on the road. To be able to hear anything I gotta blast them and they start vibrating and shaking uncomfortably. Am I the only one who has this issue?
Theres enough testimonials out there about how clearly people here you but nobody ever says how good is the sound quality in a noisy truck. Can you hear people speak to you loud and clear?
It depends on the quality of the earphones the person that you are speaking to are using. Most of the time other people are using speaker phones so you can hear what they’re saying but you might miss some of the words. When that happens I just pop in an earplug in one ear and leave the other open. I’m a flatbed truck driver so I’m always strapping in securing loads right? Hands-free the whole timeWithout being annoyed by wires. Not to mention you come in crystal clear to the people that you’re talking to
Somewhere I'd heard TMC does not allow drivers to use those when driving. But I'm not sure if that's true. Does your company have a policy against them?
No
Can you hear other ppl as far as in the truck driving ?
Yes. Have in at least one earplug though. I like this headset because I’ve had it since a few months before the making of this video and it’s still good. Plus it costs almost 200 bucks less than a blue parrot
Aftershokz are the best
Are they loud you didn't say how the ear volume is
It depends on the quality of the other persons earphones or phone. If they sound too low for you, check your volume and if it’s all the way up stick an ear plug in. Still beats being attacked to a wire or using ear buds. These are far superior to earbuds.
Very good review
How comfortable are they when wearing glasses? Do they push your ears out quite a bit combined with the glasses?
Thinner the earpiece on your glasses the better
@@MrByTheMile THANKS
I have the model before this one, I flick my glasses arms up about 3mm and they sit above the headset and never get pain from having my glasses arm pressed into my head or ear like I do with other headsets
I'm concerned about size. I have a huge head. Usually wear 2 to 3xl on hats. Are they size adjustable?
you'll be alright. if not send em back right?
can it connect to 2 or more phones ?
What about the noise in the background when you unload the truck
Ear plug in one ear. Problem solved. Also people I’m speaking to can’t hardly hear any background noise.
Unfortunate that it illegal to use dual ear headset. You have to keep one ear open for safety reasons.
Mine only last 2 hours of talk time
Hey ,Truck driver here, I read a review where another driver could not place calls via (hey siri call or hey google call) voice command or button prompts.
Is this an Operator error or can you only accept calls?
I have no issues using Siri at all
@@MrByTheMile thank you! I'll be buying one right now, I really appreciate ya man, stay safe out there :)
@@Ger0n1m0 link amzn.to/3BdUnVK
I now own a pair and they work awesome :)
Update: still holding strong, not uncomfortable. I wear them rain or shine, sweaty or dry. I love them.
What about the microphone sound quality, please? Do it loud enough?
I never get any complaints
@@MrByTheMile yeah, but your own feeling, did you used it in messengers like whatsapp to record a voice message may be... Just received mine Opencomm - very disappointed, seems to be a warranty case.
Would be junk for me in the oilpatch. I keep reading reviews saying the noise level sucks and my truck is fuckin LOOUUD lol.
Ordering them 650 xt and sena sph10 to see which one I like more and return the other.
Are they noise canceling?
Yes
Nice so these are made specifically for truckers or they are tht good tht truckers use them. Asking cause im looking for a good pair
@@showmartinez3460 made for active people who want a cordless free experience. More and more truck drivers are wearing them though. They served me well as a flatbedder. If you want them a link is in the description box
@@MrByTheMile awesome thanks bro. Think ill givem a try
Speaking from personal experience It was a no go for me. I am a truck driver as well and it was very hard to hear and for others to hear me.
My voice sounded faint and i could barely hear my conversation because I constantly had to keep adjusting the headset for the conducting part to stay in place and be able to hear a bit better. I’m not sure if it was because of the shape of my head or it was just simply the headset. On a positive note it was very comfortable to wear I could barely tell it was there.
From what I’ve read from other reviews is that the nature of bone conduction headsets do not perform well in noisy environments. This is all from my personal experience.
You need to put in an ear plug. They work great for me.
@@MrByTheMile at that point it defeats the purpose of the headset.
@@easepulvedamaximus how so? The point is to have a cordless headset that doesn’t fall out of your ears. Either way, something needs to be in your ear to hear better isn’t that right? That’s why they come with…. Earplugs!!! Plug in one ear, and you can hear way better in noisy environments. Good luck with the cords and those earplugs that DONT wrap around your head!
@@MrByTheMile The purpose of the headset is to have both of your ears open hence the name OPENCOMM!!! I’m not saying it’s a bad headset but it has its applications just not around noisy environments like trucking.
I have used them at home where there is no noise and had no problem at all apart from having to keep adjusting them.
What are you talking about good luck with the cords and those earplugs that don’t wrap around your head??? 😂😂 I use an in ear Bluetooth headset. By law you know you can’t have both ears covered while driving so I don’t get your point on that.
Mine didn’t come with earplugs It might be a newer model. I purchased my headset last mont so it might be the newer ones that don’t come with earplugs but thats my point. Even AfterShockz knows that they aren’t meant for noisy environments and if you are going to use an earplug then it defeats the purpose of the headset which is to have both ears open. At that point just use an over the ear or in ear Bluetooth headset.
I’m not trying to discredit you or say it’s a bad headset its just simply not meant for noisy environments in my experience. If it has been working for you and you don’t mind having an earplug that’s great. But in my opinion I can’t justify spending $160 for something that defeats it’s purpose and isn’t practical for a noisy environment. Just speaking from personal experience.
@@easepulvedamaximus in my experience it’s GREAT in noisy environments. Earplug in one ear. Problem solved.
dot ever say anything about being both ears?
Legal because it does not obstruct the ear canals
@@MrByTheMile I thought so but wasn't sure because it does have sound on both sides. wondering if dot officers would have any problem with it
