Love of the Week

It is that time again. I promise you, this week’s love of the week is not a hair product. Though, it does go around your head.

I don’t know about you, but I when I run, clean the house, or want to drown out my kids (only kidding!), I want to grab a pair of earbuds and listen to some music, a podcast or an audiobook. However, earbuds drive me crazy. After a while, they become very uncomfortable. As I sweat, they fall out of my ears and I have to keep readjusting them. I can’t hear anything else around me. This is a concern of mine when out running. I want and need to be aware of my surroundings. The solution?? AfterShokz !

AfterShokz are bone conduction headphones. Sound is vibrations. The vibrations travel through the air to our eardrums. With a bone conduction headphones, the sound is vibrating against the cheekbone, sending the vibrations to the inner ear, bypassing the ear canal. As you can see from the photo, the transducers sit against the cheekbones outside the ear canal. There is nothing blocking the ear canal, causing discomfort. Again, with nothing blocking the ear canal, one can still hear everything around them. I am very aware of when a car pulls up, someone is walking behind me, etc.

There a few different models. I own the Trek Air. I had the Trek Titanium, but stepped on them and they snapped. I went with the Trek Air because they are smaller. I also wanted a fun color and loved this color red.

The headphones are wireless, light, have a 6-hour battery life and are sweatproof. I have worn them in the rain, though please do not submerge in water or leave out in bad weather. I have worn them in the gym and even with all the noise there, could hear perfectly fine. I have even taken a phone call or two on them. Often times, I have come home from a run and forget I had them on long after I have turned them off, they are that comfortable.

If you are ever in the market for a pair of headphones, I highly recommend AfterShokz. I will never go back to earbuds again!

    I’ve never heard of these before, but what a great idea! I’m starting to get back into running and just use old headphones from a previous iPhone purchase. Definitely checking these out! Thanks for the reco ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Chris | 23rd May 19

    I know what my next set of earphones will be now. Thanks!

  3. Kyndall Bennett | 23rd May 19

    These seem to be way more convenient than those Apple cordless earphones. I STILL wonder how people don’t lose those things!

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Me too! My son has them and I keep waiting for the day they are gone. LOL

  4. Karla | 23rd May 19

    All of my kids use earbuds. This sounds like something we need so they can hear ME along with their music! Thanks!

  5. Laura | 23rd May 19

    How cool! Earbuds never stay in very well for me and these would be perfect!

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Yes, such a great alternative to those dang things!

  9. Ramae | 23rd May 19

    I’m not quite ready to order them just yet, but I’m getting there. Just followed your link to their site and saw all the available choices. I have such a hard time spending money, but these really do look like the perfect match. I doubt I’d regret it. Thanks for your honest review!

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Your welcome. I don’t think you will regret it either. Let me know if you buy them and what you think!

  10. Brittany | 23rd May 19

    These are something my husband needs to look into. He constantly has something like this in his ears = )

  11. Stacey | 23rd May 19

  19. Carolina | 24th May 19

    I’ve never seen these beautiful before. I hate earbuds so these might be a nice option. Thanks for sharing.

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      These are 1000 times better than earbuds!

  20. Sharon | 25th May 19

    So cool! I’m going to check these out. My ear openings are very small, so even the smallest size earbuds tend to fall out or get very uncomfortable very quickly. This look great!

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Same with mine. Nothing stays in and they hurt!

  21. T.M. Brown | 25th May 19

    I’ve never seen these before! I’m going to have to check these out.

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      They are great. I can’t imagine every wearing anything else.

  22. Tiffany | 25th May 19

    These look comfortable!

  23. Cindy | 26th May 19

    Iโ€™ve heard excellent things about this company and their products! Iโ€™m so intrigued.

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Their customer service is awesome.

  24. Angela Greven | Mean Green Chef | 27th May 19

    These look like a great alternative to headphones, thanks for sharing! ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Pauline Reynolds | 27th May 19

    How neat. I’ve seen these but never tried them. I hate earbuds so much that I opt for bulky head phones.

    • Heather | 30th May 19

      Give these a try. I bet you will love them.

  26. Eileen | 27th May 19
