Hi, great video! Would you consider comparing them with the just released Suunto Aqua Headphones? They also have some interesting tracking sensors and none has reviewed them yet!
I read that bluetooth doesn't work in water.. (I think it's due to bluetooth signal can't connect through water).. have you tried at all with bluetooth? I have an apple watch which would constantly be in and out of the water.
Sadly this won’t work I tried to use my air pods on a paddle board and stream music from the watch. As soon as the watch is under water even a 1cm the signal is gone so sadly that won’t work. You need to download files but that’s quite easy
Huge warning: there is no folder management for your music collection in MP3-mode ... this makes the device for swimming 100% useless for most of the people. 32 GB of music and all you can do is either listen to your thousands of files in a fixed order or shuffled. No audio books. No sub folder management. Nothing. Biggest tech gadget disappointment of the decade for me - sent them back of course.
I use it for swimming, and when I'm swimming I don't have the time to choose different songs. Before swimming, put together my music or load an audio book on it and then go swimming for an hour or even longer. Who has time to click through folders while swimming? Then don't listen to music while swimming, is that the alternative? I really like these headphones and can recommend them.

listening using my shockz openswim pro. I can attest that they’re superb in the water as well 😊
Great review Simon - thank you!

Beautiful review, thank you will get one today.
You're welcome.

It has to be 5cm away from the watch. Some people take their watch and put them under the swimming cap.

No charging cable in the box?
Yes ,they are awesome .
No chapters, couldn't find mic test
Testing swimming earphones without SWIMMING?
USB-c cable?
No. Not waterproof.
@@hollyfoster3575 what I really meant is there USB-C at the charging end (rather than end that plugs into the headphones).
@@bradpayne no usb-c sadly

why don’t you just make folders on your computer and swap them out
Just use the Bluetooth version if you don’t want to use the mp3 version

@@hollyfoster3575yeah that’s crazy, cycle through folders would be nice but for swimming no one using a bloody podcasts they too boring!!
