What did you buy dude?Are you pleased with 'em?

[@bruce.wgamel6578]

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzbin.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

[@sharontzu5]

I had the JBL for about 2 years. The main disadvantage is the inability to skip forward, change volume, etc. while swimming, since you have to lock it to touch for swimming. This meant that some of my songs were always too quiet and others too loud. The only way to adjust is to stop swimming, stop the device, turn on again, adjust volume, and then lock for swimming. And the touch didn't always respond as it should when not locked. (it would take me several attempts to switch between mp3 and blue tooth, for example.) It has also stopped being recognized by my computer. Perhaps the fact that the terminals are on the devise itself and so get wet makes them more vulnerable to damage. Now that my computer doesn't recognize it, I can't upload music or delete songs I no longer want. I've just purchased Shokz openswims S700. The terminals for charging and connection to computer are in a cradle, not on the device itself. I hope that will safeguard them. Great sound on dry land, and today I tried it in the pool and was very happy with the sound. You need to use the ear plugs provided because otherwise the volume will change as you go in and out of the water. The ear plugs are super comfortable, and don't fall out in the water. The device is also very comfortable - I didn't feel it at all as I swam. I love having button controls, and the volume buttons are sensitive, meaning you just get a little bit more or less volume with each press so that you can really adjust it as you please. All the functions worked. Not having blue tooth is really not a problem for a device you use for swimming, since you can't use blue tooth in the water anyway. I actually like the devise so much that I'm buying Shokz openruns for use as a "dry land" blue tooth device at home - where I like to listen to music but to be "available" to the rest of my family when they talk to me.

[@josuegarcia3355]

How much time can u use it while swimming? I usually train for about 1 hour, but I still not sure which one to buy :(

[@sharontzu5]

@@josuegarcia3355 They ssy charge will last for 8 hours. I haven't put that to the test; I usually swim for about an hour and battery remains on high.

Honestly, this is the best review I've seen so far. Great job, Andy! I've been looking around for the best option to buy, and two of these three earphones were constantly mentioned in the previous videos I found. Only one thing that concerns me: they say that all earphones intended for swimming don't last that long and may last up to 18-24 months. Is that a fact? What do you think? Thank you! (Ps: I'm not a professional swimmer, I'm just looking for the best option to listen to music on those days that I can have a couple of hours to swim or dive for fun and relaxation)

[@AndysTechTone]

Exposure to either sea water or chlorinated pool water tends to kill not only earbuds sooner but all your swimming gear, so there is merit to those claims unfortunately. If you rinse your earbuds after each use and keep them dry, it might help prolonging their use

[@Familylawgroup]

I just found this video after looking up Aftershokz OpenSwim. Have you considered updating this two year old video to discuss new entrants? As a user with single sided deafness, I rely on bone conduction science for my hearing assistance in land. As a swimmer, I spent years frustratated that I couldn’t download an audiobook and play it while I am swimming. I can get really bored swimming but if I swim while listening to a book or favorite songs, I find I swim for a longer time, a faster place, and burn up a lot more calories.

[@iamnobody2241]

Oohh so aside from Sony mp3 for swimming there’s also JBL. Now instead of wanting only the Sony, I now want both. Sony and JBL. Thank you this another wonderful video.

[@AndysTechTone]

I'm not sure if buying both makes sense. The Sony is much better in every aspect than the JBL.

[@vishwavishwathan6236]

Nice comparison... in my experience I'm using the sony 3 generations of underwater headphones! for at least 8 to 9 years now! once you get used to swimming while listening to music, there is no going back! if you forget your headphones to the pool, good luck running back home, its jus not worth swim without it! but I'm not hear to talk about that but about "SONY!" i've used 3 generations 6 different headphones and they all keep dying of water seeps in through the button (ya the same plethora of button you so happy about!) the buttons will eventually starts activating on its own and then goes numbe and then the headphone it self will go unresponsive to anything(basically die every single time)! sound quality is good! and i never ran out of battery so far, bcoz i charge b4 each day of swim... i was looking in to bone conductive, coz less holes for water to seep through, but no heart to leave Sony! but swimming becomes much more expensive bcoz of this unreliable issue!

[@AndysTechTone]

Well done, very professional in every way... legendary review... I've used both the Sony and the JBL for a number of years and agree with your review. Over time the buttons on the Sony failed and I can no longer use them in the water. Unfortunately I lost my JBL headphones, but the were going strong for almost 2 years (I got use to using the power hook and touch controls) the charging port messed up and needed cleaning, I also switched cables a few times. I have recently bought the Sony WF-SP900 (AUS) they look good, feel good but have failed from the start with swimming. I think I'm ready to try the Aftershokz Headphones now. Have you tested any of the devices with wind noise on a bike (triathlon is my sport)? Thanks again for a great review. Sam.

Bluetooth won’t work underwater no matter if it’s a smartwatch or a phone. That’s why these headphones have an onboard storage so you can use them offline while swimming

[@3v11]

After watching your review i bought Sony NW-WS623 for swimming only. The sound quality was pretty bad, I mean you can hear some main beats, but hardly any voices, even at loudest settings. Moreover, they are pretty big - a fact you did not mention. I had issues with swimming front crawl and accidently removing headphones when I put my arm forward during the stroke. I mainly purchased them with the idea to listen to podcasts, but they are pretty useless in that matter - you cannot hear a single word during the swim, unless you casually swim front stroke. I will test Aftershokz soon, hopefully they work better in the matter of comfort and sound quality. Nice video overall though!
