Hi there,
I'm hoping to get some advice for bone conducting headphones. I've had a few of the Shokz, which are awesome, but the memory fills up inexplicably, and the company is *terrible* with support. I reached out to see about doing a factory reset, and they basically ghosted me after sending incorrect reset info (for another bluetooth unit).
What other brands are stellar? I've tried a few of the cheaper ones, but they all went back as they wouldn't stay put upon wall push-off.
TYIA!
So I bought one of these for my wife: https://www.audioflood.com/?v=e75edac1b83f
And then picked up some (allegedly) IP68 bluetooth bone conduction headphones off of Amazon AU.
With the player on her goggles strap it worked perfectly, but after a couple of months of use in the water 2/3 times a week, they started to play up.
There are a dozen options around it seems, but none of them seem any more legit than the ones I bought originally...
I went on a night Manta Dive in Hawaii and wore my Shokz Open Swim Pros. I used them for swimming and they worked super well, and I was really curious if they would survive and hour at depth. Long story short, they survived...mostly. The buttons are not functional below 25ft, so no turning it off or changing songs or volume once you're down there. Also, the microphone has not worked since. But other than that, they are fine.
But I'm posting here because it was incredible. I highly recommend trying it. The experience is like a whole different sport. This particular dive was probably better than most for it, because it involved underwater spot lights, and just sitting and watching the Mantas come feed. Also it bottomed out at 70ft. I have not been to the Sphere in Vegas yet, but this seemed like a similar/better experience.
Has anyone else experimented with the Shokz? or are there any better products made for this? I'm going to keep experimenting and see how much abuse these headphones can handle.
