“AfterShokz Aeropex” itself is a product released in 2019, but since I bought it around the spring of this year (2021), it is a gadget with an extremely high pitching frequency, so I thought it was the best buy in 2021. There is. I will write down the reason.
First of all, I don’t listen to music at all, only the radio. Since it is often left for a long time, earphones are required to be less tiring to listen to and more comfortable to wear than sound quality.
What’s more, “AfterShokz Aeropex” got hooked on my life because I didn’t get on the train so much because of the corona, and I went for a walk, biking, and going to the gym more often.

Before explaining “AfterShokz Aeropex”, let me briefly explain about bone conduction. Normal earphones vibrate the air and transmit information from the eardrum → ossicles → cochlea → brain. In the case of bone conduction earphones, information is transmitted from the bone to the cochlea to the brain by vibrating the bone near the temple without going through the eardrum.
This does not block your ears, so you can hear environmental sounds and prevent deafness even during playback.
The evaluation of “AfterShokz Aeropex” as a bone conduction earphone is clear and painless. Due to the structure that vibrates the bones, there are also bone conduction earphones that make a beeping sound like “It resonates to the brain !!” and that listening for a long time is difficult. In my sense, regarding “AfterShokz Aeropex”, the image is that an Esper-type talented person delivers sound information by bone conduction by cutting the coefficient of friction as much as possible so that he can speak to his heart. I think it is necessary to get used to conduction and devices, but it is a finish that does not make you tired of listening.
According to the product information, the design that lifts up 30 degrees to the face realizes delicate bass reproduction, while improving the reproduction quality of the midrange to high range, making it easier to hear the human voice. .. As mentioned above, for me who only listens to the radio, I am very grateful for the adjustment, and while checking the surrounding sounds, I can listen to the radio talk firmly.
In addition, the lightness of 26g and the band shape of the all-titanium frame that fits your head are effective. The ease of listening to bone conduction earphones changes considerably depending on the position where they hit, but “AfterShokz Aeropex” does not come off easily and always keeps hitting the right place. It fits well not only for walks but also for strenuous exercise on a treadmill, so I always wear it when I go to the gym. It has IP67 dustproof and waterproof performance that can withstand submersion in water at a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes, so I am grateful that you can exercise as much as you want and sweat. By the way, it can be played for about 8 hours on a single charge.

I have praised various things, but my dissatisfaction is charging. Because it is waterproof, it is charged by connecting it to a magnetic cable, so there were several scenes such as “I don’t have a dedicated cable at hand because I can’t charge it when I’m on the go” → “I can’t use it”. I thought it wouldn’t be USB Type-C somehow. Also, although I’m not dissatisfied, it’s hard to hear in a scene with a lot of environmental sounds such as in a train, so it’s better to wear earplugs or use earphones such as AirPods.
Other than that, I have no complaints and I love it.
“AfterShokz Aeropex” is recommended for those who like it. Come on this occasion when the price is 13,998 yen, which is 6000 yen (30%) off!
