Hi all. Basically what the title says.

I’m looking for Bluetooth earbuds or IEMs that can be worn while swimming. I’m flexible on price if the quality lasts, but looking around the $50 range.

I’m open to neutral, bass-heavy, and mid-focus kinds. Really, anything that can be in water and allow me to listen to rock like Radiohead as well as electronic pop like Caroline Polachek would be awesome.

Thank you so much.

You might be better off asking a swimming community about that.

I will share one anecdotal experience: I used to have a Sony waterproof MP3/IEM combo, and I never could get a good-enough seal on it. Water eventually got in my ears and the sound got even more garbled. I can't swim right now due to scheduling conflicts (local pool has very limited open swim times), but if I were to return to the pool, I'd get bone-conducing players like the Shokz OpenSwim.
