A:AnswerI use these in a tractor-trailer driving down the road and the people who are contacting me say that they can't hear any truck noise in the background. So I would say yes they are noise canceling.
A:AnswerIf you are on my left, looking at my left ear, assume that my nose points forward and is zero / horizontal.
When in the lowest position facing forward it angles directly towards my mouth, around 35/40 degrees below horizontal.
When 'stowed' behind the ear, keeping the same orientation towards horizontal, it's pointing behind me, just below horizontal, about 200 degrees back from the level forward position.
A:AnswerExactly the same as aeropex for listening to music and podcasts. This one shines for the audio clarity of the microphone. The person on the other end of the call will thank you. This has the comfort of the Aeropex but is made for talking on the phone. The aeropex is garbage for talking on the phone. I love my Aeropex for working out and purchased this for the office. My wife said this was clearer than me holding my handset to my ear.
A:AnswerHi Roy- Shokz here! We're sorry to hear your OpenComm is not working properly. We have a two-year warranty on all Shokz, we'd be happy to assist you in filing a warranty claim so you can receive a replacement pair! Please contact our Customer Happiness Team so we can assist you further or visit our website directly to submit a warranty claim. Thank you!
A:AnswerYes and no. It cannot be connected to both simultaneously. It is definitely not designed for it. I have to shut the bluetooth off on one device before i can get the headset to connect with the other. I have a pair of Bose Soundsport that actually has a button for switching devices and wish these did the same.
A:AnswerYes, it can pair simultaneously using multipoint pairing.
To pair multiple devices through multipoint pairing:
Start with your headphones turned off.
Enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the volume+ button for 5-7 seconds, until the LED light flashes red and blue.
Press and hold the multifunction button and volume+ button for 2-3 seconds. Audrey says "Multipoint Enabled."
Pair first device. Audrey says "Connected."
Turn your headphones off.
Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding the volume+ button for 5-7 seconds, until the LED light flashes red and blue.
Pair the second device. Audrey says "Device Two Connected."
Turn your headphones off.
A:AnswerHey Bowl! Yes, AfterShokz headphones can be used with hearing aids. Our headphones work by sending vibrations from the temporal bone through the inner ear to the cochlea. Customers who benefit most from our products seem to be those with damaged ear drums, but a healthy cochlea. Even though our headphones aren't hearing devices, we have some customers who use them to assist with hearing, usually by pairing the headphones to their phone and accessing hearing aid apps. These apps (i.e., Petralex, Ear Spy, Ear Trumpet, and Hear You Now) use the mic on the phone to pick up surrounding sound and transmit it through the headphones.
A:AnswerHey Buster! OpenComm will technically pair with gaming systems (i.e., PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) but we don’t recommend it because the lag is significant and would impact game play, overall.
A:AnswerHighly dependent on what you're doing on them. I work in IT and take calls all day, so they are on at least 9 hours a day. Though I am not on a call for 9 hours so that's a mix of stand-by and calls. I usually plug them back in at the end of my shift for a fresh charge the next day.
A:AnswerHey Steve! No, unfortunately AfterShokz headphones do not work like walkie talkies. Although OpenComm can connect to up to two Bluetooth devices at one time, it is not capable of communicating exclusively between the two devices.
A:AnswerYou can listen to any audio; music, movies, podcasts, and GPS.
It works great for all of these. It’s a different way to listen for sure. Not in a fantastic way but defense not in a bad way either. Hope this helps!
