Sensational! The wealth of information I get from your channel is priceless. The only reason I own a pair of the Aftershox Titanium is because of a video you did in the past (probably over a year ago?). I had never even heard of “bone conduction” - but once you did a review and explained everything so impeccably I was instantly sold on it and was able to get one later. I have enjoyed it ever since!! Now I will be saving for the upgraded Aeropex model that’s sleeker and more comfortable!!! Thank you 😊!!!
Im posting this comment after purchasing the openmove. I ended up buying the openmove from a local shop - the aeropex was twice as expensive. At the shop, they had the aeropex available to try -It was small, light and doesnt feel like its on your head at all. The entire mould can move and become conformant to the shape of your head, including the ear hook. I have a rather large head - I've always required xl helmets for my motorcycles and the same applied bicycle as well. The aeropex seemd to just fit my head and didnt come in the way irrespective of how I moved my head (I also wear glasses). The above being said, I just shrugged and thought the openwave would be good enough for someone who needs it for the ocassional run and frequent bike rides. Took it home and just put it on. Boy oh boy, the difference is beyond just the 3g in weight - the aeropex is just that much more comfortable that I simply can NOT imagine wearing the openwave when I go for my bike rides etc. I can live with the difference in sound quality - im not after the best sound quality when Im riding my bike. I can NOT live with something that isnt comfortable. The culprit was the ear hooks on the openmove - it is rigid and wont shape around your ear. Also, the pods that sit above your jaw bone is bigger. The big and burly earhooks of the openwave also came in the way of my glasses. This made the openwave a deal breaker for me. If you have a large head and wear glasses, I would urge you to strongly consider the aeropex over this.
Thank you for this! While I have a small head, I wear quite thick glasses, which meant a slightly bulkier frame. Ear hooks have been the bane of my existence. Aeropex mini it is!
@@monoped8437 that’s because the commenter spelled it wrong LOL. It’s “otosclerosis” - my uncle has that. It’s a condition where the ear bones don’t vibrate like they’re meant to, causing hearing loss that’s not associated with the nerve. Then again, I have hearing loss too and “good nerves” (but bad cochleas). Lots of things can cause hearing loss!
I am the same way. The Aeropex is my primary headphone. When I block my ears, I am encased in whatever I am listening to, and it's an experience I don't want to get out of. It's incredible what this company has done.
That's very useful, thank you. When I bought a pair of Aftershokz, I was torn between the Aeropex and the Xtrainerz, and in the end, opted for the Xtrainerz. They are the most waterproof of them (useful should I ever get in a swimming pool again!) but are essentially an MP3 player and don't have Bluetooth, but instead have a 4GB storage for audio files. So it's a bit fiddly as I have to load up what I want to listen to in advance, but it means I'm not reliant on having a phone with me when I'm out.
I've been looking at investing in bone conduction headphones for a while now, ever since I saw a blind girl wear them. We were getting ready to cross an intersection here in Colorado Springs, CO. She said they work great for her being blind/vision impaired. For me I love listening to music when I walk my dog or just while I'm doing things around the house. So I need to be able to hear what's going on around me. I would love to test a set for myself so I know which one to get. Your video was a really great presentation on both products.
@@OneLessCar I actually do have one, if you know the answer. I'm not sure you watch video on your phone or computer, but most headphones have some delay which causes strange sync issues if you are watching video (like your channel =) ). I was wondering if you noticed any lag with these?
Thanks for another great video! I've been using these for about 2 years now. I learned about them from your channel. Had to get a pair replaced under warranty (connectivity issues) and had a great customer service experience. I have the Aeropex pair and do love them! Well worth the purchase.
If I went to far from my phone the signal would chop. Until returning to range. Then within a couple days the sound would chop all the time. Finally discovered that if you turn off the headphones, forget them on phone, restart phone, and then pare them again, everything returns to normal.
are the open move ones ok for multiplayer gaming where you listen to the gamers chat and can talk back? you see i like the design as it doesn't affect my hearing aids, i'm deaf since birth and if i wear normal big headphones that cover the ears i get alot of whistle feedback and it's unbearable lol these aftershokz look like the solution for me.
