Bone conduction swimming headphones 32GB

Technical details

Losing your phone’s Bluetooth connection as soon as you get into the water can make swim headphones frustrating to use. These bone conduction headphones pair Bluetooth listening with built-in MP3 storage, so you can switch to stored music for a swim and use a phone connection for workouts on land.

They have an open-ear design and an IP68 waterproof rating. The listed specs include 32GB of memory, Bluetooth 6.1, a 200mAh battery and a weight of 26g. Playback is rated for up to 8 hours, with a 2-hour full charge. According to the manufacturer, they can operate underwater for up to two hours at a depth of two metres.

Getting the most from it

The built-in storage is the feature that makes this model more practical for swimming than headphones that depend entirely on a phone connection. The product description says 32GB can hold up to 8,000 songs, the number you can store will depend on the files. Before heading to the pool, load the music you want and select MP3 mode. Bluetooth signals may be disrupted underwater, so a phone connection is not the mode to rely on during a swim.

On a run or bike ride, Bluetooth gives you another way to listen without first transferring music to the headphones. The open-ear setup also leaves the ear canal unsealed, which may suit people who dislike in-ear earbuds. It does mean these are not designed to create the enclosed listening feel of a sealed earbud.

Usage tips

For a pool session, choose a playlist before getting in, switch to MP3 mode and leave the phone somewhere safe. That avoids fiddling with a connection at the water’s edge. For running or cycling, pair the headphones with your phone before setting out and keep the volume at a level that lets you stay aware of what is around you, an open-ear design is not a substitute for paying attention.

The stated battery life may cover a longer workout, but the underwater operating time listed is shorter. If your swim routinely lasts beyond that window, this model may not suit the session. Magnetic fast charging is included, though the supplied information does not specify charger compatibility or charging accessories.

Dudas de compra

Will Bluetooth work while swimming? The description warns that water can interfere with Bluetooth transmission. Use MP3 mode underwater and reserve Bluetooth for land-based listening.

Can I use it for more than swimming? Yes. The product is also described for running, cycling and workouts, with Bluetooth available for use with a mobile device.

Does it sit inside the ear? No. Its bone conduction, open-ear design does not go deep into the ear canal. It may suit listeners who want to avoid that plugged-in feeling, but it will not provide the same sealed fit as in-ear headphones.

Before buying

It’s a good choice if you want one pair for pool sessions and land workouts, and you are willing to use stored audio in the water. Compared with basic Bluetooth-only sports headphones, the 32GB MP3 mode removes the need to keep a phone connection active while swimming. The trade-off is that your underwater listening depends on music stored in advance, and the listed underwater runtime is limited to two hours at two metres. It may not be the best choice if you want a sealed in-ear fit, or if your swim sessions exceed the stated underwater operating time.
