Hi guys, I'm trying to find something to watch movies with in my bedroom from my tv. Mostly for when it's late at night so I wouldn't disturb others while they sleep.

I don't want a large, over the ear headphones as I'll be lying down sometimes and I also don't want to stick earbuds in my ear due to problems I've had before.

I've been looking at air conduction earphones (not bone conduction) that just slips over your ear without the band that goes behind your head. Anyone familiar with any of these that has quick charge capabilities like a 10 minute charge for a couple hours use? I found some but none seem to have that quick charge feature.

I bought a pair of AfterShokz Aeropex for running. I now use them for numerous applications, including late night listening. Can't recommend the tech more.

I believe they've rebranded to Shokz now, and no longer offer the Aeropex model. However, some of their newer models look intriguing.

Bone conduction headphones absolutely have their place. Air conduction headphones sound like speakers you dangle near your ears, and I've never heard of them before now.

I have a set of Sony Float Run headphones (I'm still gonna say headphones even if they're in a different category) and they're pretty good even in relatively chaotic environments like a crowded gym.
