The best I found were cheap Chinese bone conductors with internal storage but even then they were not worth the trouble. There's just too much turbulent mayhem going on to get a good sound. I swim with a cap now so I may revisit something with earplugs but overall I find zen just listening to my stroke for imperfections.
I have decent bone phones that are water resistant and I'm mostly keeping my head above water for now. I'm going to test the range on the Bluetooth for my phone soon, but if there's something that can come in the water with me that'd be great
Sorry friend but bluetooth doesn't work a millimeter under water. The signal is too attenuated to be useful. Bluetooth itself has VERY little penetration power and water is VERY dense.
Yeah so I won't be underwater with the bones phones (they're only resistant) I'm just using a kickboard for leg rehab - phone will be pool side and I'm hoping the 10m distance allows me to use them. If not, waterproof option for the emitting device is ideal
YMMV but I found bluetooth to just be untenable.
Fair dos. When I'm swimming proper I'll look into a fully contained waterproof option. Thanks for your input!
