Hello!
This might have been covered in another thread but I searched around and couldn't find one. I am looking for recommendations on swimming MP3 players. Specifically, ones you've liked or ones you'd suggest staying away from. I prefer the headphones that actually have a rigid component to keep them on your ears, as opposed to those small earbuds that won't stay in my ears!
Many thanks! :-)

i bought a freestyle one a few years ago.
the ear buds it came with lost sound in one ear after about 10 swims. it didnt have a screen and it jumbled the mp3s you put on it into any order it felt like (making audiobooks an impossibility) the buttons were a pain to push... then when you managed to push the right one you sometimes skipped the next couple tracks or just turned the thing off alltogether (comes from having one button do multiple things) on top of all that the armband was annoying and the mp3 player itself floated like a ping pong ball.
you can tell i liked it
