Great for swimming - in ear headphones

Bought just over 4 years ago. Since then I've been using it every day in the pool. Today, unfortunately, the left ear no longer works. But after 4 years of daily use in the pool I'm very happy with how they passed the test and I'm buying another one. For Swimming: To be clear, for those wondering, Bluetooth doesn't work in water. The signal just doesn't get through the water. The antenna is in the right ear, somewhere on top of the ear when you wear it. If this place goes underwater you will lose signal and the audio will stop. However, as long as it's only a short time, you won't lose connection, and you'll hear the sound again as soon as you pull the spot out of the water again. The way I swim, that part of my hearing is mostly out of the water, so it works really well for me. Battery Life: When I first got this, the battery lasted me 2-3 weeks. I swim about 35 minutes a day, 5 days a week and use them about 40 minutes each of those days. After 4 years I have to charge it every week and it's still great. Also, they start beeping to warn you in time when the battery is running out. I've found that the early low battery indicators give me enough time to swim at least once before needing to charge it, which works great. I definitely recommend them. By far the best I've found can survive a swim.

Pros
  • Useful for more than it's intended purpose
Cons
  • Neutral
