Some of the cheap ones aren’t real bone conduction. After a fake pair I bought a pair of Shokz, wear them in the shower all the time, usually after getting them (and myself) sweaty.

Well, I can hear mine just fine underwater so whether they are real or not never passed my mind

Yeah, I got a pair that claimed bone conduction, but just has little speakers that play into the air. Can hear them just as well next to your head as wearing them. Didn’t try them under water, they have little speaker holes. They work as emergency backups.

Beware of poor fitment though. I got some cheap wired ones years ago (from Amazon), didn’t work so well because they had bad contact and no mechanism for adjustment. Kinda also needed a preamp, though if contact were perfect maybe that’d matter less.

Been using mine for 3 years now, its 100% waterproof. Also, they sound better underwater/when wet

Does the Bluetooth work underwater?
Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Nope, bluetooth in general doesnt work underwater. Gotta download mp3 files like you are back in the 2000s

Works just as above water except with a range of about 10cm.
