Confused about what kind of ear plugs are best for swimming? Here’s what you need to know about choosing the best pair to keep your ears dry. I am thoroughly impressed with the Qshare Swimming Headband! It is by far the best designed ear band I have ever used. The fabric is soft and stretchy, making it very comfortable to wear. The band fits snugly around my head without feeling too tight, and the ear flaps keep the water out while I’m swimming. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who loves swimming! Wired vs. Bone Conduction:If you’re wondering why there are no wireless Bluetooth buds on this list, that’s because Bluetooth technology is essentially rendered useless once you’re submerged a few inches underwater. So in this case you have two options for in-ear buds: a traditional pair of wired earbuds that you can pair with a waterproof MP3 player, or waterproof earbuds with built-in music storage. There’s also a third kind for swimming—bone conduction headphones, which go over your cheekbones and use vibrations to transfer the sound to your ears. Though the sound quality is debatable for this type, it’s worth looking into if you’re not a fan of in-ear headphones. While we sometimes found the audio could be quite quiet, it was still very clear. Plus switching between channels both on the radio and headset was super simple – although to make it easier we’d have preferred it used numbers rather than a colour-coded system. Still, the headphones held in place well and we didn’t fear that they would suddenly fall off during laps or if we dove down (they work up to 3ft for 30 minutes or deeper for shorter bursts of time).

Even though the design of these wireless earbuds from Swimbuds aren’t the most stylish, if you’re a hardcore swimmer, that won’t matter. With 11 earbud tips in four different styles and a grippy ear hook design, these buds are sure to stay in place for your entire swim.

At first I used to see what I term (for want of a better phrase) dedicated swimmers wearing headbands whilst swimming. The material of the headband is water resistant, so it will not absorb any moisture and it won’t weigh down your hair while you run. These true wireless Bluetooth top our list because of their design (which doesn’t actually include anything in-ear), with unique streaming capabilities that don’t compromise on sound. Since Bluetooth can’t cut it underwater, and other swimming earbuds make you manually upload MP3s, this set comes with a transmitter (kind of like a walkie-talkie). When kept poolside, it sends a radio frequency to your headset while you’re in the water, letting you easily stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, and workouts directly from your phone.
