Are AfterShokz Aeropex Comfortable?
As far as overall comfort, what I liked about Aeropex was that they didn't make my ears ache the way that AirPods and earbuds do; I'll sometimes have to massage my ears after using my AirPods for a few hours, but Aeropex don't enter your ear canal at all so this wasn't an issue. They did make my temples a little sore the first time I used them, whether from the physical tension or because of the bone conduction vibrations themselves. I didn't have this problem after that first time. I've since used them on runs of over two hours without any kind of issues.
Aeropex didn't shift around when I ran (another concern) and I forgot they were there after a while. You could use them for other workouts, but they may not work for anything that requires lying down, like crunches; they wrap around the back of your head, so I couldn't lie down without pushing them off. Though they don't have the same music control capabilities as AirPods (RIP my double-tap song-skip tool), they do have volume buttons on one side. And although I haven't tried these features, Aeropex are also equipped with microphones to make calls, and are waterproof in case a shower hits while you're out running or walking.
