As a triathlete, the one thing I find the hardest is making it to the pool for 2000-4000+ yard days. Especially when you're training at Z2 in a 25 yard pool. You're just going back and forth hoping maybe you'll swallow a little water along the way or something to make things interesting.I was jumping up and down like kid when I found Amazon sells swimming headphones. Still I was on the fence, because I can't even keep ear plugs in my ears, so how would these stay in. Well they arrived and I went straight to the pool after charging and loading some music and podcasts. Here is what I found.1st - The sound is surprisingly good, I know some reviews said they don't sound that great so I was expecting something awful but really they sound no different than any other headphones in the 20-30 market.2nd - They provided ear plugs that look like exactly like my swimming ones, and they work well enough that I don't have an issue with water getting in my ear. I did need to use the larger ones. The smaller ones fit well, but I couldn't hear anything under water. More on that later.3rd - The fit is very good. I always wear a swim cap in the pool because Chlorine really dries my skin out and a cap keeps my scalp from flaking. I put the headphones on, and have the back part of the swim cap over the black band. This method has provided a secure fit for miles on end.4th - The swim with music.... It's awesome...….. To be able to listen to music while swimming, it's almost relaxing and makes the time go by much, much faster.I noticed the first time I tried them with the smaller ear plugs, which were very secure while land locked, the sound lasted until I hit my first lap. Then it became muffled, you could hear it but not great. I decided the next day to try out the larger pair, even though on land they would barely stay in my ear.What a difference, the sound was very clear under water and I had zero issue of them coming out. I'm a bilateral breather and had no problem on either side. I'm guessing the larger size prevents water from intruding and messing up your tunes.5th - Battery life is excellent, I can spend 3 hours in the pool and they never once complained or shut off. While my intention was to not use them for running, I actually find them very comfortable and have taken them out for a few long runs.So all in all, I'm impressed. They have far exceeded what I was expecting so for that they get my 5 stars.

I slapped this puppy on the first day I got it and hit the pool. The excitement of hearing music underwater was overwhelmingly awesome. I immediately hit my laps, but noticed water would seep in both sides. No problem. I read the manual and exchanged the ear buds with the largest size. Solid. In fact it was solid for about three weeks. I swam with them every. single. day. And even followed the care instructions of cleansing and drying them after each use ... to the T! Then came day 22 of use. The once invigorating sound of music to my ears was exchanged with screeching noises on my 2nd lap. It was like the sound a discman made when a CD skipped (for those who remember using those) . I took a pause and tried to sort this out. Maybe I forgot to charge the battery enough, or maybe the files were corrupt?Suddenly it worked again. Lap 3 the ghoulish screech returns. ‘Good lord, can I just get 20 more laps with music please’ I said to myself. The Flextreme responded with a final static sounding garbled and went silent. I think it was it’s way of saying something to me that starts with an F and ends with ‘you’. The green light turned off. Hmm, I guess the battery died. I them pulled my mental strength together and returned to the medieval times of swimming without music. It was sad and lonely. How the hell did I do this for so many years? I dragged the heavy 2 ounce device back to my house for a good ol cleaning and charge. I gave this puppy the whole treatment, like a husband taking his wife to shopping with a side of salon time. I charged it overnight. This was a friyay, my night out, so we’re talking a good 12 hours charge. The next morning I tried it out. The green light flashed, no flags went up, I was turning and burning and hoping for a sound, and I finally got ... more screeching. I wasn’t going the distance today. I brought to the pool thinking maybe it will magically work. Nope. Not only did the screeching go away, there was no more green light. Power ceased to exist like a javelin going through a Terminator’s heart. Luckily my beat friend throughout this whole process, Amazon, accepted my return within the short time having it. I feel bad for all those beyond Amazon’s timeline after reading the reviews of Pyleusa’s ‘awesome’ response rate when it comes to defective products. In short, this product had great expectations, but short lived ... at least for me.

