BONE UP

What makes the Aftershokz unique for a set of headphones is that they don’t actually fit in your ears. The patent-applied design uses military special ops technology for bone conduction. The speakershaped ends sit on your cheekbones just in front of your ears and the vibrations generated are picked up as sound. The Trekz Airs come with a set of ear plugs so if you’re using them in high noise areas you can block out ambient sound for safety and still hear what’s being transmitted though the ’phones, when you’re not riding, which is a weird sensation but shows off the impressive technology behind them.