Thanks for the EXCELLENT review. I've been using my Titaniums daily at work for 4 years, 8 hours a day (despite the 6 hrs they are rated for). Yesterday the rubber broke at the top of the arch above where it sits on your ear. I'm not mad, I love them, but I need new ones, and I think I'm gonna jump in and get the Aeropex. They're more expensive, but I have faith in this product. I like the improvements they seem to have made.
I bought my Aeropex last week & it was worth it! I even used it for an entire rainy day ride & it is still working. Luckily the store have a demo unit for openmove & the staff knows both products well. Thank you again for this video
Fantastic review covering the key differences and similarities. I'm looking at my very first go at conduction headphones, and given that I don't intend to use them while on the move, is there any reason I should consider the OpenRun over the OpenMove? My use case is taking conf calls from home and listening to music, really occasionally. Thanks.
Was looking for earbuds for when I go cycling, I have AirPod pros and that has a setting that lets you hear outside, but I wanted something else. Was debating on getting some Beats wireless beats, but after scrolling I saw this aftershocks open move on sale for $55 instead of the $80+. I remember trying time bone conduction earbud glasses and actually thought they would be nice as cycling glasses, but I guess this will do. Can’t wait for mines to come in tomorrow and try them while I ride! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!!!
I wondered why their was earbuds in the packet now I use them when listening to music. Made the sound so much bigger. It's the cheaper ones I have which I find are just right for me. The battery seems to never die on mine. I've to do my warranty adjust got at I'm as a time to do it is say. Great review
Mine came in the post today, should be great on my bike!!! You didn't mention its a magnetic charging cable, very strong connection! Feels like good quality 😌👌 Just one problem, the print in the Aeropex user guide is absolutely minute. Extremely difficult to read! Even taking pics on my smartphone barely improves it. Fingers crossed 🤞
This is a very detail review and comparison. Would you please tell me how do you compare vibrations about these two headphones especially when listening to voice?
Vibration is most noticable wiht music because it's the base that causes it, talking voices don't give as much vibration. I talk about the difference in vibration between them in the video.
They are fine (you can see me wearing them with sunglasses in the video). The slimmer Aeropex are slightly better as there is less bulk but they both work fine.
After pressing on volume, it's says welcome to afteshockz and then I m not able to see red blue light blinking , neither the device name reflects on my cell ... what do I do, is there problem with my aftershock
Thanks for a great review. I am going to go for aeropex following your excellent review. However, just one question. I wear prescription glasses. Can I use aeropex and my glasses simultaneously?
Yes glass aren't a problem (the Aeropex in particular are very thin around the ear). I wear reading glasses. In the video you can see me wearing them with my sunglasses 👍
Thank you for your confirmation. Can I ask one more question please? Can the aeropex connect with and transition between Apple iPhone/iPad and Windows PC (zoom/teams calls)?
I just got the Openmove at a good price. Was pleasantly surprised by the sound! Wow! I did not have the unfair expectation they would be as good as a traditional headphone. The bass is not high, but I don't think its fair to compare with regular headphones. The sound is clean - even if the bass is not powerful - you can really hear the individual notes. But the number one thing is the volume level. On the Openmove I have to turn them all the way up , and almost all the way up on phone. It vibrates on my face. If the Aeropex are louder, and bonus having more bass, they would be ideal for me and I would be willing to pay the cost difference. You did not mention volume level, or bass level. Can you please help? I hate to put a manufacturer through buying both and sending one back. Thank you very much for anyone with experience. This is a great review btw
Nice revies... Just one thing: the part you show both devices (minute 7 / 8).... You move alot... Next time place them on the table for better comparison
With which one did you receive the call? Was it with the openmove? I'm thinking in getting the openmove, but one of my concerns is that I call my mom a lot and my current ear buds is to noisy when it's windy and she complains a lot that she can't hear me.
I read a user review on Amazon, where he talked about the Bluetooth levels of radiation where much higher on these headphones when compared to the standard Bluetooth earbuds and similar items, have you heard anything of the sort from any of your viewers or fellow aftershockz users🤔 I enjoyed your review.
