The Tevese model, now priced at $40 on Amazon, joins a growing market of water-resistant, open-ear headphones designed for swimmers and outdoor athletes, combining affordability with practical features like water resistance and offline storage.
Bone-conduction headphones have moved from niche training kit to a practical option for swimmers, runners and commuters who want to keep their ears open. TheStreet says Tevese’s swimming model is now discounted to $40 on Amazon, down from $122, with more than 500 units sold in the past month. The appeal is straightforward: open-ear audio, water resistance and a fit that avoids the pressure many users report with in-ear buds or bulky over-ear sets.
The Tevese headphones use vibrations through the cheekbones rather than sealing the ear canal, which makes them easier to wear for longer sessions and helps maintain awareness of traffic or people nearby. According to the listing, they carry an IPX8 waterproof rating and offer two listening modes: Bluetooth for dry-land use and MP3 playback for the pool. The built-in 32GB storage is enough for a large offline library, which means phone-free listening during workouts or laps.
Other bone-conduction models on the market point to the same basic feature set. Best Buy’s PRIMEPLUS headset also combines IPX8 waterproofing with 32GB of storage, Bluetooth 5.4 and up to 10 hours of battery life. Walmart’s AILKIN model similarly offers 32GB storage, Bluetooth 5.4 and an IPX8 rating said to allow immersion in water up to two metres deep for an hour. PSIER and VLOP also advertise dual Bluetooth-and-MP3 operation, 32GB memory and open-ear designs aimed at swimmers and endurance athletes.
That wider market context matters because it shows Tevese is competing on price rather than unusual specifications. For buyers, the main question is whether a $40 deal is enough to justify picking a model with proven waterproofing and enough internal storage to avoid carrying a phone. For anyone who swims regularly or wants safer audio outdoors, bone-conduction headphones remain a sensible category to consider, especially when a discount narrows the gap between basic and premium options.
