These are hand-washable, last a couple days of moderate use between charges. I've gotten no complaints using the mic for calls.
Listening to podcasts or books while doing housework or other drudgery makes the tasks so much more pleasant. "Oh, I guess I'm finished. Pity there's nothing else to do."
Works lag-free when watching videos on my phone or on Chromecast w/ Google TV. Unfortunately there is lag when using them on the Nintendo Switch (new feature on the latest firmware): about 3/4 of a jump's worth of lag in Super Mario World and Ninja Gaiden.

I'll need to research how this differs from the aeropex model.
I had their air model and I could not hear anything via bone conduction was able to hear only from the tiny speakers.
Bone conduction is not for everyone..

Interesting side fact, the reason why people think they sound different when they hear recordings of themselves is because most of what you think of as your voice is you hearing it as conducted through your bones. When you hear it only via your eardrums, it doesn't sound as deep and therefore different.
I have owned the Air and the Titanium before this. The Aeropex is leaps and bounds better than those. The Aeropex is lighter and has better sound quality. However, if you turn them to max volume, once in a while, they will BUZZ on your face. It does so much less than the Air or the Titanium, but definitely try to blast some music while you're in the return period to make sure.
They are great for sports. They are nearly impossible to shake off during workouts. I've sprinted at full speed and even box/kickboxed without them coming off
As @ppsagehen reported, over time, they have a tendency of becoming loose and rattling inside. I think the transducers become detached. I've had 2 of them do that to me after about a year.. The good news is that their customer service stands ready to deal with it. When I submitted a warranty claim for them, they immediately sent me a brand new set as a replacement.

For those who haven't tried bone conduction headphones before and are curious to what they sound like, for music, they sound like really small and cheap bluetooth speakers with no bass. In reality, they pretty much are just little speakers, as you can still hear them if they're 1cm away and not touching your ears.
Most of the sound is in the midrange, so for voices (podcasts, audiobooks), which is mainly what I use it for, they actually sound great.

I equate it to having your own, volume controlled background music/Musak and slightly better than the speaker on my phone for calls. It's still fantastic compared to isolating, in-ear, or on-ear headsets for everyday use where fidelity doesn't matter nearly as much as distraction or communication.
