To be considered waterproof, headphones need an IPX7 rating or higher, which means they can be submersed in water to varying depths. The best waterproof headphones enable you to listen to your favorite tracks, podcasts and audiobooks while you swim. Matt Evans, Fitness, Wellness and Wearables Editor It's not commercially available yet, but waterproof music is getting weird and I love it. But I'm excited about the prospect of SONR Music: a wearable, waterproof, bone conduction 'puck' that sticks to the back of your head and leaves your ears free. We're currently testing many of the newest and best waterproof headphones to add more options to our guide, like the Mifo O5 Plus Gen 2 Touch and the Cre8 Sounds.

The JBL Reflect Aero, which sound great, is our number one, but the H2O Audio Tri Multi-Sport boasts its own onboard 8GB flash drive, which means you can store your favorite tunes and play them during your swims. I've taken over from our Buying Guides Editor, the excellent Michelle Ray Uy, in looking after the Waterproof Headphones guide.