The sound is fine but what I really like about this player which I got to use at the gym, is how easy it is to use. The control buttons are far enough from one another that you can easily make any adjustment like volume or play the next track. The fit is also good and I would rate this player better than what Sony has to offer. I will update this review in three or four months. I highly recommend it. I registered it tonight and got a 1 year warranty.This is an updated review (1/1/19). I have used this unit this about four days a week for the last two months at the gym and it has performed great. The charge-up time is brief and the sound is fine for the gym. Once the battery was low, the unit has a built- in warning sound to alert you that the battery is low.....nice. The 8gb capacity is really nice, I have only used about 1gb so far and that is more than enough music for my 1 hour to 1.5 hour workout. Overall, I am very happy with this unit and as I said before it is a very good unit for the money and is much more convenient than walking around at the gym with your phone.

Nice product, great presentation good performance it last with me about 2 yearrs only suddenly stop working, is charging, but then doesn't turn on anymore. Hard to find head phones with internal memory, it is OK I liked it, I wish last longer,I bought blootooth sony for the same price or less, and those are still working perfectly after over 7 years of use, Sony is really good quality. This pyle are just ok, not sure what happened to them,.

I never knew such a thing as these existed till I saw someone at the pool wearing headphones for their swim. I did a little looking about and settled on these based on the specs and the sheer volume of reviews. I did not expect much for the price and felt that if I could hear anything worth a darn while I swam it would be worth the money.Pros- Where to start? This was a real game changer. My first thought while swimming was, “These actually work!” Second thought, “Man, that sounds really good!” Next thought,” “This is so damn fun!” (Swimming to my tunes). I had created a playlist and the CPU recognized the unit so it was as simple as “move to” and done. The buttons are easy to use and find. The instructions are simple (though there are some typos). Only once did I have a bit of water make it past the earbuds and a simple shake took care of that. 8GB of music is almost too much. I loaded maybe 800-900 songs and still have room to go. The price? Considering the quality of sound and the wicked fun these brought to my swim I would think paying twice what I did would still be a good deal. Clear, full range sound being the most surprising pro.Cons- I cannot speak to the longevity of these. I relied on other reviews that appeared to indicate they had them for a long time. Folks complain about them falling out when “kick-flips”…can’t speak to that either but a little lift of the ear when you insert the bud and those things were snug for me. The biggest con I can see is the (innovative) USB clip. Without it you are hosed. I plan to try and find some replacements as I hope to have this for a while and suspect I will lose that damn clip before then. There is no alternative. Not a big deal but without it you cannot use the phones.Bottom line- I am beyond happy with these. They exceeded my expectations in sound quality and are such a great price I felt like these were a bargain. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend a purchase to anyone.

Transferring files is incredibly easy and these headphones are loud. I switched to the swimming bugs and the volume was reduced by over 40%, and I wasn't even in water yet, I was just getting them ready for swimming. Which is the main purpose of this purchase. I have a lot of great quality headphones for land use, whether it's for easy music listening to even working out, so I don't need another loud headset. I jumped in the water, deep into 10ft thanks to the IP8, and they didn't break but kept working.So here's the good: sound doesn't go much lower under water, it stays the same 40%, I expected to go lower but it didn't. Sound never cut off, buttons were responsive.Now the bad: audio reduction was my deal breaker, as perfect it would be for them to be loud as 'on land' use I didn't expect that low of a reduction. To give you an example out of 1-10 with 10 being the loudest, switching earbuds for Swimming goes down to 4 on loudest and it remains there under water, I kind of expected a mere 2 under so I gave it props for not dropping lower under water. But if you're seeking quality loud sound underwater, you won't find it here. Even if you did laps swimming, the audio is still reduced. Also be advise that if you thrust hard in water, one piece will flung out of your ear, so if you wear goggles use them over the headphones to keep them better in place.The price is a tad high for workout features and if you sweat like crazy you're naturally covered with this, I mean it's 'swim proof', so you can try drowning in sweat and be fine. It is loud for surface activities, but so are Bluetooth headphones that cost 20 bucks or less with sweatproof features (not waterproof).The main bonus is the on board internal memory of 8Gs, it makes a lightweight travel companion to the gym, running, cycling etc since everything is store inside. For that feature I'll happily bump it up to 30 bucks, but 60? Not really.Like stated before, solid headphones with onstore memory, Bluetooth connectivity and able to submerge under water. My rating is purely on sound quality under water. I dunno if this is natural, or if they're meant to sound like that or if other devices are similar or better, I just know that it doesn't cut it for me. Happy buying.

