Swimming Headphones with 32GB MP3, IP68 Bone Conduction Open-Ear Headset
Product description
What it is
These swimming headphones are bone conduction open-ear headphones designed for water sports and high‑motion workouts. They pair Bluetooth 6.1 for wireless listening on land and offer a built‑in 32GB MP3 storage for phone‑free underwater use. The IP68 rating means the device is built to withstand immersion in fresh water, making them suitable for lap swimming, surfing and vigorous sessions where moisture is a constant companion.
How it works
The design uses bone conduction to transmit sound through the cheekbones, keeping the ears open to ambient noise for safety during outdoor activities. When you’re swimming or exercising intensely, you can switch from Bluetooth streaming to MP3 mode so audio continues even where the signal drops underwater.
Who it’s for
If you regularly swim, run, cycle or train in environments where you don’t want to carry a phone at all times, this device aims to offer a practical, hands‑free audio option. It’s particularly appealing to those who prioritise safety and situational awareness because the open‑ear design leaves the ears free to hear surroundings.
What stands out
On the paper, the standout features are the IP68 waterproofing, dual Bluetooth/MP3 functionality, and a substantial 32GB onboard storage that supports thousands of tracks. The lightweight titanium frame with an adjustable strap is designed to stay put during high‑intensity moves, and the claim of up to 8 hours of battery life supports longer training days.
Where it may fall short
No product is perfect for every scenario. While the open‑ear approach enhances situational awareness, some users may prefer in‑ear isolation for pool acoustics or deeper bass from traditional headphones. Also, the underwater listening experience relies on MP3 mode because Bluetooth does not transmit through water, so you’ll need to pre‑load audio. A remaining question is how comfortable the fit stays across different face shapes during marathon sessions, as comfort is highly individual.
How to decide before you buy
- If your workouts include swimming and you want to avoid carrying a phone, this model’s 32GB MP3 storage and underwater playback are compelling.
- If you mainly train on land and value deep bass, you might find the bone conduction sound less robust than over‑ear options.
- Check that the open‑ear fit suits your ear canal comfort and nose/breath control during breathing techniques in strokes.
Practical use case
Imagine finishing a lap and glancing at the clock while your open ears hear lane mates and ambient pool cues. You switch to MP3 mode for the next length, enjoying music underwater without losing awareness when you surface—handy for intervals and drills.
Tech at a glance
- Waterproof rating: IP68, suitable for submersion in fresh water (as described) for swimming and workouts.

Decision: Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you value underwater listening with phone‑free playback and open‑ear safety for water and outdoor activities. It makes sense if your routine mixes swimming with land workouts and you want a single device for both. Not ideal if you crave deep bass isolation or a compact in‑ear form. If you prioritise a straightforward, all‑in‑one solution for wet environments, this model is a pragmatic option to test.
