Roughly £40 cheaper to buy a part from the USA with $70 shipping, than buy it from UK. Tho might get inport fees. 03:50:15, 2015-12-23

Item is $208, postage to UK is $65, Import Duty is £50. Total ~£230. Buying inside UK; £225. Inside USA; £148. £75 saved, if hand luggage. 20:50:21, 2015-12-23

AfterShokz3, initial thoughts: Bit of distortion, especially on any "crunchy" sounds, & midrange 600-1k needs equaliser compensating. 14:47:52, 2015-12-18
There's also a lot more sound bleed than I expected, especially when turned up enough for reasonable fidelity. 14:50:22, 2015-12-18
If I take them off I can still hear the sound just fine, which seems to go against the whole idea of "bone conduction" headphones to me. 14:51:59, 2015-12-18
But no, they don't block my ear canals so I can hear what's around me too. Difficult to wear with my glasses though. :/ 14:53:31, 2015-12-18
