Product Description

H2O Audio H3 Waterproof Headphones let you listen to music while swimming with the optional H2O Audio waterproof housing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!, December 4, 2007

I was a little concerned after reading the reviews for the other H2O Audio headphones. People said the sound got muffled when water got in your ears. I have not found that at all with these. The sound is great. They help keep water out of my ears and are very comfortable. I recommend these for sure. I use them with the Otterbox waterproof iPod case and I love that too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with these, January 27, 2008

I am very happy with these. I have re-started swimming for triathlon training (after almost a 20-year layoff), and these have made the workouts tolerable. (I love biking and running - just not swimming.)
The sound is nothing to rave about, but it's certainly enough as your head is in and out of the water. Sometimes the sound is tinny. Sometimes you get enough water in your ear to completely block it out; then you just clear your ear and the sound comes back.
I highly recommend these for water sports if you must have tunes. Don't expect high-dollar, high-quality sound; that doesn't exist in the water, unless you're a humpback whale. You can expect to enjoy your tunes in an environment for which they were never created, and I applaud that.

2.0 out of 5 stars very uncomfortable, February 10, 2008

This review is from: H2O Audio H3 Waterproof Headphones (Electronics)

I was very excited to get my waterproof headphones and Otterbox case for my iPod to make my long swims a little more entertaining. I was very disappointed at the fit and comfort of these headphones, however. I have smaller than average ears, and quickly became very frustrated with trying to fit these headphones. I tried them several times, several ways (with the silicon attachments and without, attached to the head band and unattached) and I finally gave up. They kept falling out and they were so uncomfortable. I even tried to tuck them in my swimming cap, but that did not help at all. I plan to return them and try a different brand. If you have small ears, I would pass on these headphones.
