How We Selected

Over the years, Men’s Health’s fitness editors, as well as key fitness trainers from both MH’s Advisory board and MH’s Strength in Diversity Initiative, have taken great care in researching and evaluating the wide pool of swimming headphones.

Some MH editors and collaborators spent hours of hands-on time testing swimming headphones for durability, fit, sound quality, and battery life, while others scoured the internet to compile and consider reviews, specs, and more. Ultimately, we ended up with the above list that represents our top picks for the best swimming headphones to shop in 2024.
