This review is from: H2O Audio Surge Waterproof Headphones and Amphibx Waterproof Armband Combo (Medium) (Sports)

I was excited to try these out, but was actually a bit skeptical. I was concerned about the "bulky" feel and how distracting that may be during the swim. My wife and I train together, and decided to hold off until mine came in and I could try them out. Took a moment to get the ipod in there and centered (though no issues now), and once everything was in place and on my arm, my fears escalated. It felt big and bulky, just like I feared. HOWEVER, once I entered the water, turned on my playlist and started to swim, the feel of the armband disappeared and I got lost in the music and had a great swim. I've used these during both pool swims and open water swims with zero issues. My wife was impressed with her trial and now swims with her own pair. The earphones come with different size ear buds and we've both found a good fit. Sound quality is good and I must admit, I'm a bit of a audiophile and use $400 isolating earphones in my normal "land-listening" experiences, so I may be judging on a tough scale when I give the sound quality 4 stars instead of 5, but... I really like these and have recommended to my other swim friends.
