PROS: I cycle distance (30-50-75-100 miles), run 5K, 10K, 13.1, and walk/hike numerous miles often. These headphones are excellent for all three since the open-ear design allows the user to hear what's going on around them. Came with a swimmer's cap as well but I have not swam with them on. Literature indicates that as a daily option. Sweat has not changed functionality or appearance.
Sound quality is very good, both "regular" and bone conduction components (which are simultaneous). Can be enhanced (louder, more bass, treble, etc) with positional adjustment. Controls are easy to access during use.
Headphones remain comfortably in place with all activity. No slipping or worries about loss. Load MANY MP3s directly to the device via USB (provided), which is a very cool feature. No Bluetooth required, so no drain on the cellphone already busy with Strava, etc. Battery life, 3-5 outings, depending on length. Not bad, and charging is fast & easy.
CONS: Volume could be a little louder, but that might interfere with safety. Minor issue.
Band is pretty large, so a loop sorta' sticks out on the back of the head behind bike helmet. Likely not a problem if they band was over the top of the head. Not obtrusive. Just there.
Would love to see an MP3 version in red.
OVERALL - Excellent product. Very happy with it. Your significant other is going to want one, too.
I have used taygayo brand which do not last. They are cheaper but quality is very poor and they failed after just a few months and never worked correctly. Tried twice and were a waste of money.
But the aftershocks headphones rock!
When swimming they are the first pair I have ever had that sound perfect even in rough ocean water. Worth every penny.
I use these primarily for swimming and since Bluetooth does not work underwater, having the built in MP3 player is the only real way to get music in the pool unless you want to swim with wired earbuds and your smart phone. The sound quality is good with or without the ear plugs. With the ear plugs I did not notice much of a difference between pool and normal mode. Without the ear plugs, the sound is much more bassy and would recommend pool mode. Whether or not to use ear plugs is mostly personal preference on sound and comfort. I am on the fence. One complaint was would be nice if the volume could get louder, but the volume is definitely adequate for lap swimming.
Copying music over was straight forward, but formats are limited, so you may have to convert some music files (that are not format protected) to acceptable file types. Of course, you have to own the songs and can’t just download from one of the subscription music services.
While the xtrainerz are the best music delivery device for swimming and would highly recommend them, I am sticking with the in-ear wireless ear buds and my smartphone for non-water activities as the sound quality is superior and I have more options for music.
PROS:
-Plug and play! No signal to worry about.
-It's waterproof! (I don't swim like the target audience, but I LOVE listening to these in the shower.
-Far better than the Aftershokz Trekz as far as sound quality. (Better sound. Clearer sound. Deeper bass. Doesn't vibrate as much. Even though the music is clearer, the outside world is still just as clear, meaning it's much more discreet at work, and I don't have to compromise enjoying the music and worrying if I'll have to take them off and say "Huh?" Both the music and ability to hear are better and clearer.
-AND far better build quality. (They are much lighter and much more comfortable. Don't slip around. The buttons are also more comfortable, and there is actually a BACK button this time.
CONS:
-The downside to the plug and play thing, is that obviously, since it's only MP3 with no screen, it will remind you of an old mp3 player, or an iPod Shuffle. It's not bad, and done fairly well, but anyone who is sighted and not used to navigating with only audio, will probably hate it.
-There is only 4GB. (Which they say is about 1,200 songs). For the average adult that would be fine, but for me, and many other music beasts like me, it is not enough. To get an idea, I currently have 2114 songs in my iTunes library, and plenty on a list that I need to download. I also am in love with my large collection of carefully grown and crafted. I have just under a hundred playlists, and about at least 10 of them have hundreds of songs. (To be clear, that's not weird or unusual at all. Many people keep hundreds to thousands of songs in a library and organize their music carefully. And I have already seen a few complaints about it.) I like to organize mine by fluidity (of rhythm, melody, voice quality, mood etc.) Needless to say, chopping down my selection of music to about nearly a third was slightly painful.
-Playlist creation is tedious and not intuitive at all. The only way to create playlists is using folders. It seems intuitive to just drop mp3 files into a folder and call it a day but there are two problems with that. (#1.) As I said, I have hundreds of playlists, and blind, voice navigation through the (only about 15 playlists that I could fit) is exhausting, and there is no back button when navigating folders. So, if you make a mistake skipping over the one that you want, you will have to go all the way back around.) (#2.) The average (I even downloaded another) file explorer cannot handle play-listing the same way media players do. You will have to fight the auto arrangements (such as date added, alphabetically by name etc.) You will end up having to fight for loopholes. AND even when you finally have your playlist ordered correctly, it won't organize the actual folders differently. (So say I finally got it to organize the music by date created, but the folders by alphabetical order. It won't. It's one or the other. (#3.) It recognizes subfolders as regular ones. (So for example, I tried to divide my rock playlists into subgenres/eras. There is no parent folder recognized. They are still seen like regular folders.)
