Apple’s products have seen improved water-resistance over the last few years and now H2O Audio has released what it’s calling “the only waterproof headphone system for Apple Watch.” Read on for a closer look at these headphones designed for lap swimming Apple Watch users. We’ve also got more news on a handheld isometric strength training device making its way to more Apple Stores and a smart adjustable kettlebell.

H2O Audio launched the new Interval Swim Headphones today and shared more details in a press release:

The Interval Swim Headphone system is made up of a clip that houses the controls for playback and attaches to the back of swim goggles with the Bluetooth 5 earphones connected via wire. This design focuses on reducing drag for swimmers.

Interval Swim Headphones highlights:

  • Made for Apple Watch: Designed for Apple Watch Series 3, 4 and 5. Fits all sizes 38mm, 40mm, 42mm and 44mm.
  • Developed for Swimmers: Integrated goggle loops make it easy to attach and remove the case from almost any swim goggle. Short headphone wires make it convenient to contain your personal sound system entirely on your head, keeping your arms free of wires.
  • 100% Waterproof: Submersible to 12’/3.6m underwater. Waterproof Rating: IPX8.
  • Convenient Controls: Easy to use, push-buttons to control playback and volume in the water or out.
  • Waterproof Headphones: The Interval features bass amplified Surge headphones. Ergonomic sheared shape sits flush with the ear and is designed to promote proper alignment of the earbud with the ear canal for superior sound and fit, plus and less drag in the water.
  • Bass Amplified Sound: The latest waterproof acoustics technology delivers improved bass quality, while sound-isolating, watertight earplugs provide warm sound and dynamic bass response powered by Surge’s waterproof neodymium drivers.
  • Personalized Fit: Includes five sets of Elastomer earplugs (XS-XL) and one set of “Tree Tip” earplugs. Find the size that’s right for you to ensure headphones stay securely in place while swimming.
  • Music Play Time: Interval has a rechargeable battery that allows over 6h play time.
