Has anyone tried swimming with these? Will they survive complete submersion for over an hour?

I think they might survive for a while, but I wouldn't count on it.... they don't seem to be designed for that.

Haven't tried it...but I think they would be ok for a short period of time...not sure about an hour.

Yes, water-resistant, sweat-resistant. They are NOT waterproof, so no swimming with these, but rain/sweat will not mess up controls. Best Regards,Mike Emberswww.acousticsounddesign.com888-224-3663

i've never tried them in water, but they are durable and i believe they will hold up. you've got a great idea

These are not really thick enough to add floatation. I use them for splash protection and have only been in the water with them a couple of times but have not noticed any added floatation.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

No these will not work in a pool - for swimming I use x-1 waterproof headphones. This after going through 5 different "waterproof" headphones. They are slightly more - but I have been training with them for more than 4 months.

If you cry and get them wet.....they will fall off, so I would think swimming would be a disaster.

I have 4 of them. They are not submersible that I can tell (never tried) because the battery compartment is not sealed.

Yes, I use them for daily lap swimming. I swim between 1200 and 2200 yards five days a week. It works well as long as I tuck the wires into my goggle strap and then carefully take my turns. Sometimes, I come off the wall at a weird angle and I do flood my ears which makes it hard to hear. At that point I take them out and swim the rest without them - and then start again with them the next day.

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

They leaked a bit with just water. Make sure you have the bottoms on completely tight. It wasn't generally a big problem for me.

Yes sure. In fact, I think they would last longer if not floating in a pool. I keep mine in the pool all the time now though.

Patti, hi,No.DO NOT USE THEM.FOR SWIMMING!! I got them.for jogging, dancing and indoor gym workout. I tried them once at the beach and poof... they went dead. so had to get a new pair. but for swimming my friend got me JLAB they work perfectly for swimming and somewhat like earplugs in the water. so for swimming buy JLAB check right here on Amazon. have fun Patti.

Do not use them IN a pool. If you use them NEAR a pool it's ok if they get splashed occasionally and wiped off, but it is not good to submerge them underwater.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

I don't know about rain-proof or water-proof, but I believe they are fairly sweat proof. I don't think you could swim with them on, but I haven't had any problems working out with them on, and I have in the past with a different pair of headphones. At the tip of the speaker, which is the farthest inserted into the ear, is a little white plastic 'cap' (shaped like an inverted cap) that after awhile can get clogged with earwax, but you can pop the cap out and clean it with a pin (it has little holes in it) and pop it back in. I've done this several times, and haven't lost either cap yet.
