I plan to purchase these Aquapac earbuds, but as a curious note to anyone looking; Shure E2 earbuds are in fact watertight. I use mine with an H2O Audio case and some silicone tape to wrap around the plug. I’ve been using the same pair, with a set of triple-flange inserts jammed on there, for almost two years now.
I don’t submerge them more than a foot and only for a second or two, but they do get plenty wet!

I can’t wait to buy one of these, because I love to listen to my iPod underwater.

I just received this earphone. It sounds great! I’ve tried 2 other fully submersible waterproof earphones…and this one by far sounds the best. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for one.
