H20 Audio & Ironman World Champ Announce Latest Collab

Limited to 500 units, the Lucy Charles-Barclay TRI 2 PRO Headphones are $220.

H2O Audio, a global leader in waterproof and high-performance  sport headphones, is proud to announce a new collaboration with IRONMAN world champion Lucy Charles-Barclay featuring limited edition headphones.

The LUCY CHARLES BARCLAY x TRI 2 PRO is a custom version of the waterproof multisport headphones she trains in  across swimming, cycling and running. The partnership continues H2O Audio’s athlete-led  approach to multisport product development. 

Built around “The Work Behind the Win” theme, the limited edition puts the focus on the  training that builds performance before race day. Lucy, regarded as one of the best triathletes in  the world, brought her design input and custom colorway to the edition. She also recorded a  short, preloaded audio message. Limited to just 500 units, the special edition will be available exclusively at H2O Audio for $219.99 while supplies last. 

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Lucy on an edition that reflects how she actually  trains,” said Kristian Rauhala, founder and CEO of H2O Audio. “She’s a world champion who  understands the demands of endurance training – in water, on the bike and on the road. Her  drive, focus and determination to “Go Beyond” are at the heart of H2O Audio’s mission. This is  far more than a signature colorway. Lucy trains in the TRI 2 PRO, helped shape the edition, and  brought her own voice to the experience. We’re proud to launch something that is authentically  hers and is built for the way multisport athletes really train.” 

The Lucy Charles-Barclay x TRI 2 PRO Features 

• H2O Audio’s award-winning open-ear bone conduction technology designed to deliver  sound in and out of the water while helping athletes remain aware of their surroundings  • Lucy’s custom blue and white colorway, designed with her input, with only 500 available • A voice message recorded by Lucy, exclusive to this edition  

• Multi-Sport Waterproof Design. IPX8 waterproof protection, with submersion to 12 feet  for an unlimited time 

• Patented PLAYLIST+ technology, which records audio from a Bluetooth connection and  stores it directly on the device for offline and underwater listening  

• Wireless Bluetooth and MP3 Player with onboard memory, holding thousands of songs for any workout without your phone 

• Up to nine hours of battery in Bluetooth mode and six hours in memory mode

“Triathlons require me to move through three very different environments, and the TRI 2 PRO  fits naturally into my swim, bike and run training. The controls are easy to use in the water, the  open-ear sound feels clear, and PLAYLIST+ lets me take my music with me without relying on my  phone,” Lucy said. “Music is a big part of how I get through the work, so I wanted this edition to feel personal. These are the headphones I train in, and I’m excited for other athletes to make  them part of their training.”

Lucy entered triathlon after an elite swimming career. At 16, she won a national 5-kilometer  open-water title, and she reached the 800-meter freestyle final at the 2012 London Olympic  trials. She raced her first IRONMAN in 2014 and broke Kona’s 19-year-old swim course record four years later. She won her first IRONMAN 70.3 world title in 2021, became the World  Triathlon Long Distance champion in 2022 and won the IRONMAN World Championship in 2023.  She claimed her second IRONMAN 70.3 world title in 2025.  

The LUCY CHARLES-BARCLAY x TRI 2 PRO is available today at H2O Audio for $219.99 while supplies last.
