H2O Audio x Florence Launch TRI 2 for Water Athletes

H2O Audio, a pioneer in waterproof audio technology, has teamed up with Florence to unveil the limited-edition TRI 2 x Florence headphones. Released to honor the 2025 Molokai2Oahu Paddleboard World Championships, these bright yellow bone conduction headphones are designed for athletes who push limits across both land and sea.

Born for the Ocean and Built for Endurance

The TRI 2 x Florence headphones reflect the spirit of the Ka’iwi Channel, one of the world’s most unforgiving aquatic courses. Engineered with IPX8 waterproofing, they offer rich, dynamic sound even underwater, enabling athletes to stay immersed in music without blocking environmental awareness. Whether you’re surfing, paddling, or pool training, this gear is made to thrive where others fail.

Bone Conduction Meets Florence Aesthetic

Combining H2O Audio’s bone conduction technology with Florence’s minimalist design ethos, the headphones bring both form and function. The open-ear design allows for ambient sound to filter through, enhancing safety without sacrificing performance. The Florence signature yellow colorway adds a pop of visual identity to match the boldness of open-ocean competitors.

Athlete-Tested in One of the World’s Toughest Races

Florence athlete Toa Pere wore the limited-edition TRI 2 during his remarkable second-place finish at the Moloka’i 2 O’ahu World Championships. Confronting intense waves and strong winds, Pere demonstrated the headphone’s staying power in extreme conditions. His performance underscored the headphones’ ability to endure, inspire, and connect athletes with music even in the harshest environments.

Purpose-Built for Movement and Motivation

With 8 hours of battery life, rugged design, and open-fit comfort, the TRI 2 x Florence headphones are a tribute to endurance athletes who train through elements. According to H2O Audio CEO Kristian Rauhala, the partnership reflects a shared mission: to create gear that powers focus and resilience. Florence President Pat O’Connell echoed the sentiment, emphasizing gear that enables athletes to connect deeply with nature while pushing personal limits.

Available now in limited quantities through the Florence website and select retailers, the TRI 2 x Florence headphones offer a distinctive blend of innovation and style for anyone drawn to the water. H2O Audio and Florence continue to redefine the edge of sport audio, showing that even in the middle of the ocean, the beat never has to stop.
