What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives conflicting weights: the details specify 30 Grams while a feature claim says 26g. It also lists 8 hours of playback but does not state the claimed charge time consistently as a specification. The supplied details list only a user manual, while the description claims a cable, headband and earplugs too. Check the selected listing for the exact weight, battery conditions and included items.

Customer feedback highlights clear sound, secure fit, comfort, quick Bluetooth pairing and good battery life, with some reports that earplugs improve audio. These are customer perceptions rather than guarantees. The reported fit and comfort may matter for swimming and workouts, while the need to switch to MP3 mode underwater remains a practical limitation. Aggregate ratings are mostly five-star but include a noticeable lower-star share, so experiences are not uniformly positive.
Positive themes
- Customers report clear sound and say the earplugs improve audio.
- Customers describe the fit as secure and the headphones as comfortable.
- Feedback also praises Bluetooth pairing, battery life and use in and out of water.
