H2O Audio, a 20-year-old pioneer in waterproof audio products, introduces new patent-pending technology that allows you to load any streaming music into headphones (such as a Spotify playlist or Audible book), save to memory, and play back at any time, including underwater. Now you can listen to audio from any streaming app offline, underwater, on the trail—anywhere—without a phone.
The H2O Audio wireless audio loading technology is a proprietary invention called PLAYLIST+ featuring an advanced integrated chip and software that wirelessly loads and stores audio into headphones. With PLAYLIST+, no connecting USB cables are needed. Simply play any audio from Bluetooth, click a button to load it onto the headphones or MP3 player, and the audio is stored for future workouts. You can stream and load audio overnight while the headphone is charging, or load while listening live.
PLAYLIST+ is a game changer and offers a completely new way of listening to streaming music offline. This technology is the first of its kind found nowhere else in the world.
New H2O Audio App
H2O Audio has also designed a new app for the PLAYLIST+ feature. The app lets you manage all the downloaded music in the headphones or MP3 player. You can add music to the PLAYLIST+, create folders, rename and delete files, and more.
The app is free with no subscription fees and is currently available on Apple App store and Google Play store.
