are you using any china bone conduction headphone? pls intro if it is good. tks.
I am using Aftershokz air and I like it. Thinking of getting the aeropex.

My Aftershokz titanium went dead and cannot charge. I was told it's 2yrs warranty....do they change on the spot? Not sure of their warranty ethics or worth the hassle. In any case, the Titanium is extremely uncomfortable after more than 2 hours running.

I have a few China ones and currently I am using this R9, it is extremely comfortable (better than any Aftershokz model) because the rear part is just soft wire, only con is that it's quite soft even at max volume, and not as bassy as Aftershokz. But for <$30 it's a great buy. I have it coming to a year and still works fine. If it ever comes in a version with onboard mp3 playback I will definitely get it.

Recently I came across a Sansui-brand at taobao that similarly is soft wire at the rear and has onboard mp3 playback. May be getting it soon to try out.

The other one I have is J20, it wears slightly more comfortable than titanium but feels bulkier than Air, ultimately I always prefer to wear the R9 even if the volume is softer and less bassy ->

Darr - Tks much for the detailed info. Will look at them.:)
not sure about Aftershokz warranty RMA service, have not needed to use it yet.

Aftershokz Air - I found it very comfortable, you tried that before?

taobao - since these stuff has in-built battery, may have problem of shipping?

Creative is a good choice. affordable with pretty good specs (for running/waterproof/sound quality). support local!

disclaimer: I don't own it but read good reviews about it.

For that price I think it’s one of the more affordable tws.

Check if they are actually bone conduction.

Cheap **** usually just speakers near your ears, earplugs will defeat it unlike true bone conduction.

Air is comfortable (only tried 15 mins in store), but given my experience with Titanium quality I'm not sure if I want spend so much for Aftershokz anymore.

Also most of these china ones are not true bone conduction, but unless you have true hearing problems it's not going to make much difference (real ones have clarity but get real...it's little difference). Given the price is just a no brainer. No issue with shipping for example -> Link OOPS it states it accepts sensitive items.

If you want sound quality just use IEMs. Havit G1 is one of the best I tried, obviously Bose Soundsport Free that I have is way way better, but price is also way way higher.
