If you’re a swimmer, water sports enthusiast, or someone who just wants to be able to listen to stuff while actually under water, may I introduce you to this ~throwback~ concept? It’s waterproof earbuds with a built-in MP3 player. Yes, there’s Bluetooth, too, but the MP3 mode is specifically designed to work when submerged in water! You’ll just have to upload your music (or podcasts) via USB cord, the old-fashioned way.

Here’s another pair of earbuds that are designed for swimming, but there’s no Bluetooth, my friend. Just pure analog plug-in earbuds! These are best when coupled with the brand’s underwater MP3 players, though you can plug ’em into any MP3 player you like when using them on dry land.
