Pioneer has released a new set of water-resistant, washable earbud headphones — intended for exercising or other activities where sweat, dust or risk of water immersion is an issue. The SE-CL331 earbuds (U.S. website not updated at the time of posting) are safe in up to one meter (3.3 feet) of water and come with four interchangeable ear tips, as well as an extra-long 3.9-foot cord for increased flexibility.
The 9mm drivers in the SE-CL331 offer deep bass response and are rated at 10-20k hertz with a 16-ohm impedance. They feature an ear holder to keep the earphones in place while exercising as well as a cord clip to reduce strain. The ear tips come in extra-small, small, medium and large sizes for maximum comfort, and will help decrease the amount of outside noise. A matching carrying pouch is also included.
The earbuds are available in either pink, blue, yellow, green, purple or white versions, with an expected retail price of $60. They will be available everywhere Pioneer accessories are sold.
