BlueAnt makes a line of wireless headphones and headsets for use with smartphones and other devices. The company’s Pump HD Sportbuds might be some of the most impressive.
These $130Â Bluetooth earbuds are waterproof which means not only can you use them while performing a sweaty workout — you can even go swimming with them.
I picked up a free pair of earbuds at an event from the Max Borges PR agency recently, tested them a little bit, and now it’s time for a giveaway!
The BlueAnt Pump HD earbuds come with a variety of seal tips in different sizes so you can fit the earbuds tightly. There’s a built-in battery that supplies up to 8 hours of audio playback time or 2 weeks of standby time. And there’s an included micro USB cable for recharging the battery.
There’s also a built-in mic which you can use to make or answer phone calls, and a few buttons on the side of the device which you can use to adjust the volume or play or pause music.
If you’re using an iPhone you can also see the battery level of the earbuds on your phone. That feature’s not available for Android… but all the other features seem to work with my Nexus 5.
Note that the earbuds are only fully waterproof when you make sure the charging port is fully covered.
It’s nice being able to listen to music without worrying about tangling a cord, sweating during a workout, or getting caught in the rain. Audio quality is decent, but nothing to right home about. I’ve used $20 earbuds that sound about as good — and you don’t have to turn them on before using them or pair them with your device to get started.
The BlueAnt Pump HD Sportbuds are also a bit heavier than a typical set of earbuds… but you can make them more comfortable using included accessories including a cable zip and stabilizers.
I’m not sure I’d use the waterproof features enough to justify the asking price of more than $100 for a pair of earbuds like these… but since I didn’t… and since I have a policy of giving away any item of value that I pick up during the line of work, it’s time for a giveway.
Here’s how to enter for a chance to win a slightly used pair of Bluetooth, waterproof earbuds:

please enter me in the competition
These look awesome for workouts. Great giveaway.
I’d love to give these to my dad. Even in his mid 80s, he still goes to the gym daily and loves to listen to music while he works out.
Sweet, love these giveaways!
this would be nice for my workouts and the sweat.
Since when did HP get involved? Just kidding– these would be an awesome score. Plus, I’d visit your site 8 times a day instead of my usual 5.
These would be amazing!
These would be perfect when I am mowing the grass or going for a bike ride. wires are always getting my way what an awesome idea
I would love to have these to listen to my blues music.
I would love something like this for work.
Nothing like a bit of music to pass the time in a 100 degree warehouse.
Hats in the ring
These are really cool….I had a pair from another manufacturer for years they just finally quit on me
This is really cool that they are geared towards exercise without sweat tearing them up. Love that feature! allyson dot bossie at gmail dot com
I’ve heard a lot of bluetooth earbuds malfunction from exposure to sweat, so I can see why this would be a worthwhile product.
Probably wouldn’t use them to exercise with, but I’ll take them anyway.
I have been searching for another blue headset that would be more durable
This would really make it hard not to go to the gym
awesome, i’d luv to rock some waterproof earbuds
Those look pretty cool
Awesome. I’ve always wanted wireless earbuds.
Thanks for sharing
Waterproof! Count me in!
These would be my first wireless earbuds. Keeping my fingers crossed!
okeydokey
I really could use the BlueAnt Pump HP Sportsbuds wireless headphones because I have a very cheap set of earbuds and they don’t work very good. Thank You for the chance.
Excellent!

I would love to win these – I love to go running rain or shine and it would be nice to not have to deal with the annoying cord but also to not have to worry about the rain ruining my earbuds which has happened in the past.

“This contest is open to residents of the continental United States”
O_o Man it sucks to see headlines on lili about neat giveaways, clicketyclick and readityread until the fine print at the end that region blocks out a lot of readers. Show some mercy and put “for US readers only” in the headline at least.
Could use these for under my lacrosse helmet

These would be handy for when I go out running!
These look great. Thanks!
