- OpenSwim Pro - Open-Ear Bluetooth & MP3 Bone Conduction Sport Headphones, Swimming Headphones, IP68 Waterproof, Grey

I read all of the reviews, including the 1-star reviews. I was a little nervous purchasing these headphones. I bought them for when I was swimming laps in an indoor pool, since doing it in silence was very boring. I personally love these headphones. The Bluetooth will not work when the headphones are underwater, but I am married to a tech nerd, and he informed me I can legally use a website to make YouTube videos into an MP3 file by copying the URL over and downloading them to my PC then adding them to the headphones. I use these while swimming in MP3 mode the Bluetooth works great outside of the water, and I am very aware of my surroundings even when playing music at full volume. When wearing a swim cap. I find the headphones comfortable, I just leave my ears out because I don't want my hair to get wet, but this is not an issue because Shockz has provides ear plugs, and I wear them when I swim. I like the fit of these headphones, and there is a little extra room behind my head, which is good for me because it makes them extremely easy to wear. The headphones feel very durable and good quality, along with the sound quality being don't expect them to be noise canceling, but the sound quality is good for what they are.

These HOKZ OpenSwim Pro headphones are perfect for swimming. They stay on really well over a swim cap and feel secure during laps. I love that you can load music as MP3s directly, which works flawlessly. The Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater, but that’s true for all headphones, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Sound quality is clear, and the open-ear design means you can still hear your surroundings safely. Pros: Stays on securely over a swim cap Easy to add MP3s Comfortable open-ear fit Good sound underwater Cons: Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater (standard for all headphones) Overall, these are reliable, easy-to-use headphones for swimmers who want music without bulky in-ear buds.

I just started getting back into swimming. I had the Swimp3 players 15 years ago that made swimming a lot less dull and was looking for whatever the new version of that was. These are better for a host of reasons. First, they stay in place pretty darn well. My old mp3 player was bulky on the side of my goggle strap, and if I did butterfly, they would fling around and I had to stop to fix them. These stay put just fine, even when I jumped in the water from the pool deck. It does feel a little weird to put these on and then to put my cap over the ear part (I can't have my ears out of my cap entirely or it would pop off and/or drive me nuts), but I sort of got used to it. There were some times that I had to tug down the sides of my cap over my ears because it was riding up, but that may have been unrelated to this device. The back of the neck portion stayed outside my cap the whole time and if it moved around at all, I didn't notice it. These are also plenty loud. I had to click them down a few notches from the max volume to be a comfy listening volume. I didn't use the earplugs, but had no problem hearing them clearly, whether or not my head was underwater. With my old mp3 player, I could hear them somewhat even when they weren't on my face. I could tell that some other people could hear it somewhat, too, since I got some funny looks when my music started playing. But with these Shokz, it didn't seem like anyone else could hear them. It is annoying to me that there isn't more playlist control (song order, etc.) and that there's no way to transmit tunes via bluetooth from my phone directly to the device. But I will say that the magnetic USB charging/data cable is pretty slick. It clicked on so easily that I didn't even think it was really plugged in until I saw the light and it auto-opened the file window on my computer. One thing I was really happy about is that it can play M4A files, no problem. I was worried that I'd have to do some lame mp3 conversion to get them to play, but I didn't. I just made a playlist in iTunes (all individually purchased music) and copy/pasted into the file window for the Shokz. Room for improvement in future models? Sure. But for now, this is a HUGE upgrade over my 15-year-old version and it works well enough for me to be very happy with them.

Bought this for swimming laps and it is a game changer . Pleasantly surprised Good quality sound in the water , but also use around the house, garden--dog walks etc. Excellent for phone calls as well. I like that is doesn't block your ears, you can quickly pause and carry on a conversation without pulling plugs out of your ears. A little quirky with the MP3 setup, but makes sense because bluetooth does not work in water. Bluetooth works great otherwise. High quality construction--would buy again.

The best swimming headphones I've tried comfortable functional durable and well-crafted

Exceltw producto cumple con las expectativos, por el precio y su operación

I bought this item after much hesitation because I did not believe it would work in the swimming pool. I was surprised by the quality of these headphones, whether in water or outside. It is very easy to use and can hold many of my songs, plus it has Bluetooth functionality when I am not swimming. I am really enjoying these headphones and happy I ended up with them.

Perfect for a regular swimming sessions. I can easily talk to my friends or family while swimming. Or listen to a podcast. If you just keep your face under water it’s okay to receive data from your phone via Bluetooth. When you try to dive, it looses the connection but it’s expected. One charge is enough for 3-4 hourly swimming sessions.

Work well, comfortable and strong fit, great sound and easy instructions to use. Vey happy
