00:00So I've been swimming laps three times a week for about two years now, and the single biggest
00:04thing that changed the experience for me was music. Not headphones dangling out of my ears,
00:09actual bone conduction gear that survives being fully underwater. Problem is, most of them are
00:15either overpriced or they die after a month. So I went digging, tested a bunch, and found five
00:21that genuinely hold up in the pool, all of them under 50 bucks. Let's get into it.
00:27Starting off with the Polk X34. What sold me on these is the silicone head design, it's soft,
00:33it wraps around the back of your skull, and it doesn't dig into your temples after 45 minutes
00:38of freestyle. They've got 32 gigs of built-in memory, so you load your playlist straight onto
00:44them, leave your phone in the locker, and go. True IPX8 waterproofing, and they only weigh 26 grams,
00:50which is basically nothing. At $33.78, with over 4700 sold and a 4.8 rating, these are the safest
00:59first pick if you've never owned a pair before. Next up, the Lenovo S106. Now, this is the one for
01:07people who want a brand name behind their purchase, and honestly Lenovo delivers here. You're getting
01:13Bluetooth 6.0, which is newer than almost anything else on this list, plus the same 32 gigs of onboard
01:19MP3 storage for when you're in the water and Bluetooth won't reach. There's a built-in mic
01:24too, so you can take calls at the gym or on a run. It's $41.40, which makes it the
01:30priciest option
01:31today, but you're paying for that connection stability and the warranty support. Over 4,400
01:37people bought these. Third, the Polk X7. This is the budget champion of the group at $30.42,
01:45and I keep coming back to how much you get for that. Bluetooth 5.3, IPX8 waterproof rating,
01:5232 gigs of memory, and a proper microphone. It's an open-ear design, which means you can still hear
01:58the lifeguard, hear traffic, hear whoever's talking to you, that awareness factor matters more than
02:03people realize. It's a 2024 model with a 4.7 rating and nearly 4,000 sold. If you just want
02:11something that works without spending much, this is it. Fourth, the Sanig B60S. Now this one has the
02:19highest rating on the entire list, 4.9 out of 5, and after using them I get why. The audio
02:25is
02:25noticeably fuller than the others. Bone conduction usually loses bass, but Sanig tuned these better
02:31than most, so your music doesn't sound thin and tinny underwater. IPX8 rated, built-in MP3 player,
02:38fully wireless, and comfortable enough for cycling in long runs too. They're $40.71.
02:45If sound quality is your top priority and you're willing to pay a little more for it,
02:50this is the one to grab. And rounding it out, the Palk X9. These use an ear-hanging design instead
02:57of a
02:57full wraparound band, which some people strongly prefer, especially if you wear a swim cap or goggles
03:02with a thick strap. Less stuff crowding the back of your head. Still IPX8 waterproof, still 32 gigs of
03:10storage, and they're marketed for tennis, running, and cycling as much as swimming, so they're genuinely
03:15versatile. $32.58, 4.8 rating, over 3,600 sold. Great pick if you want one pair that handles every
03:25sport you do. Alright, that's the 5. All the links are down in the description with the current prices,
