I picked up a pair of Aftershokz Air "open ear" headphones... and since I got them about 3 weeks ago, I haven't worn my AirPods. These things are just so comfortable, audio is Crystal clear and I love being able to hear what's going on around me...

Anyone else seen/tried these?

I don't have that exact model, but I have the Aftershokz OpenComm that I use for work where I zoom about 70% of the day. I own a plethora of IEMs and headphones including the APP. What is cool about this model is that it has a boom mic. It's VERY comfortable for work, and my ears never feel fatigued because nothing goes inside my ears. I love being able to hear conversations around me as well as my own voice.

The only negative is if there is any loud noises (blender, construction, TV) in the background, it will drown it out. However, that can be solved by wearing earplugs with this. The other problem is you have to turn the volume pretty high, but it won't bust your ear drum like IEMs.
