Waterproof Headphones?

Does anybody have any experience with any brands that make good water proof headphones? I've heard of JayBirds (Only sweat proof, but Shaun Watson uses them so in water so they must be decently water proof. Also wireless) and H2Audio. If you use them what kind do you guys use and would you recommend them?

I had an H2Audio set a long time ago and they were pretty bad at staying in. Looks like their line has been completely redesigned from when I had them though and I imagine they've improved.

Yeah, I somebody told me they didn't think they'd stay in well because of their shape, but I'm thinking that they should stay in fairly well because I'm pretty sure Kevin Henshaw uses the H2Audio headphones and they seem to stay in pretty well when he rides.

I have a rusty surf shirt that has built in headphones. I thought t would be awesome to ride with but the ear buds fall out after every invert i throw. If you find something that works well please let me know

Will do. I think I'm going to go get a pair of the H2Audio headphones tomorrow and see how they stay in. If they suck I'll probably pick up a pair of JayBirds Friday so I'll let you know what's good.

ronix14, The ones that go around the back of your head but that also have the earbuds look like they might work. I think I've seen some people at the cable with them and they didn't look like they were being fiddled with too much. I can't see something like a regular earbud staying in though...

I actually didn't notice those until you pontes them out. Those will probably be the ones I end up buying actually. They seem like they'd stay in fairly well.

I'm going to try those tri level silicon things that go on the ear buds. They actually go into your ear canal and I think they would stay in much better. The ear buds just don't stay in when you whip your head around on tricks. The h2o audio wrap around ones would still be prone to that issue
