產品介紹 / Product Introduction

Aftershokz Trekz Titanium 是一個骨傳導藍芽耳機。換言之，你是不需要把耳機放進耳孔之中。你只需要把耳機掛在耳旁，就可以聽到音樂了。他亦是一隻無線的藍芽耳機，續航力比官方說明的6小時更為優勝。個人感覺充滿電後用滿一天也沒有太大問題的。配戴起上來有點緊，但還在可接受範圍。

由於骨傳導耳機的聲音是透過振動耳骨來傳送聲音，聲音調大點就會弄得耳骨癢癢的，所以一般都不會調得太大聲。除此之外，由於周邊聲音都能清楚聽到，隔音就指意不上了xD。

Aftershokz Trekz Titanium is a wireless bone conduction headphones. Where bone conduction technology can keep your ear free, where you can still listen to your friends speaking/surrounding. Official's is humble about its usage time: They claims 6 hours usage time while I could listen whole day without charging. You'll  feel a bit tight while using but it is still acceptable.

Also, since bone conduction headphones transmit sound via vibrating the bone near ear, you will feel itchy while volumes turns up.

我與它的相處還好嗎? / Is it useful to me?

說實話，買了一段時間了，用起來還可以的。起碼不會因為聽不到上司打電話來而捱罵，也不會錯失了同事之間的笑話分享。跑步也是一流的，也能配合Apple Watch使用。

唯有一次經驗令我哭笑不得︰我在醫院覆診時由於要等叫號，因此帶了這耳機去用了。途中遇上一位婆婆，婆婆本來打算問我路的，但她看到了耳機後面帶關心的拋下了一句︰「陰公咯，咁後生就耳聾...唔緊要啦我問第二個人啦！(真可憐，這麼年輕就有聽障了，不打緊我去問別人吧！」......

In fact it really benefit me in some way: I could keep my ear open while work, thus can aware boss phone call and jokes among work colleagues. I can also having my jogging with my Apple Watch.

Well sometime it could cause some silly confusion: Once I equipped it as I need to queue up inside hospital. While a elderly approach me for direction, she aware my headphones and talk to me: Oh you wear this stuff... feel sorry for your deafness.... 

結語 / Conclusion
