How is the sound quality under water? And how long can they stay underwater?

Hi, Sony NWZW273S Walkman sound quality is great but may become muffled when headphone sections are not water-tight. D not exceed a depth of 2 m (6.5 feet) while wearing it. Before use, be sure to read and understand the water resistant specifications completely by going to https://docs.sony.com/release/NWZW273S_W274S_guide_EN.pdf -Vincent

The Swimbuds themselves do not carry a charge. The iPod's full battery life should last around 12 hours. -Underwater Audio Customer Service

yes works well, just under the water. Works 10 ft plus if the ear phones are in perfectly.

i've no clue, but i found they don't like being dropped in water either. i got a chirping sound every now and then and eventually got tired of the noise and bought a new one.

I got these for my husbands snoring to block it out. It did not work. It somewhat muffles the sound kinda like if you are under water and you can still hear all the loud noise in the pool area, it's just not as clear. For the price they are worth trying. The quality is very good. They are attached to something that can go around your neck. As far as quality I'd say excellent. Maybe I'm not inserting properly or my husbands snoring is unbearable. I can hear him in another room with my door shut and our bedroom door shut. Give them a try, they seem pretty nice quality. Very durable better than the foam for sure.

Haven't tried the mp3 aspect of it, but as far as the radio goes, the radio frequency gets interrupted by the water. If you go more than 1-2 feet below the water surface, the radio picks up a ton of static; any lower and you'll just get pure static. Also, a lot of times the ear buds aren't the best suited for blocking out water (yes, I know it's what they're supposed to do), and if there is any water leakage from the pressure of diving underwater, then your sound will be diminished significantly (as in, the sound coming through the ear buds will be muffled due to the water). Gets pretty annoying when only one ear bud leaks though since the sounds is clear on one ear, and muffled on the other lol.

Wow, these comments shock me, I love them! Battery life is probably 8 hours or so? The sound is great, it gets super loud, I've always used my computer which allows volume control from either the speaker or computer. If I max out the speaker and it's too low I can crank it up on the computer no problem. I've only used around the house, such as parties or working out in the yard, with the signal in the house, not sure on the distance. Sound quality is awesome, if you use batteries the sounds starts to get fuzzy as they die. I've had mine since 2011 and they still work fantastic!! Getting ready to take them camping so I was on here trying to remember what I can plug into it besides the computer. Wow, these comments shock me, I love them! Battery life is probably 8 hours or so?

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

I think sound quality is decent enough, specially when you put it into perspective that you are listening to music under water.

The earbuds are fantastic! The player works fairly good as well, the software is very simple. That being said when putting music on it out all individual music files into one or no folder on player. The player works great for about two hours of swimming before the jack gets water in it and you lose sound out of one ear BUT let it dry overnight unplugged and its is fine and ready to go for the next swim.

These are headphones that plug into the waterproof iPod shuffle from Underwater Audio. Work like regular headphones under water for lap swimming.

No it's just a Bluetooth headset, it does not work underwater but is water proof, and they're comfortable but not not extravagantly.

it does work underwater, but it's easier to listen to music than say books or podcast. I haven't had a problem with it working in the water, if it didn't work, i would have returned it, it is a little pricey but i would still recommend it.

I used them 2-3 days per week for lap swimming until they stopped working this week. I echo Craig's answer about making weird turns. Sometimes I also flood my ears when I exhale hard and the air bubbles put just enough odd pressure on one of the buds. I still like having them even with their quirks, until of course they died. they never went two meters deep, so I will try sending them in for warranty repair, but I'm not hopeful.

It is a good sound quality and I am satisfied so far. I like good clear crisp sound too. It has that but maybe not the rich deep base that you can get from a large box simply because of the size. But not bad, pound for pound it rocks! For a party? I might use my home system. But I got this speaker for the road to use on the beach, on the dock, and by the pool. It works perfect for that! Hope this helps! I am a satisfied user and use it often for convenient sound when I need it. I'm not sure about the water proof part, I have not got it really wet yet. I still avoid water the best I can with it.

I use them for djiing in short periods of time (40min-2hrs) and i haven´t had that kind of problem. On the contrary, after a while, basses get tighter, its my impression. The only issue i find is that the back of the speakers get hot after a while on high volume. But no compromising of sound quality at all. (Sorry for my english)

They are not specifically "marine" speakers but they are made of materials that will not be affected by moisture. Salt water is another story though.