I'll be honest, I used to own a (working pair) pair of the titanium. When I initially started using them, I experienced no issues; fairly comfortable to wear, with the occasional aches on my temples which I think was a result of me looking up and down too often from reading large suspended boards at work. I believe when I was in the 3month mark of wearing them (not to mention the massive rollout of 5g), I started to experience more light headaches when using them.. and it would resolve itself about an hour or so after taking them off. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, but that's my personal experience. I do miss them, and I trust the brand overall compared to others I've seen (haven't tried, tbh), and I just can't bring myself to wear in-ear buds anymore after using these things lol . Best of luck to you, friend.
The OpenRun are very much like the Titanium model in fit and feel, but the sound is better. The Aeropex have the best sound of the 3. However they just came out with the latest flagship pair to replace the Aeropex, you can learn about it here: ruclips.net/video/oPi69gV7ZSk/видео.html
Do you think they would be ok to practice singing I sing in the Barbershop style .We use teacher tracks but I have tinnitus in both ears the normal headphones make my tinnitus worse I can only use them for a short period of time. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Great review! I've been planning to buy aeropex and use it also as my daily driver. I was wondering how's it perform in phone calls or probably in conference calls too. TIA!
Hello. Bone conduction technology has always intrigued me. I am tempted to take the openmove, the only thing holding me back is the water resistance. I sweat a lot when I ride a bike. Are they suitable for a person who sweats a lot or is it better to play it safe with aeropexes? Thank you.
OpenMove would be completely suitable for sweat resistant. The IP rating covers that. We have a new shop and have a few left if you want to support the channel 😊 It's full of all the cycling products we love and have used over the years. We've just soft launched to family and friends and have discount code on for the next couple of weeks It's good until the end of the month onelesscar.life FAM&FRIENDSSUMMER10
Quick question but I want to get a set of Aftershokz for my wife but was wondering if they can be used while charging? She may need them for extended use in her office which is why I ask and I cannot find an answer. Thank you.
No they can't, when they are plugged into the charger they turn off. But unless she is continuously listening to something for over 8 hours they would last the day. You can also get a good charge in about 15 minutes if she wanted to top up on a break.
Right on I've been waiting for a review like this... because my trekz by titanium at the end of the life.. for the extra money the aeropex seems to be really worth it. Two extra hours of battery life and better water resistance or "waterproofing"
You'll find a big difference in the Aeropex in sound and comfort, when I upgraded from the Titanium I was impressed with what they'd done. I'll be curious to see what happens with the tecnology in the next 4-5 years! 😀
@@OneLessCar if you use aeropex extensively suck and cycling mtb running etc you will eventually break the loop that holds a connector. I have had 4 Aeropex so far lol. On the bright side they are replaced under warranty without fuzz which makes me believe it's a well known issue. I just gave up on them
The OpenMove model has a terrible fit. When the buds are placed right where they should be for good audio quality, the band around the back of the head sticks out and if you move your head up or down, it gets knocked around a bit and moves the buds. It's a constant adjustment at times.
I don't use it very often as a mic and never while riding, but I've used it for a job interview an got the job! My husband has said he couldn't hear me well a couple of times when using it, which could be my phone. I've not done enough testing on it to be sure. I will be sure to include this in my next review. They do make a model that is specifically for desk use with an external mic added on.
The open move ar more modern and a newer model then the aero pex. I dont see why Aeropex ar the most expensive, iv had the 2 and really I dont see or hear much off a diference between both . Personaly I think the open move ar more attractive design. And well worth 99 € here in Ireland..The Aeropex ar 179 €...
@@FabrizioSpinelli if you swear a lot during sports, I would consider something else; maybe an in-ear or over-the-ear headphone. Of course, those people around you might consider earplugs.
