This sweat-proof headphones provide many great features. These water-resistant headphones are designed to help you listen to music no matter how fast and extreme your activities are, but these are not things you want to take into the swimming pool.

4. Philips ActionFit (click to Buy it on Amazon)
These waterproof headphones from Philips will let you get a good workout in without having to constantly adjust and reposition your earbuds. They are water resistant, not fully waterproof however. But that should prove to be more than enough for your work out or jog, but these will definitely not be what you want to take into the swimming pool.
3. X-1 Momentum (click to Buy it on Amazon)
The X-1 Momentum earbuds are ideal for athletes. With great sound, the momentum are waterproof headphones that can resist sweat, moisture, grime and other things that can damage the quality of your buds, especially for those with active lifestyles.
These washable waterproof headphones have an IPX rating of 4, so they cannot be submerged for a long time, but they are strong enough to last through a workout or a jog. The design allows you to hear ambient noise, however, which makes it safe for running at night and other activities where you don’t want to be completely blocked out.
2. Swimbuds Shortcord (click to Buy it on Amazon)
There are several headphones choices when it come to waterproof Bluetooth headphones but when you’re swimming, you need to make sure that the cord doesn’t get in your way. That’s where the Swinbuds Shortcord shine.
These waterproof earbuds have an extremely short cord that reduces drag in the water while you’re swimming, but has all the waterproofing you expect. Take them into the deep end and listen to your favorite music. The sound is good whther in or out of the water.
1. Monster iSport Strive (click to Buy it on Amazon)
The best waterproof headphone we’ve used so far is the iSport Strive by Monster. You may remember Monster as the creator of the great Beats headphones before the company was spun off on its own, and eventually bought by Apple. They have the heritage and engineering prowess and that shows in their iSport Strive headphones.
The sound quality is great but the best part is these are completely washable. As they become dirty with use while you’re running or enjoying an intense workout, you can easily pop these into the water and clean them off with soap.
The best part is the Monster SportClip which keeps these waterproof Bluetooth headphones stuck in the right place.
