Zygo Launches Enhanced Spoken Word Mode to Deliver Innovative Audio Clarity for Swimmers

March 26, 2025

Zygo’s newest update further advances delivery of crystal-clear music, podcasts, audiobooks and coaching to the pool.

Los Angeles, CA – March 26, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Zygo, the world’s first and only underwater streaming headphones, today announced an enhancement to its pioneering technology: Spoken Word Mode – a feature that lets users activate an enhanced audio clarity mode for spoken content like podcasts, audiobooks and coaching cues, all with the push of a button.

Since its inception, Zygo has included the ability to stream spoken word content underwater. With the launch of this innovative user-controlled mode, swimmers can enjoy clearer, more natural speech audio by boosting voice frequencies and minimizing background interference – especially in echo-prone pool environments.

“From day one, Zygo has provided a smarter, more immersive way for swimmers to train, learn and stay inspired,” said Charlie Melvoin, Co-Founder of Zygo. “Now, we’re giving swimmers the ability to enhance the spoken word experience on demand, whether they’re listening to a podcast, getting real-time coaching or just diving into a new audiobook.”

Activating the feature is simple: When the Zygo headset and case are powered on, users just press the case button once to turn on Spoken Word Mode. The LED indicator shifts from blue to red, signaling enhanced voice-optimized audio is active. No app configuration or complex settings required.

“For too long, swimming has been left out of the fitness tech revolution,” said Sheera Goren, Co-Founder of Zygo. “We created Zygo to change that. With our Spoken Word Mode, we’re giving swimmers even more control over how they stay motivated, entertained, and informed in the water.”

Research shows that engaging audio, including spoken-word content, can extend workout time, reduce perceived effort and improve focus.

Zygo’s enhanced Spoken Word Mode was designed with these benefits in mind:

  • Greater Endurance: Clearer content helps swimmers stay engaged and in the pool longer.
  • Real-Time Coaching: Immediate, intelligible feedback helps improve form and reduce injury risk.
  • More Immersive Workouts: Whether it’s a podcast, meditation session or training cue, Zygo’s Spoken Word Mode makes every swim more enriching.

By giving users control over their listening experience and continuing to lead in underwater streaming innovation, Zygo reaffirms its commitment to transforming swimming into a connected, modern workout, one that rivals the engagement of running, cycling and strength training.