I returned my Aftershokz Aeropex today. I bought it yesterday. It was great in every way, except one thing: I expected it to be ONLY bone conduction, and not both bone conduction and the regular in-ear headphone. When I turned it on and put it on the table, it was so loud that I could hear it from outside my room! It was like a loudspeaker. I don't understand why they added the regular in-ear speaker function to it. It was really a pity that I had to return it. Does anyone know any headphone that has ONLY bone conduction sound, and not in-ear sound?
@@OneLessCar Thanks for your reply. I also held it in my "hand". I turned the volume up to "middle", and could hear it clearly when it was in my hand, ie a distance of about 30 centimetres from my ears. When I put it on highest level, it was really loud and clear. I would not call it headphone anymore, but loudspeaker! If it has no traditional speaker, then the problem was only my specific device, and not a general one. That is still strange. Can you please test this by holding your Aeropex in your "hand", while on highest level, and see if you hear anything?
thanks a lot for the video, now I know witch one to choose but.... please wear a helmet when you ride a bike. that, thanx again, regards from Santiago,CL.
If you have anything to do with the brand you should tell them they really have to make a hig quality one with STANDARD CONNECTOR !!!! Had the titanium, and like hundreds of them it break at the jonction with the polycarbonate end. I was willing to spend more money for the aeropex as it's full titanium construction. But proprietary connector ? Seriously ? There is no way !!
Generally IP67 isn't considered "fully waterproof." That would be IP68. IP67 headphones aren't something you'd want to fully immerse in water, like for swimming. They would be fine running or biking in the rain though. I wouldn't use IP55 in the rain.
They have an IP rating that is classified as waterproof. "The ratings widely accepted as ‘waterproof’ for most general purposes are IP65, IP66 and IP67." As per uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=ideas-and-advice/ip-ratings
@@OneLessCar It is not generally allowed in the watchmaking industry that watches be marked "waterproof" with an IP67 rating. They are considered "water resistant."
The beep is extremely loud yeah! If you have sensitive ears, the beeps will hurt when e.g. changing volume. I've been in contact with Aftershokz and they said that they have lowered the beep volume by 3 decibels on their production line. So if you get one that has been produced recently, it should be good. They couldn't tell me when they've made the change, so you can't know for sure until you take it out of the box and try it.
@@Xantulle I own Aeropex and at first the beep was really annoying. After 2 years it doesn't bother me at all. I came from Trekz Titanium (2+ years of usage) and liked the way beep was implemented there. It's volume depends on the current volume setting of your earphones. Makes sense. Why they changed something which was fine and made it worse I do not understand.
@@jdotoko I've got the upgraded version of the Aeropex in the meantime (same model, just newer production date) and the beeps are much much better! Not so excruciatingly loud. I love it for cycling!

Im posting this comment after purchasing the openmove.
I ended up buying the openmove from a local shop - the aeropex was twice as expensive.
At the shop, they had the aeropex available to try -It was small, light and doesnt feel like its on your head at all. The entire mould can move and become conformant to the shape of your head, including the ear hook. I have a rather large head - I've always required xl helmets for my motorcycles and the same applied bicycle as well. The aeropex seemd to just fit my head and didnt come in the way irrespective of how I moved my head (I also wear glasses).
The above being said, I just shrugged and thought the openwave would be good enough for someone who needs it for the ocassional run and frequent bike rides.
Took it home and just put it on. Boy oh boy, the difference is beyond just the 3g in weight - the aeropex is just that much more comfortable that I simply can NOT imagine wearing the openwave when I go for my bike rides etc. I can live with the difference in sound quality - im not after the best sound quality when Im riding my bike. I can NOT live with something that isnt comfortable. The culprit was the ear hooks on the openmove - it is rigid and wont shape around your ear. Also, the pods that sit above your jaw bone is bigger. The big and burly earhooks of the openwave also came in the way of my glasses.
This made the openwave a deal breaker for me.
If you have a large head and wear glasses, I would urge you to strongly consider the aeropex over this.
Thank you for this! While I have a small head, I wear quite thick glasses, which meant a slightly bulkier frame. Ear hooks have been the bane of my existence. Aeropex mini it is!

But I can hear my openmoves even if I pull them off my head ?
