H2O Audio Surge+ 100% Waterproof Headphones - Noise Canceling, Sweatproof, IPX8 Swim Earbuds with Bass Boost, Multiple Earplug Sets, for Swimming, Running & Underwater Activities - Black/Blue

This is my second set. As far as I’m concerned they’re the benchmark for waterproof in ear headphones. I use them wakeboarding, they take a beating and keep going like new.

At first - they looked ok - if a little flimsy and cheap.Sounded ok when tested.Used a couple of times doing lanes in the swimming pool.When used for the 3rd time - sound was distorted and tinny - no bass and illegible voice.Returned for a refund. Will not buy these again - will invest in better quality ear phones.

I searched for ages to find a replacement for my old ones and these are fab with a good length cord and good sound

I got these to replace some old ones that I brought on Amazon years ago and these are even better. I hope they last as long as my last ones. I'm a really crap swimmer and it takes me ages to swim a mile and I really get bored but when I get to listen to my music I can swim like a fish. (Or at least it makes me feel as if I can swim like a fish.) LOL

Great headphones - I’ve spent a while looking for a decent, comfortable pair of head phones for kitesurfing.These were a lot more expensive than I usually would pay but they really do the job.I teamed them up with some custom ear inserts to make sure they don’t fall out and the sound quality and volume is brilliant.I just need to find an MP3 player that can keep up

They don’t last long enough for me to give them a good review (note plural....i bought several as cheap spares, but I thought I would get more value)

I have been using waterproof MP3 players and headphones for over 15 years.Ultimately they all fail with a year to 18 months.These headphones sound the best out of the box out of all the ones I've tried.I use them with the H2O player.However, as so as you start doing any stroke where you going under the water, the timer starts to how long before they fail.It can be they become too muffled and no matter how often you follow the instructions to clear them, they're done. If they don't become muffled, then they blow.They have a two year warranty, but that means sending them back to the USA which can take up to a month, then that set will fail as well.I've decided when these fail (the left ear is already muffled after less than two months swimming 3 times a week) that I'll try the bone conduction player.

This item might be useful for playing in a swimming pool or at the beach, but it keeps falling off when you’re swimming, no matter which ear tip you try.
