Waterproof headphones /w Waterproof iPod case.
The waterproof H2O Case now comes with waterproof headphones. I wonder what the cans sound like.

Sorry to ask, but why do people need to listen to music underwater? Is it a special experience, or just boring underwater?

I think it's geared more to listening to music around water, like in a swimming pool, hut tub, or shower.
BTW, Why wouldn't you listen to music underwater if you could? That would be cool.

I suspected it would be for watersports related activity usage, however there are flash player housings rated for 200ft.
Yes it would be cool, but personally I think music would be a little distracting for me in a scuba dive. Perhaps I should go diving one day and find out.

growing up, a friend of mine had a pool with underwater speakers... it was freakin' weird. because of the way the soundwaves traveled in water, there was no soundstage, per se. the music just sort of "existed" in the water.

I know guys who are construction divers (Gulf Coast oil rigs etc.) and there may be safty issues around listening while at work. Used to dive myself and listening while under sounds great but.........

I would love to experience underwater headphones. I would also love to experience underwater headphones that are actually good. Now that is a challange, getting all the noise of having ones body & motion & force in water canceled out of the system. Maybe I could invent a chemical adative to swimming pools so that they would be sonicly neutral to the human body, IE: none of that "underwater sound" when you are underwater, it would sound just like you were in a nice peacful glen, with grass blowin' & everything.

If you put on your sealed canal phones (as these appear to be from the link) then as long as the seal stayed tight, you shouldn't have any problems with water getting in and changing the sound...
Might be a fun thing to have whilst swimming for excercise.... though you'd look a right pillock!!!

EDIT: meant "you" as in "a non-specific person who may in the future purchase these headphones", not as in "you specifically who've posted about them"

Stew, this is just my interpritation of the situation, but...I don't think headchange4u has those canalphones, I think he was just posting about them & how he wonders how they sound, also...they certainly would be effected by being in contact with water, just the way your body is when you are under water. In fact I would say that wearing canalphones is very similar to being completley submerged in water, the sound anyway, so I would think wearing canalphones while swimming would be even more so of an experience that amplifies little bumps & shimmeys in your body & the motion that causes those bumps & shimmeys.

It looks like Challenger claims that you can swim with these canalphones: http://store.yahoo.com/earplugstore/chmisearph.html
"...You can even swim with these phones!"
Interesting...anybody want to put it to the test?

That is another thing about swimming compatable headphones that bothers me, I know that I would mess them up. I wouldn't get a good enough seal or my arm would catch on their cord and yank them too their doom.

I want to float isolated in the tank from the movie Altered States while listening to my rig.

Haha, it could be very theraputic, floating weightless in water listening to music. I guess it would all depend on what you were listening to!

Oh, oh, and what if you added a big subwoofer in the water so that the water would thump into your body along with the music, actually presureing everyspot of your body along with the bass in the music.
