H2O Audio TRI 2 PRO and TRI Run Headphones Reviewed for Athletes

H2O Audio has introduced two models of open-ear bone conduction headphones designed for athletes: the TRI 2 PRO and the TRI Run. The TRI 2 PRO is tailored for swimmers and triathletes, while the TRI Run is aimed at runners and cyclists.

The TRI 2 PRO, priced at $199, features IPX8 waterproofing, Bluetooth 5.3, and an onboard MP3 mode, making it ideal for use in water. It includes a hard-shell case, a magnetic USB charging cable, and foam earplugs for reducing ambient noise. The TRI Run, available for $99.99, offers similar audio quality for land activities but lacks the MP3 mode and swim-specific features.

Both models utilize bone conduction technology, allowing users to hear their surroundings while enjoying music. The TRI 2 PRO is noted for its ability to deliver quality sound both above and below water, while the TRI Run provides excellent audio quality over Bluetooth. H2O Audio's decision to create two distinct models allows athletes to choose based on their specific training needs.
