Most of us head out the door and into the water to get away from the phone, but these days iPhones or Droids offer tools that make them practically a personal trainer for endurance athletes looking for time, distance, video coaching and motivation. H2O Audio has been developing innovative waterproof products for ocean athletes for years, and they not only keep up with every new Apple release they enhance their designs to improve every athlete’s experience. Their new Amphibx Fit and Surge Contact 2G Headset bundle serves users of the iPhone, Droid, iPod or any large MP3 player with one of the lightest and easiest to use waterproof cases on the market. Central to the design is a minimal approach with the arm-band to make it virtually unnoticeable. Additionally, the hook and loop closure is easy to adjust in gloves or with slightly frozen hands if paddling in February is your thing. Perhaps most unique is H2O Audio’s waterproofing approach with a simple and flexible pouch utilizing H2O Audio’s patented “Latch Tight” locking closure and “Seal Tight” headphone connector to provide a secure seal up to twelve feet underwater. The soft casing utilizes their “Clear Touch” pouch that is simple to load and allows for full function of the touch screen, camera and all buttons. When paired with their award winning Surge Contact 2G Waterproof Headset there is nothing you can’t do on your phone whether you are a mile off shore or finishing a long, wet summer run.
The Amphibx is ready to go out of the box and the Surge Contact 2G just takes a little adjustment with the multiple size and style earplugs. Once you clip on the style you like the phone slides in and the latch seals and locks. Once loaded operating your phone may take a little more attention at first due to the vinyl cover, but basic functions can also be controlled with the headset so you don’t even have to grope and hope for the right button on the screen. The bottom line is that the office does not even need to know you are calling from the water unless they overhear the splashing.
In addition to the Amphibx, H20 Audio has a product line that covers virtually any MP3 player or iPhone style phone. They also value your electronics as much as you, so they individually test every unit to ensure it is 100% waterproof. The Amphibx Fit & Surge Contact 2G headset bundle is regularly $129.98, but the company offers regular promotions on their website.
