These earphones worked for about 6 months then died a sudden death.  I find them to be very expensive for such a short life span.

So far I find it very stiff and uncomfortable.  Hurts the ear

The headphones worked great for about 4 months going swimming about twice a week for a few hours each time.  Then all of a sudden the headphone stop working completely.  I can't imagine both left and right side going out at exactly the same time so I have to assume it's a bad connection(actually no connection) somewhere in the plug.

I just purchased H2o Audio Surge Waterproof Headphones to see if they last longer.  If not, I guess listening to music will be out of the water.

I've used the h2 model of these headphones for the past 2 years.  When I got the new h3 model, I was extremely pleased with the overall sound quality - the improvement was drastic.  I know to be extremely careful with the headphones.  Although my i-pod nanos waterproof housing is 3 years old, I've had to replace the h2 models headphones every 9-10 months.  The h3 model headphones only lasted 3 1/2 months before the sound got raspy and started cutting out.  Since I was so careful with these, I was surprized that they didn't last longer.  At a price of over $40, it would cost me over $120 a year in headphones!!!   Needless to say, I have delayed future purchases even though I do plan to buy new headphones at some point.

- not comfortable
- not needed unless you swim under water

The H2O Audio waterproof Headphones are generally OK but they are frustratingly weak in the earbud department. They continue to pop out of ones ear canal causing water to enter and greatly degrade the audio sound. The plastic headband is even worse. I had to remove the earbuds from the band to gain performance. Possibly adding different sized earbuds to the kit would be helpful, for what they charge for the item.