I use this MP3 player during lap swimming and I love it. I’d like to address a few thing from other reviews that almost made me pass on these.1. Only one side seems to work after awhile - I did notice that occasionally it seemed like one side would stop working but I realized it was because water would sneak in my ear and muffle the sound. All I had to do was pull them out of my ear, let the water out and then the sound was fine again.2. Adding music is difficult - I used google to buy some music and used google play to create a play list. The MP3 player has a super easy clip to USB cord so I transferred the music easily and all my songs have played well.3. They fall off or aren’t suitable for lap swimming - I’ve swam for hours and had no issues. I tuck the band under my cap and fix my goggles so that they are partially over the band as well. I learned that they don’t have to be super tight in my ears because if the band is secure then they aren’t going anywhere.I plan to buy a second pair now for my daughter because we like them so much.

I've owned 4-5 pairs of these over the years, and they used to be GREAT. But apparently, they couldn't leave well enough alone and had to make CHANGES to them that have SEVERELY depleted the quality.Here's what you can expect.THE GOODI've owned several of these over the years, wearing them almost exclusively as my "water" headphones and they are fantastic in that capacity. On the water, under the water, chlorine pool, saltwater ocean--doesn't matter, you get good sound no matter what. Is it as good as my PowerBeats Pros? Probably not. But I also can't wear my PowerBeats at the bottom of the pool (or anywhere in the pool for that matter) and these are a fraction of the cost.It's also pretty easy to load with music. You just hook it up to your computer via USB, and drag and drop the mp3 files. 8gb is enough for around 1000 songs. Once you're wearing it, it's easy to control once you know where the buttons are.Battery life is solid. I think the 10 hours that are advertised is about right. I've taken these on vacation and these last all day at the beach. Recharge usually takes a few hours.THE BADThe charging cable is pretty unique--I don't think it's proprietary because I've had similar chargers with similar earbuds, but it's also not something you'll be able to pick up at Wal-Mart if you lose it.The simple controls come at a cost as well. You can either play the songs you have in the order they are on your player, OR you can randomize your songs. When you power it off/on it'll start wherever you left off. So if you have a lot songs on your player, and you just heard it--it might be a while until you hear it again. In the same vein, random means random--NOT we'll play every song once until we go through them all. Normally, this isn't an issue, but every now and then you'll get a wonky random sequence that will repeat songs that you already heard. If you want a specific song, you're pretty much at the mercy of the player as to when you'll hear it.THE UGLYThe band that connects each earphone is pretty awful. The band USED to be a nice stiff-but-flexible wire that made it easy to mold the earphones to your specific head shape and ears--especially when it was on your head. You basically bent it to wear the way it was the most comfortable, and that was it--it would stay that way until bent significantly in another direction. Now, it's all springy, rubbery, and weird and you can't really adjust it. Plus the actual ear bud can have a tendency to pop out of your ear now because the band wants to spring back to its original position. The old band was better by a country mile.My first few pairs of these, I would get around 2-3 years of use before they gave out. While that isn't really the best, given the frequency I used them and the price I paid for them--I found it acceptable. I don't know what changes they made, but now my LAST two pairs have lasted a couple MONTHS. One pair, no matter what button you pushed--volume, power, whatever--each button would only advance the song. The other pair reached a point where no matter what button you pushed, it would beep. Both pairs would eventually just stop working altogether.OVERALLMy original review for these was four stars, but they've honestly ruined most of qualities that were attributed to that review, so now its this one. These USED to be my go-to headphones that had unmatched capabilities in the water. Now they're pretty much junk. I won't be buying a 6th pair.

Love it. Once you get it right in your ear in the pool, which I did quickly, it works really well. Really easy to add music. Makes swimming so much more enjoyable. Swimming much further as a result.

Cumple con el propósito, sin embargo es algo frágil, la batería dura bastante, los botones multifuncionales están duros pero no representan una molestia, el mio comenzó a dar problemas de encendido y apagado, bastó con fijar los auriculares a la diadema para solucionarlo, cómodos y muy ligeros.

It has suddenly stopped working

Used for half an hour. So far everything is good. Button responsive, sound quality ok, comfort is good. I'll say value for money.

If you are like me it can be boring doing lane swimming but with this kit it makes it more fun listening to music. It sits very comfortably in the ears and around the back of my head and doesn't move when you are swimming. Music quality is very good and gave no issues at all
