Load your favorite tunes from your computer directly onto Swimbuds Bone Conduction, hit play, and dive in!
Swimbuds Bone Conduction is best for those who already own a bunch of their own music.
This all-in-one player/headphones combo is easy to wear, super secure, and doesn't plug up your ears with any earbuds.
This makes it a great choice for swimmers who want a low-hassle way to swim with music.
Surfers and other athletes will value the situational awareness provided by Swimbuds Bone Conduction's open-ear design.
Hearing through bone conduction is not a new phenomenon, but it has only recently been applied to consumer products at scale.
Bone conduction is how Beethoven was able to hear his compositions clearly after losing most of his hearing (it's also how many ocean mammals communicate).
Instead of passing sound waves through the air to be processed by your eardrums before reaching your cochlea, bone conduction devices translate sound into physical vibrations which are sent through your cheek bone directly to your cochlea. Essentially, bone conduction headphones act as external eardrums.
This means you don't have to insert anything into your ears to listen.

I've been using my waterproof iPod Shuffles for swimming for more than a decade, but with the discontinuation of the Shuffle a new solution had to be found. This product is amazing! The bone conduction works so well, it incorporates headphones and player in one, it has a shuffle function, and because of the design it has really no location to let water leak into electronic components. I've learned to adapt my iTunes playlists to mp3s so that they can be installed on this device and it's very straightforward. If software becomes available to make playlists in the future that would be especially awesome! I've bought 3 of these devices so far so that I can travel with them and I expect them to last a long, long time!
I just got my new swimbuds bone conductors and I’m looking forward not to having to deal with the earbuds that one has to insert into one’s ear. These types of earbuds usually wear out after 6 months or so. I’ve been using underwater water waterproof MP3 players for at least three years. I could not do my daily lap swimming without them. I don’t listen to music but rather listen to various podcasts. I found my swimbud bone conductors to be much easier to use, so far. However, I find that the maximum volume setting isn’t quite loud enough because when doing the crawl stroke the noise of my stroke is enough to interfere and can’t get good audio reception/volume. I appear to have come up with a solution by using a old pair of the hydroactive swimbuds (don’t connect them or insert the earpiece in ears) to create a ‘tighter fit’ for the swimbuds bone conductors. I find this creates a clearer audio sound. If you just listen to music this might not be a problem. However, I listen to podcasts so it is/was an issue.
I have the previous player as well, and these are definitely way more simple and easy to use. Very good design! The sound quality is decent(not quite as good as headphones of course, because bone conduction), and its nice not have to fiddle with trying to get the earbuds to seal properly in your ears, or hooking the player to your goggle strap. Very much an improvement over the previous model.
