H2O AudioInterval Swim Headphones for Apple Watch – Waterproof IPX8 Swimming Earbuds with Bluetooth, 6-Hour Battery Life, Open-Ear Bone Conduction, and Goggle Loops – Blue

*Apple watch was super nice so I could pre-download podcasts & listen (though I had to listen at 1x speed rather than my usual 1.5-2x to maintain focus while swimming). I also tested the Bluetooth to my poolside phone. I know it's not supposed to work, but I wondered if it might work somewhat since the receiver is on the back of my head which is largely outside the water when swimming freestyle, but it didn't - it worked when I wasn't side-breathing, but it was really disruptive on every breath to lose audio because it dipped slightly under the water, then on wall turns audio was lost too (and even disconnected on a long streamline off the wall). So pre-downloaded is the only way to go and the Apple watch gave slick options for that with Spotify/Apple Music, Podcasts, & Audible Audiobooks all pre-downloadable pretty easily.*Downside of using the apple watch for this is it no longer tracks your laps - it depends on the motions of your arms for that so while it's on your head it can't track laps. The play/pause button sometimes seemed like it didn't get back to the music correctly - but that could have been my apple-watch locking or something I suppose.*Bone Conduction audio is surprisingly clear under water & avoids the tendency for in-ear buds to wobble or fall out or feel uncomfortable. But Bone Conduction isn't very good outside the water if there is much of any other noise (hard to hear around other sounds). Ex. at a public pool the swim team & Zumba class made it hard to hear BUT if I put a finger over one of my ears (like a body-guard with an earpiece) I could hear my audiobook while resting on the pool wall. I was worried it would be too loud when I tested it at home since bone conduction audio is still audible to others around you if it's quiet enough and you have it turned up a lot but this is unlikely at a pool just due to the ambient sounds of water/fans/splashing.*Overall a great buy - I'm happy with it and will be using it each time I go for a swim.

LOVE these headphones. easy to attach apple watch and listen to spotify while swimming. there go the days of MP3 downloading!! super easy to use and great sound quality.gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the earbuds did lift up every few strokes and they didn’t sit quite right in my temples. more like in front of my ears due to how i naturally wear my goggles

I purchased these headphones for swimming. I watched the videos and read reviews and was excited to use in the pool. I wanted a device that uses streaming, I don’t have a bank of music for an mp3 player, which a lot of waterproof products are on the market.Unfortunately these do not work, they only work about 5 feet away from my cell phone. As soon as I start swimming they loose connection and it’s says that over and over again in my ear.The sound is great when it works. I even got a waterproof pack to keep my cell phone with me, but it looses signal in the water. That didn’t work either. Disappointing purchase for streaming music.

Seriously - you have to hunt to discover the awful truth - to use this you have to take your watch out of its strap, insert it in a special carrier and attach it to the back of your head - where of course it will be easier to read the laps and other information using that extra pair of eyes on stalks floating over your head. Annoyed, returning... sheesh..I hate marketing people...

Interval Bone conducting headphones from H20 are great, as I can listen to downloaded podcasts. Other headphones enable music, but not podcasts.

I swim laps 5 days a week using a full face snorkel. That means I have had to devise a different way to wear this device. I put on a narrow, elastic headband. Then, using a strip of Velcro, I attach the main H2O device to the top head straps of the snorkel before putting it on. Then I attach the bone conduction headphones to the headband and slide them close to the top of my ears. I can hear GREAT! For several weeks I put my watch on the device. However, I REALLY missed being able to see my laps, what time it was, etc. I decided to try just connecting the device Bluetooth to my phone in my bag at the pool edge. This way I’m able to listen to music, podcasts or live programs while still being able to wear my watch on my wrist. PERFECTION!!

On the first day of use the right earbud started popping and crackling. The next day I went to use them they wouldn’t even turn on. Is something waterproof if it breaks in the water?
