Is there any sound loss or distortion with the tough version say opposed to the style or sport version being waterproof and all? (clearity and volume)

We only have the sport. The volume on it does not distort until the volume is at full peak. The weight of it is nice. Hence the better bass with magnet weight. It is only a jacket, so i cannot imagine there being a difference. Just a grill change.

Sorry I don't actually know the answer. I've only had the tough shell, but the sound quality is amazing.

I have gotten this thing pretty muddy and wet, not soaked, but wet. The thing is louder than hell, wouldnt hurt to wrap it in plastic bag either just to be safe. Id buy it again.

I had and still have a little problem with the sound. I haven't taken it under water so I can't give you an answer to the second question.

Yeah, the jbuds do sound a bir muffled to me. Well compared to my other in ear headphones. Just not very clear. I dont know its hard to tell. Its not super muffled like covering the speaker, but it is lacking in i "crispness" u could say

I found at the be far superior in quality, durability, and customer support which is very important. Try contacting Lifeproof about any support and they will spend more time trying to not support you then support you! I found out the hard way life proof only honors warenty if you purchase directly from them. If you want to see how durable the armor ones are go to YouTube and search on them. See the crazy stuff that has been done to them. I would of killed my phone easily 12-15 times now if I didn't have the case. The touchscreen is fine my daughters play all the games with no comaints and I can hear every call just fine. Obviously it would be louder with the case off but that is to be expected. I have them on all my phones now. I hope this helps.

no - go check out x-1 waterproof headphones - much cheaper and waterproof ( I swim a lot with them)

The only issue I had was the earpads. The red covering is a little loose. If you are referring an extended warranty, better safe than sorry. I have had no problems with the sound quality at all.

I compared the Fugoo to my mom's UE BOOM last night. The BOOM blows the Fugoo out of the water (louder, crisper sound, deeper bass, not as tinny at high volume) and it's $30 cheaper. I read about the firmware update that "makes it louder". I will try this and report back.EDIT - I upgraded firmware from 1.00.14 to 1.00.53 which enables "loud mode". It made no difference.

Scott, Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

To work out sure yes have a blast. Sweat, rain wont damage the headset. Dont drop it in the ocean lol.

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.

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

I have not compared them, but I own the Active2's and they are great. Im very surprised and happy about the sound quality...very good. And when I use them with my phone, no one complains that I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel...They are great!

The voice is very clear and has a volume control Button. As for waterproof I would have to say yes unless you drop it into water. I wear mine as a watch and hear it fine without raising my arm to my ear,

IT is not as loud. almost. however by getting a fully waterproof and shockproof speaker with a 40 hour battery i would say it is worth it. i own one and recommend it highly having lost two other bluetooths to water damage. if you get one you must go to the fugoo website to get the firmware update which makes it louder.

So far I have not gotten any complains about that. When you turn the volume up but you don't have it over your ears you definitely hear music clearly. Hope that helps!

I would say that it is slightly muffled and not as clear as using headphones. I listen to podcasts so high quality sound is not as important as it is with music. I like that it's connected to the bike and don't have to worry about it dropping and it allows me to listen safely
