I bought a pair of the Aleck punks about two months ago. They worked well for a few weeks. Since about 4 weeks ago the right punk is not working anymore in the sense that no sound (music) is coming out of the right punk. I did several times a factory reset (at full battery) as indicated the Aleck support website. Did not made a change. I wrote an e-mail to the Aleck support team. They were unable to give me any advice which was helpful. I am now stuck with only the left punk working. I wrote back an e-mail asking to replace or reimburse me. Now 48 hrs later, no one is responding anymore. Extremely disappointed with this after sale support level. These punks are not cheap and I would expect another level of support if Aleck claims quality material.

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully they reach out to you soon and make it right. Maybe wait a few days to see if they reach out. If not contact them again. I haven’t had any issues with mine.

This is happening to me now

But how are they at reducing wind turbulence over your ears? For around $30 I’ve been using Windfree ear covers. They look like over the ear headphones but stop wind noise by preventing turbulence in and over your ears. I can use any earbud with my Windfree covers and do so with the volume set very low which allows me to hear my surroundings even better.

That looks interesting. I have not see that product before. I rode with a single ear bud for years, but personally I prefer an open ear system. Also, from what I have seen it is ilegal to use ear buds while cycling is various states and counties. (But is it really being enforced? 🤷🏻‍♂️) In fast riding or windy situations there will be wind turbulence noise which makes it harder to hear but for a majority situations it isn’t really a problem. Also I see no reason why the windfree covers couldn’t be used with these, but I’m not sure how it would perform. The good thing about these is the communication feature that allows you to connect with a group. Also these have dual mics that block out the wind noise to give clear feedback when talking to someone. Thanks for watching!
