- Short edit review of the Shockz Open Swim headphones that use bone conducting technology to play mp3 music, audio books or podcasts while you swim. These are the best option for swimming in terms of ease of use, simplicity and consistent sound quality.

I find swimming dull but need to swim for triathlon. Other options I have tried:
- The WaterFi waterproofed iPod Shuffle had excellent sound but I had to mess around with headphone cables and ear buds that would fill with water or just fall out of my ears, so I would have to stop the swim to reposition them. It wasn't worth the admin so I stopped using it.
- I tried the Finis Duo headset which is a bone conducting system like the ShockZ Open Swim but they are huge and need to be attached to your goggles, I did not like them but if you want to check them out they are here: amzn.to/3rdkoEm
- Sony NWWS413BM 4GB Sports Wearable MP3 Player - this works well as there are no cables but you still need to position the ear buds securely in your ears and they have a tendency to fall out or just fill with water. It is available here: amzn.to/3R6mLnc

The air bubbles and tone change problems could be solved by wearing earplugs.
These headphones came with a set of earplugs for that purpose.
Mack’s silicone putty earplugs are the best sealing and most comfortable giving the best sound IMO.
Good review, I’ve got some.. aren’t they great.👍🏼
My local outdoor pool opens in a couple of weeks so I’ll be using them frequently again
How easy is it to get the music on?
Very easy. They come with a usb cable that allows you to drag and drop mp3 tracks on to the headphones.
