How Zygo Headphones Work
Zygo makes it possible to stream live underwater audio from your favorite apps, giving swimmers access to music, podcasts, audiobooks, and guided workouts in the pool.
Bluetooth signals cannot travel effectively through water, which is why many swimming headphones still rely on outdated MP3 storage.
Zygo solves this with a patented transmitter system that streams live audio from your phone to your waterproof headset while you swim.
Your phone and transmitter stay safely on land, poolside, or nearby. The transmitter can be placed up to 30 feet from your phone, using a standard Bluetooth connection before sending audio to the headset through Zygo’s underwater streaming technology.
The transmitter doubles as a walkie talkie for real time one-way communication.
And not just for swimming.
The lightweight headset fits comfortably with goggles, swim caps, and hats.

Non-Invasive Bone Conduction Technology
The Zygo headset uses bone conduction technology to send audio through gentle vibrations against the zygomatic arch, keeping your ears open for comfort, awareness, and safety while you swim. This open-ear design helps swimmers enjoy underwater audio without relying on traditional in-ear earbuds.
Out of the box, Zygo includes a headset, transmitter, and charging case. The headset and transmitter connect wirelessly, allowing you to stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, and guided workouts cord-free while swimming. The carrying case also doubles as a charging station, making it easy to recharge your Zygo system between pool workouts.
Zygo’s underwater audio range depends on swim depth and water type. In a chlorinated swimming pool, the headset can receive audio up to 50 meters away when swimming approximately 2 feet below the surface.
Above the water, Zygo offers an extended range of up to half a mile, making it useful for activities like standup paddle boarding, windsurfing, and other above-water training.
