Recommend me water-proof headphones.

bmwmthree · 01-19-2011, 01:48 AM

UPDATE: In case anyone cares, I just used the headphones today...fucking awesome!!

The ones I ordered were ~$15 shipped and the sound quality was really good for the price (obviously not insane quality but, as someone who uses iPhone headphones everyday and likes those, these headphones were equally good). I had to adjust them a few times during 1 hour of swimming/excercising in the pool but that's probably because it's my first time using them. The hook thing around the hear also helps hold them in place. I felt like one of the headphones would start to come loose when I would dive under ~5ft but that might also be because I didn't have the headphones in place that well. Now I just need a waterproof case for my mp3 player (3 ziploc bags tie with rubberbands isn't that good

).

These are the headphones:

OP: I want headphones for when I swim in the morning. Looking to spend ~$15-$30.

Also, any info/experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

^^ Hahaha
Op do you currently have a water proof ipod or something? I can't see myself swimming with some electrical shit in the water. I'm even a bitch to turn on the pool lights at night!

ryan970 · 01-19-2011, 02:02 AM

well you cant get any average sounding headphones for 15 but klipsch make weather proof headphones for 130

I'm suprised at how worried people are about using the mp3 player underwater. I don't even think it produces enough electricity to be dangerous...?

Idk man, I'm very careless, but don't think I would jump in the water with something electrical attached to my head. The only electrical thing I jump in the water with is my watch.

Maybe some swimmers who have experience with these headsets can chime in for you.

These are water-proof headphones and a water-proof case for my mp3 player. Nothing to worry about!

I bought one of those water proof bags to put my iphone in and it has the headphone connector attached for waterproof headphones. The headphones were pretty rubbish to be fair, so I'd be interested to see what others think.

NYCGP · 01-19-2011, 08:18 AM

My friend got his from a local surf shop. I wouldn't be worried about electrocution. I would be more worried about damaging an expensive piece of electronics.

Buegie · 01-19-2011, 09:24 AM

ipod doesn't produce anywhere near enough current to be dangerous

Walking the dog? ....Well, that's a different story because they do not talk back and you can not have a meaningful conversation. So, screw the pooch... Put some jam on
