Kind of a weird question,
does anybody wear headphones/listen to music on the water?
If so, are there any good headphones for this?
Any specific waterproof phone case better over the other?
I've been using other Shokz headphones (Openrun) that worked quite well; they may not have had the OpenSwim model back then, or I just did not see it. Shokz seems to be quite conservative with their IP ratings, unlike many cheap headphones that promise IP7, but have clearly visible holes in the housing and then die after a couple of sessions.
Can you wear them under a helmet? Subjective I know depending on the helmets, but generally?
What about these? IP68 rating. (Although I wonder how long it persists).

Sorry but is wrong with the dulcet tones of foil screaming, surfers telling you to %#*k off and flapping wing. You have to enjoy the moment 
I use the Sony ones that are not bluetooth. They have 4G of storage. MP3 player kind of. They don't feel great with a wetsuit hood pushing in but fine without. Helmet keeps them on so no need for a leash. Easy to skip songs and adjust volume even with gloves. I like that I can leave my goddamn phone in the van. Only problem, in the streaming subscription music world we live in, it is hard to download music that I don't own on my computer. So I have to go back 10 years to my library of music files. Which has some gems in it for sure.

I have been using Jbl Clip5 for the past few years. Works great Bluetooth connectivity. If you have where to put it. Hooks on 2 my life vest. The benefits of the speaker is people can hear you.
