Taking into account your customers’ feedback… that’s what AfterShokz is doing and that’s why they released their new AfterShokz Aeropex Mini. Some people were looking for the likes of a smaller Aeropex, similar to what we had in the AferShokz Titanium era. AfterShokz Titanium also had a normal and a mini version. The Aeropex Mini has all the features of the high-end and high-quality Aeropex, only the frame is a bit smaller. The release date is still a big question mark for us. These headphones were presented for the first time on CES 2020 beginning of this year.
Difference between the Aeropex Mini and the Aeropex
Head size…differs from one person to another. Although the Aeropex was intended to suit them all, some people still complained. AfterShokz did get some feedback of people the frame at the back was slightly too long. AfterShokz took away this feedback and developed a new shorter Aeropex. Without of course ignoring all the magnificent features and functionalities of the globally admired and loved Aeropex.
So 8 hours of battery life, a waterproof IP 67 construction (submersible for max 30 minutes up to one meter depth) and of course the premium pitch bone conduction 2.0+ technology which makes AfterShokz the best of the bone conduction class. The only difference is the size of the frame. The smaller Aeropex has a frame which is 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) smaller.
Which Aeropex do I need?
Now AfterShokz has released the smaller version of its top model the next logic question will probably be: which Aeropex do I need? Will the Aeropex Mini or the classic Aeropex fit me the best? To help you decide which bone conduction headphones will become your partner in bone conduction crime AfterShokz published a size guide. In short, the intent is to measure the back from your head from one ear to the other one. This can be done with measuring tape but also with for example a cable or any other household tool which is suitable for this task. Next you use AfterShokz’ ruler to determine whether you need a classic Aeropex or a Mini.

Do you know if/when there are going to be other colors on the market than black for the mini?
Hi Mo, so far no news about additional colors.
Where can I buy Aeropex Mini in Europe?
Hi Abilio, thanks for your message. I have talked to AfterShokz about this matter and they told me there isn’t a release date yet for the Aeropex Mini in Europe. Currently it is only available in the US and Canada. As soon as I have more info I will post it on my blog.
Want to ask, my head measurement is about 24cm, will it be enough to use the mini version instead? And how much length the wire of the Aeropex mini and Aeropex? If Aeropex mini wire length is > 24cm, I think that is really fit me well.
Hi Freddy,
The general instructions of AfterShokz are to go for the Aeropex when your head measurement is more than 23,49 cm and to go for the Aeropex Mini when it is less than 23,49 cm. So in your case I would go for the Aeropex.
Regards
Hi Wim,
Do you know when Aftershokz will release their successor to the standard Aeroplex (released in Spring 2019 I think)?
Kind regards, Wouter
Hi Wouter,
I have no update or news about an aeropex successor yet. The OpenMove is the latest release but it is a step-in model.
Regards,
Wim
