H2O Audio TRI 2 Multisport Waterproof Bone Conduction Open Ear Headphones, Bluetooth 5.3 for Running and Cycling, MP3 Mode for Swimming, 8GB Memory, 8.5-Hour Battery, Black

Love these for swimming laps. I don't like to use them outside the pool because the sound will be pretty soft and trebly. They sound dramatically better when you're wearing earplugs, and even better when you're underwater. Battery live is solid. The only downside is that data transfer is pretty slow, and the controls are a bit awkward. For example, if you want to raise the volume, you press once. But if you press twice, you go to the next folder. So if you want to raise the volume twice, you have to wait a little bit between each press. It took me a while to figure out how to get my playlists playing in the same order. Check the manual, you need to use a certain naming convention for the tracks.

I tried the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, and these sound WAY better and play much louder. They sound a lot fuller than the Shokz, with airy highs, natural mids, no tinnyness, and surprising richness in the lows for Bone Conduction. Amd there is actually some bass with these! Be aware that Bone Conduction is never going to sound as good as in ear, on ear, or over ear headphones. But for what they are they are quite good, hence the 5 stars. They also fit with a little more clamping force to ensure good Bone conduction, which wasnt the case with the Shokz on my head. Plus, you get onboard music storage in addition to Bluetooth, and they are fully waterproof for swimming. The drawbacks are, slightly less comfortable and less unobtrusive than the Shokz, and you can really feel the low end physically pulsing into the side of your head, and there is a good but of tickling sensation from the sound vibrations. I didnt have that with the Shokz, but that's obviously the tradeoff for having more volume and more bass. If you might be bothered by the tickling and pulsing sensation, and sound quality is less important to you, then you might prefer the Shokz.

This headset works exactly as described. Great sound while swimming laps, but sound does improve with provided earplugs. It works so well that I actually had to buy a second one for my wife to swim with, too. The bluetooth connection allows it to function as an external headset for my iPhone, and that seems to also work well. I've used it for five swims without having to charge yet, so battery appears to holding a good charge. Easy to change the volume, and comfortable to wear.

I purchased one of this product earlier this year through Amazon. Unfortunately, the device has not worked properly since it arrived. I have followed all the steps in the user manual, but the following issues persist: 1. The left earbud does not produce any sound. 2. The volume remains very low and cannot be increased. 3. The device does not connect to your mobile app. It keeps indicating that Bluetooth is turned off, even though it is on. I feel disappointed, as I practice triathlon and was really looking forward to using this product during my training sessions.

I paid extra for these because they were the only ones that supported M4A format. Not particularly tech savvy and I struggled with the other one I bought trying to convert to MP3. Sound quality is good but not great, but good enough to make my swim much more enjoyable. Battery life is about 5ish hours.

One of the earpieces vibrates all the time, which results in a tickling sensation. Also, when it is windy I struggle to hear from these headphones given the open ear design. Not what I had expected.

The bone conduction headphones are great for those who don't want - or need - over the ear phones. As a 60-something gym rat with decreased hearing, I found it hard to get traditional "head phones" (I've tried them all) loud enough - which wasn't helping my already limited hearing. Bone conduction "headphones" use a different approach all together and have the added benefit of being waterproof. Simple to use, and easily adjusted, these open earphones are great!

For context, I tried almost every brand of bone conduction headphones on this site. Keep in mind that bone conduction headphones will never have the quality that a good over-the-ear headphone or even in-ear earbud can provide. Summary: Best audio quality, for a high price Sound quality: excellent for bone conduction, rich and warm and full. Can feel buzzy at loud volume. Comfort: not quite as comfortable as shokz, but not bad Battery: good - never tested to exhaustion. Call quality: good Overall quality: very good Controls: always started in mp3 mode, couldn't figure out how to change that and it was kind of annoying Bluetooth: easy to pair to multiple devices, performs well Other: came with the best case

It is faulty Keeps switching off after starting even when advised battery is high Brand new and it’s done this every use

I am new to bone conduction headphones. This is my first set. Arrived early. Nicely packaged. Surprisingly beautiful sound for something that sits outside the ears. Adding tracks to the built-in drive was fairly simple. I have yet to use this for swimming. Overall, I'm happy with the H2O MULTI-SPORT TRI 2

It is my Second pair and they are amazing. I use them in the Spa, In the Pool and even in the Ocean (By Internal Memory) I use them when working outside or even at a customer site (By Bluetooth) Great sound quality !!!

Much, much louder than the other well known brand, i like the weight because it helps the headphone stay on, they feel snug and secure on my head, also like the silicone band they supply as this makes the fit perfect. Wish they had supplied more than one. Now to the one annoying thing, they turn off incredibly quickly when using Bluetooth and you have paused the track, wish they allowed you to disconnect or at least a longer time before completely turning headphones off. The voice is annoying and I wish the setting went to Bluetooth first instead of playing from memory. All in all a good buy and I would repurchase

It was good until 6 months later the magnetic charging unit broke, tried everything as advised. Nothing worked , very disappointed, will now have to start all over again.
