    Many people outside do not have headphones on. But most people who are walking/running/cycling do have them on.

      Yup. I used to bike with headphones hanging around my neck so i could hear some music but also the world. Its much better now with passthrough, I can put them in my ears to hear both the audio and world normally.

      These look even better than the active passthrough, as they would use way less power for the same benefit. Im exactly the market for these “open” headphones.

        For what it’s worth, I’ve quite enjoyed my aftershokz, on my second pair. The one downside I have is that the wind going over them makes a noise in my ear, and the furry things you clip to your bike helmet straps don’t help enough. don’t get me wrong, you have the wind noise in your ears regardless, but the aftershocks make it worse.

        On the plus side, I don’t have to worry about them ever falling off, unlike these, strapped underneath my helmet like they are.
