Can anyone recommend some decent swimming headphones ?
What do you use?
Don’t necessarily need to be top end price wise but half decent
Aftershokz or shokz brand has an mp3 player called open swim much better than anything I used to use in ear. Sound is great and fully waterproof can also use without a phone. I don’t think swimming Bluetooth works too well.
Only issue is whether u have your own music or use Spotify etc.

I have the openswim and openrun pro and for the most part really like them both. The openrun are great and have no complaints.
The openswim have really good sound and are comfortable, my only complaint is they require downloading files. That wouldn’t have been an issue back I. The days of Napster and bit torrents but with everything streaming today it’s just not convenient. After 100s of hours of listening to the same music each swim is almost and mind numbing as no music. Admittedly that my own issue bc I’m too lazy and cheap to update the songs.
Last week I bought a replacement pair of open swim and of course 2 days after I got them I saw the H2O audio pair that Lionel posted on his IG. Their playlist+ was intriguing as it seemingly solves for the download issue by (if I understand correctly) recording a playlist like a mix tape on the internal memory. I’m curious if anyone has tried them and liked them and if that feauture works well. He has a discount on his IG that made them about the same price as the openswim were during last weeks prime sale. If I don’t hear any feedback I may say f it and get some to try.
I’ve done product testing on H2O audio and they work flawlessly. I’m not someone who swims with any headphones outside of testing.
The Playlist+ was interesting but it’s basically real time recording. Underwater Audio’s Delphin tablet is what we’re all more used to with Spotify playlist offline downloads but I didn’t like their earbuds. I’ve found the Shokz have been the best “for me.”
+3 on Openswim. Pricey, but the best option out there.
