Product Information

The Android operating system is a bit outdated compared to modern devices, but will nevertheless still work great for swimming. Another benefit to the longer wires is the fact that you can use your phone with these while swimming. After that, it’s up to manufacturers to detail exactly how waterproof the product is, so you’ll see the same rating applied to headphones that can be used at different depths for different lengths of time. Clear as mud, right? If you see an 8 at the end of the rating, you can be pretty sure they’re designed for swimming, but you’ll need to dig deeper if you need more detail. Do you want an MP3 player built in to the headphones? The Walkmen swimming headphones come with four size options of both regular and swimming earbuds so you can switch out according to your activity and ear size. There’s no case, but it does come in a choice of colors.

On the other hand, over-ear and on-ear headphones are too bulky, which can obstruct your movements, rendering them impractical to be worn while swimming. You’ll also receive a nice silicone storage case for your headphones to keep them in when they are not in use.As far as sound quality goes, these are open-ear headphones, so they aren’t as crystal clear as in-ear models, but the sound is still pretty solid. X3’s impressive, built-in 16 GB audio storage (equivalent to about 5K songs) even dwarfs our best overall selection, and allows for Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity to your phone or other streaming device, too–but the tradeoff is a weaker battery life, unfortunately. And this set doesn’t come with a case, either. Sure, it offers less storage than some players, but 4 GB of storage (roughly 1,000 songs) is still plenty of uninterrupted play to get you through hours of swimming, running, biking, and more. It sounds excellent and even has an ambient sound mode to hear traffic, lifeguards, and other environmental sounds. One of the best features of these headphones is their 12-hour battery life and rapid charging cradle, which can get you a full hour of juice in about three minutes.

Extremely waterproof and coming with a range of earbuds, these headphones are also a top choice. The range of earbuds makes them suitable for different types of watersports including kayaking and windsurfing, while the wrap around design means you won’t get tangled up mid lap. For swimmers who wear earplugs when swimming (like I do, as mentioned earlier), bone-conduction is a no-brainer. Nevertheless, wired headphones can still be very convenient to use. They easily clip onto your swimming goggles, have easy-to-use controls, and are reliable.If you want to stream music using your phone’s Bluetooth, you’ll need a signal converter. For swimming headphones, only one device offers this: the Zygo Solo headphones. Most swimming headphones connect to an external MP3 player strapped to your goggles or a built-in MP3 player within the device itself.
