Great review, thanks Andy for the effort you put in these videos. Based on what I saw here went ahead and bought the Mojawa primarily for swimming. A great player for swimmers, it looks great, it sounds great, it is comfortable and stays fairly put without a swim cap. It has a an issue with the touchpad cycling like crazy between playback modes when swimming, found out that there is a way to disable the touchpad so all is good with MP3 and "Balanced" eq mode while swimming.

Those IP-rating limitations usually apply to full submersion which you barely do when swimming, so I reckon that for a longer session (1hr+) in the water you should be fine. I believe it's more important to rinse the headphones after each use to improve its longevity.

Thank you so much, Andy, for the amazing review! I've watched both this and your previous review almost two times. I recently purchased the Sony NW-WS623, which seems fine. However, during my first use in the swimming pool, I encountered some issues with the buttons; it appears they shouldn't be used underwater. Additionally, I noticed some discomfort in my ears, especially when wearing a cap. By the way, I'd appreciate your opinion on the best sound quality when using Sony headphones with swimming ear-tips versus bone-conducting headphones with earplugs. Thank you once again!
@AndysTechTone6 ай бұрын
No bone conduction can really beat the sound of in-ears even if you use the swimming tips on the Sony which can muffle the sound ever so slightly. As for comfort, tight caps over the headphones will always cause some discomfort due to the extra pressure. That's not Sony-specific, it applies to all similar (headband) designs.
@sajjadbaeidi326 ай бұрын
@@AndysTechTone Andy, not only are you great at making super useful videos, but you're also wonderful in your responses-super fast, I didn't expect that. I really appreciate it. I'm really not sure if this malfunctioning of the buttons could be a serious issue in the long run. When I tried the buttons, they responded really slowly; it's like they don't do anything at first, and then after a few seconds, the buttons I pressed start to work in a sequence. Do you think this might be a recurring issue with this device? Should I consider returning it and reordering it from Amazon?

And how do I get music right from Spotify to this headset? I have a MacBook but I barely use it anymore. I just listen to music and podcasts and audiobooks off my iPhone. Thoughts?

You’ll have to download an audiobook and convert it to one of the supported formats and then transfer that file to the headphones. I don’t think you can do that straight from Spotify but maybe someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

why is the bluetooth mode disabled when it is used in water? are there other options that offer bluetooth mode even underwater?
@seabream2 ай бұрын
Water absorbs the frequencies of radio waves used by Bluetooth much more than air does, so the range is very short when the transmitter and/or the receiver are submerged because the signal strength drops off pretty sharply as they get further apart. If you put your player close enough to a Bluetooth headphone underwater it will still work (providing that both are waterproof, or protected from water), it's just that it's typically impractical to do so. If you really need to, you can do it, but most methods I can think of to keep a player very close to your headphones seem awkward and uncomfortable. It may also be risky for your player if it's being kept dry by being in a bag.

Thank you so much for this review you did. I liked the video, because I want to support your content however, I’m not really into technology. I just swim a lot. Like 2 to 3 hours a day 4 to 5 days a week in the winter time at the pool and 2 to 6 hours 5 to 7 days a week in the summer time (in Canada outdoor swimming weather without a trisuit is only about 3 maybe 4 months of the year) I’m a big nature person and not a huge tech person but I really enjoy learning by listening to audiobooks, and podcasts when I bike or as I spend time in nature hiking and swimming would be amazing, especially because I swim for so long and especially because swimming indoors in a pool is extremely boring for my mind as a nature and water lover stuck in Canadian winters.. anyway, my point is, I’m not going to subscribe to your channel even though I liked your page. I hope that other people will support you by following you, but I can’t simply because it would be a waste for me to do so since I’m not interested in technology unless that serves my outdoor time in nature specifically for this.. or if it were to be focused on kangen machines and muse meditation, headbands..
