Bone Conduction Headphones IP68 Waterproof Swimming Headphones

Our review of these bone conduction headphones finds they are best for active users who want to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music or taking calls. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an open-ear design and certified IP68 waterproof protection, which lets runners, cyclists and swimmers use the same headset across land and water (MP3 mode only when submerged). The headset balances comfort, a secure fit from its silicone and titanium construction, and the convenience of onboard 32 GB memory for music without a phone.

Key Features

• IP68 waterproof: Certified protection against sweat, moisture and dust makes the headphones suitable for swimming, workouts and outdoor exercise while keeping the electronics sealed.
• Bluetooth 5.4 & MP3 dual mode: Bluetooth provides quick, stable wireless connections on land while the built-in MP3 player lets you listen underwater without a connected device.
• 32 GB onboard memory: Stores roughly 8000 songs in common formats like MP3, WAV, WMA, APE and FLAC so you can leave your phone behind for training sessions.
• Open-ear safety: Bone conduction transmits audio without blocking the ear canal, allowing you to hear traffic and ambient sounds during runs and rides.
• Clear calls and easy control: A built-in microphone and one-key controls let you answer calls and manage playback without removing the headset.

Who It's For

This headset is aimed at swimmers who want music during laps, runners and cyclists who need environmental awareness, and gym users who prefer a non-insert design. The secure fit and lightweight materials suit multi-hour workouts and daily wear.

It is less suitable for listeners who demand very strong bass or in-ear isolation; if you want sealed noise isolation or the deepest audio fidelity, in-ear or over-ear models will deliver better results than bone conduction.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Waterproof IP68 rating and MP3 mode make it genuinely usable for swimming workouts.

• Large 32 GB memory removes the need to carry a phone for music during training.
• Comfortable silicone and titanium build that stays in place during vigorous activity.

Cons

• Sound quality is mixed for some users; bone conduction can feel less full or slightly muffled compared with in-ear options.
• Bluetooth mode is intended for land use only, so wireless streaming is unavailable underwater.
