Swimbuds Made for Swimmers 100% Waterproof Sport Premium Headphones | Short Cord + Low Drag Design | 11 Unique Eartips for Watertight Fit

I decided to try a different size of ear bud "trees" (the thing that sticks in your ear and seals out the water) and after switching from the large to medium, I was able to swim nonstop for 50 minutes without having to adjust at all! It really was amazing how they worked so well - even without a swim cap. Great sound! Works perfectly! Easily merits a 5 -star review! Original review >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The good news: + The Ipod and the buds really are waterproof! No problems at all after 7 sessions so far. + Once you get the right fit, the sound is clear, the seal is tight and you can actually listen to music while swimming! + It's especially awesome for kick drills when your head is mostly above water. + The earbuds are rugged and sturdy and more waterproof that I expected. Even after I accidentally completely submerged the earbuds (not in my ears) they worked just fine. + Overall, this is a pretty amazing! The not-so-good: - I usually spend the first 10 minutes of each swim session experimenting with the earbud fit, placing and replacing the bud in my ear until I get the right seal. - It's only occasionally that I completely forget about the earbuds and get into the "zone" and just swim. Almost the whole time, I am conscious of the buds, wondering if they will slip out, hearing the sound muffle because the buds shifted. I can usually swim for about 2 songs before a bud loosens and I have to stop for a minute and re-position it or maybe dry it off on a towel. - The iPod controls are very stiff from the waterproofing so you have to push fairly hard when you adjust the volume or switch songs. - There were very few instructions in the box; I watched a youtube video to learn how to place the earbuds properly (pull your ear up, put the bud in at a 45 degree angle). Despite the negatives, I still give this 4 stars, because it is pretty darn amazing to be able to listen to music at all while I swim! It's like a dream come true! Plus, it would be impossible to find a product that fits everyone's ears perfectly, but this comes pretty close and I find that when I breathe through my mouth, my jaw makes my ears move a little so it is natural that the bud would shift; can't fault the product for that. I really think this is the best product you are going to find for music while you swim. I am going to try and swim with a swim cap... I suspect that will keep everything more stable so I can hopefully completely get in the zone and just enjoy the music while swimming. Despite the caveats listed above, this product works well! Its exciting to finally be able to listen to music while I swim!

A relevant preamble: I started swimming with an MP3 player about 1.5 years ago, and for the first few months of irregular use I was pretty happy with the headphones that came with my waterproofed iPod shuffle (which has been flawlessly reliable this whole time, fwiw). However, once I started living in a place where I could swim 5-6 days a week, they very rapidly stopped working unless I spent several minutes compressing the water out of them before I swam, and they were positioned *just so* in my ears while swimming, which meant a ton of stopping and adjusting. They finally completely gave up the ghost, but I wasn't ready yet to spend a big chunk of money on workout headphones, so I tried about 3 different brands of under-$40 waterproof headphones - all of which ran into the same problem of working irregularly within 2 weeks of 5-6 days a week use. I finally capitulated and shelled out the money for these headphones about 4.5 months ago, and I could not be happier. They've worked perfectly, no glitches in sound quality or finicky need to do air compressions on the speakers, etc., etc. I did have to do some trial and error to find just the right earbud covers, and so was a little worried before I found the right size/shape because they don't work if they fall out of your ears (even if they don't come fully loose - I wear a swim cap that usually keeps that from happening - you get silence from all waterproof headphones when they're not fully set in your ears). But they come with tons of different styles and sizes, so rest assured, you'll find the right ones if you keep trying. Of course, latex degrades eventually (especially in the tropical climate where I live - and yes, I'm lazy and store my gear outside for easy access), and I decided it was time to get more of the ergo style earbud covers so I could go back to wearing my exact preferred size. Unfortunately, I found that while you can buy the other styles individually, ergo is only available in the variety pack. But this is where the 5 star review really comes in - I contacted the company directly, and they got back to me right away offering to just invoice me the cost of the ergos (same low cost as the other single-type packs) and ship them to me right away, apologizing for not having an ergo-only package already available. Within an hour my ergos were paid for and shipped! This kind of quality and customer service more then pays for itself. If you swim regularly, these headphones are undoubtedly worth the little extra cost.

Enfin des écouteurs à la hauteur de mes attentes: qualité du son et embouts variés pour les ajuster à la morphologie de chacun.

[this is a revised review] This is a great product with good sound and good comfort. This pair is my 4th pair of waterproof headphones. regardless of the brand, the life expectancy is usually max 3 years while the most fragile part is the buds. With these, I had little malfunction problem on the cord, but the customer support reacted quickly even though my warranty was expired. Can only recommend, will buy again.

Nach einigen Testversuchen mit anderen wasserdichten Kopfhörern kann ich diese hier nur empfehlen. Dank der vielzahl an mitgelieferten Ohrstöpsel müsste eigentlich jeder sein Glück finden. Ich benutze die Tannenbaumförmigen Stöpsel und diese halten das Ohr absolut wasserfrei. Der Klang der Kopfhörer ist super, kein Vergleich zu billigeren Modellen, somit tut der schon hohe Preis nicht ganz so weh und ist auch absolut gerechtfertigt. Bin super zufrieden!

This is my second pair of the swimbuds as the first pair finally died after 1 1/2 years of daily use. I have found them to work very well, the sound is good and I am able to get an excellent seal with the included tree fittings. The ability to listen to music while completing my daily laps has completely revolutionized my swimming.

Ho ricevuto le cuffie in una bella confezione contenente diversi tappi auricolari intercambiabili. Peccato che la qualita' del suono e' pessima, i bassi sono pressoché inesistenti. Anche la qualità dei materiali delle cuffie é ridicola (per circa 70 euro). Sembrano le cuffiette distribuite in certi voli aerei. Rese immediatamente. Servizio di reso efficiente.
