Waterproof Xiaomi headphones with swimming sensors and offline music storage now available via import

The Bone Conduction Headphones 2 from Xiaomi are not entirely new, but they are now easily available via import. To be more exact, TradingShenzhen is selling these headphones for $124 excluding shipping and potential import fees and taxes. Customers should know that in case of a defect, they would have to hope for some goodwill from the seller. However, given the relatively low price, this might be acceptable. Alternatively, other comparable headphones can be found on Amazon.

In any case, the name already reveals the basic function of these headphones. Xiaomi does not utilize traditional drivers to create sound waves, but opted for bone conduction instead. We would definitely recommend trying such a system, as the audio experience is very different compared to regular headphones. One of the biggest advantages of these headphones is that they are waterproof. Specifically, the Xiaomi Bone Conduction Headphones 2 can be used at a depth of up to about 16 ft, meaning they can be used while swimming.

They also have a battery life of up to 12 hours. Music playback in the water is possible thanks to 32GB of integrated storage. A Bluetooth connection can be disrupted by water, and placing a smartphone next to the swimming lane is probably not advisable in most cases. Either way, these Xiaomi headphones are also equipped with certain sensors that can record swimming speed and track the number of laps.
