Before You Buy
W18 Questions, Answered
Can W18 play Spotify underwater by Bluetooth?
No. Bluetooth is not reliable underwater. Use downloaded audio in MP3 mode, or use Receiving Mode with Tayogo T6 for live phone audio.
Does this W18 include 32GB memory?
Yes. The standalone W18 sold on this page includes 32GB built-in MP3 storage.
Can W18 work without T6?
Yes. MP3, Bluetooth and FM work independently. T6 is only needed for live phone audio while swimming.
How do I get the best sound underwater?
Select the ear-tip size that creates the best seal, insert the ear tips before entering the water and clear trapped water if sound becomes quieter.
Can I use W18 in salt water?
Yes, but rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after use and allow the charging contacts to dry completely before charging.

Worked well in the water. Great for a relaxed swim with my favorite music.
The accompanying eartips were to big for my ears, switched to my regular tips from my other earphones.
I loved it so much i hope one thing if i can skipping the song 🎵 same the second generation.the delivery was fast and safe the price amazing 👏 thank you Tayogo 😊 i will buy more more ❤️ best hi from me
love this product for listening to music while I swim. It was easy to copy MP3 files from a folder on my computer to the device, which came up immediately when plugged into a USB port. I love how the charging cable connects magnetically. I listen for about an hour a day while swimming, and recharge once a week. The headset is very comfortable to wear, and the earpieces work perfectly with good-quality sound for listening. The earplugs keep the water out of my ears and block most external sounds. I recommend this Tayogo Waterproof MP3 player for listening to music while swimming.
they are pretty inexpensive and work better than a lot of the other kinds of headphones I've tried to use for swimming. the sound is pretty good, considering. It's very easy to load music on (once you convert what you want to MP3s).very happy with these and will continue to use them and buy another pair when mine breaks.
I use this for swimming laps. It has a great sound, is easy to operate. The charging lasts a long time. Will be buying it again for sure when this one dies off....
I wanted something I could use while kitesurfing, so my requirements were:
- Very waterproof: I'm going to be taking these things into waves and submerging them a lot.
- MP3: *not* Bluetooth as that will lose connectivity a lot as BT does not work under water. I think this supports other formats than MP3, too.
- Self contained: don't want a separate MP3 player and long headphones wire.
- Low priced: I may lose it at any moment, and the ocean will eventually destroy it even if I clean it.
- In-ear: sounds better, keeps wind/water out, helps prevent surfer's ear.
As for swimming with them, they work nicely once you find the correct earbud. The ones that were attached to the headphones when I first opened the package didn’t fit well. One of the additional ones did. This made them great for lap swimming with great sound.Obviously when swimming, you have to use the MP3 mode as Bluetooth and FM don’t work in the water. That said, with the ability to have 1000’s of songs stored, means there’s plenty of music to listen to.
I've been using Tayogo brand since 2019. I just recently purchased the second generation and I am very happy. The sound quality is better than the first gen.This second gen feels better while swimming as well.I've had more expensive brands in the past that didn't work as well as this does. In my pictures I am using the triple flange earbud tips that are not standard with Tayogo any longer. These are my preference but they do come with a nice pair of swimmer tips.Highly recommend upgrading if you have the first gen or getting the second gen if you are new to Tayogo.
This product is so easy to use. Drag and drop your music or podcasts on it. I can’t swim without it as swimming is so boring. Having the music makes it easy. It does stay on your head and in your ears ! Totally waterproof! Amazing product ! I highly recommend!! Thank you tayogo !!
I have the first generation Tayogo MP3 waterproof player for a few years. It works great but
sometimes the sound quality is not as good when you are swimming. This new player is different.
They redesigned the player so that there is no way water can get into the system. The MP3 music is
very clear even when I am under water. I also tested the FM radio and that too came across very clear
even though I was swimming in an indoor pool. The only time I don't hear the FM radio well is when I
am under water, which is understandable. I also tried the bluetooth connection (not in the water) and
it too came through clearly. For someone who loves swimming laps this is a great device for keeping
your mind occupied. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I finally found it. I even
had the Sony waterproof player. It died after a few years.
