Excellent waterproof Mp3 player for LAP SWIMMERS. This player stays in place and works best when fully submerged. The sound quality is good but don't expect strong bass or very loud volume. Works best when used in conjunction with earplugs to block ambient pool noise. Can be used with just about any type of swim goggles...I use swedish goggs with the thin straps and it works great...stays put with strong pushes off the wall and all the head turning to breath! (some versions of this player come with goggles, mine did not). If you shop for this player, try to get the V2 version which has double the memory of the original and all of the controls are right on the side cheek bone player as opposed to a separate control pack that the original had which mounted on the back of your goggle straps.
After A LOT of research, I tried the speedo aquabeat first (USELESS FOR LAP SWIMMING...would be so-so for beach//surfing//boogie boarding///other water activities where your head remains primarily above water), and this player far out performs the Speedo Aquabeat in terms of comfort, staying in place, and providing decent sound quality. THIS IS CURRENTLY THE BEST UNDERWATER MP3 PLAYER OUT THERE FOR LAP SWIMMERS. All those that say it is to loud, were probably not using it correctly...it is designed to fire into the cheek bones and the vibrations conduct to your eardrums to produce the sound...those who put the player directly over the ear canal will find it to be quite loud. When worn properly, I found the volume to be sufficient but not even close to being to loud.
I have not experienced any of the headaches that a few others have claimed in their reviews...and I use this player to swim laps non-stop for an hour and a half each day, 5 days a week.
The software is easy to use with the standard drag and drop menus in windows. Others have also claimed there is no "shuffle" or random play feature, but there is if you read the instructions...you just have to hold down 2 buttons (the fwd and rev commands) at the same time on the player for 1 second and it's set to shuffle...very easy.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MP3 player to anyone who uses lap swimming for working out or competative swim training, it makes the time just fly by and you're no longer bored doing those long marathon swims...1 Caveat - it would not be well suited for use at the beach or on surfboards/boogie boards or other water activities where your head remains primarily out of the water as the sound conduction only really works well when it's submerged as previously stated. Good luck and enjoy if you buy this player...I found it to be well worth the money!
