Review Updates,After giving this player a second try, I am feeling a little better about it. I wore it for almost 2 hours during a 5K swim of various sets ( IM, Free, Pull, underwaters kick ). I swapped to the larger Trees for the ear buds, and now they stay more secure in my ears, and the bass sounds a little better as well, still not perfect, but its a lot better than before. I think part of the problem is the drivers on these are rather large, especially when compared to other swim buds. making it hard to press them deep into your ear. Only issue is when taking the ear buds off between sets so I could talk with my swim friends, when I would go to try to put the earbuds back in, it took some effort. Its balance, they are extra soft, which makes they comfortable, but then they also very easily squish instead of going deep into your ear canal. This time instead of clipping them onto my goggle straps vertically, I decided to rotate them 90 degrees. This helped a little with reducing the drag, but still on flip turns I would feel it tugging more than I would like.Over all the screen is a nice feature, but for swimming completely not needed, unless you want to manage your playlists directly on the device. I typically swim listening to the same 50 or so tracks in a loop. I still feel the Clip is too thick, and this player is too large. Needs to be much smaller. I know they boast of the long batter life, but really nobody is going to swim for 12 hours straight. I think 4-6 hours battery life would be more than enough. I have decided to revise my original rate from 2 stars to 3 stars. Its not terrible, but not perfect either. I will continue to revise my review over my next few swims, so report on how they are holding up.Original ReviewI was really hoping this would work, as I have tried just about every other Swimming MP3 player they sell on Amazon. I am now considering returning this only after 1 swim. Getting music loaded on it was easy as every other player I have used. Assuming you are just dragging and dropping MP3s onto it. The menu was easy to figure out. However this is only when you are looking at it. When you have it clipped onto your goggle straps on the back of your head, its hard to remember what button does what other than the play / pause button, and when you hit the wrong button you end up having to take it off to look it and it and navigate it back to the correct menu setting. I would get the music started then get it clipped onto my goggle straps. But in the process its too easy to hit one of the buttons by accident, cause the music to stop and it to navigate into the menu somewhere, causing you to take it off again.Audio Quality.The audio quality lacks any punch to the bass. I tried a few different sets of ear buds and they all had the same result. If you turn it up, the bass gets muddy fast, giving you that classic ghetto Blown Subs in the back of your buddy's old car. I tried the different EQ settings, and even though some were a little better than others, none of them got the bass right. If you like to listen to music that is high on treble, and mid range, this player would work, but if you like good clean punchy Bass, don't even consider this player.Poor design, and ClipWhoever designed this ether never did any swimming, or if they did they never put their face in the water, or did any flip turns. This thing is unfortunately thick! and the clip is not very strong. The result is on flip turns when you push off the wall, you will feel it tugging on the back of you head. Its to the point where the water rushing by ripped it off my goggle straps twice. The included short cord ear buds were a good length, but once again the coiled part of the wire, would catch the water. The earbud tips were soft, making them very comfortable, but getting them pushed deep into your ears was not easy as they tend to squish.If you barely put your face in the water, don't do flip turns, and don't care about bass in your music, this MP3 player is not a bad deal, I only have used it for one swim, and it didn't leak. I can't comment on how long it would last, but for me the poor design and feeling like a water catching brick strapped to the back of your head was just too much.

I use this unit while I exercise in a pool. I appreciate the good sound and especially the visual display. I can see the songs and select which one I want to hear. Many other waterproof units do not have a visual display.

Parfait!!!!

Finally! After all the searching, reading and asking - I found it. This mp3 player really works in water. You fasten it was a sturdy clip on your bra, trunk, cap or goggle lining and off you go! I use it for swim training in pool for approx. 1,5h sessions currently and it works like a charm. Headphone plugs come in different sizes so you can adapt to your ears. I tend charge it for an hour or so, make sure to plug the cable in properly before going into the water and thoroughly dry it after each session before plugging the headphones in again or charging it. Uploading the mp3's is super easy, just drag n drop. I will report back here if anything happens, but so far, this actually works 💯🌊

I had so many audiobooks, I could not upload it from my Mac, nor I could use itunes. But it is nice to have a little display. I will continue to use my water prof Ipod shuffle

