Can I use my own ear plugs and how long are they ear plugs? I want to attach to swim suit not a cap.

These are underwater headphones, so normal headphones won't work. They are slightly longer than the distance from the straps of your goggles to your ears. You might want to consider looking at the Amphibx Fit Swim Bundle if you want to attach this to your swimsuit. This is a great product that takes the boredom out of lap swimming!

No, the earbuds are built into the case (it comes with different size buds to fit to your ear) and the cords are about 8" long. They are specifically designed to attached to your goggle strap.

You cannot use your own because the earbuds are a part of the closed system that prevents water from getting in. The earbud cords are not really long enough to attach to something further than the area right around your head. But they are meant to attach to the goggles, not the swim cap.

no you cannot plug in earplugs, its better in your cap I duct tape the side handles closed after I insert one hair elastic on each side, I make a bun of my hair, then wrap the hair elastics around bun this keeps it on my head which is ideal as earpcs wires are fragile and short, if you swim and the ear pc wires are stressed a lot you will lose sound quickly ruining the gadget. but using this method mine last two years I swim 12 hrs a week

no, the ear plugs are permanently attached with their own waterproof gaskets. There is some slack when you have them in your ears so when you turn your head they don't come out of your ears.it doesn't attach to your swim cap, it attaches to your goggle strap on the back of your head. hope this helps.

The cord cannot be removed from the unit. They would not be long enough to be worn on a swimsuit. They are designed to wear on either goggles or a visor/hat.

No, the earplugs are integrated and they are designed to secure to your goggles, not suit. I position mine in the back & it doesn't bother me at all!

The earplugs are attached to the device so the only thing you can swap out ate the ear pieces. The cables from the container to the earpieces are long enough to allow you to clip it to your cap or goggles only.

No, they aren't long enough to attach to your suit, and you can't use your own earphones. You can, however, get an ipod Shuffle waterproofed. Just google it. Then you don't need a device and you can use your own earplugs.

I'm not sure if you can use your own ear plugs. But it comes with a few options for ear bud styles. I don't get water in my ears when I swim with it. The cords aren't long enough to attach to a suit. I have mine on my google straps and that works well.

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

I would use at your own risk...the headphones are their own separate deal, but the cap covers your ears decently so i would say there is plenty of room for use of them. The best way to get a great fit around your skin with the cap is to use one of those 'wig caps'...the nylon/pantyhose like thing that covers all your hair, then put the cap on. Water still seeps in a bit but it significantly changes the effectiveness of the cap fitting around the skin. :) Hope that helps. :) PS I am no expert swimmer, this is just what I have found w/ myself and I have shoulder length dreads.

They are not bendable. I have not tried to remove them. Based on these comments, I will attempt. I do not find them easy to keep over ears with swim cap on. I just shove them under the cap.

Yes you can use ear pods. There is a nice plug that unscrews so that you can insert ear pods into the supplied short extension cable socket.

It has a built in clip behind it which clips to your bathing suit or eye goggles. I clip it to my eye goggles on the top strap on the top of my head, wind the cord through the velcro, and have the ear buds coming out from the back of my head. I hope this helps!

These earplugs shouldn't be a problem for you. The foam the plugs are made from is very soft, and pliable; you can easily roll them, between your index finger and thumb, and squeeze them slightly, in order to shape them to fit into your ear canal. Once your insert them, they'll re-expand, and fill the canal. The pressure they'll exhibit should not be uncomfortable, even if your ear canal is smaller than most.

you can attach them to a bathing suit.if you order the ear buds from underwater audio the buds come in various sizes. you might need the longer cord depending on where you will attach it to your suit. it is a great item. i use it for swimming

There are are two screws - one in the case and a second attached to headphone adaptor, the adaptor allows you to plug your own earbuds in (unless they are really really skinny then they might fit- but will not be waterproof).

I just tried a pair of ear plugs (soft kind, bullet shape) and they fit perfectly. Just because the screw-on cap has some room in in, both ear plugs fit. Ear plugs 1.5 inches long each. So, interior of this container with the cap is about 3 inches.

The short cord that attaches to your goggles is approximately 18" from base of plug to base of earplugs. I've found it very comfortable, does not get in my way while swimming, but does not restrict my movement either.

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

I have small ears as well, so I'm always using the smallest adapters available, and at times, some of them are too big. That said, these fit me well, when using the smallest adapters. You have to make sure you use the smallest "wheel", and the smallest actual headphone cover. Also, make sure to use the rubber headphone covers and opposed to the "felt" cover. This combination works perfect for my small ears. I can wear these easily for 5 hours without them becoming uncomfortable, but after that, you do start to feel them, but for me anyway, that's the case with all earphones.

I have never attached it to cap or goggles, I have always attached it to the straps or the top of my bathing suit. It works because I am female. If I was male with trunks on, I would roll the cord of the earphones up and attach it to swimming goggles.

I use them for walking and haven't yet had an issue with them falling out. The rubber ear plug comes in two different sizes (that are included in your purchase) and you pick the one that fits the inner part of your ear canal. In fact I have to give them a gentle tug to remove them. I hope this helps.

You'd need huge ears for these to fall out on their own. As mentioned, a bigger concern is getting them out without leaving the plugs stuck in your ear. The fit is exactly the same as original Speedo earbuds without the earhooks. I used to keep a small crochet hook in my bag to remove the plugs from the center when they were stuck in my ear. In a pinch though, I use the temple tips of my eyeglasses to pry around the sides. It's best to just pull slowly while wiggling.
