With "Aeropex," never miss a beat. Music and ambient sounds, all at once.
AfterShokz is a leader in bone conduction technology, holding over 300 patents globally. Driven by the pursuit of the ultimate sports headphones and user experience, their bone conduction headphones, crafted from a fusion of the latest technology and ergonomics, have garnered high praise since the first generation launched in 2012. With numerous awards to their name, their designs, as well as their sound quality, have earned widespread acclaim.

In 2019, the sixth-generation bone conduction wireless headphone, "Aeropex," was finally released, launching with a limited crowdfunding campaign. Compared to the previous model, "AfterShokz Air," the new "Aeropex" boasts a 25% reduction in weight, features a dedicated magnetic charging port, and adopts Bluetooth 5.0. It also achieves enhanced headphone performance and usability, including a wider low-frequency range than ever before.
What we perceive as "sound" is typically transmitted through two pathways: "air conduction," where vibrations travel through the air, and "bone conduction," where vibrations travel through our bones. Ultimately, the inner ear's auditory nerves interpret these vibrations as sound. Aeropex utilizes "bone conduction," allowing you to enjoy music without blocking your ears. This means you won't miss either your music or the sounds around you. You can safely use them while jogging, walking, or commuting, without missing approaching vehicles or station announcements. Furthermore, the vibrations from "Aeropex" are angled at 30 degrees relative to the face. This unique structure not only enables deeper bass reproduction than previous models but also successfully minimizes vibrations. By shifting from the conventional method of "listening to music with earplugs" to "listening through bone," it presents an entirely new audio experience, enabling you to hear environmental sounds simultaneously while enjoying music.
The sixth-generation "Aeropex" enhances the reproduction quality of mid-to-high frequency ranges, making human voices clearer than in previous models. The magnetic charging port connects naturally when a cable is brought near, ensuring smooth handling. Additionally, it provides an alert if the port is wet from rain or sweat, preventing accidents. The headphones also meet the IP67 rating under IEC standard 60529, designed to withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. This allows for worry-free use even in heavy rain or during intense workouts.
A new sound leakage prevention structure reduces sound leakage by 50% compared to "AfterShokz Air," while also pursuing extreme lightness. Enhanced with proprietary "PremiumPitch 2+" technology, it achieves improved sound quality in a compact design. The battery offers 8 hours of continuous playback (up to 10 days standby), significantly exceeding the 6 hours of the previous "AfterShokz Air." Even with one hour of daily commuting, charging is only needed once a week, eliminating the hassle of frequent charging. Whether for sports like jogging, daily commutes, watching movies, gaming, or calls, "Aeropex" has the potential to transform many people's lifestyles.
