[Electronics-Talk] Good bluetooth earphones for every day use

[Santiago Velasquez]

Good day to you all. I am considering buying a pear of Bluetooth earphones.

These will be primarily used with a mac book pro at uni during lectures and tutorials, and my smartphone. The aim is for me to be able to hear the screen reader from my laptop and smartphone while at the same time not blocking the outside sounds. I am hoping that I will be able to use them all day. I am just tired of having to bring my smartphone close to my face every time I want to use it just to hear its screen reader.

There are two pears of Bluetooth earphones that seem to be able to do this:
The LG Tone Platinum and the Treks Titanium by AfterShokz.

The Trekz Titanium use bone conduction technology, so they do not block your ears. In the other hand, the LG are worn as a neckless and the earphones retract and into the tiny band that goes around your neck.

Does anybody have any experience with either of these two products? or are there other products that I should be looking at?

Thanks for any help.

Kind regards
Santi
