So, I've had these headphones for a couple of years now (I don't swim as aften as I would like to- so don't take that to mean they will last for a long time- but so far so good). Once I get them positioned perfectly, they deliver very good sound. However, getting them in that perfect spot is not easy and takes lots of trial and error every time. I'm beginning to suspect that there may be a short in one of the wires as it often goes fuzzy and I have to hold my head just right to hear in my right ear. They need to be a little less sensitive as it hinders my workout to be constantly stopping and adjusting them. On the plus side- I have tried a couple of other waterproof headphones and so far these are the best I've tried, but there is certainly much room for improvement.

Very good point, fit is important as it does contribute to good sound when you're underwater. We do offer a Pro Fit Kit that has an additional 9 sizes and shapes of ear tips for people like you who would like the extra help in getting the perfect no-fuss fit. Also, getting the headphones situated with a good seal before getting in the water or getting your your hands or ears wet will also help to avoid mid-workout adjustments.

H2O Audio (Posted on 3/25/11)

I had a pair of Surge buds but one of the sides went out this summer so I bought the new ones. They have the same earplugs as the old ones so I got the Fit Kit too to try some different earplugs. The bud shape is way more streamlined in my ear and doesn't seem to drag in the water. The fit kit had couple of different sizes that worked perfect for me. They sound just as good as the old ones too. Like the other review the cord is pretty stiff. I think they could use a softer cable and this would be perfect. (Posted on 10/8/10)

The Surge 2G have great bass and clarity.The bass of the surge 2g certainly make your money worth. No issues with the sound quality and I am very happy with it.

I own a Monster Jamz that cost about 119 and have them side by side for comparison.

Sometimes, certain notes produced by the surge appears so sharp that it sounded rough to the ears. The jamz make the same sound more 'sweet' to the ears.

One downside is that the wire of the surge 2g is very stubborn and have the tendency to curl . It sure takes some time for it to straighten.

I think h2o audio should include a pouch to store the headphones or rather sell a carrying case as leaving the headphones in the open is very messy.
