ZOVIMAX bone conduction headphones, IPX8
Product description
If you want music while you swim, run, or train in the water, ZOVIMAX bone conduction headphones offer a practical way to stay entertained without relying on a phone in your hand. With both Bluetooth audio and a built-in MP3 mode, you can switch modes when you need to, so you are covered whether you are on land or underwater. Designed around open ear comfort, the setup helps you keep situational awareness while still enjoying a beat that keeps you moving. 🎧 🏊
Key features
These bone conduction swimming headphones from ZOVIMAX are built for active use, including sessions where you might prefer not to take your mobile with you. You can listen via Bluetooth 6.0 for a stable, low latency experience when you are on land, then move across to MP3 playback when you are in the water. The changeover is simple, with a double click to swap between Bluetooth and MP3 modes. 🏃
The open ear, bone conduction style is a key part of the comfort and usability. Instead of sealing the ear canal, it uses open ear placement so you can remain aware of what is around you while listening. Soft silicone pads are designed to sit comfortably on the ear, and the open design supports airflow which can help during longer sessions. There is also an adjustable strap included, so you can secure the fit across different head sizes.
The waterproof design is rated IPX8, supporting full immersion and use in water up to 5 metres deep for up to 2.5 hours, according to the product information. That makes the headphones well suited to swimming, diving, and water based training where splashes and submersion are part of the routine. It is worth noting that MP3 is the mode you should use under the water, as Bluetooth is not able to operate in water.

What you’ll notice day to day
Sound and clarity are supported by dynamic drivers, described as 14.2 mm improved drivers for rich bass, clear treble, and HD stereo surround style audio. In practical terms, that means your training playlist and podcasts can stay energetic during exercise, even when your routine involves movement and changing conditions. There is also an improved call system intended to capture your voice clearly, with noise free conversations described by the manufacturer.
Battery life and charging are designed around consistent training. The headphones are described as offering up to 12 hours of music playback, and the charging time is stated as around 2 hours using fast magnetic charging. If you are planning longer days that mix work outs with travel or errands, the charging approach makes it easier to top up without complicated steps. For downloads, the USB style process is simple, with a magnetic charging cable used to connect to a computer and access the built in memory.
Storage is a major convenience point here because the MP3 mode lets you listen without a phone. The product information states that MP3 playback can support up to 8,000 songs stored internally, though results will depend on your music files. You can copy songs from your computer to the headphones and then press play while you swim. If you prioritise water sessions, the MP3 workflow is the key advantage, and it keeps your routine smooth when you cannot use Bluetooth in the water.
It’s a good fit if you want open ear bone conduction audio for running and fitness, while still needing a waterproof option for swimming. It may not suit you if you specifically need Bluetooth to work while fully submerged, since the instructions point to using MP3 under water instead.