Comfortable for long sets. Comfortable for 45–60 minute sessions and the ear tips keep most water out. Easy controls once you learn the modes. Highly recommend for anyone bored of silent laps.
Clearer than bone conduction for me. I tried bone conduction swim sets before and wanted more detail. These in-ears deliver clear vocals for podcasts and playlists the whole swim. Short wires don’t tangle in my goggles.
Solid — watch the earbud wires over years. Sound and waterproofing are excellent for regular pool use. I’ve been a Tayogo repeat buyer; swimming is hard on gear, so I treat the wires gently. Still the best value I’ve found for lap music.
Sealed design feels more durable. Compared with older snap-in players I’ve worn out, the sealed magnetic design gives me more confidence for daily laps. Stays put under a cap through flip turns and butterfly.
Loud enough and easy to load. Built a custom playlist, dropped it on the 32GB drive, and it just works. Super loud when I want it, and magnetic charging is painless after practice.
Lap swimming finally has a soundtrack. Drag-and-drop MP3s was easy and the magnetic charger is a nice touch. Sound stays clear underwater with the right ear tips. I swim about an hour most days and recharge maybe once a week.
Great seal once I sized the tips. Worked well in the pool for relaxed swims with my playlists. Stock tips were a bit big for me, so I swapped to a smaller pair and the seal improved a lot. Still very happy with the player.
Fantastic product. Incredible sounds. I bought an earlier version which was discontinued. I had it for several years. Love it. I damaged it by accident so I bought this new version. Wow, you improved the ear pieces compared to the old version. Big improvement. Thank you for producing such a fantastic product.
MP3 mode is the way underwater. Once I used the correct earbud size, lap swimming sounded great. Bluetooth isn’t for underwater — I use MP3 mode in the pool and Bluetooth at the gym. Shuffle keeps long sets interesting.
I hydro-foil in the surf everyday and the light and sleek design of my Tayogo AquaSound Pro comfortably and securely lays around my neck and gives me access to the units functions. The ear insertions are excellent at keeping water out of my ears and the sound in better than many other waterproof mp3 players that I have had in the past.
Love swimming with these Tayogo Waterproof MP3 Headphones.
This MP3 is a lot easier to charge than my previous one.
The sound is clear and they are easy to use.
I have been using the Tayogo swim headsets for years. This is a great product. I am, however, disappointed that the thin cords to the earbuds, which always break first, have not been reinforced at the point of connection to the headset. Otherwise, these are great.
I have been using waterproof MP3 players of various forms for years. They all seem to work for awhile but eventually the rigors of operating in a harsh environment (salt water) causes them to fail. The problem usually is the player at some point is unable to be detected by my laptop for charging and content downloads. Tayogo products (I’ve had many) were my favorite due to their integrated design. Less drag, built in cables and earphones, no need to clip it on your goggles. The problem was their interface with the computer was faulty. Until now.
This new player has a magnetic power/USB cable that eliminates the need to either remove the player from the “bone” or plug a cable into the player (which causes corrosion problems both with the connector and the cable).
If this new magnetic connector holds up it could add maybe YEARS to this player’s life. Fingers crossed!!
I do love Tayogo products, especially for their price, comfort, battery life, and sound quality. If this recent “fix” extends the players life…I’m sold!!
This is my fourth waterproof headphones by Tayogo.You might might wonder four, and that is because I wintered in the south and had sets there. I always had one in use and the other being charged. Am very happy with them I get to put my own music on and sing to my hearts content. Where i wintered and exercised, aquafit people called me the singing mermaid! (Then their class started and I sang to myself!). That was lovely.
I usually NEVER write reviews! But for this item, I felt compelled. I have tried several pairs of underwater headphones for the lap swimming that I do. They were all bone conduction headphones and the sound was horrible. These go in the ear canal and deliver crystal clear sound for the duration of my swim. I highly recommend this product! 5 stars all the way!
This is my 2nd Tayogo Waterproof MP3 player. I swim laps in the pool 4-5 times a week, and am very satisfied with the sound quality. It is also comfortable and fairly easy to use once I got the hang of it. I especially like that the ear bud wires are short (unlike some other underwater players) so they don't get tangled in my swim goggles or hair. I would recommend this product to other lap swimmers.
