All,
I do agree; they don’t work too well when I’m lying back in the chair when I’m
at dialysis.
Due to the titanium piece going around the back of the head.
But for walking from point A to point B when using with a GPS; they’re perfect.
I also have in my Bluetooth stable; a nice pair of old school headphones and a
nice pair of ear budz. So I have different listening options.
For those interested; I just picked up a kick A** Marshall Kilburn portable
Bluetooth speaker. This thing rocks! 40 watts with a classic old school
Marshall guitar amp look!
I had a Bose Sound Link Mini II, but this Marshall blows the Bose away! Both in
loudness and sound quality! The only thing I don’t care for, is that there is
no NFC technology. As in; you can’t take phone calls or make phone calls.
But what the heck; you’ll most likely have your phone with you when playing
music anyways.

Dean,
I haven't found them particularly uncomfortable but then I don't find any
headphones particularly comfortable for prolonged use.
I think I would like some sort of fabric band over the head because I find that
even with the lightest Titanium headphones the band around the back of the head
tends to descend particularly with vigorous activity like operating the
elliptical at the gym. I also like to enjoy a snooze in the sun usually after
lunch stretched out on a swing on the patio but the band behind the head
becomes impractical. One can raise it to a sort of diagonal arch sort of over
the crown of the head.
My headrush closed headphones over the head are a lot heavier and of course way
more isolating but they don't like to sit still while laying recumbent either
and get warm and also uncomfortable.
Nothing is perfect suppose.
Hope this is helpful.
Dale Leavens.

I have heard repeated complaints about these being quite uncomfortable to wear
for extended periods of time. Has the situation improved in the newer versions?

You can use any of the Aftershokz; the Titanium is quite expensive; about $110.
You can get the Bluez for around $70; and they have a lower-end model for
around $45 that I can't remember the name of.

Yes they most certainly do have a mic.

If you have been on the fence about a new model of the bone conduction
AfterShokz headphones any model, use the promo code of May15 to get a 15% price
discount. I think the Titanium are the most durable band but they all have
their benefits. I think every active phone user should have one. I keep them
around my neck when not actively using them. Feel free to pass this discount
code along.
