Title: Headphones for Swimming?
Post by: herefortheglitter on September 01, 2015, 03:39:07 PM
Can anyone recommend any headphones that are wireless, bluetooth & waterproof?

I have checked some out on Amazon, but in the reviews most mention receiving said product at a discount (and even free) in exchange for an "honest" review.

Just look for the IPX rating.

You want an IPX 8.

That means you are good to actually submerse them and they should be tip top.

This is ugly, but should be fine with the IPX rating it has.

Just take the radio into the pool with you for music. Make sure its plugged into an extension cord and into an outlet.

The ones I used were called "swimP3" or something like that. They're not that great musically, but if you're swimming for 30-45 minutes they serve their purpose.

Sadly, he won't be around much no more.
I never understood why he was such a target here.

Ok, the whole handicap parking thing was kinda shitty, but much worse people to troll on and make disappear.

It was hilarious when he melted when people poked fun of him lol.

The best is when people would criticize his build, and he would furiously start posting pictures to try and prove them wrong haha lol. Fragile.

I swim for extended periods of time and I absolutely hate the music and noise distraction of the gym.

Or his bank account balances. Ha!

Is there a meltdown thread you care to link, or are you speaking generally?

I lol'd really hard here.  I almost dropped my plugged-in-clippers into toilet today while peeing and trimming (multitasking).

I spent the next hour wondering if enough charge would whisk up my urine stream to kill me?

240, I also pee and trim at the same time.

But be careful 240! We need you around to help us estimate the distance between cops and victims during shootings!

Again, what I initially wrote. Many that I found had reviews on Amazon that were not trustworthy. I was hoping for actual user experiences.

Yes, this. You couldn't open a thread without seeing his dumb ugly 2 foot tall head picture posted in the fucker. The amount of pictures he must have took of himself every day is sickening and quite pathetic

Every time Navy Mike appeared, you just knew there would be a picture of that gigantic head attached to one of his posts.
