AfterShokz Trekz Titanium ™: New Version of Bone-Conducted Sound Headphones

Earphones with an unusual AfterShokz name and even more unusual features were already described by Medgadgets on Geektimes. In fact, these are great headphones that do not cover the ears and direct the sound directly into the inner ear, using the bones of the user's skull as a conductor of sound. Accordingly, while listening to music, the ears remain open, which can be useful for cyclists or runners who like to move along the roads.

These headphones can work, and as a headset, so that during an exercise important call will not be missed. Now, the developers of the first version of the bone earphones have released the second model, Trekz Titanium ™. Funds for the project are raised at Indiegogo, and the right amount was collected in just a day. Already 2.5 times more money has been raised than originally requested, and there are 39 days left before the campaign ends. Let's see what the developers are offering there this time.

Now a little more detail:

Design

OpernFit

As mentioned above, the headphones do not cover the ears, so that the cyclist on the road will feel safe. Any sound from a car passing by will be heard, while listening to music or talking, you can not interrupt

Titanium headband

The basis of the headphones is a titanium case, this metal was chosen due to its lightness and strength. Plus, the headband bends, and does not break. This allows you to use the gadget without fear of damaging it. Protection

from water

Diving in the headphones is not allowed, but they are protected from sweat / raindrops, plus there is also protection against dust.

Sound quality

In the past, gadgets that worked with bone conduction technology brought the sound to the inner ear with some distortion. As a result, the sound of ordinary headphones was different from the sound of headphones with bone conduction. Trekz Titanium ™ does not have such a problem, special technology optimizes the sound, so that the sound is almost perfect.



In this case, the user will easily hear the interlocutor or other sounds.

Dual microphone

Two microphones with noise reduction technology allow you to talk in headset mode without any problems.
