I have tried a range of waterproof music systems without ever finding "the one". Waterproof ear phones just don't work as they eventually let water in which ruins the sound quality. So I was a little nervous about trying another system making big promises. I didn't need to be as I am ecstatic about my swimpros. Set up was easy as was loading my playlist from itunes - just dragged and dropped all 390 songs. They fitted well and the music quality was fantastic. No distortions as I swam and no diminution of quality as I swam. If I was to give any suggestions for improvements I would give 2. 1. it would be nice to be able to shorten the fitting so it fits snuggly against the back of my head and under my swimming cap - every one is going to have a different size head! 2. If you load podcasts, I am not aware how you can choose which one to play when you are in MP3 mode. Otherwise a brilliant piece of kit - beautifully designed and it does exactly what it says on the box. I love them. Well done Shokz

In water the headphone volume is inaudible unless it is used together with the earplug. also need to save music file into mp3 which is not widely supported by major streaming services due to privacy concerns. when i run with it, due to its design, when background is too noisy, it is hard to hear either. not ideal since i'd like to hear podcast. in door it is great that it offers good clarity and unhindered ambient sound.

Spent ages reviewing different products, smart watches, mp3 players and headphones and finally came across the swim pro 2 headphones. Ordered a pair a few weeks ago and cannot be more pleased. The sound quality when doing front crawl is brilliant and it has made me stay longer in the pool. Also caused convo in the changing room with another gym going ordering a pair after trying mine. Would highly recommend.

I've had my Openswim Pro for a week and a half now, and it's a game changer... I swim 2.5km weekly with my wife, am training for a marathon, did my first half marathon last weekend (with my new openswim pro), and have run a yearly 10K race for the last 12 years. I've never been able to use headphones in the pool before, and to be honest an hour of swimming in a pool can get a bit boring. This changes that... It's not without problems / teething problems though, my push off every length dislodges the headphones to some extent, so I use less power now in this (this slows me a bit, but I'm hopeful that using a swim cap next week will help), and also the sound is pretty good underwater, but when my head is above water in breast stroke (or front crawl - but less so) and sound is much less good. I guess it would be amazing for snorkeling! It was a slight hassle to have to find my music on MP3 to put it on my Openswim Pro, but the problem here was more finding the music rather than putting it on which was very easy. Although the instruction manual states that in water Bluetooth is unusable, I still hope to be able to use my Garmin Forerunner music watch (which interestingly is able to download Spotify playlist/s directly from Spotify and save it to my watch - which unfortunately Shokz has not been able to do to date) to stream my music from the watch directly to my headphones. I did forget to put it on 'swimming mode' which I understand makes music sound better in the water but hope to do that this coming week. It is good that you are able to change mode from MP3 to Bluetooth mode just using the headphone buttons and not need the app, so for example in the pool I did try Bluetooth mode first and then switched to MP3 mode. Also, you can change from 'standard mode' to 'swimming mode' (for MP3 sound equalisation) again using the headphone mounted controls. Another thing that I find helpful is the multi-point pairing. This allows me to pair the headphones with both my Garmin watch and my Google Pixel phone and allows easy transition between the two, on the go, when running for example. Finally, in normal land running with these bone conduction earphones, I find they are not quite as good in sound quality as my Bose headphones but infinitely safer. For many road racers now, headphones are banned except for bone conduction earphones because of the ability to hear what is going on around you and potentially save you from an accident. This is one of the reasons that I took the plunge and bought this pair of headphones for my half marathon race. To be fair for the first five kilometres of this half marathon, I just had the headphones around my neck because I wanted to have the full experience of the atmosphere and environment and this was absolutely fine and comfortable. At 5K, I then put my headphones in place and enjoyed the boost that music gives you running for the rest of the race.

I have previously used a headset that is in opposition to This product, not sure it’s cool to name so I won’t!! Starts with S ends in Y! I had problems from the onset, as a long distance swimmer it gets kind of boring after a while so I need music. The water used to get into the inner ear pieces of the old headset after a few lengths and became distorted, this headset has transformed my life! I’m in love with it in and out the water, I walk the dog and chat to friends they can hear me so well I do the housework whilst running my business and today I went to the quarry and it was 16 degrees and the music in my ears made my 3 mile swim feel so much more interesting. This is just the best product on the market!
