Yes. But it turns out Bluetooth doesn't work very well through water. As in, not at all. Others have tried an equivalent, and report universal failure. Because I agree, that would be the best solution and would let me just use my cell phone with its built in Audible app. But by all means if you hear of some bluetooth solution that works, let me know.

ETA: Hmmm. Since I last looked, there are now several headsets rated IPx7 (short term immersion to 1 M), and even some rated IPx8 (long term immersion to 3Meters). This would seem to indicate that it might just be possible to make this work. I'm going to give it a try. Will report back.
