Cannot use music while swimming

Enaleth 4 months ago

Hello,

I have Shokz headphones that I can use in bluetooth while running but not while swimming.

When I launch the app, it still works, but as soon as a start recording a session, the headset disconnects.

I would say it's not the intended behavior.

It's not the protocol. It's the laws of physics. High frequency radio waves simply do not travel…

Bluetooth is an aerial protocol, it literally doesn’t work through water unfortunately. I have the same problem.

Bluetooth is an aerial protocol that doesn’t work through water, it’s too dense. Even if it didn’t disconnect in the activity, it wouldn’t work.

Okay, that makes sense even if that's too bad :-/

Hopefully in a few years they'll have a protocol that doesn't have that "flaw".

It's not the protocol. It's the laws of physics. High frequency radio waves simply do not travel through water. The only solution is to use heaphones with built-in audio player.
