I rarely wear headphones at all, but I do like to wear wireless earbuds while out running. One of my friends recently bought a gorgeous pair of wireless earbuds after checking out some of the reviews over on Buyersimpact.co.uk. She is always telling me how important it is to do your research before you purchase any gadgets.

Luckily for me, I was recently sent a pair of Aftershokz headphones which, as you can see by this Headphonage review, are the best bone conduction headphones on the market. These headphones don’t go in the ear, but conduct sound through the bones in your head.

From the Aftershokz website:

Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process-sound travels through our eardrums and bones simultaneously. Transducers guide mini vibrations through the cheekbones to the inner ears, delivering sound without plugging or covering them. We’ve taken the concept to the next level through development of a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents. The result: headphones that deliver unrivaled situational awareness and comfort.

It took me a little time to get used to the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium headphones because they felt different than anything I had previously tried. I was initially worried that they would bother me in my neck area because it sticks out a bit, but I barely notice it.

Since receiving these headphones, I have been wearing them pretty much every time I run. The sound is clear, and it even works with phone calls. No one has ever complained about not being able to hear me, even when I am running!

While the quality is good, I’d love to invest in some high-end audio equipment for use at home so that I can experience my music with perfect clarity. I may need to stock up on things like preamps and Audio Interconnects, but I think that it will all be worth it when I give my favorite tunes a new lease of life.
