Bringing the Music Back with Aftershokz

There is nothing like running to the beat of a good song. It gets me in a running rhythm and sometimes, when I have the perfect playlist I feel like I can run forever!
I love listening to music when I run. But often, I go without because of my own personal safety concerns. When running on the road it's important to be aware of traffic. Often, traditional headphones go into your ear and completely block out all outside noise. This can become dangerous, because you can't hear anything going on around you and you may miss the sound of an oncoming vehicle.
About Trekz Titanium Headphones
I was super excited when I was given the chance to try these Trekz Titanium Headphones from Aftershokz! They are different than traditional headphones and instead of sitting inside your ear, they sit above your ear canal and use bone conduction technology. This allows you to hear your music and the road.
I'll admit, I was skeptical that I would still be able to hear my music with headphones sitting outside my ear, but I was presently surprised. These headphones have amazing sound and all my tunes sound great! I can also still hear traffic or my friends on a group run.
Designed for Athletes who Listen to Music on the Run
These headphones are designed for athletes, which is exactly what I consider myself. What does that mean?
- Sweat proof. Because running in 70-100 degree heat brings on the sweat!
- Wireless, bluetooth technology. So you can move freely on the run or during whatever sport you choose to play.
- Flexible. They move easily and fit right over my ears, but aren't too stiff like some wireless headphones.
How I Use My Trekz
I've been taking my Trekz everywhere. To the gym, the track, and the trails. I find them especially good when I'm working out and get a question in the gym. In the past, I would have to stop what I was doing, remove a headphone and ask that they repeat the question. Now, I can hear the question right away and give an answer, all without removing my headphones.
On the run, they are great because they easily sync with my phone's bluetooth and I'm off and running with no hassle and no extra cords. I just pull the headphones over my ears and go.
