Bigvapor Bone Conduction Swimming Headphones Swim MP3 Players Bluetooth 5.0 wireless Headphones IPX8 waterproof Wireless Sport Headset with 8G memory (Black Red)

OK, this is interesting, good sound but some VERY serious drawbacks.Here is a very mixed review.I bought these for swimming, so I will split my review into two parts.For non swimming, they are pretty good since most users will be using bluetooth to connect.They connect to my phone or watch easily and are simple to use.The sound quality is better than most bone induction headphones, although those around you can hear more noise than usual.For swimming, it's a different matter.The sound quality is also fine, actually its even better when your head is below the water.If you are a fast swimmer, you will need to tuck the band behind your goggles to stop them coming off.Also, positioning them right over your ear seems to work best.Not a major issue, just worth mentioning.Now, you cant use bluetooth to you phone or watch when you swim, it just doesn't work.So, you need the mp3 mode.To do this you need mp3 files of all your music, which can be a pain if you usually use streamed music.This problem is likely to be common across most mp3 headphones, so it's not unique.Once you have the mp3 files, you just copy them over, treating the headphones like a usb stick.Now, the two main problems for swimming.Firstly, the usb port doesn't look very watertight. Its flimsy and jus doesn't look like it will last,I put some waterproof tape around it 'to be safe'.On the first two mile swims, all seemed fine and I was swimming pretty fast.Not an ideal solution, but this is a budget solution.Secondly (and this is the big one), it doesn't have shuffle mode.I downloaded 350 songs on my exercise playlist to it, which is about 25 hours of music.When I cycle (off road), its on shuffle from my iWatch, so i don't hear the same song for over a week.With these headphones, each time you power it on and off, it starts from the beginning of the play list.Effectively, this means that you are listening to the same 20-50 songs each time you go swimming.NOT GOOD !!!I have tried to be balanced with my review, since my own needs are quite specific and the two key features for swimming (waterproof usb port and shuffle mode) are really important.I think I will try to return them or possibly give them to one of my children and then get a different pair for swimming.

I’m not going to ramble on as most of the points have been covered in other reviews. I only have a couple of points I’d like to make.First point is they’re not the prettiest of headphone and there are prettier headphones out there, but as an all rounder they’re excellent, as of writing during the lockdown I’ve not been able to test the swimming function.The next point about the shuffle function, I just want to set the record straight, it is true there is no shuffle function. That being said the music I have on the MP3 player is a compilation so the “shuffle” is not that important. What is important is that when I switch of the headphones and switch them back on it starts the playback at the beginning of the “last track played” and continues the play list and does NOT start at the beginning of the playlist.All in all for the cost in comparison to the other headsets these are excellent for the functionality and price. If I remember I’ll try and update this when I get the opportunity to use while swimming.Thank for reading

I received my headphones and I am really impressed. I don't like plugs inside the ears as all of them hurt my ears. The sound is really good and it was easy to use. Saying that I bought those for swimming as I swim an hour everyday and I get bored. I thought music would help me during my swimming. I can't wait to try them in the pool. I am terrified in case it's not what it says on the tin, so I really hope they will be good for that. If that is the case I will update my review and give it 5 stars and recommend it to all my friends. My only thing is that the greeting is in Chinese. Please update to English. Thanks

When they worked they were great. I used them for walking in the road and felt safer than having in ear headphones. You lose a little quality but being able to hear traffic come your weigh far outweighs this issue. Unfortunately I then tried them in the pool for less than 5 mins and they no longer charge or work. I guess I will live and learn.

Easy to use, good quality sound and the mp3 player is built in. Good battery and its rechargeable. Really can't complain, love the fact it can work independently and you don't need to rely on another device for music.

very waterproof and work well but I bought it for use in hot tub and its too quite to a have a phone call with the bubbles going off and water pump on

It works perfectly well for me. It was easy to connect to my phone or macbook. I mainly use it while I am running, because I have to cross roads sometimes and I would like to hear the oncoming traffic. It serves me well for that purpose.

After trialling 2 previous mp3 players for swimming these are my favourites. They seem really loud, which is good for me. I'm just worried everyone else at the pool can hear my music. They assure they can't, but they are really clear and simple to use.
