Michael Phelps is wearing H2O Audio's Interval product with built-in Surge waterproof in-ear sport headphones.

Michael Phelps is getting his first endorsement since an infamous photo of him and a bong was published.

Phelps and H2O Audio announced a multi-year endorsement deal Tuesday for the company's waterproof sports headphones and accessories.

The company will feature Phelps, who won eight gold medals in Beijing, in a summer ad campaign, H2O CEO Kristian Rauhala said.

It is Phelps' first deal since being dropped by Kellogg's in the wake of the photo scandal last February.
