Bone-conduction headphones built for water, running, and staying aware.
Walla Sound Beat sits in front of your ears instead of inside them, so you can hear your music and your surroundings at the same time. With 32GB of built-in storage, IPX8 waterproofing, and a featherlight neckband, it is built for swims, triathlons, and days on the water, not just the gym.
- IPX8 waterproof, fully submersible
- 32GB built-in storage for phone-free listening
- Bluetooth 6.0 for use on land
- 5+ hours of playtime, fast magnetic charge
Most headphones make you choose between music and awareness.
In-ear headphones block out traffic, cars, and other people. Wired options tether you to a phone you cannot take into a pool or onto a boat.
Walla Sound Beat was designed around those three gaps: open-ear bone conduction for awareness, IPX8 waterproofing for real submersion, and 32GB of onboard storage so a phone is optional, not required.
Music that keeps your ears open to the world.
Instead of speakers that seal your ear canal, Walla Sound Beat uses two Φ14mm bone-conduction transducers that rest gently against your cheekbones, sending sound through vibration rather than air. You hear your music clearly while staying fully aware of cars, people, and water around you. A soft, 30g liquid-silicone neckband keeps the fit secure through motion, and the whole unit is rated IPX8, tested for full submersion so it can go from a run straight into a pool.
Three steps to phone-free, open-ear listening.
Charge and load music
Snap on the magnetic charging cable for a fast top-up, then drag MP3 files onto the built-in 32GB storage for phone-free sessions.
Choose your mode
Pair over Bluetooth 6.0 for everyday use on land, or switch to onboard MP3 playback when your phone has to stay behind.
Go run, swim, or ride
Rest the neckband behind your ears and go. It stays secure and waterproof through sweat, rain, or a full swim.
What makes open-ear listening different.
Stay aware while you listen
Open-ear design means you can still hear traffic, other people, and your surroundings.
Actually swim-proof
An IPX8 rating means full submersion, not just splash resistance, for pool and open-water swims.
Leave your phone behind
32GB of built-in storage means a full music library without needing a nearby device.
Barely there fit
At 30g, the soft silicone neckband stays comfortable through long runs and swims.
Fast magnetic charging
A quick 2-hour charge is enough for 5+ hours of continuous playtime.
Bluetooth when you need it
Bluetooth 6.0 handles calls, podcasts, and streaming for everyday use on land.
Every detail, laid out plainly.

A few tips for getting the most out of Walla Sound Beat.
Load your MP3 files before you head out so a phone-free swim or ride is ready to go.
Rest the transducers gently against your cheekbones, just in front of your ears, for the clearest sound.
Rinse with fresh water after ocean or chlorinated swims to keep the silicone band in good condition.
Use the magnetic charger for a full charge in about 2 hours rather than an incompatible cable.
Switch to Bluetooth mode on land to take calls and stream from your phone or tablet.
Store it dry and out of direct sun when not in use to help the band and speakers last.
Open-ear bone conduction is the right call for anyone training outdoors or in water. You give up a little bit of bass compared to a sealed in-ear driver, but you gain real awareness of traffic and surroundings, and a fully submersible design with onboard storage is genuinely rare at this price.
What Walla Sound Beat owners keep telling us.
Finally swim without a phone
I load my playlist on before a swim and leave my phone in the locker. The 32GB storage is the whole reason I bought these.
I can still hear traffic on my runs
I run near a busy road most mornings and always worried about in-ear headphones blocking cars. Open-ear fixed that completely.
Actually survived a full dunk
Jumped off the boat with these still on out of habit. Fully expected to fry them, but they came out working fine.
Forget you're wearing them
At 30 grams the neckband barely registers even after a two hour ride. Way more comfortable than I expected.
Magnetic charger is genuinely fast
I plug it in while I change after a workout and it is basically ready to go again by the time I am done.
Works for the office too
Bought these for triathlon training but I wear them on Bluetooth for calls at work now too. Not just a niche gadget.
