Dan(NM) Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I tried the bone conduction headphones today for 4 hours and wasn't really impressed with the tonal quality. Trying to get some feedback on what other types of waterproof headphones you guys are using. Any input would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get some feedback on what other types of waterproof headphones you guys are using. Any input would be appreciated, thanks. I think that the bone conduction headphones are intended to be used for total immersion - I don't think you get the intended effect if your head/ears are out of the water. The RC switches to square tones (I believe) automatically when the bone phones are plugged in - which perhaps explains the tonal difference. Bone phones use high impedance piezo transducers to achieve the waterproof rating - they are not really going to yield a "hi-fi" quality sound. I usually use the WSA2XL 's on the beach or in the rain. If I were going completely underwater, I'd stick with the bonephones - although I think that Gray Ghost over-ear phones are also available (they're quite a bit more expensive and probably also use very similar piezo transducers, so sound quality may not be very different).
