Boneconduction earphones. They are cheaper than you think and I use mine to listen to music while swimming. Also great for music when you need to be able to hear to things around you (it doesn't block any external sound, so don't use in noisy environments)

Any particular brand you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I looked into them, a lot of people seem to speak highly of Shokz/aftershokz. I haven't used them so can't make a personal recommendation.

One thing to note is that if you want them for swimming you need to get ones with built in storage bc Bluetooth can't really penetrate water

Thanks for the excellent tip, never would have occurred to me that water would cause a problem for the Bluetooth signal!

No idea, I bought a generic one on aliexpress that is 'good enough', wouldnt recommend
