Swim Headphones with Bone Conduction, Bluetooth 5.4 & 32GB MP3 Player
Product description
What it is
These swimming headphones use bone conduction to deliver audio while keeping your ears open. Designed for water and sports use, they combine Bluetooth streaming with a built‑in MP3 player and provide an open-ear listening experience that helps you stay aware of your surroundings.
How it works
Audio is transmitted through the cheekbones, so you don’t insert anything into the ear canal. When you’re in water, Bluetooth signals won’t travel underwater, so you can switch to the built‑in MP3 player to continue listening. The device supports Bluetooth 5.4 for quick pairing and a stable connection up to 10 metres for land activities.
What stands out
- IP68/ waterproofing tailored for swimming and water sports, compatible with swimming caps and goggles.
- 32GB of onboard storage to house thousands of songs, audiobooks or podcasts, with easy toggling between Bluetooth and MP3 modes.
- Open-ear design with intelligent noise reduction and drivers intended to deliver clear highs, balanced mids and a solid bass feel while letting you hear surroundings.
- Ultra-lightweight at 32g with an adjustable strap for a secure, comfortable fit during runs, cycles or gym sessions.
- 8 hours of continuous playback and a robust build aimed at active use, plus two years of after‑sales support.
What to consider before buying
If your primary aim is underwater listening with reliable Bluetooth, note that Bluetooth won’t work submerged, you’ll want to use MP3 playback when swimming. Battery life and performance will depend on activity type and environmental conditions. This model sits in the practical, purpose‑built category rather than a luxury listening experience.
Who it’s for
- Swimmers who want music without blocking the ears or needing in-ear buds.
- Runners, cyclists and gym users who value awareness of surroundings while listening.
- Anyone preferring a lightweight, non‑in-ear design with a big internal storage option for offline listening.
Who it isn’t ideal for
- If you expect active Bluetooth streaming to work underwater, this won’t meet that need. You’ll need to switch to MP3 mode before entering water.
- Those seeking a traditional in-ear feel or a highly compact earpiece might prefer other form factors.
How to use it day to day
In the gym or on a run, pair via Bluetooth and enjoy streaming as you move. If you’ll be swimming, switch to MP3 mode and pick from your saved library. When you finish the swim, reconnect via Bluetooth for phone‑free listening during outdoor activities again.
What to check before you buy
- Confirm you’re comfortable with an open‑ear fit and the weight (32g) for long sessions.
- Consider whether you need 32GB of onboard storage versus relying on Bluetooth streaming.
- Check the fit with your head size and whether the adjustable band keeps the device secure during intense workouts.
How it compares to other approaches
Compared with traditional wireless buds, this option keeps ears open which improves situational awareness. It also offers an MP3 alternative for waterproof use. If you prioritise fully wireless underwater listening, this design won’t deliver that, for underwater listening, MP3 mode is essential, and you’ll rely on stored audio rather than a live Bluetooth stream.
Final decision
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you value open-ear listening for safety and situational awareness during workouts, and you need a built‑in MP3 option for swimming. It suits active users who want a versatile, all‑round sport headphone with a straightforward underwater listening solution. You may want to skip it if underwater Bluetooth streaming is a must or if you prefer a compact, in‑ear design.
