At H2O Audio, we know that the right music can change everything.
It’s more than background noise it’s your pulse, your rhythm, your edge when you’re grinding through a tough set or cruising through open water. That’s why we asked our crew on Instagram:
"Which music genre pushes you to go Below, Above & Beyond during your workouts?"
The responses didn’t disappoint and the variety reminded us that motivation looks (and sounds) different for everyone.
Here’s a look at what’s fueling the H2O Audio community:
🎸 Rock
For those who need grit, power, and an all-out adrenaline rush, rock is the go-to. Whether it’s classic anthems or high-octane modern tracks, this genre hits hard when it’s time to push limits. Perfect for long runs, big lifts, and getting in the zone.
🎧 Electronic / EDM
When you’re looking to lock into a rhythm, nothing delivers like EDM. From progressive house to techno, this genre keeps the energy high and the transitions smooth—ideal for swimming laps, cycling, or powering through endurance sessions with your TRI 2 headphones.
🎤 Hip-Hop
Confident. Commanding. Full of energy. Hip-hop continues to be a top choice for those looking to find their inner drive and stay hyped from start to finish. Great for sprints, circuits, or anytime you need to level up your mindset.
🎶 Pop
With catchy beats and endless variety, pop music keeps things fun and fast-paced. Whether you’re hitting the pool, the trail, or the gym floor, it brings the vibes to keep your workout upbeat.
🤠 Country
Surprised? Don’t be. Country music fuels a lot of our community's long-distance efforts and open-water grinds. The storytelling, steady rhythm, and emotional pull make it great for solo workouts, whether you're paddling out, logging miles, or just taking in the scenery.
🌊 Ambient / Chill / Zen
Sometimes it’s not about pushing harder, it’s about finding flow. For those looking to train with clarity or recover with intention, ambient music, lo-fi, or chill beats are the soundtrack of choice. Especially useful for yoga, open-water swims, or recovery paddles.
So… what’s in your ears?
Your training style is your own and with H2O Audio’s waterproof, open-ear tech, your soundtrack stays with you wherever you go.
