Aftershokz sent us a couple of their new Bluez 2s series Gamez headsets to run through its paces. Find out what we thought about them
Skewed and Reviewed have posted their review of the new bone conducting headsets. They found it an interesting new hardware for gamers looking for a new audio experience.
EB: AfterShokz has officially released the Gamez wireless bone conduction headphones, which will allow gamers with different types of hearing abilities to listen to their games and other audio unlike ever before. The headphones also allow for greater situational awareness because they don’t rest or sit in your ears, effectively keeping the ambient sounds of your environment audible to you. Just think about gaming in public, or wearing your headset while biking, this headphone will allow you to enjoy your entertainment based content without completely blocking your ability to hear oncoming traffic, or someone talking shit about you on the subway.
Dealspwn writes: The main selling point here is the open ear design that allows your ears to take in sound from outside of the headset too. This provides some great advantages whether using it for phone calls, talking with friends when PC/PS3 gaming or listening to music on the move. As a headset that looks good, sounds good and talks a good game, the Aftershokz Bluez is a great all-in-one purchase for chatty and energetic music lovers and gamers.
i need a new headset, i think this might be a dope pickup, just for looks at least
I highly recommend these. I happened to run across an article about these last year when they announced them and preordered them. They aren't for audiophiles but they sound pretty good to me especially conversations. I use them all the time at work in a forklift traffic heavy warehouse and I can hear everything including my music.
"The headset is comfortable to wear and light weight enough so you don’t really notice it."
I dunno man, I have giant ears and I notice pretty much every headset after a short time :(
