MP3 headphones for swimming:Aftershokz xtrainerz review

Aftershokz is no stranger to the bone-conduction headphones field with a range of wireless headphones that are ideally suited if you hate the idea of placing earbuds in your ears while still desiring the freedom that over-ear headphones just don’t provide.In the case of the Aftershokz Xtrainerz, these are solely designed with the audio experience in mind and, primarily, aimed at swimmers because they make most sense when you’re underwater. Audio quality is pretty good for what they offer although – again – these aren’t headphones for relaxing at home with. The Aftershokz Xtrainerz are decidedly for the active user.Today, this article will reviewAftershokz Xtrainerz by collecting some real reviews from users.

“I CANNOT live without my AfterShokz. It's not a joke. I'm a swimmer and my life is divided between before AfterShokz and after AfterShokz. I can't imagine myself swimming without it anymore. So, when I had a problem with my headphone last year (there was no sound on one of the sides), I immediately contact customer support. They told me to send it and they will replace it with a new one. Before I send my headphone, I bought another AfterShokz because, as I said, I can't live even one single day without my headphone. When I got the new AfterShokz, I could send the old one. Now, I have two headphones and I'm a super happy swimmer. The end.”

“I have been looking for a pair of headphones for swimming for a decade. Aftershokz has created such a beast. I put them on, strapped on my goggles, pushed play and that was it. No fiddling, no fussing, just Alex, Geddy, and Neal to serenade me to 20 minutes of swimming laps. That is the first time ever I swam with music without it being a complete pain.

Aftershokz is fantastic. I ask if I could buy their product on Amazon. The next day the headphones were on Amazon. They answered all my questions quickly and even sent a manual without me asking. Buy them!!!”

“Do you know any other sound player without fast forward and backward? It is almost as important as a volume button. To skip things, to repeat, or to start at minute 30, because you heard the beginning. I spent hours searching manuals and literature, I thought this s not possible, it is my mistake, I was wrong and just did not find fast forward.

When I continue listening the next day's swim, it usually does NOT pick up where we stopped. Oh, how important would a fast forward be, when it picks up 25 minutes earlier than when we stopped

The paint seems very cheap, see the photo. But so far that did not cause any problems.

Otherwise, excellent. Loud, clear, small, streamlined. So sad they did not think it through. Not everyone listens to 3 minute music clips. I am going back to my old Sony player. That player, like all others, is much worse, not loud enough, but fast forward and backward.

I do have a Bluetooth swimming headphone too, if slightly in the water, it stops working even if the phone is 8 meters away only.”

“These are amazing. I was a little skeptical, but they exceeded my expectations. Charging and file transfer (MP3) were easy with a PC. Operation is simple. Comfort is acceptable but not great. Sound quality was really good and amazing underwater while swimming. They stay in place without a swim cap and never moved. I can easily see wearing these for other types of workouts and biking. Would be cool if they also were Bluetooth, but knew that going into purchase. Would recommend.”

“This product perfectly fits the bill for my swimming needs. I have very much hearing impaired, so I never know if a headset will work for me. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was plenty loud enough for my needs. The manufacturer also has WONDERFUL customer service: very responsive and quick!”

“The best investment I’ve ever made in swimming. Sound is clear and smooth. Not once in an hour did I stop to fiddle with my headphones like before. (Speedo aqua beats were 15 years old, still work but headphones were the problem.) I choose these over another brand based on reviews, warranty and support. Great investment.”

“I have two reviews for this product:

1. Just get high (whatever that means for you) and just wear these things in the shower. I guarantee you'll feel like you're in a movie. When have you ever heard music so clearly while you were taking a shower??? Even like, when you're washing the shampoo out?

2. When I got a bougie above-ground pool during the pandemic, I bought a pair of these headphones to use in the pool. And, dang! (I mean let's be real, the UX/UI kinda sux... like, where are you gonna find unlocked MP3's??? Your iMac from 12 years ago? Bruh.) BUT! In terms of "hey! This thing I bought from Amazon actually still works! Like, even a year later! I mean, I guess by today's standard, that's an exceptional product. I've used it now for 2 seasons of summer swimming, and it still works as well as the day I bought it. Battery life: Great! Controls, etc.... all still great. I bought a pair for my Mom she uses at the YMCA everyday and even that terrible old lady has figured them out and is still enjoying them.”

