There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These come with a myriad of different shapes and size buds, extension cord and very nicely packaged.
Overall I'm extremely satisfied with these - I think the money is well spent.
My only suggestion is to make the headband adjustable, as it is larger than my head and does flop around. However, as I wear a swim cap over it, it is typically not an issue.
These headphones are comfortable, do not move during my USMS practices, and provide excellent sound quality.
Good n bad
1) These are the first pair of underwater headphones I've used that stay sealed in my ear for the most part. The other pair of underwater audio ones I've had often had issues with my right earbud falling out or unsealing. This is probably the fault of my ear as other headphones do this, too. On these headphones, the plastic arch pushes the buds into my ears. I don't wear a cap, so this has been incredibly helpful. However, if you DO wear a cap, it might be too much pressure. Your milage may vary.
2) The sound is good. However, due to the better seal, they tend to be too loud when my head is out of the water.
3) You know that sound you get with earbuds when the cord rubs against your clothes? That's not the issue here. However, the plastic seems to amplify the water sound when you're swimming. You especially notice this if one of the earbuds fails to seal correctly. This could also be why I have to turn up the volume.
4). I occasionally seem to touch the plastic with my shoulders when swimming. This doesn't affect anything, just an observation.
5) It works best with the plastic lower on the neck.
6) Just like the other headphones, the water pressure of flip turns will occasionally knock out the sound until you get closer to the surface.
7) It still takes me awhile to get a good seal, but once I get it, it usually stays for the duration of my swim.
8) Sometimes the plastic hurts my ears a bit, but it's worth it for the music all swim.
Overall, I like these way better than the other, slightly less expensive pair due to the seal I get and that fact it stays put in my ears once I get the seal to work. Are they perfect? No. But they have been the best pair of swim headphones for me. If you wear a cap, it might be a better bet to use the less expensive ones.

TRES MAUVAIS QUALITÉ DE SON.
J'AI DU REVENIR SUR LES ECOUTEURS DE BASE (MEME FABRIQUANT!) QUI ONT ETE FOURNIS AVEC MON IPOD ACQUATIQUE....
J'AI PRIS TROP DE TEMPS POUR FAIRE LE RETOUR, ET MAINTENANT C'EST FOUTU
Rimangono ben inseriti e non entra acqua durante le virate.
Qualità del suono un po’ Metallica, ma per l’uso che se ne fa è più che accettabile.
Ho ordinato subito anche degli auricolari di riserva.
