Verdict

The H2O Audio Ript Ultra is an over-ear sport headphone featuring custom 45mm dynamic drivers and 30dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) via 'Real Isolation Performance Tech.' Built for high-intensity athletes, it boasts a 100% sweatproof design with a 50-hour battery life and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. Key pros include the inclusion of two sets of interchangeable, washable ear cushions (silicone for workouts and leatherette for casual use), physical button controls for reliable use with sweaty hands, and a collapsible design with an included travel case. However, some users have noted cons such as a loose fit for smaller head sizes, the absence of a companion EQ app for sound customization, and occasional bass distortion or 'muddiness' when ANC is disabled.
