February 3, 2026

Limited-edition Betty x RIPT Ultra and Betty x TRI 2 launch Today
SAN DIEGO (February 3, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — H2O Audio and Betty Designs are cranking up the volume on women’s training with a fearless new collaboration built for sweat, speed and self-expression.
Launching today, the partnership introduces two limited-edition headphones: the Betty x RIPT Ultra ($249.99) and the Betty x TRI 2 ($149.99). The collection blends H2O Audio’s performance-driven technology with Betty Designs’ signature bold pink energy and unapologetic style.
“These headphones are built for athletes who push hard and expect their gear to keep up,” said Kristian Rauhala, founder and CEO of H2O Audio. “Betty Designs stands for confidence and self-expression, and that lines up perfectly with what we believe in. This collab brings personality to performance.”
The Betty x RIPT Ultra features active noise cancellation and a sweatproof design built for focused indoor training. From spin class to strength sessions, it helps athletes lock in, tune out distractions, and stay in the zone.
The Betty x TRI 2 is waterproof and powered by H2O Audio’s bone-conduction technology, making it ideal for outdoor workouts and water-based training. Its open-ear design allows athletes to stay aware of their surroundings while still enjoying immersive sound on runs, rides, and trail sessions.
“Music is non-negotiable in my training,” Betty Designs founder Kristin Mayer said. “A killer playlist can take a workout from good to full-send and keep the fire lit when the intervals get spicy. H2O Audio makes headphones for athletes who actually perform. The RIPT ULTRA over-the-ear headphones are my go-to for indoor sessions when I want to disappear into the music and lock in. The TRI 2 open-ear model is perfect for outdoor sweat sessions—immersive sound while still staying connected to nature when I’m on the trails. And the pink hue in our collaboration? That’s pure Betty energy.”
Founded in 2010, Betty Designs has become synonymous with playful patterns, bold wordplay, and a cult-like global following. From triathlon to trail running, Mayer’s designs celebrate movement, color, and confidence. Her worldwide community of ambassadors, known as the BettySquad, embodies the brand’s fearless spirit and commitment to showing up strong.
Mayer’s design career spans decades, from early footwear work to building one of endurance sport’s most recognizable women’s brands. Her vision has helped reshape performance apparel, proving women never have to choose between function and fashion.
The H2O Audio collaboration brings Betty’s iconic energy to two of the brand’s top-performing models, creating headphones built for women who train hard, chase goals, and refuse to blend in.
The Betty x RIPT Ultra and Betty x TRI 2 will be available Feb. 3, 2026, exclusively at h2oaudio.com.
