However, whilst I am many things, I am not an audiophile. (I said audiophile). I don’t know my Bangs from my sons (sens) of Oluf. I supBose (yawn) I could do some research. That said, I do sense that you have to set the volume towards the upper end of what the headphones are capable of (or what the iPhone – in my case – will send down to pipe). No matter what I do with the blinking purple, which is neither red nor blue, the power does not even turn off. What should I do now?

However, the AfterShokz Titanium are incredibly easy to use. Don’t forget that these are, at their most basic, a pair of wireless headphones. The initial Bluetooth set-up with a phone was easy, though the voice that confirms is a bit chatty. Does anyone really need to be politely welcomed to their headphones? The Trekz Titanium pair with your audio source over Bluetooth 4.1, and I didn’t encounter any problems with the wireless reliability. Range is rated at a standard 10 metres. Aftershokz Trekz Titanium – Battery Life Like I said above, the Aftershokz are not suited to competing in very noisy environments. Neither am I, so this is fine for me. I’ve Got A Noise Bleed The Aftershokz Trekz Titanium avoid shutting you off from the outside world by using a technology called “bone conduction”. This sends vibrations through your cheekbones, where the sound is then processed in your inner ear. It means your ears are still free to hear the outside world, such as that terrifying taxi hurtling by at 50mph in a 30mph zone. In the context of listening during a cycling commute the tuning is understandable, since the bright treble will be more easily heard over traffic. There’s a secondary EQ mode accessible by holding both volume buttons that reduces the bass and the vibrations further. These headphones actually excel at audiobooks and podcasts.My aftershokz earphones suddenly don't charge anymore. Light blinks neither blue nor red. I've already tried different types of charging cables and no difference. What could be the problem? My sense is that they’re not too bad. I’ve not had any comments from wife or kids as I’ve worn then about the house.

The headphones are rated to IP55, which equates to basic dust- and water-resistance. You shouldn’t have any problems wearing these in the rain, and they can happily cope with a bit of sweat. The Trekz Titanium are available in either blue, green or grey finishes.There is undeniably plenty of room for things to get better as that bone conduction tech improves, both in bass and clarity, but the differences between the Trekz Air and the OpenRun are noticeable. There’s none of this faff with the Trekz. Once they’re on and in position, no further adjustment is needed. 100% better. So What Is The Sound Like? You’ll soon get used to it and forget about it – plus, it’s less pronounced at lower volumes. Having the audio produced inside your skull can also feel a little alien. There’s a sense of soundstage that you’re probably not used to, and the strange feeling that you can’t quite place where the music is coming from. Secondly, the charging connector has been repositioned. Like the OpenRun, the OpenRun Pro use a proprietary magnetic charging cable, which is much easier to connect than the fiddly micro-USB used by older models. However, for the newer model, Shokz has moved the charging port so it's no longer in line with the control buttons, making the cable easier to connect.

Everything works perfect, only the BEEP sound is very loud, every time I raise or lower the volume, when I receive a call and it pauses, all the BEEPS are very loud, how do I turn it down? The headphones should also function under a top-of-the-range Hansgrohe raindance shower head (a little pro cycling sponsor reference there). Battery Life (Or Do They Always Need Chargin’?) In fairness they’re a pair of headphones – they shouldn’t require a degree in ergonomics to put them on.) I would like to know the assistance centers in Italy in the province of monza brianza or Milan of the aftershoks trekz titanium earphones because the right earphone does not work and the product is still under warrantyIf your head is on the pillow (or the cushion, if we’re talking a post-ride sofa situation), then this loop is pushed against the base of your skull and the headphone bits don’t sit in the right place.
