This is an open-ear bone conduction headset with 32 GB of built-in storage. Music plays from the headset's own memory in MP3 mode, so it needs no phone or Bluetooth signal while swimming. Two demonstration tracks are preloaded.
Two flat pads rest on the cheekbone just in front of each ear and send sound through bone to the inner ear. Nothing goes into the ear canal, so ears stay open to surrounding sound. The band is one continuous piece, and the hooks sit over the tops of the ears. It is made to be worn with a swim cap and goggles.
To add music, connect the headset to a computer with the magnetic cable and copy files over like on a USB stick. Out of the water, Bluetooth 5.4 connects it to a phone for music, podcasts and calls through the built-in microphone. A small display shows the charge level and the current mode.
