Best Swimming Headphones - TOP-7 Ranking 2021

It is believed that best swimming headphones makes only Sony brand. And most people sometimes have no idea that other manufacturers also have similar gadgets. And in order to dispel this stereotype, we would like to present you the TOP 7 swimming headphones at an affordable price. On the Russian market there are many "ears" with protection from dust and moisture. These indicators are confirmed by special certificates (IP68 / IPX8) of the degree of protection against ingress.

Due to this, the devices have the ability to withstand water ingress or complete immersion. Therefore, it is very important to immediately pay attention to the level of certification so that there are no unpleasant surprises after sailing after the purchase.

Waterproof headphones can be classified into two types:

  • headphones with a built-in player. Their cost is much higher than that of standard models. However, there is an undeniable advantage - you don't have to worry about water permeability;
  • waterproof headphones with ear locks, devoid of any remotes, microphones and intended exclusively for listening to music in the pool.

7. Aquapac 919

The best headphones for swimmers!

The company focuses on the production of gadgets and equipment for professional swimmers. The behind-the-ear clips prevent the "aquapack" from falling out during a sharp turn or movement. It was this model that became in demand due to its low weight (only a few grams), a 5-year warranty and perfect insulation. The IPX8 certification allows you to dive into the water to a depth of 5 meters. However, at such a price, it cannot be said that the sound in headphones is appropriate. Although the impedance of 32 Ohm allows them to be used with any device.

Aquapac 919 for swimming

  1. excellent IPX8 waterproof rating;
  2. protection against salt sea water;
  3. you can descend to a depth of 5 meters;
  4. there are ear clips and low weight;
  5. excellent ergonomics and comfortable fit.

  1. the sound could be better;
  2. no waterproof cover for sound source included;

6. JBL Endurance DIVE

Sensory swimming headphones!

JBL Endurance DIVE is the perfect pool gadget. The main features of this gadget are unique design, interesting colors, touch control and excellent water resistance. The earbuds work in 2 modes:

  • Bluetooth (plays audio recordings from the phone, can be a headset)
  • MP3 Player (1 GB memory and music list included).

JBL Endurance DIVE for Swimming

Just before diving, you should set up the mp3-player mode on the headphones and lock the controls.

  2. the ability to work in standalone mode of an mp3 player or bluetooth headset;
  3. 8 hours of Bluetooth music;
  4. fast charging - 10 minutes of charging per hour of operation;
  5. fixation in the ears.

  1. touch controls are very confusing with a high degree of perception. Any drop hit can be perceived as a touch;
  2. cannot be controlled while in the water. The problem is that it must be set to lock before swimming - hence the inability to switch a song or adjust the volume;
  3. if water drops enter the headphones, the sound becomes very quiet. When swimming, the ear pads in your ear are displaced, so water gets there.Fortunately, the player does not break, but the headphones need to be dried for proper sound.

5. OverBoard OB1063

Reliable swimming headphones!

OverBoard OB1063 waterproof earplugs are a unique model - the headband allows you to securely fix the device on the swimming cap. But there is a problem - the headphones are not protected by sea water. And the advantage is that you can dive to a depth of 6 meters! Due to their low weight, "overboard" headphones cannot sink in water; if they are lost, they can simply be found on the surface.

The sound is not of high quality, sound distortions occur at great depths and, accordingly, it becomes even worse. It should be said that the main drawback of the model is the straight 3.5 mm mini-jack, which is easy to break off.

    1. It seems that the tops of headphones for swimming are simply rewritten from year to year, changing only the number of the year. I have never seen either Sony WF-SP900 or Bragi Dash Pro in any top. In general, swimming headphones are entertainment for masochists, IMHO, neither swim normally nor listen to music.

      1. But it seems to me the opposite ...
        I swim for an hour, I want to listen to an audiobook, because it's just boring in silence
