Disclaimer: I received a pair of Aftershokz Aeropex to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!
Music has always been my first love. I can remember saving up my money in the 90s to buy CDs on the first day they were released. I also love a bunch of different genres of music. If you took a look at my itunes catalog you would see a very eclectic mix – rap, R&B, jazz, gospel, alternative, SKA, rock, etc. I also listen to music constantly – in the car, at work, when I’m cleaning, while working out, running, etc. So as you can see, I love music!
Listening to music while running can be dangerous, so what’s a music lover to do? Enter Aftershokz Aeropex headphones!
These headphones do not go inside of your ears. Instead they sit outside of your ears and use bone conduction technology to provide clear and crisp audio. Using this technology allows a runner to not only hear their music, but also to hear everything in their surrounding area. As someone that runs in a city, I really appreciate this because I have to keep my eyes and ears open to hear people running behind me, bikers and cars. In addition, these headphones use enhanced audio technology so that the sound delivered can have a deeper bass, less vibration and louder volume.
Now let’s talk battery life! Is there anything worse that your headphones dying during a run? Especially a long run? These headphones have an 8 hour battery life – how sweet is that? Because of the extended battery life, you can listen to music, podcasts and audiobooks.
Not only are the headphones awesome, but they have also partnered with Disney for an amazing giveaway.

They are amazing!
Deborah @ Confessions of mother runner says
I got a pair last year and love them especially for walking around and listening to my audio books. Great sweepstakes too!
kookyrunner says
I love to wear them when I’m doing laundry and cleaning – so convenient!
Catrina says
Sounds like a great product. What a generous sweepstake!
kookyrunner says
Right?! It’s such a great sweepstakes!
Renée says
I have a pair of trekzair (or whatever they are called haha) – I still am not totally sure about them but I have to say I do like that I can now hear what’s around me AND the music. And as much as I LOVE music, I’m not so dependant anymore on it during a run since I went so long without headphones!
kookyrunner says
Unfortunately I’m still super dependent on my headphones – I just love music too much – so I love that I can wear these and still hear my surroundings.
Kimberly Hatting says
I’m gonna check out the sweepstakes! Since my iPod died a few months ago, I have been running almost exclusively without music (I did borrow the hubby’s Nano once for some ABBA LOL). I was really surprised how easy it’s been to not have music pushing me along…even in a few races. I never would have believed I could run “in silence,” but it’s been a nice change.
kookyrunner says
So happy that you are going to enter the sweepstakes – keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Rachel says
I love my Aftershokz. They’re a lifesaver for solo runs. And even runs with my dogs. 🙂
kookyrunner says
They are also so comfortable! I just love them.
Jenn says
Whoa! This is a fabulous giveaway! I have the Trekz Titaniyum and I really love them, especially from a safety standpoint.
kookyrunner says
That’s what I really loved about them – the extra security I have while running.
Chaitali says
I love my Aftershokz! The battery life is great.
kookyrunner says
I agree! Almost makes me wish I was going to run another marathon…almost, lol.
Farrah says
I love Aftershokz so much! I may have to just suck it up and get a pair sometime–it’d be so cool to be able to listen to music while swimming!
kookyrunner says
Definitely check them out!
Becky says
I’m so in love with the Aeropex! The sound is like none other, the model has less vibration than former ones, and the battery life is awesome! I can’t wait to see who wins this giveaway too! Great review!
kookyrunner says
i also want to see who won the giveaway as well!
Cari says
I love Aftershokz. I have an old pair of Bluez2S that were hand me downs and got a new pair at the expo that I haven’t yet set up. Oops. For me the 2S do double duty as a headband, which I love. While I don’t mind hats, I don’t like headbands while running as they’re too fiddly
kookyrunner says
I liked that I am able to use a headband or hat with the headphones – really helps me for running in all types of weather!
Cari says
Same! And they work with ball or ski cap
