Swimbuds Sport

[this is a revised review] This is a great product with good sound and good comfort. This pair is my 4th pair of waterproof headphones. regardless of the brand, the life expectancy is usually max 3 years while the most fragile part is the buds. With these, I had little malfunction problem on the cord, but the customer support reacted quickly even though my warranty was expired. Can only recommend, will buy again.

Simply the best underwater headphone ever. I tried quite a few in the past, and if you're serious about your underwater listening needs, then these are the ones! I use them to listen to podcasts while swimming and i can clearly hear every word. They are quite expensive, but you get what you pay for!

these swim buds are virtually unusable. They are so large that they make my swimming cap stick out and are painful against my ears. All the plastic attachments don't work--they are like torture devices. Water just pours into your ears. I am going to try to return them even though I have used them.

Awesome product so far. I have had them for a few weeks now and they are performing very well. They have ever type of earbud in different sizes in the pack. The sound is good and as I swim around 5 times a week they are going to be put through their paces so time will tell if they are up to it, good start though.

First thing first : They work just fine under water But, do not have big expectations on sound, is ok but nothing out of this world, you will be in the water after all. I bought these exclusively for swim sesion in my pool ( 5ft deep) and : Do not expect these to last more than 6 months, i bought these on 14 feb, and today one of them stopped working to my big annoyance and frustrations, in the middle of a swim ( pool ) . You have an entire box full of accessories to chose from, in terms of earbuds, so no worries, u are covered. but in case they stop working ( and they will believe me, ) prepare another 65 pounds, cause u will need them so this is the biggest complain, far to expensive, for such a short ammount of time, to be worn and stop functioning.

These are great. I never look forward to length swimming, but these pass the time and make it bearable. I tried SWIMp3 bone transducers style but the volume control was poor and didn't like the phasing effect I encountered whenever my face partially titled or lifted out of the water during strokes. The use of an ipod shuffle is inspired and I find that plugging into the Apple eco system is asier and friendlier than using proprietary mp3 interfaces or running Windows media player libraries. One tip I'd like to share is running the cables through then adjustment hoops on your goggles. Without doing this I found that I was inadvertently tugging on the earpieces, and in one set the cable got so fatigued it internally broke and no longer powered the bud. Underwater Audio replaced the set without any fuss. At the time I thought this was a weakness in the construction of the buds, but since changing my method I haven't had any problems, so I'm willing to give 5 stars. By the way, some people balk at listenting to music while swimming and think it isn't natural or that you should be in tune with your muscles and your breathing. I agree with this to an extent, particularly for beginners, and I used to take the pure Zen like approach. Now, since I've upped my lengths to about 100 per session, I'm happy to do anything to break the unrelenting, induce-me-into-a-coma monotony.

These are brilliant. After two attempts with another brand that uses the conductive technology a work friend lent me his waterproof iPod and I was sold and ordered mine as soon as I got back from the swimming pool! It's worked without a hiccup (except when I forgot to turn it off!) and the headphones are very good and with so much choice I found a comfortable fit easily. The quality is also better than the other brand/style I tried.

I have had these waterproof headphones before, and it varies how long they last, before one of the ears goes. And this pair has only lasted just about a month, and already one of the ears, has started to crackle , and the sound comes and goes. not good for an expensive headset. I swim 4 times a week, and dry each ear piece after every single swim. I am very very careful with them, to try and keep them in good condition, but this time has not helped at all. No idea how to get in touch with the company, to see if I can get a replacement, but watch this space and will let you know how I get on. Very very dissapointed.
