H2O Audio Surge Waterproof Sport Headphones Review

 

What keeps you entertained when you hit the gym? I'm sure most of your answers would be a mp3 player or flirting with that gorgeous guy/girl next to you. But let's stick with audio for this review. Wearing headphones when working out is very common...

Waterproof ; Sweatproof

Not enough bass

H2O Audio SURGE Headphones

 

Waterproof up to depths of 12 feet, these small, compact in-ear headphones from H2O Audio offer surprisingly good sound quality and come complete with five different sizes of rubber tips to fit different ears. They also come with a small waterproof...

Usable in any water activity, reasonable price, earplug fittings for any ear size, carrying case included

Sound quality is good, but not great

Overall the sound quality is not quite as good as you may get in a standard pair of headphones at the same price, but for what they are, the sound quality of the headphones is very good. One flaw, for me at least, , is the fact that they are not...

Poorly designed, failed on me twice

 

I really really wanted this to work. You see, I have a great waterproof ipod, but as much as I wanted this to compliment my swimming experience, I was utterly disappointed. Granted, the company gave me another one, but that also proptly failed. I...

water proof headphone failure

 

headphones failed in less than one month. returning for warranty. this is my second pair of these headphones. both failed in less than one month

Consumer review by:

I felt cheated

 

When I saw the product's name that included "2G", I thought that this is like a MP3 player with 2G of internal memory. However when I received the product, I understood that this is only a headphone, but there is no place, what so ever, in the package...

Consumer review by:

Meh.

 

The cord isn't very long at all, which causes difficulty when using the cord as designed - behind your head/down your back. Because it is a curly cord, there's little room for negotiation. The earbuds couldn't fit comfortably. I was grateful to find it...

Several earbud cushions to choose from

None of the earbuds are comfortable

Swimming to tunes

 

These headphones perfectly completed my Life Proof purchases. I can now do lap swim and listen to my favorite tunes. My only regret is that this tool was not available when I swam for a local swim team a number of years ago. It would have made those...

Consumer review by:

worst headphones I've bought

 

Do not buy these. They are the worst headphones I have purchased. The sound is poor, I feel like I am in a tunnel listening to echoing sounds. The chord is hard plastic and after 2 months of use still keeps the initial wiring pattern. ear pieces are...

Disappointed

 

I was disappointed with the earbuds. They did not perform well under water as the sound kept cutting in and out. I checked that the connection was solid with the ipod and it still remained inconsistent.
