The Product:

I was sent a package to review and was surprised to see it was an underwater bluetooth headset. Its not a common product and I was quite excited to see how well it works. Here’s my review:

The Good:

1. Sound quality is remarkably good for music and phone calls
2. Bluetooth range is very good on land. I can get reception even if I am in another room in my house.
3. Battery life is good – box says 13 hours of continuous use but I estimate its about 5-8 hours maybe. I’ve only charged it once in a week.
4. Compatible with iPhone 4 and iPad – simultaneous connection e.g. I can view a movie on my iPad and when my iPhone rings, I can pick up the call using the headset. Once I hang up, the movie audio will resume where I left off.
5. Able to control iPhone touchscreen while inside waterproof bag

The Bad:

1. Bluetooth range limited to about 8 inches underwater.
2. Headphone chord a little short. Its ok if headset is around your neck but if you want to clip it at waist level, its a little short.
3. Waterproof bag for iPhone is very flimsy.

Practical Applications:

1. As a general stereo bluetooth headset
2. All weather outdoor listening – e.g. running/ hiking/ cycling in the rain
3. Chilling by the pool/ in a boat
4. Noise canceling – e.g. in a convertible car, at a crowded place
5. General protection of your iPhone – e.g. against sand by the beach

Not Suitable For:

1. Swim training (or vigorous movement underwater)
2. Scuba diving
