Know before you buy
Yes, the IP68 rating allows for submersion in water up to two meters deep for up to two hours. Because Bluetooth signals do not travel well through water, you will need to use the integrated MP3 player mode while swimming.
Not necessarily. The OpenSwim Pro features built-in MP3 storage, allowing you to load your music directly onto the device for phone-free workouts. Bluetooth connectivity is available for when you are on land and want to stream from your phone.
The open-ear design uses bone conduction technology to deliver sound through your cheekbones, leaving your ear canals completely open. While this provides excellent situational awareness for safety, you may notice less bass response compared to traditional in-ear noise-canceling headphones.
You can expect up to 9 hours of continuous playback on a full charge. If you are in a rush, the quick charge feature helps you get back to your music faster.
Yes, the wraparound titanium frame is designed for a secure, ergonomic fit. They are engineered to stay in place during vigorous movement, making them suitable for running, cycling, and other intense training sessions.
Yes, the headphones are equipped with a breathable microphone designed to capture your voice clearly. You can take calls via Bluetooth when connected to your smartphone.
