BoneBeat Swim: Waterproof headphones come with built-in MP3 player

The manufacturer Doogee is mostly known for its rugged smartphones, but the brand now also offers new headphones called the BoneBeat Swim. These are currently selling for $79 at the company's official online store, but customers should check the shipping terms carefully before placing an order, since additional fees may apply. Otherwise, similar products can be found on Amazon.

Waterproof headphones with bone conduction

Needless to say, the BoneBeat Swim can be used while swimming. They feature an IP68 rating, though they are not designed for diving. Instead of using traditional drivers, Doogee utilizes bone conduction for these headphones. Since air cannot reliably transmit sound waves underwater, this method works better when swimming and also makes it easier to make these accessories waterproof.

Local music playback is supported

That said, there’s another issue when using headphones while swimming, as the smartphone is often out of Bluetooth range. In order to solve this, the BoneBeat Swim offer 32GB of internal storage for MP3 files, although they can also be used like regular Bluetooth headphones. They can also be used while cycling, but active noise canceling might be desirable in some of these other use cases. Either way, Doogee’s new headphones last up to 7 hours in Bluetooth mode, while local music playback reduces their runtime to around 4 hours. Physical buttons are onboard.
