H2O Audio TRI PRO Multi-Sport Waterproof IPX8 Bone Conduction Open Ear Headphones - Bluetooth for Running/Cycling, MP3 for Swimming, Playlist+ App - Black

I like to listen to music when doing things like driving, riding a bicycle, a motorcycle, snowboarding, and now I can add swimming to this list. I’ve use H2O audio before with the first gen iPod nano but the headphones were quite uncomfortable. Now that I’m doing laps in the pool again (queue music) I have returned to the H2O Audio because the overall product was good and this product is completely different. Comfort These fit comfortably behind the head resting over the ear, very lightweight, and they are also comfortable under a swim cap and goggles. Loading Even though I have several gigs of MP3s, the idea of streaming music from Pandora, Deezer, or Apple Music like creating an old mix tape was a big part of my deciding factor for this model, adding an hour of streamed music was about 137 Mb. Also having an open ear headset that I can use for cycling and snowboarding is definitely a plus. Play back The navigation controls with the three buttons are pretty simple. However the volume level keeps resetting when you turn it back on. I would expect the device would remember volume settings when powering up in memory mode, Bluetooth mode would be at the level of the connected device. Audio quality Above water music quality is ok but I did not get these for the audio quality, I have other headsets for that. That being said under water is a whole different story. The sound is amazing and it feels like the music is playing through the entire pool. This may be because this is my first pair of underwater bone conductive headphones but I’m still impressed. Software It’s convenient to set and load streaming files from the phone, organizing loaded files. Unfortunately it is not possible to determine the size or length of a streamed track from the phone software. I had to open the files in the computer for that. Phone calls Works fine on voice calls but just make sure the device is also connected to the phone by Bluetooth if playing from memory. Pros: 8 Gigs Record audio streams over Bluetooth I can move music downloaded from Apple Music over to the device to listen to Cons: Does not remember volume level at restart (memory mode) Unable to see music file information (size and length) from phone app

I waited to write this review as the battery on first one I ordered died and couldn't be charged after one use. I am glad I did. I did obtain a replacement within a week and it appeared to work properly. When it worked, the sound quality was good and they were a pleasure to swim with. However, songs did have a tendency to skip frequently making me feel like I was listening to an old vinyl record on a turntable. Then, after several charges, the battery suddenly began draining overnight. I would charge it fully and find it dead, or on a very low charge when I went to use it the following morning. Just as suddenly, it once again began to hold the charge properly...but only for a few weeks. At this point, one side of the headset went dead and when I went to charge it again, it died completely. I was unable, after many attempts using different charging blocks and outlets, to ever get it to respond at all. When it works, this product is very acceptable and meets all my requirements. Unfortunately it just doesn't work. The product is junk. I am replacing it with a more reliable, and well recommended brand of bone conduction headphones; Shokz. Save your money and avoid this company.

I recently purchased the H2O Audio TRI Multi-Sport bone conduction headphones for an upcoming adventure. Unfortunately, my headphones stopped working after just 10 days of use. I was disappointed, but I contacted their support team, and Joe from H2O Audio was quick to respond. He apologized for the inconvenience and sent me a replacement all the way from San Diego to Sydney, where I live. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently he solved the issue. When you manufacture things in scale, some products will inevitably be faulty. However, what sets H2O Audio apart is how they address these issues. The exceptional customer service I received from Joe shows that H2O Audio truly cares about their customers and is committed to providing excellent service. The H2O Audio TRI Multi-Sport bone conduction headphones are a game-changer for adventurers like myself. Their open-ear design, lightweight build, and integrated MP3 player are perfect for outdoor adventures where conserving weight and power is essential. The headphones fit securely and do not fall off, even when I am in motion, which is critical for hikers and climbers like myself. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my H2O Audio headphones, not only because they are an excellent product but also because of the exceptional customer service I received. I highly recommend H2O Audio to anyone who wants reliable, high-quality headphones and customer service that goes above and beyond. Thank you, H2O Audio, for creating a fantastic product and for the excellent customer service! [Update] The replacement headphones arrived and they are awesome! Thank you, H2O Audio.

Llevo dos semanas usándolo en natación principalmente y usando casco de moto,me parecen muy cómodos, el audio es muy aceptable se escucha súper bien cuando está aislado y bajo el agua si usas tapones, lo que no me gusto fue para agregarle música mp3 no acepta otro formato. Y tiene una app para grabar tu propia playlist, hay que leer muy bien las instrucciones. El material es plástico duro, pero muy flexible para colocar en las orejas!

They work okay but break quite easily. I prefer the new Shokz swim as they're more flexible

Funciona excelente con bluetooth y tiene mp3, deja oír el ambiente sin problema al correr o andar en bicicleta, en la alberca se oyen excelente... pero el acabado es muy malo y se siente muy baratos no se sienten acorde al precio que tienen.

Working fine , both Bluetooth and MP3. Purchased at April 2024, and July 2024 it stopped working. Hopefully it would be fixed\refunded
