Also, before purchasing I went to local stores: Sports Basement and Best Buy to see what they have. They had nothing comparable so I opted for same delivery as a Prime member, couldn't have been more in awe of Amazon as to the ease of the delivery. I had them ready for my following morning swim-incredible.
At almost 2 1/2 years of near constant use, the sound in the left earbud stopped working. I was hoping it was a fluke and gave it a few weeks but it never came back. Fortunately for me I had purchased the extended warranty offered at the time I bought this item on Amazon through Asurion. When I received the headphones originally I had uploaded the receipt to them so the claim process went through very quickly and smoothly. They even gave me a prepaid shipping label to return the product through UPS. This doesn’t change my four star review because with almost 2 1/2 years of use I feel that I definitely got my moneys worth with this item. I just thought I would mention it in case you’re purchasing it through Amazon and aren’t sure if you should get the warranty or not. It was well worth the money because they very quickly reimbursed me with a $90 Amazon gift card to purchase a new one. I was actually going to go directly through the company to re-order the headphones since it’s Black Friday this weekend and they always have sales, but unfortunately they don’t offer an extended warranty if you purchase it directly through them. I will definitely be purchasing another extended warranty, even though I did notice the warranty price has gone up quite a bit since my original purchase, but it is still well worth it.
I have had these waterproof headphones for a year and a half now. There were some little, but very important tricks I had to learn in the beginning while first trying them out before they worked perfectly for me every time.
1. No matter which ear pieces you think will fit the best, take them ALL to the pool the first few times to try them out. Some I thought would be great, only to get in the pool and discover they weren't so air tight in my ears after all. It's too bad the company doesn't give a detailed description of how to fit each different ear piece in the ear. It was definitely trial and error for me. The medium size trees ended up working perfectly for me.
2. Once you get the ear piece you want to wear, add a sliver/tiny dab of petroleum jelly to the inside part before inserting it into your ear to swim. Makes sliding them into the ear much easier and provides an extra barrier to the water leaking in.
3. If you do manage to get water into the ear and 'static' develops while listening to your music, whatever you do DO NOT take the earbuds out to shake out the water. Just very gently push the earbud further into the ear canal and within a minute or two the static should stop. This also goes the same if someone wants to talk to you once you have gotten the earbuds wet. Turn off the music, DO NOT take the earbuds out to listen because it ruins the water tight seal. Unless you have a dry towel or q-tip handy, the static will become constant when you put them back in.
4. When you are finished swimming, rinse the earbuds in fresh water then gently shake and towel blot dry before putting them back in the case.
5. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to call the company. They have great customer service and are very helpful.
Once I got the hang of these few tricks these headphone have been fantastic and well worth the money spent. The only negative to the design for me was that the earbuds are rather large and if you have smaller ear canals some days they can be uncomfortable by the way they stick out. I also found that if you want to wear a swim cap. the sides of the caps have to be above the ears so the headphones will fit on properly. So if you are looking for something that will keep your hair dry while wearing, these aren't the waterproof headphones for you. I wet my hair down before I put the swim cap on and use their Aqua Guard pre-swim hair defense cream. It really helps your hair from becoming trashed from all the chlorine in the pool.
So if you are hesitant about spending this kind of money on waterproof headphone, don't be. Follow the tricks I mentioned above and you will be so glad you purchased them!
These come with a myriad of different shapes and size buds, extension cord and very nicely packaged.
Overall I'm extremely satisfied with these - I think the money is well spent.

TRES MAUVAIS QUALITÉ DE SON.
J'AI DU REVENIR SUR LES ECOUTEURS DE BASE (MEME FABRIQUANT!) QUI ONT ETE FOURNIS AVEC MON IPOD ACQUATIQUE....
J'AI PRIS TROP DE TEMPS POUR FAIRE LE RETOUR, ET MAINTENANT C'EST FOUTU
Rimangono ben inseriti e non entra acqua durante le virate.
Qualità del suono un po’ Metallica, ma per l’uso che se ne fa è più che accettabile.
Ho ordinato subito anche degli auricolari di riserva.
