The answer, the products, the prices and the sources are verbatim from the real reply; the product photos are ones Luce looked up for the exact products it named. ChatGPT en-US a recreation from the real answer best wireless earbuds for swimming and water For actual swimming (laps or open water), the best choice is usually not traditional true wireless earbuds like AirPods or Galaxy Buds. Bluetooth signals don't travel well through water, so they often cut out once your head is submerged. The best swimming headphones instead use bone conduction and built-in MP3 storage for offline music. TechRadar ‹ (Previous product)1 of 4 › (Next product) - S photo not available Shokz OpenSwim Pro **$229.99** Best Buy - H photo not available H2O Audio Sonar 2 PRO **$149.99** Walmart - H2O Audio - S photo not available Suunto Aqua **$179.00** Best Buy - P photo not available PrimePlus Bone Conduction Swimming Headphones **$69.99** Best Buy (products ChatGPT put forward) Show the full reply For actual swimming (laps or open water), the best choice is usually not traditional true wireless earbuds like AirPods or Galaxy Buds. Bluetooth signals don't travel well through water, so they often cut out once your head is submerged. The best swimming headphones instead use bone conduction and built-in MP3 storage for offline music. TechRadar Here are the top options: Shokz OpenSwim Pro $229.99 • Best Buy Why it's the best overall IP68 waterproof rating 32GB onboard storage for phone-free swimming Bluetooth for use on land, MP3 mode for underwater Comfortable open-ear bone conduction design Excellent fit for pool workouts and triathlons TechRadar Also worth considering: H2O Audio Sonar 2 PRO $149.99 · Walmart - H2O Audio Great if you: Want strong underwater audio Like H2O Audio's Playlist+ feature for transferring playlists to onboard storage Swim frequently and also run or cycle TechRadar Suunto Aqua $179.00 · Best Buy A solid premium alternative with: IP68 waterproofing 32GB storage Lightweight fit Long battery life Best budget option PrimePlus Bone Conduction Swimming Headphones $69.99 · Best Buy A lower-cost choice that still offers: IP68 waterproofing 32GB onboard storage Bone conduction design If you only need earbuds for rain, showers, or the gym Regular wireless earbuds such as AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM series, or Beats Powerbeats are water-resistant but not designed for swimming underwater. Even with an IPX7/IPX8 rating, Bluetooth becomes unreliable once submerged. TechRadar +1 My recommendation by use case Best overall swimmer: Shokz OpenSwim Pro Best for triathletes: H2O Audio Sonar 2 PRO Best premium alternative: Suunto Aqua Best value: PrimePlus Bone Conduction Swimming Headphones If you're swimming mostly in a pool versus open water, I can narrow the recommendations further, since the ideal features differ slightly between those environments.
