BlueAnt Pump HD: A rugged wireless sports headphone that's washable

The $129 BlueAnt pump may not sound stellar but it offers a secure fit and a waterproof design that makes it an appealing headphone for workouts.

The BlueAnt Pump is a sturdy wireless sports headphone that has a waterproof design and fits very securely in your ears and on your head. It offers wireless streaming from up to 100 feet away.

The sound lacks clarity and is bass-heavy.

Blueant PUMP Bluetooth HD Sportbuds Black

With bona fide in-ear headphones like the Pump, that's true, because if you don't get a tight seal you lose a lot of bass. To help you get that tight seal, BlueAnt includes a couple of optional stabilizers that snap onto the buds. Ostensibly, the...

BlueAnt Pump HD Sportbuds

Wireless sporty styled headphones are big business, so there's no shortage of models that try to appease the vast segment of fitness oriented consumers. Longtime Bluetooth maker BlueAnt is in the race too, where they intend on making a splash with its...

Snug fit that never feels loose, even with physical activities ; Rugged and waterproof ; Strong volume and bass output ; Easy to access physical controls

Mids and highs drown out and sound flat at louder volumes ; Achieved only half its battery life rating ; Bulky in size

Armed with a sticker price of $130, the BlueAnt Pump HD Sportbuds matches many of its main competitors in price – like the Jaybird Bluebuds X and Plantronics BackBeat Go 2. To BlueAnt’s credit, we really appreciate the firmer fit of its model, even...

Review: BlueAnt PUMP HD Wireless Waterproof Sportbud

The PUMP charges via a micro-USB plug that is tucked behind a waterproof enclosure on one earpiece; it will play for up to 8 hours on a single charge. The two sides are connected by a single, tangle-free cable that wraps around the back of the head. As...

BlueAnt Pump HD Sportbuds

A pair of wireless earbuds that are designed for active users

Good sound quality ; Bluetooth ; Sweat, water and dust resistant

Not particularly stylish ; Some users might find them bulky and uncomfortable to wear

A good pair of headphones for walkers and gym-goers; people that don’t mind a bit of bulk when they are walking or working out.

BlueAnt Pump HD Sportsbuds review

Don't sweat about sweating all over these waterproof buds

Secure fitting ; Waterproof design ; Solid battery life

Audio lacks definition ; Stabilizers can get uncomfortable ; Limited physical buttons can get confusing

A solid choice for athletic people requiring a secure connection, but audio quality is underwhelming for everyone else. For athletes, there is a lot to love about these headphones – namely the fact that you can run/dance/basejump without ever fearing...

BlueAnt PUMP HD Sportsbuds

Released earlier this year by wireless audio company BlueAnt, the PUMP HD Sportsbuds promise to deliver “unrivalled audio for intense activity and extreme conditions”. And, despite a few hitches, these in-ear headphones go a long way to fulfilling...

Water, dust and sweat resistant; won’t fall out; good overall sound quality

Bulky looking; limited Bluetooth range; sound quality drops at high levels

Overall, I found these earphones performed very well for their purpose – rigorous exercise and exposure to the elements. If you find your earphones constantly letting you down during any exercise, sport or physical activity, then the PUMP HDs are...
