AfterShokz Sportz 2 Open Ear Bone Conducting Sport Headphones bring you living room quality audio without blocking other sounds.
AfterShokz rests gently on your cheekbone and conducts the sound to your inner ear - the way sound is supposed to be heard.
Sound quality is comparable to sitting at home - but the headphones sit comfortably in front of your ears and there are no annoying earbuds. Whilst the sound quality is unrivalled, cars, trucks and shouts can be safely heard. AfterShokz headphone technology is widely used by the military and is fast replacing conventional earphones.
AfterShokz Headphones are lightweight and water resistant and they include an on/off switch and volume control unit that is conveniently to hand when clipped to your clothing, a micro USB charging port and a 3.5-mm gold-plated standard connector that fits most smart phones as well as iPhones, iPods, iPads and MP3 players.
Powered by patent-pending military special ops bone conduction technology, AfterShokz Bone Conduction Headphones offer users a more comfortable, healthier and safer listening experience. Unlike conventional headphones and earbuds that use the eardrums to transmit sound, Aftershokz headphones sit comfortably in front of the ear and utilise bone conduction technology to deliver stereophonic sound through the listener’s cheekbones to the inner ear. This enables anyone participating in an activity such as jogging, biking, skateboarding, hiking and geocaching to stay in touch with what they are listening to as well as to the outside world.
Most of what we hear is due to soundwaves travelling through the air to the eardrum, which then converts the sound waves to vibrations and transmits them to the inner ear. Sound waves can also get to the inner ear through bone conduction, direct vibration of the bones in the head which carry the vibrations directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrums. This is how a person hears his or her own voice.
AfterShokz headphones are manufactured to MIL10 Specs in a ISO 9000 certified manufacturing facility. Originally developed for use by military special ops and SWAT teams worldwide, AfterShokz bone conduction technology utilizes superior micro-electronics coupled to a patent-pending dual-suspension system that delivers superior audio performance. AfterShokz bone conduction technology permits users to hear music or voice communications through the headphones while leaving their ears free to hear ambient sound.
Comfort and safety are two key advantages of AfterShokz headphones. Scientific studies have found that extended use of regular headphones and earbuds promote hearing loss and damage to the eardrum. Since AfterShokz headphones do not use the eardrums to transmit sound, they provide consumers with a quality stereophonic listening experience while reducing the risk of eardrum damage. In addition, AfterShokz headphones are far more comfortable and stable than earbuds, especially when used over extended periods of time. Many people find earbuds to be uncomfortable to wear and they tend to fall out of the ear during vigorous activity.
This is the next generation of open ear sport headphones featuring 21 improvements on the previous model:
*Playback time varies and corresponds to the volume at which playback occurs. AfterShokz patent-pending dual-suspension technology requires power to deliver high-quality sound reproduction and therefore the louder the playback volume, the shorter the playback time. At low volume settings, you can expect up to 15 hours’ playback time on one charge.
