If the bluetooth tech does not transmit underwater then how is it that people can swim with these on?

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

I just bought a pair for swimming. The signal cut out almost immediately after i put my head in the water. Funny because the bluetooth receiver is on the right ear. It only worked when i turned my head to the right for a breath. Other than that, they didnt work in the water at all. They worked fine testing them around the house.

NOT bluetooth, as far as i know... You connect the transmitter that comes with it to your headphone jack, and it transmits to the "receivers" in the speakers. Warning: Most, if not all, receivers will also turn off your regular speakers when you plug something into the receiver's headphone jack... If you connect to your computer, all should be fine... hope this helps... BTW, I use them for around the pool and they are great for that. I have an adapter (High to Low Level Impedance Adaptor, bought on amazon, so i don't blow the adapter), so have the transmitter hooked to speaker ports, so i can use inside and outside. They are excellent for outside. I plug them into the outside plugs at the pool, no batteries necessary. For what it's worth, I use my 7.1 dual zone receiver with 5.1 inside and the remaining two for zone 2 outside.

Can you swim with the heart rate strap and the Vivofit. Most bluetooth devices can not transmit under water. This is the reason I am sending back the Polar Loop and H7 because I can't track my heart rate while swimming.

it does work underwater, but it's easier to listen to music than say books or podcast. I haven't had a problem with it working in the water, if it didn't work, i would have returned it, it is a little pricey but i would still recommend it.

Do you mean SCUBA dive or jumping off a diving board from pool side? (I do both ;-) If you mean SCUBA diving, I'm not sure the player would withstand the pressure, nor would it be a good idea to have these things in your ears at that kind of depth. If you mean jumping off a diving board, I think that the device might tolerate it, but the earpieces might fall out. I use this device when I swim laps in a chlorinated pool but I've altered the manner that I do turns to keep the earpieces on.

I have no instances of the the earpiece coming out. I also have not had water enter my ears. Surprisingly, the sound quality is very good. I thought I would sacrifice sound quality for the convenience of waterproofing but that is not the case. The quality is there all the way around...sound, waterproof, no water in ears. and the stay on.

no - go check out x-1 waterproof headphones - much cheaper and waterproof ( I swim a lot with them)

Sound can be muffled with them but they can still hear. Everyone may be talking a little louder but they are worth it for us. Whenever my daughter went underwater without them she would get swimmers ear that led to infection.

Hi Juan,Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

The headphones are waterproof( at least they worked for me when I used them). The only problem is that they don't stay in the ear, specially when you swim.

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

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.

The sound is fine. The buds have to be pushed in to form a decent seal in your ear, and that may muffle the sound a bit. For me, the key is to have recognizable sound to provide the distraction from the boredom of swimming laps - These buds serve that purpose very well, and I have been very happy with the device.

I do not think that these are meant to be underwater. They are rated as Waterproof, UV Resistant for Outdoor Use, meaning water proof against atmospheric conditions not underwater where exposed to water pressures. I would not use them for underwater use. The waterproof as well greatly depends upon how well the wiring up of the connector to the cable is done and think that in that area it is very much questionable how good they are. Sloppy work here will spoil the whole connecter in respect to waterproof.

These are headphones that plug into the waterproof iPod shuffle from Underwater Audio. Work like regular headphones under water for lap swimming.

They have to be plugged into a waterproof device like ipod. Swim with them is just amazing. They worth every penny.

First off, how would you hear the music if it's underwater? I doubt it would work anyway because the blue tooth probably wouldn't work and I don't believe it is waterproof.
