H2O Audio has announced the immediate availability of its H3 Waterproof Headphones. The new H3 headphones feature 3rd generation speaker technology, offering 10dB greater output and improved bass response when compared to H2O’s original underwater headphones. Other features include detachable earbuds with sport band, aquatic silencer earplugs with the ability to seal water out of the ear, and a reactive coiled cable designed to eliminate tangles. Kristian Rauhala, CEO of H2O Audio, said, “Our new H3’s are by far the best sounding and most versatile headphones that we have developed. We have improved the overall sound quality, increased output and bass response, and provided a redesigned sportband that readily attaches for action sport use.” H2O Audio H3 Waterproof Headphones are available now and sell for $50.

Do you guys know if they are sending you a review sample? I’d love to hear how these stack up, sound-quality-wise, against other ear buds.

I bought a pair of Maxell headphones for $10 that perform better than H2O Audio headphones under water (at least the version before this one).
Their headphones stop outputting sound when they get wet, but these $10 Maxell headphones don’t.
I hope these are better.

I just got a pair of these with the waterproof shuttle case. I haven’t been able to swim laps with them yet. But, I’m going to the Y tonite, so I’ll report back with results. But, initially, they’re uncomfortable & look really cheap. But, the sound is pretty good (above water). More tomorrow.

briefly - the supporting band is too small and restrictive & the plugs need some wax earplug to stay in, but once you rig it just right, it’s cool.
