After just a few minutes of training, the swimmer forgets about the presence of the receiver, being able to stay fully focused on the training.

How long does the battery last?

SONR Music battery life can last up to 4 hours on a single charge.

It's worth noting that different music tracks may have varying impacts on battery consumption due to their individual characteristics. Battery life expectancy depends on the type of music you listen to (how multi-instrumental it is) and the volume intensity. This combination will drain your power quicker.

After it SONR Music will start searching and pairing with an available device. Then you’ll be able to see SONR Music on your phone in the Bluetooth section. Please choose it from the list to connect to your phone.

However, please note that Bluetooth doesn't work underwater.

Can I use Bluetooth underwater?

Unfortunately, All Bluetooth devices use 2.4GHz radio frequency—which does not work well in water. This is due to laws of physics, as water molecules attenuate the signal. Any Bluetooth device has a range of just a few inches when submerged underwater.

At the moment, you can keep the device connected to Bluetooth while being on dryland , at the distance of 50 meters.

To listen music under the water you need to upload any music you like via drag and drop files from any computer and listen to it in MP3 Mode.

How to upload audio files onto device?

To upload any audio file to SONR Music device, you need to connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device folder should appear on your computer with the title "SONR Music". Then you can drag-and-drop audio files you like into the device.

You don't need any additional App to upload the audio file into SONR Music. Only USB cable and computer.

How to switch to MP3 mode?

Switching SONR Music to MP3 Mode is done by long pressing for 2 sec and releasing when the animation starts (——).

The device starts playing the last listened track. In MP3 mode, audio files are played in the order they were transferred to the player. After the playlist ends, SONR Music goes to the top of the list.

Can I use SONR Music with Bluetooth in a swimming session?

All Bluetooth devices use 2.4GHz radio frequency—which does not work well in water. This is due to laws of physics, as water molecules attenuate the signal. When any Bluetooth device is put underwater, the range is just few inches.

To listen to music underwater, we recommend uploading audio files to the device and listen to them in MP3 mode.

But we are working now on the streaming version to have the possibility to listen your fav streaming platforms even underwater, so stay tuned!

Is it compatible with Spotify / iTunes / Apple Music / Amazon Music?

You can use Bluetooth mode to connect to Spotify and other streaming services to listen to music from these platforms.

To download and listen to audio files offline, Spotify uses a digital rights management (DRM) system to protect the downloaded content. This means users can play the downloaded files only within the Spotify app. This is a common approach shared by other streaming services, like Apple Music and Amazon Music.

However, the iTunes Store offers all songs without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.

SONR Music does not support downloading the music playlist from streaming platforms with DRM and listening to it underwater. Although we are working on its integration in the next version of SONR Music. So stay tuned!

How to increase or decrease the volume of the sound?

To change between high and low volume, you need to press the button 4 times.

How can I play the ‌next song while being in the water?

To play the next song, press the button twice.
