H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones are just what their name implies--submersible waterproof headphones. The package says they're recommended for surfing, swimming, kayaking, wakeboarding, snowboarding, and kitesurfing, and are waterproof in water up to 10 feet deep.

Since I don't do any of that stuff, I tested them out in my Jacuzzi for around 30 minutes total, submerging my head completely several times for several minutes at a time.

They work. You can listen to music, even when your head is completely immersed. But that's about all I can say for them. The sound quality is so-so, they're not particularly comfortable, and the coiled cable ("to eliminate tangles") is shorter than I'd have liked.

On the other hand, they suffered no harm from being under water for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.

Note: If you are interested in this product, you'll almost certainly be interested in the Otterbox waterproof iPod case (also reviewed today).

The Bottom Line

If you need headphones that can withstand being immersed in water up to 10 feet deep, look no further--H2O Audio Waterproof Headphones are just the ticket.
