SHOKZ AEROPEX

£149.95 The Shokz (previously known as Aftershokz) Aeropex uses bone-conduction technology and focusses heavily on providing situational awareness when running outside for the safest user experience. At first, we were sceptical that these headphones would feel secure when in motion, but the weight distribution (26g in total) of the headphones helps them sit snug over and around the ear, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out. Specifically primed for exercise, the Aeropex has a waterproof rating of IP67, meaning they’ll work even in heavy downpours. In terms of sound quality, they’re not far behind the Bose, JLabs and RHA options, and are far superior to similar designs on test. Volume controls also work well once you’re used to them, though bone conducting is never going to be as loud as in-ear buds. The Aeropex’s claimed eight hours of battery should prove useful for endurance athletes. uk.shokz.com