THAT BEING SAID: Although it does still have that Beta version vibe (excuse my nerdiness), it IS their first crack at an MP3 version, AND the Aftershokz team has posted everywhere that they are working on a better model, their main problem being "Bluetooth/visual selection" VS "MP3 freedom/waterproof" So while I sit back and enjoy this wonderful pair, I'll be waiting anxiously for any improved versions. It would be cool to see some kind of ("online/offline mode") where you can connect it to bluetooth to browse visually and listen to online media, but still be able to disconnect from bluetooth and return to mp3, leaving off at the song you've selected.
The cons list looks much greater since I went into detail, but in reality it's not. I still love this so much and it is a life changer. If you're not spooked by audio selection and won't be devastated by 4gb (great for the average person) then BUY IT! (Plus: If you find you don't like it, their customer is fantastic.) So GET IT. TRY IT OUT.

Cuando descubrí los auriculares de contacto óseo, fue un cambio de paradigma. Empecé con otra marca, con auriculares que abultaban más y que costaba de encontrar su posición buena.
Desde que utilizo estos auriculares de Aftershokz, la experiencia es inmejorable: llegas, te los colocas y a nadar. Se escucha con un volumen adecuado (nunca lo tengo al máximo), incluso sin tapones. La navegación entre canciones, modo aleatorio, volumen, etc. está bien pensada y es intuitiva una vez la aprendes.
Son muy hidrodinámicos y casi no se notan (en comparación con otras alternativas).
Hay que tener en cuenta que son auriculares de contacto óseo. Nunca se escuchará la música con la misma fidelidad que los intraaurales, pero dentro del agua prefiero mil veces un sonido al 80% constante, que escuchar cinco minutos al 100%, y el resto de la hora no escuchar NADA.
Por último, quiero mencionar que un tiempo después de usarlos uno de los dos auriculares empezó a funcionar con intermitencia. Contacté con el servicio de atención el cliente y me han tratado de maravilla. En todo momento se mostraron amables, y en pocos días me enviaron unos auriculares nuevos sin cargo alguno y sin poner ningún tipo de problema.
Para los nadadores asiduos, totalmente recomendado!
Beim Schwimmen ist der Ton klar verständlich. Ich trage dabei immer die mitgelieferten Ohrstöpsel.
Der Bügel sitzt perfekt am Kopf, drückt nicht, verrutscht nicht und stört überhaupt nicht.
Ich hatte davor einen Player mit normalen Ohrsteckern, bei dem man ständig die Stecker neu justieren musste, Wasser ins Ohr kam und dadurch der Ton leise und oder schlecht wurde. Und die Käbelchen zum Ohr waren super empfindlich.
Dagegen ist der Xtrainerz zwar schon etwas teurer aber dafür hält er auch und ist beim tragen einfach unauffällig, so dass man sich nur aufs Schwimmen und in meinem Fall aufs Hörbuch konzentrieren kann.
Ja, man muss seine Hörbücher über den PC übertragen und ggf. erst in MP3 konvertieren und am besten in die Länge schneiden, wie lange man schwimmen will, da man nur von MP3 zu MP3 vorspringen kann. Das ist ja aber kein Problem.
Für den unbeschwerten Genuss beim Schwimmen nehme ich das gerne in Kauf.
Bisher musste ich ihn auch noch nie erst wieder ganz aufladen, da er beim Übertragen der nächsten Kapitel immer schon genug nachlädt.
Ich würde ihn wirklich jederzeit wiederkaufen! Und empfehle ihn jedem, der beim Schwimmen Musik oder Hörbuch hören möchte, ohne ständig beim Schwimmen gestört zu werden!
Le confort est top : sur un vélo ou en courant on entend le son dans sa tête avec les oreilles “à l’air”, dans l’eau le bonnet rajoute une sécurité, même si après avoir nagé 5km dans le Rhône avec le courant, l’appareil n’a pas bougé d’un poil !
Par contre, l’arceau n’est pas ajustable dans la nuque, ce qui peut après une longue distance de natation être gênant si vos mouvements de crawl ne sont plus aussi lisses et précis qu’au départ : mon épaule rencontrait parfois l’arceau et venait déplacer légèrement l’appareil ce qui au terme, diminue le confort.
Pas eu ce genre de problème hors de l’eau.
Toute la partie logicielle semble robuste, les boutons fonctionnent correctement, et on peut classer ses fichiers audios dans des dossiers. (Pratique pour les styles de musique ou les podcast).
Plus qu’à voir maintenant le maintient dans le temps de tous ces bons points, ce qui est sûr c’est que je ne regrette pas d’avoir renvoyé mon Finis pour l’xtrainerz (même si c’est moins facilement prononçable 😅)
