H2O Audio has launched their newest line of waterproof sports headphones, the Trax Custom Fit Sports Headphones. One of the first pair of sports earbuds to utilize memory wire.
Pros
Custom Fit. It probably goes without saying that the number one feature of the Trax Custom Fit Sports Headphones is there custom fit abilit
Memory. H2O utilizes a moldable memory wire that you can bend to help secure your earbuds in place.
Price. These days adding the word “custom” to anything seems to mean that you’ll end up paying hundreds of dollars. The Trax retail for $39.99, which is pretty unbelievable.
Tangle Free Cord. Tired of your cord getting all tangled up when you’re running or when you toss your headphones in your gym bag? Well that stops right now.
Cons
Not Ideal for Swimming. The H2O Audio Trax aren’t ideal for swimming. While they are 100% waterproof, they are only waterproof for 30 minutes up to 3 feet deep. If you’re looking purely for swimming headphones you’re better off trying the H2O Audio Surge 2G.
Our Review
We’re always on the lookout for some fun new technology and the H2O Audio Trax Custom Fit Sports Headphones meet that criteria.
We haven’t seen any workout earbuds utilize memory wire in order to create a better fit. While we’re used to seeing headphones aimed more in the direction of swimming H2O Audio specifically states that these were designed with runner’s in mind.
If you’ve ever had problems with damaging headphones from sweat or rain these may be the best headphones for you.
While they’re not ideal for swimming because they’re only waterproof up to 3 feet and for 30 minutes, they are ideal for those who like to get outside to train. Rain or shine you’re going to get a great pair of sports earbuds.
Another feature that we’re seeing stressed more and more is safety. The Trax Sports Headphones feature a high visibility cord and come in two different higher visibility colors to increase safety for runners who may be working out at dusk or later.
H2O is naming this the “ultimate running and sport headphone,” but only time will tell if that is the case.
