will these work over water where there is poor cellular phone reception?

Yes. These will do very well on water where line of sight is unobstructed. Love mine.

Absolutely NOT !!These flashlights are waterproof meaning that if some rain falls on them they may still work. Do not put in water.

Honestly we never really used them near water, however we did use them in wet weather.They work just fine.

My guess is that they would work OK. The ear cushions and headband are covered with a plastic that seems to resist water.

I have not used in a boat, but I would assume it would work great as long as the antennae has a clear view of the sky

They would probably work, but you do need to keep the surface wet by constantly running a stream of water over the surface. It would most likely work dry too, but the pads will wear out quickly. Use a slow speed, especially if you do it dry.

I find reception good. I'm a jogger so have not used under water. Great reception on trails. Also, I switched ear plugs and use my Sony buds. Works well.

I just bought a pair for swimming. The signal cut out almost immediately after i put my head in the water. Funny because the bluetooth receiver is on the right ear. It only worked when i turned my head to the right for a breath. Other than that, they didnt work in the water at all. They worked fine testing them around the house.

I believe that they would work. However, there is a dongle that transmits the signal. That transmitter is about 1/4 the size of an iPhone. I don't think you would want it dangling off your phone. It's not as much of a big deal when you have it plugged into a receiver. I would recommend bluetooth headphones with an iPhone.

Sure, they'll work, if all you want to do is listen through them. They don't have an inline microphone or controls, so if you want to use them on a call, you'll still have to raise the phone to your mouth in order for the other person to hear you.

Don't think so..they were bought for inside auto installation not on a boat so probably not as moisture resistant as "Marine Speakers" would be. Would probably work in marine installation for a while, but not long.

No, I do not believe for a minute these could be used in marine, underwater or heavy water environment. Just don't believe it is possible. Moisture ok perhaps, but not exposed to direct water or immersion.

I am using them outside on the Oregon coast and they work without issue. Not sure of an area that would get more rain than here.

NO! You can get them a "little" wet i.e. swimming pool splash by accident but drop them in the water and say goodbye. They are great little radios but as they say "you get what you pay for". I believe they make water-proof soft plastic covers for them. Good luck David! Allen K.

My experience with them would suggest that they will not work. If you have a frame home perhaps. Our home is constructed of block and stucco. Range is limited to about 20 feet max. from the outside ringer and signal does not penetrate interior walls. I hope this helps.

The antenna presumably can but I would not think the usb adapter would do well exposed to water. Although I set mine up and used it for a couple of days the software that came with it had an issue with Win8.1 so I abandoned it and put it in my store room of junk

Yes, and it will work as long as its close enough to the ringer. The range is nothing close to the claimed distance if you have any significant solid structures between them.
