OK I am addicted to swimming with music. But why can't someone make a player that lasts!!
I love the Finis Swimp3 but have to send it in every 2-3 months as it dies on me. To their credit they have been great about fixing and replacing the players at no charge to me but it's a hassle.
I'm not trying the DolphinLite and it's USB cable is bad ( I've had it 10 days )
What do people use that they are happy with? I use it about 6 hours a week.

I swim with this

Works great, but my issue is I have been through 3 pairs of headphones (all diff brands) and I can't find a pair that I don't spend forever messing with.
Also, I have contacted CS about 5 times with no response b/c their headphones stopped working correctly within weeks.
WOW, I had the first Finis MP3 player and the one ear piece cracked,they upgraded me,and I have not had any trouble with it. I just love having music to swim.:chug:
I was just wondering. For those of you that have mp3 players, what is your favorite song to swim with? I have a really odd one. My favorite is "Define Dancing" from the WALL-E soundtrack.
I once swam at a pool that had underwater speakers. It was pretty sick. I think that would be the best solution haha.
I think the SwiMP3 is the best option out there. I hear you on reliability though.
swimp3 all the way for me. Tried ear buds with a waterproof iPod in the past, and got so pi$$ed at one workout (b/c of the headphones) that I just left. I was so not in the mood to swim after spending 25 minutes trying to get a seal in my ear so I coudl hear the music.
Now, I don't worry. I always hear my music just fine thru my skull!
I haven't purchased anything yet but I have been doing alot of research. This might be a more expensive option but being a techie, I may not be able to pass it up. I am thinking about getting the waterproof ipod shuffle with a pair of Bone Conduction earbuds.

I love swimming with music now!
I just got a waterproof iPod from Waterfi
It was great for me, because all my songs are on iTunes already. Plus apple just tends to have more reliable products.
Its worked great so far, and I love it!
If anyone is interested you can find it at http://www.waterfi.com
Good Luck!
