Can confirm. They're cool. Battery life is decent and yeah, they do exactly what's claimed here. Don't expect the most high def sound, but they're still completely acceptable for a lot of scenarios.

I had a circa 2016 set and they were rubbish.. Worth another look?

I think so. I was getting skin irritation if I exercised while wearing earbuds and the AfterShockz eliminate that problem for me. Sound quality is good for podcasts. I don't listen to much music at all with them.

It just depends on your use case. If you want to appreciate music while sitting at your desk, no. But if you need to listen to a podcast or music while trail running, biking, at the gym, or other situations where situational awareness is important, then the degrade in audio quality is worth the trade off.

The Aeropex/OpenRun is a massive improvement over my TREKZ Titanium from 2016. Still not anywhere near comparable to some nice headphones or IEMs.

seriously ? I have experienced the opposite. Got a TREKZ Titanium as leave-behind from my son. I love them. This Black Friday I got some OpenRun and had to return them as they did not sound just as good. what a mistery