Questa è la terza volta che li uso in piscina e li trovo molto comodi. Lo pinzo dietro la testa agganciandoli agli occhialini e non mi accorgo di averlo. I tappi sono perfettamente isolanti e la musica si sente abbastanza bene. Quando la testa è sotto acqua,ovviamente, risulta un po' attutito ma sono oggetti che servono per distrarre dalla monotonia delle vasche e quindi, chi pretende di avere un sound da studio di incisioni in cuffia, è un povero illuso e probabilmente non nuota nemmeno. Il packaging dell'oggetto è davvero carino ed anche i materiali di cui è fatto sembrano di buona qualità. All'interno trovate, oltre ad altri tappi e vari cavi, anche un piccolo libretto delle istruzioni anche in italiano. PS: anche il lettore è dotato di lingua italiana. Effettivamente, come già qualcuno faceva notare, è un pochino lento nel trasferimento degli MP3 dal PC ma bisogna capire che il cavo che si usa è un USB che termina in Jack per le cuffie e che quindi non è studiato per quello. Consiglierei, per il prossimo modello, una ricarica wireless o almeno una connessione Bluetooth o wifi. Al di là di tutto sono super soddisfatto, anche del prezzo.

Das tägliche Kachelzählen ist mir allmählig zu langweilig geworden und die hiesigen Läden wollten für ihren Wasserfesten Krempel 150 € aufwärts haben. Ich wollte ja nicht gleich eine Unterwasserdisco kaufen, sondern lediglich ein bisschen was anderes hören, als mein eigenes Bahnenzählen. Ich habe ihn jetzt erst 2 Tage aber ich bin absolut begeistert bisher. Das waren die Bestinvestierten 40 € in meinem Leben.Der Mp3 Player wird mit sehr kurzen Kopfhörern geliefert. Zusätzlich wird eine Verlängerung mitgeliefert. Diese ist meiner Meinung nach jedoch nicht wirklich notwendig, da sie sonst nur beim schwimmen stören würde. Da ich ohne Brille und Badekappe schwimme, klemme ich mir den Mp3 Player direkt an den Badeanzug zwischen die Brüste. Da er auch nicht besonders schwer ist, hält alles an Ort und Stelle. Nix verrutscht bei egal welchem Schwimmstil und auch die Rollwende macht er problemlos mit.Die Bedienung ist simpel. Die Hold-Funktion sollte man beim Schwimmen jedoch nicht benutzen, hier kommt es sonst zu Entsperrungs-Problemen (scheint das Wasser nicht so zu mögen. Aber die ist auch gar nicht notwendig beim schwimmen). Bisher ist der Player 6 Stunden gelaufen und hat noch vollen Akku. Ich für meinen Teil bin mit dem Klang und der Lautstärke mehr als zufrieden. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass der Klang so klar und gut sein würde. Ob da 150 € auszugeben einen großen Unterschied in der Klangqualität gemacht hätten, wage ich jetzt mal zu bezweifeln. Ich kann ihn auf jeden Fall empfehlen.Nach dem Schwimmen sollte man den Mp3 Player jedoch einige Stunden aufrecht aufstellen, bevor man ihn mit dem PC verbindet (Der steht tatsächlich von alleine in einer Kippposition) und die Kopfhörer raus ziehen, damit die Klinke vernünftig trocknen kann, sonst kann es zu Verbindungsproblemen kommen. Ach so, und nicht Wasserfeste Kopfhörer kann man natürlich auch anschließen. Nur halt nicht vergessen, damit dann nicht zu schwimmen lol. Aufladen kann man den Akku am PC via USB oder man kann ihn auch an einen Adapter direkt an den Strom schließen (wie beim Handy. Dieser ist allerdings nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten.)Ich ziehe einen Stern für Wasserfest ab (wegen der gestörten Hold-Funktion). Beim Rest kann ich nur volle Punkte vergeben.Nachtrag 07.12.2021:Nachdem ich das Gerät 2 Jahre im täglichen Gebrauch hatte, ist es allmählig auseinander gefallen. Die Kopfhörer musste ich zwischenzeitlich schon einmal neu nachkaufen, da eine Seite leider nicht mehr funktionierte. Zum Joggen kann ich das alte Gerät noch benutzen, aber zum Schwimmen habe ich mir noch einmal das selbe Gerät nachbestellt, als es wieder verfügbar war. (Ein Glück!) Beim ersten Schwimmen dachte ich erst, das Gerät sei schon kaputt angekommen, da die Kopfhörer nicht richtig funktionierten. Das lag allerdings nicht am Gerät, sondern an der falschen In-Ear Größe. Sobald Wasser reinläuft, hört man wegen dem Wasserdruck nichts. Also drauf achten, dass kein Wasser im Ohr reinlaufen kann.
