SwiMP3

I've now been using the iriver mp3 with the H2OAudio case for a week (?) I think. It replaced the the DOA Finis SWIMP3 The iriver is easy to download to and has a radio as well, its nice and compact and the vulnerable parts-headset and battery are replaceable. THe sound quality with the earphones adjsuted right is great underwater and I asked folks working otu with em and there seems to eb no noise leakage. Negatives-if the case leaks the mp3 is not warrantied, since you are supposed to store the case open you need to be careful about closing it properly each time (thats the trade off for consumer servicable I guess). The earphones have to be adjusted just right-correct angle and not too deep in your ear. THey are really mini-speakers with earplugs mounted over them the earplugs direct the sound. It took some fiddling to get the earphones right and get my cap over them but now it works like a charm and severla otehr folks at the pool are ordering them. So far I've been swimming with it around my neck and tucked into my suit (female) but I want to experminet wiht mounting it to my goggles. THe case is little bit bigger than the finis until but its lighter and floats so I think it would be comfortable once I figure it out. I've used it in flip turns and swimming back and free and my friend tried it for butterfly so far its all good. ALthough ti blocks outt eh obnoxious music the pool pipes in I was able to hear the rain pouring on the roof and people talking to me. Its up to the suer how loud it is at high volumes, I imagine you wouldn't be able to hear over it. THe H2OAudio folks were very responsive to email so if you have any questions, I suggest emailing them!
