You can successfully live stream via Bluetooth while boating, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, water aerobics, treading water or any activity where the TRI PRO and source device are not submerged.

This action saves the audio to your device’s memory. Later, you can access and play this stored audio offline in Memory Mode, perfect for uninterrupted listening while swimming.
