That kind of headphones really was a significant upgrade for me. Being able to listen to something while still having environmental awareness is awesome.

I do wish the max volume for the aftershokz where higher, and they didn't have the play/pause button trigger a redial when double pushed. I've accidentally done that multiple times (Including scaring my parents with a middle of the night call, due to 9 hours time difference.)

If you never use them for calling, you can go into Bluetooth settings and disable Calls/Phone access for that device. At least, this is possible on Android.

Silicone earplugs will increase the volume of the Aftershokz.

But remove the advantage of having situational awareness :)