Great thanks! Is it possible to fast forward and backward within a track?
Not that I know of.
How does it compare to titanium? Which one of them has better music quality? Especially bass . Thank you 🤗
The OpenRun are very much like the Titanium model in fit and feel, but the sound is better. The Aeropex have the best sound of the 3. However they just came out with the latest flagship pair to replace the Aeropex, you can learn about it here: ruclips.net/video/oPi69gV7ZSk/видео.html
Do you think they would be ok to practice singing
I sing in the Barbershop style .We use teacher tracks but I have tinnitus in both ears the normal headphones make my tinnitus worse I can only use them for a short period of time.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
I'm sure they would be fine for singing... But I'm tone deaf and can't carry a tube so I might be the wrong person to ask!
Great review! I've been planning to buy aeropex and use it also as my daily driver. I was wondering how's it perform in phone calls or probably in conference calls too. TIA!
Me too. I’m on the phone a lot.
I've using the openmove. The sound quality on calls is amazing. Golf course, wind, on bikes, no one knew I wasn't on my phone.
Hello. Bone conduction technology has always intrigued me. I am tempted to take the openmove, the only thing holding me back is the water resistance. I sweat a lot when I ride a bike. Are they suitable for a person who sweats a lot or is it better to play it safe with aeropexes? Thank you.
OpenMove would be completely suitable for sweat resistant. The IP rating covers that. We have a new shop and have a few left if you want to support the channel 😊
It's full of all the cycling products we love and have used over the years. We've just soft launched to family and friends and have discount code on for the next couple of weeks It's good until the end of the month onelesscar.life FAM&FRIENDSSUMMER10
It isn't "Bone conduction technology" it's just a speaker.
@@iainlee4274 id you get cheap headphones that's what you will get, but aftershokz actually uses vibration not jist a speaker
Whould it be comfortable if i'm wearing it with my spec or sunglass TQ
Please see the other comments about this.
Quick question but I want to get a set of Aftershokz for my wife but was wondering if they can be used while charging? She may need them for extended use in her office which is why I ask and I cannot find an answer. Thank you.
No they can't, when they are plugged into the charger they turn off. But unless she is continuously listening to something for over 8 hours they would last the day. You can also get a good charge in about 15 minutes if she wanted to top up on a break.
@@OneLessCar thank you!
Right on I've been waiting for a review like this... because my trekz by titanium at the end of the life.. for the extra money the aeropex seems to be really worth it. Two extra hours of battery life and better water resistance or "waterproofing"
You'll find a big difference in the Aeropex in sound and comfort, when I upgraded from the Titanium I was impressed with what they'd done. I'll be curious to see what happens with the tecnology in the next 4-5 years! 😀
@@OneLessCar if you use aeropex extensively suck and cycling mtb running etc you will eventually break the loop that holds a connector. I have had 4 Aeropex so far lol. On the bright side they are replaced under warranty without fuzz which makes me believe it's a well known issue. I just gave up on them
Hello just want to ask a question, is the manual written in chinese or english?
Both and about 5-6 other langueges.
The OpenMove model has a terrible fit. When the buds are placed right where they should be for good audio quality, the band around the back of the head sticks out and if you move your head up or down, it gets knocked around a bit and moves the buds. It's a constant adjustment at times.
Will these work for video or zoom calls?
They have mics so if the device has Bluetooth then yes.
Do they interfere with wearing glasses?
Not for me. ruclips.net/video/IQdLTwgyLyc/видео.html
How's the mic for the open move? Ever tried it for a call?
I don't use it very often as a mic and never while riding, but I've used it for a job interview an got the job! My husband has said he couldn't hear me well a couple of times when using it, which could be my phone. I've not done enough testing on it to be sure. I will be sure to include this in my next review. They do make a model that is specifically for desk use with an external mic added on.
@@OneLessCar Thanks!
both have microphone? how was it for casual calls?
Pretty good if you aren't riding at the time. I had a job interview on my Aeropex!
@@OneLessCar that's great to know :)
are there operating instructions in the Greek language?
Strangely no I'm afraid.
