In terms of sound quality, nothing will beat open-back full-size headphones, but those are bulky, not resistant to the elements, and leak sound to the outside world. IEMs also offer greater sound quality than these bone-conduction devices, but they block outside sound and may not be comfortable for the task. These are just another alternative for people who want a different set of features.
Honestly, I even find them handy in the office now and again if I'm just listening to something simple and want to be able to hear a coworker walk up (although often I don't want to hear anything).

Edit: Nevermind, they're just listed as "Air" on the website.
I've never heard of these, or seen anything like this before. I've got to convince myself I don't need them.

You're correct, but not dying is important to me when I'm trail or (particularly) road running, and I need to hear around me. Same goes for snowboarding; I've found them to be useful, enabling me to hear my riding buddy. Sound quality is good enough for workout environments, but with magnitudes better spatial awareness.

In fact if audiobooks is your primary use, these Air at $60 make far more sense than the Aeropex at $112.
For music quality and/or max volume, the more expensive Aeropex might be worth it.
