(Pocket-lint) - AfterShokz is no more and will be known as Shokz moving forward. The company says it's more punchy branding, but we can't help but think it also sets the bone conduction headset company apart from the Aftershock drink, which is also known for producing a pounding in the head.
Shokz is best known for its bone conduction headphones, with transducers placed in front of the ear using vibrations through the cheekbones to deliver sound.
The appeal of this setup is that you don't need to have anything in your ear, which means you can hear what's going on around you, which is great for sports in places busy, but when you want to keep playing.
In its review, Pocket-lint's sister site The Gear Loop said that "Shokz Aeropex lets you enjoy music, audiobooks, and podcasts without completely cutting yourself off from the world."
Along with the company rebranding, there is also a new version of the Aeropex called OpenRun. These have all the features of the previous Aeropex flagship, but add faster charging.
A 10-minute charge will deliver 1.5 hours of playtime, so it's no problem if you forget to charge them - you can just plug them in while you're changing and there's enough juice to keep you going throughout. throughout your workout.
The headphones will connect to your smartphone or watch via Bluetooth, while there's a 26g titanium frame.
With an IP67 rating, it doesn't matter if it's raining on it or you're sweating in it - and it's refreshing not to have to plug anything into your ear.
The new Shokz OpenRun will be available for £129.99 from Amazon UK and other retailers.
