AfterShokz' Bone Conduction Headphones Are the Safest Headphone for Runners

We're excited to bring these headphones into our store due to their safety benefits for runners especially.

The AfterShokz Trekz Titanium is a lightweight, comfortable, and bone conducting wireless stereo headphone that proves to be the safest alternative to traditional sport headphones and earbuds while delivering premium sound quality and crystal clear phone calling.

Bone conduction technology is an open ear design which allows the wearer to hear their surroundings - no matter where life takes you.

Bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process—sound travels through our eardrums and bones simultaneously. These headphones take the concept to the next level through development of a suite of proprietary audio technologies and design patents. The result: headphones that deliver unrivaled situational awareness and comfort.

Wondering how it works? It's actually simple. Transducers guide mini vibrations through the cheekbones to the inner ears, delivering sound without plugging or covering them.

Here are some of the other features we found useful when trying them out ourselves.

• Titanium wraparound headband is lightweight and flexible for durability and portability
• OpenFit™ design ensures maximum situational awareness and comfort during long-term wear
• PremiumPitch+™ guarantees a premium audio experience, including wide dynamic range and rich bass
• Wireless Bluetooth® 4.1 connectivity and convenient multipoint pairing
• LeakSlayer™ technology significantly reduces natural sound leakage
• IP55 certified to repel sweat, dust and moisture, from workouts to wicked weather
• Enjoy six hours of continuous music + calls on a single charge
• EQ presets boost bass and reduce vibration on the go
• Dual noise canceling microphones exclude surrounding noise, effectively enhancing speech
• Audrey Says™ voice prompts guide users through power, pair, play and talk
• Hassle-free 2-year warranty
