Headphones with bone conduction? What? You, too, is not heard nothing about? Well then, let’s get acquainted with this technology as an example of new AfterShokz TREKZ Titanium review.
CONTENTS OF DELIVERY
Supplied headphones in a beautiful box with a transparent front – for all to see what the original stuff is waiting for us inside.
The package has a case with earplugs, USB charging cable, documentation and two nozzles to change the size of the headband.
DESIGN AFTERSHOKZ TREKZ TITANIUM REVIEW
In appearance before us is quite standard wireless headphones with occipital arc. The only difference is that the bowl is quite an unusual shape and large size, but more on that a little further.
On sale are available several colors, including black, blue and green – just what you need for such a decision. Used Stretch rubberized plastic throughout the design. Assembling at a good level – TREKZ a pleasure to hold in their hands. The look on her head headphone quite unusual, again due to the fact that there is no ear cushions and bowls are fixed around the ear canal.
ERGONOMICS
Unusual sensations arise when using the model – as if wearing the wrong headphones. But this device is quite comfortable to wear, not too tight anything, there is no discomfort.
Base arc falls on the ear and sound is fixed – you can run, jump and do other physical activities. By the way, the headphones are not afraid of splashing and sweat, so you can run for hours on end.
CONNECTION CONTROLS
Connected TREKZ Titanium to smartphones using Bluetooth technology. There is support for A2DP profiles, AVRCP, HSP, HFP. The right of the arc rendered volume / power control button, microUSB port and status light. On the left cup function button, which allows you to switch tracks and answer calls.
SOUNDING
Initially, a few words about the bone conduction. Man is able to capture sound via air and bone conduction. The first method is familiar to all of us and is a transmission audiovoln air. The second option allows you to pick up sounds through the transfer of bone vibrations directly to the inner ear. Strong delve into this topic we will not, but let’s say that before such is used only in medicine. And only recently the headphones of this type began to appear on store shelves. The pioneer in this matter was the American company AfterShokz, which has in its list of several models. TREKZ Titanium last one.
Having read the promotional material I was looking forward to when AfterShokz TREKZ Titanium review will come to me and I could hear them. After all, in today’s world is not so many really interesting developments in the field of portable audio. And here at once, “bone conduction”.
And now a box with headphones in front of me, I get them, I connect to the smartphone, and don … Very strange experience. Music plays far, no detail. But at the same time I hear what is happening around. I went for the sake of the experiment walked with them in noisy places, rode the subway. Um … Just bowls vibrate to the beat of the music at the maximum volume, but the music itself did not hear the noise. And when to twist the volume to higher scores in quiet places, the surroundings become difficult to hear.
The quality of sound is typical sredneklassovye ear, maybe even worse. Prior to co-channel models in its price range it away. Full audibility environment – yes, there is, and rightly so, given the positioning of the sports headphones. At the same jog better hear everything that’s going on rather than be completely cut off from the world.
When earplugs are using plug-in, then once the situation is changing and there is a better detailing, perfect sound insulation (really nothing around inaudible) and in the general sound volume and density gains. It is with earplugs we would advise to use TREKZ Titanium, if you want to get the best sound quality. But such use escapes the most important advantage of this model – their openness.
FUNCTIONALITY
In addition to the main destination – listening to music – headphones can be used as a headset, that are responsible for the microphones on the cups. The quality of the latter at a sufficiently high level to communicate even in noisy environments.
AUTONOMY
life indicator on the battery is quite average for wireless headphones – about 6 hours. Since the manufacturer is positioning as a sports model, for any training that will be enough, and until the next already have time to recharge.
PROS: FULL AUDIBILITY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, EASE OF USE, THE ORIGINAL IDEA, THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS, ASSEMBLY
CONS: DO NOT EXPECT HIGH QUALITY SOUND, DO NOT RECORD THE AUTONOMY
CONCLUSION AFTERSHOKZ TREKZ TITANIUM REVIEW
AfterShokz TREKZ Titanium review is quite original and something even the right headphones for sports. However, the victim becomes a non-standard performance sound quality. Therefore, those who are important quality sound, you should pay attention to more traditional wired or wireless models. Unfortunately, the audio transmission technology used AfterShokz, needs some work.
