Zwift x RIPT Ultra headphones combine premium immersive audio and sweatproof durability to virtual training sessions

SAN DIEGO and LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- H2O Audio, the leader in high-performance sport headphones, has partnered with Zwift, the global online fitness platform for cyclists and runners, to launch a limited-edition Zwift x RIPT Ultra headphone—bringing immersive sound to gamified training.

Built for athletes who train everywhere, the new headphones are engineered for immersive audio, whether streaming your own playlist or powering through a Zwift ride. Designed to pair seamlessly with the platform, they deliver deep bass, noise isolation, and motivational sound that elevates every session. The Zwift x RIPT Ultra edition is available exclusively at www.h2oaudio.com/zwift.

The Zwift x RIPT Ultra headphones debuted at the men's Tour de France with Mathieu van der Poel and the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, who used them for warmups, recovery, and media. Van der Poel received a custom yellow pair to mark his time in the maillot jaune. As the Tour de France Femmes continues, FENIX-Deceuninck riders—part of the H2O Audio-sponsored team—are training and recovering with the headphones. H2O Audio is the official headphone partner for both pro cycling teams.

Engineered for high-intensity workouts, the RIPT Ultra x Zwift delivers patent-pending sweatproof durability, active noise canceling of 30 dB, and powerful over-ear sound. Key features include 50-hour battery life and interchangeable ear cushions—silicone for workouts, premium leather for recovery or travel. With custom 45mm drivers and a secure, comfortable fit, the headphones integrate elite sound into the Zwift experience.

"As a longtime Zwift user, I know firsthand how intense—and sweaty—indoor training can get," said Kristian Rauhala, CEO of H2O Audio. "Music plays a huge role in driving performance, and this partnership gave us the perfect opportunity to combine Zwift's dynamic platform with our expertise in sweatproof, high-performance audio. The result is a truly immersive experience—and a product trusted by the pros."
