I bought a pair of Surges and a pair of iHip AquaVibes at the same time. The first pair of Surges had a short right out of the package, but I've been swimming with the replacment pair for a couple of weeks now (and the Surges have a 1-year warranty, so that's good). The AquaVibes work fine, but don't sound as good as the Surges -- I'm keeping the AquaVibes as a backup pair for the day the Surges stop working and I have to buy a new pair/send them in under warranty. The sound quality of the Surges is surprisingly good for a set of waterproof headphones. I've owned regular headphones and earphones that didn't sound as good, so these are definitely good enough for working out, running, etc. if you're not a swimmer.
One peeve: The plug housing is straight (as opposed to being a right-angled) and really long -- a little over 2" I'd guess, not including the actual plug you insert into your player. That can make your mp3 player more difficult to fit in waterproof bags/cases and makes it more likely that the plug will be hit against things or put under pressure, thus putting strain on your player's jack. I would MUCH prefer a right-angle plug -- if not a right-angled plug, a smaller straight plug, at least.
Actually, two peeves: The box is a nightmare. It takes a great deal of effort to open the box without destroying it and you must either take off the tips that come on the earphones or cut through the strip of stiff plastic that is between the seated tips and the earphones (look at a picture of the box). Really unecessary and annoying; it's like opening a puzzle box.
Some people say you can't swim/swim fast with waterproof headphones. You CAN!!
A primer on swimming with waterproof earbuds:
1) They only work if they seal the ear canal 100%. The phones must seal out ALL water, leaving only empty air between the phone and the eardrum. If ANY water leaks in, you can't hear anything because the phones aren't powerful enough to conduct sound through water. This is the same with ALL waterproof earphones. The Surges come with five sizes of eartips; the ones that are already on the earphones worked great for me, there are two smaller sets and two larger sets. For swimming, pick the set that requires you to pull on your ear rim to insert and is borderline uncomfortable; you'll get used to it and it'll keep the water out. With five sets, EVERYONE should be able to find a pair that fits properly. I haven't had water get in once in half a dozen swims: I run the cord under, through (between the gap in back), and back around my goggle strap, carefully insert the headphones, jump in, swim laps, get out, towel off, remove headphones. Ta-da!
Inserting earphones:
a) Pull upward and out on the rim of your ear while inserting earphones and insert them well/far into your ear canal.
b) Consider inserting the earphones with the wire pointing upward and slightly rearward and securing them/the wires in place with your goggle stap and/or a cap.
2) Given 1), you must take steps to ensure that your earphones don't get jostled or tugged on. If they move or get pulled on, they will leak. Use your goggle strap, and/or another strap, and/or a cap to keep the earphones securely in place and don't mess with them or take them out once you get set up. Finding the securing routine that works for you, your player, your goggles, your ears, and your cap will take some trial and error. A waterproof cap can also cut down on the swimming noise you hear while listening to music.
If the eartips fit your ears properly, all it takes is a little trial and error with your set up and you'll be swimming up a musical storm in no time. I'm guessing most people with problems either had ill-fitting tips or didn't secure the earphones with straps/caps once they seated them.
