  • A very realistic review of a pretty amazing product!
I decided to try a different size of ear bud "trees" (the thing that sticks in your ear and seals out the water) and after switching from the large to medium, I was able to swim nonstop for 50 minutes without having to adjust at all! It really was amazing how they worked so well - even without a swim cap. Great sound! Works perfectly! Easily merits a 5 -star review! Original review >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The good news: + The Ipod and the buds really are waterproof! No problems at all after 7 sessions so far. + Once you get the right fit, the sound is clear, the seal is tight and you can actually listen to music while swimming! + It's especially awesome for kick drills when your head is mostly above water. + The earbuds are rugged and sturdy and more waterproof that I expected. Even after I accidentally completely submerged the earbuds (not in my ears) they worked just fine. + Overall, this is a pretty amazing! The not-so-good: - I usually spend the first 10 minutes of each swim session experimenting with the earbud fit, placing and replacing the bud in my ear until I get the right seal. - It's only occasionally that I completely forget about the earbuds and get into the "zone" and just swim. Almost the whole time, I am conscious of the buds, wondering if they will slip out, hearing the sound muffle because the buds shifted. I can usually swim for about 2 songs before a bud loosens and I have to stop for a minute and re-position it or maybe dry it off on a towel. - The iPod controls are very stiff from the waterproofing so you have to push fairly hard when you adjust the volume or switch songs. - There were very few instructions in the box; I watched a youtube video to learn how to place the earbuds properly (pull your ear up, put the bud in at a 45 degree angle). Despite the negatives, I still give this 4 stars, because it is pretty darn amazing to be able to listen to music at all while I swim! It's like a dream come true! Plus, it would be impossible to find a product that fits everyone's ears perfectly, but this comes pretty close and I find that when I breathe through my mouth, my jaw makes my ears move a little so it is natural that the bud would shift; can't fault the product for that. I really think this is the best product you are going to find for music while you swim. I am going to try and swim with a swim cap... I suspect that will keep everything more stable so I can hopefully completely get in the zone and just enjoy the music while swimming. Despite the caveats listed above, this product works well! Its exciting to finally be able to listen to music while I swim! ... show more

  • Where have you been all my life?
I can't believe I have been swimming for 8 years with horrible sound. I purchased the original SwiMP3 in 2007 and it was adequate. You could hear the music but it was muffled and tinny, but it did help elevate the boredom of hour long straight swims while training for triathlons. This year it died on me. Since I had bought mine in 2007, naturally Finnis had gone to a newer version. The newest version had horrible reviews so I went with a Diver under water MP3 for $50 Player that came with headphones so I thought I would give them a try. The sound was so much better than my SwiMP3 but there was one huge issue. It kept falling out of my ears while swimming and once water got in that ear was done. So, I bought a silicone cap that would cover my ears. That allowed me to make it half way though a swim. I am glad that when you screen "F**K" underwater nobody can hear because that's how frustrated I was getting. Next. I then bough some self molding ear plugs and watched a video on YouTube on how to wrap them around so they wont fall out. That was a waste of time and $10. So..I started looking for better headphones with good reviews and I came across these. I saw all of the different attachments and thought one of these may work. I was not holding my breath(pun intended) because I was convinced that there was no such thing as a good set of headphones for the water by this point. I was soooo wrong. They are pricey but worth every penny. Its the material they are made from that makes them superior. Its soft and contours as you insert them into your ear . There are so many different attachments that one is going to fit for everyone. You could listen to a podcast with these or a book. The sound quality is good and clear and music sounds great. And best of all they don't fall out of my ears EVER. The only real issue I found was instructions. That sounds funny because they are earphones. "Put them in your ears and listen to music...Instructions Done." But, some of the attachments I could not figure out how they go in your ear. Do they work together? These would be a great product for an instructional video. I highly recommend these to anyone who struggles in the water with bad headphones. They work great with my cheap Underwater MP3 Player too. ... show more

  • Unmatched quality product, fantastic customer service
A relevant preamble: I started swimming with an MP3 player about 1.5 years ago, and for the first few months of irregular use I was pretty happy with the headphones that came with my waterproofed iPod shuffle (which has been flawlessly reliable this whole time, fwiw). However, once I started living in a place where I could swim 5-6 days a week, they very rapidly stopped working unless I spent several minutes compressing the water out of them before I swam, and they were positioned *just so* in my ears while swimming, which meant a ton of stopping and adjusting. They finally completely gave up the ghost, but I wasn't ready yet to spend a big chunk of money on workout headphones, so I tried about 3 different brands of under-$40 waterproof headphones - all of which ran into the same problem of working irregularly within 2 weeks of 5-6 days a week use. I finally capitulated and shelled out the money for these headphones about 4.5 months ago, and I could not be happier. They've worked perfectly, no glitches in sound quality or finicky need to do air compressions on the speakers, etc., etc. I did have to do some trial and error to find just the right earbud covers, and so was a little worried before I found the right size/shape because they don't work if they fall out of your ears (even if they don't come fully loose - I wear a swim cap that usually keeps that from happening - you get silence from all waterproof headphones when they're not fully set in your ears). But they come with tons of different styles and sizes, so rest assured, you'll find the right ones if you keep trying. Of course, latex degrades eventually (especially in the tropical climate where I live - and yes, I'm lazy and store my gear outside for easy access), and I decided it was time to get more of the ergo style earbud covers so I could go back to wearing my exact preferred size. Unfortunately, I found that while you can buy the other styles individually, ergo is only available in the variety pack. But this is where the 5 star review really comes in - I contacted the company directly, and they got back to me right away offering to just invoice me the cost of the ergos (same low cost as the other single-type packs) and ship them to me right away, apologizing for not having an ergo-only package already available. Within an hour my ergos were paid for and shipped! This kind of quality and customer service more then pays for itself. If you swim regularly, these headphones are undoubtedly worth the little extra cost. ... show more

