The audio quality is not HIFI, which couldn't be expected from something that has to go through your skin and bones to get to your eardrum, but if you get a comfortable pair, you can wear them all day for occasional music, calls, or audiobooks and forget you're even wearing them. Unless you have very short hair, or colorful AfterShokz, most people likely won't even notice you're wearing them. I even wear them with glasses (closest to my skull) and a mask (closest to my ear) and rarely have any discomfort after getting used to them.
My favorite thing about these, other than the fact that I can hear what's going on around me even while I'm listening to music, is the fact that the inside of my ears don't get that sweaty waxy feeling that comes from wearing earbuds all the time.
My only complaint is that they aren't comfortable to wear lying down, as the band around the back is stiff and pushes the transducers (essentially the speaker part) forward away from your ears when lying on your back and the transducers themselves press into your head/ear if you lie on your side.
Bottom Line: If you haven't tried bone conduction headphones, and you're interested in any one of the benefits, you owe it to yourself to give them a shot.

I found some on Amazon - Not Aftershokz, but also not "how much?!"
The brand I settled on was Tayogo S2. I think they were something like $29.95.
They work fine for me - although it was interesting learning about how the sound works.
They are loud enough for me to hear, and I can hear clearly. My ears aren't hi-fi, so sound quality is not the biggest priority. They sound fine to me.
With soft ear plugs in, there's lots more base. Lots. I use earplug when working in the yard w/ electric tools.
What I didn't expect is finding an external treble hot spot. There's an area in the pinna where, if I touch it with my finger, results in a lot more treble in the music. Weird.

Now, 2nd gen AirPods were a different story. I regularly forgot that I had those in.
