If you want one set of earbuds for commuting, calls, gym sessions and everyday listening, choose RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds; if you need headphones that survive actual swimming and underwater laps, choose Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater. These two are built for completely different jobs, and picking the wrong one will frustrate you fast.
• RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds — biggest strength: Hybrid ANC + ENC noise cancelling with four modes, plus a touch screen charging case that controls volume, tracks and calls without touching your phone.
• RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds — biggest trade-off: IPX5 is splash and sweat resistant, not swim-proof, and 5 hours per charge is modest for all-day use.
• Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater — biggest strength: True IPX8 waterproofing with 32GB of built-in MP3 storage, so you can listen underwater where Bluetooth simply cannot reach.
• Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater — biggest trade-off: No active noise cancelling, and Bluetooth is unusable in water — you must switch to MP3 mode when you get in the pool.
• Who each pick is for: RAOPINGX for commuters, call-heavy workers and gym-goers who want noise control; Feiltik for swimmers, snorkelers and water-sport users who want music in the water.
The RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds (model YW06) are a classic true-wireless setup built around convenience and noise control. Bluetooth 5.4 gives you faster pairing, stronger anti-interference and a stable link up to 33 feet — which matters in crowded places like subways and malls where cheaper connections stutter. Each bud weighs just 5.2g, so they disappear into your ears for long stretches, and the dynamic drivers measure 13mm with 32 ohm impedance, which is the kind of hardware that tends to produce punchy bass and clear vocals rather than thin, tinny sound. Five EQ modes let you shift the tuning for different genres.
The headline feature is the smart touch screen charging case. You can adjust volume, skip tracks, take calls, set alarms and even locate the earbuds directly from the case instead of digging out your phone. Combined with hybrid ANC + ENC and four switchable noise cancellation modes, that makes these a genuinely useful pair for noisy commutes, open-plan offices and call-heavy days. A one-hour charge returns roughly five hours of playback.
Who should buy them: anyone whose audio life happens on land — commuting, studying, working, training, taking calls. Who should skip them: swimmers. IPX5 handles sweat and splashes, but it is not built for submersion, and there is no built-in music storage, so the pool is out. If price is your deciding factor, check the current price on Amazon before committing.
The Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater (model T05) solve one very specific problem: listening to music while you are actually in the water. The IPX8 rating is the real thing — it is designed for swimming, diving, snorkeling and water sports, not just sweat. The catch is physics: Bluetooth does not travel through water, so Feiltik gives you a 32GB built-in MP3 player instead, holding up to roughly 8,000 songs. You load your music, switch to MP3 mode, and your audio keeps playing through your laps with no phone involved.
The design is open-ear bone conduction, which sends sound through your cheekbones rather than sealing your ear canals. That means no ear pressure, no soreness after long sessions, and your ears stay clear — a real advantage for swimmers who hate the plugged-up feeling of in-ear buds. On land, Bluetooth 6.0 takes over with dual device pairing, so you can connect two devices at once. Magnetic charging removes an exposed port, which is part of how it maintains full waterproofing, and the box includes a protective case, swimming earplugs and a charging cable.
Who should buy them: swimmers, snorkelers, triathletes and anyone who trains in water and wants a soundtrack. Who should skip them: people who mainly want noise cancelling or immersive isolation. There is no ANC here, and bone conduction trades deep bass punch for situational awareness — you hear your surroundings. That is a safety plus in water and a downside in a loud office.
• Best for swimming and underwater use → Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater. IPX8 and 32GB of internal storage are purpose-built for water; the RAOPINGX buds are not.
• Best for noise cancelling → RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds. Hybrid ANC + ENC with four switchable modes versus no noise control at all on the Feiltik.
• Best for battery life → RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds. About 5 hours per charge with a 1-hour charge time — though note the Feiltik's MP3 mode runs without a phone tethered at all.
• Best for calls and meetings → RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds. ENC is specifically there to keep your voice crisp on calls; the Feiltik has no call-focused features listed.
• Best for comfort over long sessions → Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater. Open-ear bone conduction avoids ear-canal soreness; the RAOPINGX counters with a 5.2g-per-bud lightweight in-ear fit.
• Best for storage without a phone → Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater. 32GB built in, up to 8,000 songs, no device required.
• Best for everyday all-round use → RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds. Bluetooth 5.4, touch screen case, EQ modes and ANC cover far more daily scenarios.
• Best for two devices at once → Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater. Dual device pairing on Bluetooth 6.0 lets you stay connected to two sources on land.
In my opinion, the RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds are the better buy for the average person, because most listening happens on land — commuting, working, training — and hybrid ANC, five EQ modes and that touch screen case cover all of it. I would only steer you to the Feiltik Swimming Headphones Underwater if swimming is genuinely your priority, because nothing about the RAOPINGX is designed for submersion. If you spend real time in a pool, the Feiltik is the one that will actually work. Everyone else should take the RAOPINGX.
FAQ
No. Bluetooth signals do not travel through water, so you have to switch to the built-in MP3 mode while swimming. Bluetooth 6.0 on the Feiltik is for land use, where it also supports pairing two devices at once.
Yes — that is exactly what they are built for. Hybrid ANC + ENC with four switchable noise cancellation modes handles ambient noise and keeps your voice clear on calls, and the touch screen case lets you take calls without reaching for your phone.
It depends entirely on where you listen. If your audio life is on land, the RAOPINGX TWS Earbuds give you more everyday features — ANC, EQ modes, a touch screen case and Bluetooth 5.4. If you swim, only the Feiltik solves your problem. Check the current price on Amazon for each before deciding.