  • Not Bad
I'm in my 50's and took up swimming about a year ago, which I now love. I swim freestyle about 2600 m 3-4 times per week at a moderate pace. I do other activities on the days on I don't swim. I'm using a waterproof iPod shuffle clipped to my goggles. These headphones are on the expensive side for what they actually do, but must say they sound the best of the ones I've tried. I've had them for about three weeks. I'm still struggling a little to get the right fit in each ear. Some days I get a better seal than others. Sometimes in the beginning of my swim I slightly pause to adjust because water gets in and I lose sound in one or both buds. Sometimes I'm good for most of my swim and have to adjust one or both. I think there is only so much that can be done with aqua audio, so the sound isn't going to be awesome, just good. These headphones sound good when the fit is right, which can be unpredictable. The company supplies a lot of attachments so I recommend experimenting with ones that will fit your ear. This is going to be an individual thing. I listen to mostly rock from Led Zep, The Who, Iggy Pop, Bowie, Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Oasis, 80's, The Pixies, Nirvana, The Cars, The Darkness and the Ramones to name just a few on tons of music I have. So my reference point is from that mix of sounds. I'll also throw in some easy listening from my era now and then. I'm in the water about an hour give or take. So far I've not had an adjust free swim with these buds. Having said all this, I can't say other waterproof headphones are any better. They all have the same issues, but not the same quality of sound. These are significantly better so you get what you pay for here. ... show more

  • Stupid expensive. Worth it.
These things are stupid expensive for in ear wired headphones. I grumbled loudly when I ordered them, but I was desperate for some decent headphone to go with my Delphin 2. Audio books are the only way to get through my one hour a day swim without going crazy. I had tried some cheaper pairs of headphone, but the volume just wasn't where I needed it to be, and I frequently had to adjust them. These stupid expensive headphone? Wonderful. They fit my ears like a glove, are super comfortable for the hour a day I use them, and have rich, full volume. I never have to touch them once they're in my ear. Time will tell how they hold up. But if they last a couple of years, I will happily pay to get another set. ... show more

  • So far so good.
These have decent sound quality and are comparable to H2Oaudio buds. I do have some issue with water leakage into my ears which I'm trying to figure out. The only issue I have is the picture shows a straight connector on the sport earbuds and an L plug on the Flip headphones. The Sport earbuds I received have an L shaped connector which does not fit my player without me having to remove a water seal on the player. I'm going to have a shorter life on my player due to water intrusion. ... show more

  • Perfect for frequent lap swimmers
I've been using this headphone model for over 2 years now. I swim every day [except for major holiday pool closures] and average 30 miles per week [more product info at google: andy swims!]. They come with a wide selection of tips, to ensure a comfortable fit -- although I use only the "christmas tree" style soft silicone ones. No problem keeping comfort and a good seal for 7500 yards [300 laps]. Sound quality is fine; I listen to everything from podcasts to Jazz/Classical etc. When I workout on the gym floor/machines, I've used them with my waterproofed ipod shuffle, as a backup for my Apple earpods, using the extension wire provided. Important note: the FIT GOO that is included with the headphones [and sold separately at Amazon] is most helpful in creating/maintaining a good seal. It just takes a tiny amount of the fit goo, and this ensures a continuous good fit/seal -- and avoids having to reseal or make adjustments. Life expectancy for the headphones has been typically about 1200 miles; then the wires begin to stiffen. I'm going to contact the vendor re the stiffening, to see if that is considered wear and tear or covered by warranty. Another important note: ALWAYS thoroughly rinse your swim gear after every swim; it definitely extends product life for headphones, mp3 players/iPods, goggles, snorkels etc! In short, highly recommended! Swimming is a huge part of my life; it helps kill my cancer cells, so reliable products are a mainstay in my swimming. See above google reference for more info on swimming/cancer and why aerobic exercise is so important. I'll post an update after I check in with the mfg re the wires. ... show more

  • Big, Bulky, Expensive, and HORRIBLE
I've purchased multiple sets of the standard Swimbuds in the past. While I liked them, they typically only lasted about two to three months before crapping out (hence why the warranty is so short I guess). I was excited to purchase a pair of the "new and improved" Swimbud "Sports." The company claims they are superior but I couldn't be more disappointed. First off, these things are huge (reference the pictures). They are big and bulky. No matter what ear tip you select, there is always going to be a giant "bulb" sticking out of your ear. That big bulky bulb gets in the way of pretty much any sport you can think of. While swimming, my arm frequently makes contact with the bulb, breaking the seal and allowing water into my ear and losing audio. Crossfit... don't think so, again these things get in the way. Running... don't try to wipe the sweat from your face with your arm, you'll either knock the earbud out or accidently jam it too far into your ear where it hurts. Ouch! Sports... no freaking way. These big bulky things jumble around so much while working out they are straight up annoying. Back to swimming though. Even when you can get a good seal with these things, they crap out during flip turns. They are more of an annoyance than anything as one ear will go out and you'll have to jostle the wire for them to kick back on. The only good thing about this purchase is the little zipper case that came with it. I'd go with H2O Audio instead, better product and better warranty. ... show more
