 Close, but early failure October 1, 2008
This is the third set of waterproof headphones I have used for my exercise lap swimming. I thought these were the ones that would work. They were much improved over the H2 earphones I had used earlier. The H3 earphones fit, I could hear the music while swimming, the coiled cord reached my iPod on my waistband but did not move around while swimming. However, after about six months of use the left ear began cutting out, a few weeks later the right ear also failed. The warranty is 3 months. This was the same type of failure I have with a set of H2O audio h2 headphones a year ago.
Being curious I dissected the headphones. The wires are very thin and have lacquer type insulation. The motion of my head while swimming wore through the insulation shorting out the earphone. This was the same failure as I had with the H2 earphones.
One other item, when the H2 earphones failed I sent emails to H20 Audio to tell about the insulation problem. I never received a reply from H20 Audio.
Based on two failed products the next set of swimming earphone I purchase will not be from H20 audio.
 Probably Best out there September 30, 2008
They work okay underwater but the connection from the headset to the base unit is rather inconsistent. I have to twist the cable and base to get to work correctly. It the connection stays put underwater you still have to deal with the muffled sound pretty often. The thing is there aren't many underwater ipod nano 3rd gen units out there so I am happy that I own this one. One more thing.. Make sure to double check the seal before you close the unit and make sure water didn't get in after your first daily soak because I did have it leak on the once during the first few weeks. Thankfully after a quick dying and praying it worked again.
great under water headphones September 24, 2008
I dont know what some of these people are talking about. The first time I used these headphones they worked great. Yeah, I had to make a couple of
adjustments at the end of the lane, but thats okay. All in all, I am thrilled that I can now swim and listen to music...something I was not able to do before and made myself stay in the water just to get it done, but now ITS FUN!
It is important to note that these headphones are supposed be fitted below your neck and not around the base of your head, so there is plenty of movement allowed this way, or just remove the fixed part of them and use them as earbuds and they work, too...but can fall out.
 The Best Waterproof Headphones on the Market September 16, 2008
The H3 Waterproof Headphones have the best sound quality that you will find that can still handle the elements. Keep in mind that when any set of speakers are waterproofed, the sound won't be quite the same, but these were certainly a pleasant surprise. These headphones also sport some nice features, such as being able to use them a mere earbuds without having the piece around the neck. The optional earbud covers for underwater use also make them very versatile. I would highly recommend these to any friend, and after having some cheap pairs in the past, I can say that these are definitely worth the price.
 The sound quality SUCKS- tinny; don't buy!!! August 26, 2008
The sound quality is very tinny, just horrible; a huge disappointment after 10 seconds of use. What is the point of getting an expensive waterproof case, if the sound quality is so lousy? Don't buy these! Laird Hamilton, how can you let them use your photo to sell this junk? Sorry to say that my opinion of Laird just plummeted.
