Comprehensive evaluation:

AfterShokz Bluez2 AS500 The bone conduction Bluetooth headset frees your ears and does not block your ears when you wear it. You can listen to the surrounding environment more and ensure safety. It also solves the discomfort, even pain, of wearing earphones. At the same time, it is positioned as a sports headset, which is waterproof and sweat proof, so that the headset will not be damaged due to sweating, and the service life of the headset will be increased.

advantage:

Handsome appearance, full sense of technology, exquisite workmanship and comfortable wearing.

The non in ear type does not block the ear, so that the ear can receive the ambient sound, which is safer. Wearing it for a long time without in ear pain can protect hearing.

Long battery life, various key functions, can call back the last call, without taking out the phone to dial.

Waterproof and sweat resistant, it will not damage the headset, and is suitable for sports wear.

Although the microphone is not near your mouth, you can still talk clearly when moving.

It charges quickly and can be fully charged in 1 hour.

Disadvantages:

When the volume is high, it vibrates violently and feels uncomfortable.

It is not suitable to wear with glasses or cycling glasses. It is like wearing both myopia glasses and 3D glasses. It is recommended to wear contact lenses when using bone conduction headphones.

It is not very suitable for life. I'm afraid that the earphone will be crushed when I sit or lie down carelessly.

Suggestion:

The "Redial the last call" in the manual is printed as "Redial the last call". I hope the manufacturer can correct it.

It is recommended to add glasses clips or glasses buckles to increase the comfort of glasses users.

preface

      At the beginning of cycling to and from work, my wife told me not to wear earphones to listen to music when cycling, so that I could not hear the sound of the surrounding environment and it was unsafe. However, I was lucky to get the opportunity to try the AftershokZ Bluez 2 bone conduction Bluetooth headset provided by IT168 this time, so I won't bother about it.

Knowledge popularization

What is bone conduction? Sound can also be transmitted to the auditory nerve through the skull and jaw, causing hearing. In science, this way of sound transmission is called bone conduction. Some deaf people can use bone conduction to listen to sound. It is said that when Beethoven was deaf, he used his teeth to bite one end of the stick and the other end to listen to his own playing on the piano, so that he continued to create.

I encountered some problems in the use process. During a week's use, there were four intermittent Bluetooth problems, one of which lasted for 5 minutes, the other two occurred in the same place again, and the other one lasted for several seconds. The specific reason is unknown. In addition, the wind is loud during riding. The earphones need to be turned up to hear clearly, and the volume needs to be higher than that of normal earphones.
