I have three of them. One for my son and one that I have charged up in case mine runs out of battery in the middle of a long workout or if I forget to charge one pair. They announced a Openswim Pro coming out in Q2 or Q3 of this year. Supposed to have 32GB and Bluetooth (for land) so you can use them on land instead of just in the water. I don't know if I'll get the Pro since I already have other earbuds for outside the water. These will probably come down in price when the Pro releases.

After running and cycling in open headphones I can't see myself going back. I never went full volume anyway but the ability to hear what's up is pretty key to me. That would be epic if they'd combine the mp3 and bluetooth, I'd happily sell my OpenSwim and OpenRun just to have one device. And I hear ya about the charging, I've got my charger set just by the door, so when I'm done they go straight back on it :)

Problem with not using ear plugs is that the sound of water moving past and in your ear dampens the sound clarity. With ear plugs, the sound is actually quite good. Think good headphone sound just muffled a bit. The bass is strong and the treble is a bit muted. Especially on longer swims, they’re a must for me now.

I've tried this last week, it does sound better when they're fully in! However, with my oddly shaped ears most plugs pop out quickly. Including surf ears I've used forever when surfing. Need to deep dive into better ones I guess!

I bought the OpenSwim Pro model and went for my first swim with them last week. I was BLOWN AWAY.... I did not expect them to be so freakin' good. These are nearly perfect. It would be nice to have a playlist editor for the mp3s, but that is it's only shortfall.

its a pitty they have no BT and the internal storage at the same time - I was looking for something I can use while swimming and cycling (with BT connectivity while cycling so I can listen to on-line media...).

I agree! I've ended up owning both - OpenSwim and OpenRun Pro for that reason but it looks like they'll release OpenSwim V2 later in the year with both mp3 and BT - I'll defo get a pair and drop a review here. This way I can shift both of the other ones.

The band that goes behind your neck is what really takes my attention due to it being possibly taken off by the water when you are diving, I'm planning to buy it to use it during swimming competitions so I could get myself hyped up when swimming, I'd like to know if it stays on if you dive head first into the water in a streamlined position and with currents caused by constant heavy splashing when doing some swimming strokes.

I can't tell if they'll stay when diving from a certain height but given that they're staying on my head during pretty significant wipeouts when kitesurfing and surfing I'd say so!

They are, depends of course how you wear your goggles and what kind but mine kinda go just above the ear and upwards if that makes sense so they don't interfere with headphones. So you're good there :)

@@bazslade6456 I don't know what to say, but that hasn't been my experience at all. They work fine for ocean swims, but in the pool they just don't seem to be able to handle the flip turns, at least for me, and I'm no longer 20 so my speeds, and distances, are reduced. (5/6K every day is a great distance!) For the pool I use the Finis Duo. They attach to the goggle straps and therefor don't have any problems with flip turns.
