Review: Second purchase and equally as impressed - I purchased these earphones, with the longer wire, around 2 years ago and used them 3 times per week for those 2 years. The sound quality was good, but inevitably, as happens with wear and tear on the joining cable became worn and this then reduced the sound quality. I immediately decided to purchase the same brand again as I had such great wear out of the original ones. This time I opted for the short lead and I'm glad I did - much less faffy and no need to tuck the cables under my swim hat - simply slip under the goggle band so keep out of the way. Excellent sound quality, several options for ear plug size and once you get the correct size, they fit well with no movement or water entry. Will be happy to have a further 2 years out of these ones.
Review: Very comfortable and no leaking! - So I’ve been using an underwater audio iPod shuffle with some cheap Chinese headphones for a few years but they would often leak and get muffled. Decided to give these a go even though they were fairly pricey. I would say they are worth the money. Sound is decent, loud and bassy. I opted for the largest ear buds which I have to twist and squeeze to get them right in but the material is nice and soft so there’s zero discomfort. Length of cable is spot on really, long enough so there’s no snagging but not too long so there’s loads of cable excess. Most importantly there has been no leaking whatsoever, really happy with that! If I had to criticise them at all I’d say that the jack plug would be better being one of those right angled ones as it protrudes quite far to one side and I feared that it flapping around may eventually lead to deterioration at the connector so I’ve anchored it to the goggles strap with a cable tie to limit potential wear and tear. Other than that a brilliant pair of headphones!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work with a waterproof iPod shuffle?**
A: Yes! Absolutely. They will work with any MP3 player.

**Q: All of my earbuds seem to slip off the speaker and get stuck in my ears. Will these come out easier?**
A: I had the same problem so now use superglue to firmly attach the earbud covers to the speaker.  This has worked well for me.

**Q: Will these work with my apple watch and my music?**
A: These are wired headphones that plug into a headphone jack. The Apple Watch uses Bluetooth. You can use the Bluetooth version of the same headphones with your Apple Watch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CRRY7D6 Please note - Bluetooth range under water is only inches. If you are using your Apple Watch for swimming - you will need to attach that to your goggles - near the buttons of the headset (with in few inches). If you have any questions, please email us at support@h2oaudio.com

**Q: do they plug into apple i phone 7s?**
A: They work, but you will need the adapter (3.5mm headphone jack to Apple Lightning Jack).
