I agree, especially as its the same speaker that stops working. I use
them daily with GPS, but I don't think that's excessive.

Both of mine were the Bluetooth versions, so no external cables to

It struck me that the cable entry into the headband looks like a common

headband just behind the entry point to relive strain on it.
I have had my Aftershokz for a couple of years and they get heavy use
and no problems. Maybe because of the cable tie which I applied
immediately I got them out of the box.

Hi: It was the left speaker that broke in both cases. I won't be

Interested to hear your experience Les. I had the same thing happen to
a wired pair I had been using with my computer at work. It seemed like
something inside the left speaker came loose so that it no longer
worked.

Hi: I use Aftershocks with hearing aids and they work fine for me, but
I guess results may depend on your hearing impairment. I also wear
sunglasses, so things do get a little crowded above the ears.
However the durability of Aftershocks is questionable. My first pair
were replaced under warranty when one of the speakers stopped
working. This replacement has developed exactly the same fault, but
now out of warranty. Aftershocks aren't cheap and I'd expect better
quality for the money. Are there alternatives on the market?

I can normally manage with the volume on an iPhone with normal
earphones/headphones as long as they are not really quiet models and
providing my phone is set at maximum volume.
It occurs to me that the conductive Aftershock model may suit me
better
as they do not involve taking hearing aids out, that is providing
that
they are not low volume and quiet.
