Giving Good Vibes with Aftershokz!

It’s Wednesday and I’m so happy! Since it’s the holidays, work has been a bit slower so it seems to have taken Wednesday some time to get here. It may also be due to the fact that I do my shopping online and get it out of the way early so I don’t feel the holiday stress. Today, I wanted to pop in and share about an awesome opportunity I had this holiday season with my awesome friends at Aftershokz!

As we all know, running is my favorite exercise. However, I really love to listen to music while I run. This summer, I ran with groups a majority of the time but when I did run solo, I used to run with one ear bud out so I could be aware of my surroundings. It’s always a good idea to be aware whether it’s your first time running that path or thousandth time. However, that’s when I heard about Aftershokz. Recently another blogger posted about how she is able to stay completely aware of her surroundings and can still listen to music with these. When I had the opportunity to get some headphones for myself, I was all in!

This holiday season, Aftershokz went above and beyond. I received a pair of the Trekz Air headphones as well as a pair of the Trekz Titanium to give away as part of their #GiveGoodVibes promotion. Their promotion name was super clever since these are bone conducting headphones and that’s how you’re able to maintain awareness of your surroundings but we’ll get back to that in a second.

I think it was really neat of them to offer that promotion. My friend, Cece, was by my side during a good part of my training for the Chicago Marathon. We often went to the track together and supported one another. She was also the person I called the night before the race to get all the yayas out. As luck would have it, she mentioned that her old headphones were on their last life so I decided to gift her the new ones! It was the least I could do to show appreciation for all the 5AM track workouts we did together! It was so awesome to see runners gift headphones to special people in their life.

Aftershokz are great for runners and athletes alike because they are wireless and sweat resistant. The Trekz Air are the light weight version of the two and I absolutely love them. I’ve put them on before I walk the dog and seriously forget I’m even wearing them sometimes. Well, other than the fact that I have music in my ears, haha! So Aftershokz don’t sit in your ears like traditional headphones do, they rest outside so your ears aren’t covered. The headphones have transducers that guide mini vibrations through your cheekbones to your ears so you can hear your music! Once I put them on, they stay in place and I can listen to music seamlessly.

The battery life on these headphones are amazing! If you are looking for something to wear during a long run, these are it! Not only do they hold a long charge but if you need to take a call while running, you can use the controls on the headphones to answer. I’ve been on a walk and was seamlessly able to answer a call. The person on the other side was able to hear my loud and clear! 

If you still need to get something for the runner in your life, Aftershokz is the way to go! This company really cares about it’s customers and if you ever have any issues with their products, they will do anything to fix it! Head over and give Aftershokz a try. Maybe you can even give a pair to a friend and #GiveGoodVibes.

Have you ever used Aftershokz headphones?
