Can You Listen to Music Underwater?

Linus and the gang dive into the pool (literally) to figure out how to get tunes pumping underwater, from Renzo’s custom hydroacoustic speakers at Synchrosound to bone‐conduction champs like the Shokz OpenSwim Pros and budget Bluetooth rigs such as the Monster S620. They break down why sound behaves so weirdly beneath the surface, why those high frequencies drop off, and how bone conduction sidesteps the pressure—and then put each setup through its paces in a real swim session.

Along the way you get tech tips on speaker design, a peek at Renzo’s workshop, plus the lowdown on which solution actually keeps your laps lively. Whether you’re a pool‐side audiophile or just curious about underwater acoustics, this test swim has you covered—ripple effects and all.