Sound quality 11:16
The open move ar more modern and a newer model then the aero pex. I dont see why Aeropex ar the most expensive, iv had the 2 and really I dont see or hear much off a diference between both .
Personaly I think the open move ar more attractive design. And well worth 99 € here in Ireland..The Aeropex ar 179 €...
Hi there. What about for people who swear a lot during sports? Are openmove good for it or better the ip67 aeropex?
Is the open move better built ?
@@FabrizioSpinelli if you swear a lot during sports, I would consider something else; maybe an in-ear or over-the-ear headphone. Of course, those people around you might consider earplugs.
I returned my Aftershokz Aeropex today.
I bought it yesterday. It was great in every way, except one thing: I expected it to be ONLY bone conduction, and not both bone conduction and the regular in-ear headphone.
When I turned it on and put it on the table, it was so loud that I could hear it from outside my room! It was like a loudspeaker.
I don't understand why they added the regular in-ear speaker function to it. It was really a pity that I had to return it.
Does anyone know any headphone that has ONLY bone conduction sound, and not in-ear sound?
That would be the table conducting the sound and amplifying it 😂
The device has to play sound for there to be vibrations to conduct.
@@OneLessCar
Thanks for your reply.
I also held it in my "hand". I turned the volume up to "middle", and could hear it clearly when it was in my hand, ie a distance of about 30 centimetres from my ears.
When I put it on highest level, it was really loud and clear. I would not call it headphone anymore, but loudspeaker!
If it has no traditional speaker, then the problem was only my specific device, and not a general one. That is still strange.
Can you please test this by holding your Aeropex in your "hand", while on highest level, and see if you hear anything?
@@sc-- at first it was on the table and now in your hand.. 😆😆😆 what a BS!
thanks a lot for the video, now I know witch one to choose but.... please wear a helmet when you ride a bike. that, thanx again, regards from Santiago,CL.
are they comfortable enough for sleeping?
They rest on your cheek bones, so if you are a side sleeper they wouldn't be very comfortable but if you sleep on your back it would be ok.
But they call it "bone conduction" no, it's just a loud speaker.
If you have anything to do with the brand you should tell them they really have to make a hig quality one with STANDARD CONNECTOR !!!!
Had the titanium, and like hundreds of them it break at the jonction with the polycarbonate end. I was willing to spend more money for the aeropex as it's full titanium construction. But proprietary connector ? Seriously ? There is no way !!
.
Generally IP67 isn't considered "fully waterproof." That would be IP68. IP67 headphones aren't something you'd want to fully immerse in water, like for swimming. They would be fine running or biking in the rain though. I wouldn't use IP55 in the rain.
They have an IP rating that is classified as waterproof.
"The ratings widely accepted as ‘waterproof’ for most general purposes are IP65, IP66 and IP67."
As per uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=ideas-and-advice/ip-ratings
@@OneLessCar It is not generally allowed in the watchmaking industry that watches be marked "waterproof" with an IP67 rating. They are considered "water resistant."
Open move sucks volume way too low
Aeroplex... such an annoying beep !!!!!
The beep is extremely loud yeah! If you have sensitive ears, the beeps will hurt when e.g. changing volume. I've been in contact with Aftershokz and they said that they have lowered the beep volume by 3 decibels on their production line. So if you get one that has been produced recently, it should be good. They couldn't tell me when they've made the change, so you can't know for sure until you take it out of the box and try it.
@@Xantulle I own Aeropex and at first the beep was really annoying. After 2 years it doesn't bother me at all.
I came from Trekz Titanium (2+ years of usage) and liked the way beep was implemented there. It's volume depends on the current volume setting of your earphones. Makes sense.
Why they changed something which was fine and made it worse I do not understand.
@@jdotoko I've got the upgraded version of the Aeropex in the meantime (same model, just newer production date) and the beeps are much much better! Not so excruciatingly loud. I love it for cycling!
!
So, you don't ride bicycles...
149 pounds of what?
Never buy aeropex aftershokz headphones because they DISAPPEAR when it s time to honor their warranty
