Zygo Z2: Smart headphones streamlined for swimming

Zygo Z2 might be the first ever set of headphones designed specifically for underwater use and that makes them excellent for swimmers. Bone conduction technology, excellent battery life, and lots of swim-friendly features await.

Summer is almost here, which means a lot of us will be swimming. That’s also a great time to jam out to some tunes. Unfortunately, headphones, waterproof or not, are not inherently designed for use in the water. Neither are most earbuds. But what if I told you there were headphones designed for that very purpose? Introducing the Zygo Z2, which uses bone conduction to deliver audio underwater, as opposed to being placed inside or over your ears. They even come with ear plugs to help block out ambient noise. Best of all, they come with a ton of poolside features that make them great for swimmers of all types, whether you’re swimming laps or just spending some time to relax in the cool pool waters.

A built-in tempo trainer, walkie-talkie support for communication, lap counting features, and access to over 500 guided workouts with swimming in mind help showcase that the Z2 are packed to the brim with excellent support options. On-the-go charging and long battery life ensure you can continue swimming and listening for quite some time. Plus, they have an underwater range of over 50 meters, and an even longer range above water. They sync with an antenna, which also connects to your phone, and all of that stays out of the water and poolside. It’s an ingenious setup, really.

What makes the Zygo Z2 headphones ideal for swimmers?

As you can see in the video, there’s a lot to these headphones. For example, you can wear them both under or over a swim cap. The bone conduction technology, ensures you can listen intently to music, podcasts, and other audio, without being interrupted by the water, or the sounds of your swim strokes. Imagine training in the water for as long as you want, while also listening to your favorite audio streams. That’s the idea here.

Above all, those swim-friendly functions are what really set the Zygo Z2 apart from any comparable sets. Live one-way speech is available for when you need to chat. Plus, you can use the Zygo app to sync up your favorite apps, access guided workouts, and much more. Like a sports-themed wearable, the Z2 will also count your laps as you alternate back and forth in the pool. No more counting yourself. Plus, they’re super easy to set up, so you’ll be able to get in and out as quickly as you can swim. How’s all of that sound? Sounds great to me.
