🎧 X-1 SG-MN1-BK Surge Mini: Ultimate Waterproof In-Ear Sport Headphones by H2O Audio Review

Sounds good, but the bundled earbuds didn't fit me: they let water in my ear, making them sound muffled. I gave a 1 star review, but then X-1 customer service responded to my review by offering to send me some free flanged nozzles. That is the difference! The flanged tips (Christmas tree shape) are waterproof and sound great now. 1 star including accessories. 5 stars with flanged tips. Contact X-1 Customer Service (http://www.x-1.com/support.php) for flanged tips.

If you have small holes in your ears, they may not fit. I usually use Skull Candy in-ear headphones with the smallest rubber eartips they come with. The smallest size that ships with the H2O is more similar to the medium size that ships with the Skullcandys.11/25/15 test update. deduct another star. I found some small ear tips from another pair of headphones that fit these. Now they fit my ears but they have very little bass. Given that the description says "Rich, full-range sound in an…

I bought the X-1 SG-MN1-BK Surge Mini Waterproof in July 2014 (6 months ago) and I am pleased with its quality the most impressive thing is the price. Fit and waterproofing are excellent, and audio fidelity was quite good. However, after 30-45 uses, the right earbud came loose at the seam, exposing a bare wire. I filled out the warranty support form on the X-1.com website mid-week (they advertise a 1 year warranty) and never received a response, not even an automated email saying they received…

I have no comment on the sweat or water resistance of these headphones. Despite the overall high score, I was disappointed with the very thin sound quality. No matter how much bass and EQ I tried, these headphones just couldn't deliver a rich sound. Maybe I'm too picky and cheap to jump on expensive headphones. But I have a pair of entry-level Marley headphones ($40) and I really like them. I can't seem to find a similar price for the quality I'm looking for in sweatproof headphones, so I'm…

Great headphones. I originally bought the following size for gym use. I like that they are waterproof because I sweat a lot. I threw away about 3 pairs of buds before receiving them. The X-1s fit perfectly, they're nice, small and don't stick out of your ear. In fact I sleep with them many nights and I sleep on my side - never feel them. They also don't let any sound through. One night I slept in a cabin with other adult Boy Scouts, almost all of whom were snoring. I wore them and never heard…

This was my second set. Good sound quality as long as they last. This set only lasted 8 months before one side just stopped working. I swim in an infinity pool, so against the current for 30 minutes. The buds never stayed, but I changed them to "arborescent". Added some crazy glue to hold them in place. The first set cost about $60 and lasted almost two years. With both sets, the sound quality was good in both ears up to the stop. With other brands, one ear always seemed to have lower sound…

I swim 4-5 days a week. Boy let me tell you this is BORING! The problem with poor quality (read: CHEAP) headphones is that they sound TERRIBLE. Reproducing good sound quality UNDER WATER is already a challenge as these X-1 headphones were somehow able to reproduce clear highs, rich mids and powerful bass. The real plus of these headphones are the ear tips in different sizes. If you have fairly large holes in your ear, the cheap ones will leak water and break the seal, often ruining the sound…

I got the Waterfi iPod kit that came with the Flex in-ear sports headphones but on a visit to my mum's, her puppy destroyed them. I decided to upgrade and chose them. I can't say enough good things about them! They are absolutely worth the money compared to the Flex in-ear model, which is really good, only noticeably better. 1) You get a better fit/fit as they come with 5 ear tip sizes instead of 3. This means you have a better seal and are less likely to fall out while swimming. (I haven't had
