Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Aquapac 100% Waterproof Headphones - Headphones ( in-ear ear-bud )
Customer Review: Great (with a headband)
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones work great. However, it took me a while to figure out how to keep them in my ears! The solution that finally worked was to use the Large EAR BAND-IT headband.
Large Blue EAR BAND-ITŪ neoprene headband.
The sound quality is great, but you have to keep the water out of your ears to make these work well. This is done by keeping a good seal between the headphone and your ear canal. This is a problem if you are swimming because your arm may bump your ears or the cord gets stuck to your skin and gives a light tug on the headphone.
So, without a headband, these just didn't work for me. I tried a swimcap, and this MOSTLY worked for me. I did have to turn the headphones upside down however, as the swim cap put pressure UPWARD, towards the top of my head and would cause the headphones to spring outward (the bottom of them is a solid plastic tab leading into the cord).
The EAR BAND-IT worked perfectly in two ways. 1) It keeps pressure inward only, so that keeps the headphones pressed into my ears. 2) You can wrap the cord around the headband (1 time) as a pressure relief. As I said, the cord sometimes sticks to your wet skin, giving a small tug. That small tug can break the seal with your ear, so if you wrap it around the headband it doesn't pull directly on the headphones.
Overall, I give this product 5 stars because it works as advertised and I really like using it. I knew from reviews here that "keeping it in your ear" is a problem, but there are several solutions and you just need to find one that works for you.
