It's a waste of good listening time if I can't find semi-decent somethings for the pool. I have a drybag for headphone attachment. I don't want to have to buy an mp3 player, just the phones. I will spend $40+, if I have to. The pickings look slim. Any swimmers out there?

Probably have to waterproof the whole head. Hard to let the drivers get music to the ears with water in between.

How would those work? I mean if you have a good seal you could be good to go, but when you swim there's constantly water moving and they could easily get pushed out. When the seal is broken, I don't see any way of hearing music from the drivers. Also, if water gets into the drivers........ I don't know.

I have a drybag that my mp3 player goes into. a drybag is water tight. Mine has a plug for the mp3 player. It came with junky waterproof headphones. Clear? I'm asking if anyone has used some that they were happy with. And yes, at my pool, U can use them.

What about those bone conduction headphones?

They look stupid and sound pretty bad, but what more do you really need while swimming?
