Best Waterproof Headphones For Clear Sounds
FINIS DUO BONE CONDUCTION HEADPHONES FOR SWIMMING
⭐ Best waterproof headphones for clear sound
The FINIS Duo was the first bone-conduction headphones for swimmers that delivered crisp, clear, and booming sound.
Originally called the FINIS Neptune, the Duo pumped music through the cheekbones into the ears and ditched the earbud design of competing waterproof MP3 players for swimmers.
The FINIS Duo holds around 1,000 songs in its 4GB hard drive, plays MP3 and WMA audio, and is rated IPX8, waterproof to a depth of 10 feet for up to 30 minutes.
While other devices have surpassed the FINIS in recent years in storage capacity and slim profile, including FINIS’ own Amnis, the Duo holds a place near my chlorinated heart thanks to the booming sound quality and incredibly clear bone conduction.
The control buttons on the side of the Duo make it easy to skip through songs, shuffle your playlist, or, as happened recently at the pool, quickly pause my playlist to hear a lifeguard give me the “last call” warning that lap swim was nearly over.
Other waterproof headphones provide a slimmer, less clunky design, and the Duo has about half the storage capacity of competing MP3 players for swimmers.
The FINIS Duo is less expensive compared to the OpenSwim, H20 Audio TRI, and the FINIS Amnis, and it gets high marks for durability, with my Duo looking (and working) almost as new after five years of consistent use.