“I bought this direct from there website, but thought I'd write a review here. I had the titanium version from the same company but find these significantly more comfortable.

-note: these headphones seems very aimed towards the swimming community, so I was skeptical if these were going to sound ok for above water. They actually have two different sound quality modes, one for swimming and one not. I don't swim very often with them but the sound quality while running is great and is loud enough as well.

- I occasionally run on trails, and its nice to be able to hear something coming, or bikers.

- I primarily bought this because I occasionally get stuck in the rain, or want to jump in the ocean during a run.

-Also I don't like having to connect to my phone,

or watch for music so on-board storage is a plus.

-There is a physical power button, which is a bonus because those earbuds with ayto”

“I had the sony headphones for swimming and they lasted me years (still going strong!). However, they allowed occasional water in and one of my ears doesn't let the water out easily leading to issues. I decided to take a chance on these and wear them with my own custom earlplugs (they do come with earplugs as well) and they work GREAT! I put them under my swim cap by my ears, but not under my goggles and they stay in place well. My head is on the smaller side and they fit great with no issues. They are loud enough, louder than the sony headphones are. Love these and highly recommend them if you are considering headphones for swimming.”

“I truly loved the Xtrainer headphones, and talked many people into buy them. I'm somewhat sorry about that now. They stopped working as I was charging them. They would playback through the computer, but not through the headset. Very disappointing. Even so, I'm thinking of buying them again. Just so disappointing. Although I bought them in November of 2019, because of covid I only used them possibly 10 times. That makes their lack of customer service so much more discouraging. The product has some great engineering tech. That doesn't help you if you run into any kind of problems. Buy them. Try to enjoy them, and pray they work.”

According to the user review of Aftershokz xtrainerz MP3 Swimming Headphones, it is a good swimming audio product that can satisfy users. But at the same time, it also has some problems: Its MP3 capacity is not enough, only 4G.It is an MP3 headphone without Bluetooth mode, which means that it is suitable for few scenes.If you want to find a multifunctional audio device suitable for swimming or various sports scenes, Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones with both Bluetooth mode and MP3 mode are a cost-effective substitute.

It is a swimming headphone worthy of your consideration. Although its name is Hi Runner,it has an IPX8 waterproof rating higher than the industry standard, which allows it to work normally during swimming and diving.This also shows that it has many use cases and high practicability. It can be used not only for swimming, but also for activities of daily life, such as running, hiking and other exercise.

After all, it is a headphone that needs to be charged, and you may worry about whether its battery life is strong enough.Its battery life is very strong, it can be used continuously for 10 hours, and it supports magnetic fast charging,which takes only 2 hours to fully charge.As a result, it is able to accompany the swimmer throughout the swim.

Hi Runner uses a 5.0 Bluetooth chip for smoother connectivity.However,when you use Bluetooth mode while swimming, because there is still a certain distance between the connected device and the headphone,so the connection may be poor and the sound will be intermittent.Don't worry,Hi Runner equipped with 32G built-in storage, which can store 5000 songs, and supports two working modes of Bluetooth and MP3. In the scene of underwater sports or without a mobile phone, you can completely use it as a Bluetooth MP3 player.

When it comes to fit and comfort, the Wissonly Hi Runner features an adjustable aerospace-grade titanium frame that can accommodate different head sizes and also works well with swimming glasses and swimming caps, ensuring a stable fit. The headphone surface is made of high-tech, low-sensitivity silicone material, free from any chemical components, to avoid allergic reactions. The overall feel of the headphones is as smooth as a baby's skin, preventing discomfort during extended wear. Moreover, weighing less than 30g, they are lightweight and won't feel burdensome.

Wissonly products have strong performance and good quality.Hi Runner only costs $99,99, it's the best value for money among sports bone conduction headphones with comparable performance.
