Product Description
The SwiMP3 v2 underwater MP3 player is an incredible audio experience. Imagine listening to hours of your own music during your swim workout. The SwiMP3's innovative sound transfer technology offers exception underwater sound quality. Standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water causing the swimmer to perceive only muffled noise. The SwiMP3 uses bone conduction - the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear - to provide the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity. The SwiMP3 is fully waterproof and can be used with all the competitive swim strokes. How Does It Work? The new SwiMP3 is revolutionary in that it relies on bone conduction of sound. When the device is placed on any bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones or the mastoid tip) it leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. Thus swimmers can enjoy clarity of sound with the SwiMP3 device that was never before possible. Bone conduction hearing is a safe well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity. Finis's application of the technology brings an entirely new level of experience to swimmers either while working out or taking a leisurely swim. Bone conduction hearing is essentially an ancient sensory capability that the new SwiMP3 leverages to enhance the experience of swimmers triathletes surfers synchronized swimmers and anyone involved in general water activities. It is a safe proven technology that the SwiMP3 offers to the wide audience of aquatic athletes. PC and Mac Compatible 1GB Rechargable Battery Supported Formats: MP3 & WMA Weighs Only 2 Ounces. About Finis Founded in 1993 by Olympic Gold Medalist Pablo Morales and John Mix Finis develops the most technological and advanced training equipment for the swimming industry.

Ideal for swimmers, triathletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers, and anyone else involved in general water activities, the Finis SwiMP3 1G waterproof MP3 player allows you to listen to music underwater. Unlike standard waterproof MP3 players--which transmit sound through the air or water and produce only a muffled noise when submerged--the SwiMP3 1G relies on your bones to conduct the sound. This direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheekbone to the inner ear produces exceptional sound clarity, so you can listen to all of your favorite tunes while working out or taking a leisurely swim. 
The SwiMP3 1G attaches to your swim goggles or snorkeling mask. | The SwiMP3 1G also shines from a music standpoint, with 1GB of memory and support for both MP3 and WMA files. Listeners have a basic selection of controls, including volume, shuffle, and resume, with an MP3 control panel built into the side panel. And when you're ready to swim, the player attaches easily to your swim goggle or snorkeling mask. Other details include a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 8 hours per charge, a built-in USB plug that inserts directly into your computer (no cable required), and a lightweight housing that weighs only 2 ounces. Designed to hold approximately 240 songs, the SwiMP3 1G is compatible with Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me, and XP and Mac OS 9.x and 10.x. Features: - Patented Bone-Conduction Technology: Directly vibrates the inner ear to create the highest quality of music underwater
- New Sleek Design with Strap Clip: Allows unit to be attached easily to any swim goggle or snorkeling mask
- Integrated MP3 Panel: Incorporates On/Off, Volume, Next/Previous Track, Pause, and Shuffle functions

 When it works, it's AWESOME. I hold my breath every time I try to turn it on. September 5, 2010
R H
I've had this for 9 months, and I swim 2-3x/wk. Because there are so few buttons on it, it is very mysterious as to what's going on if you hit "Play" (aka "Power"---what a bad idea) and nothing happens. Adding to the confusion is the one indicator light (green) under practically opaque BLUE plastic, which makes it next to impossible to see most time (like being outside next to the lap pool). WHY????
Also, it appears to discharge itself at random in my gym bag. So every time I pull it out, I hold my breath, squint at it multiple times, and attempt to push the correct combination of buttons to make it turn on and play. When it does, I love it. Unless it stops playing while I'm swimming.
Finally, I have very few mp3 files. Because it's not able to read more than mp3's or wma's I have to go through my library and convert them....storing two versions of the same file on my harddrive. This means I never ever change the music on there. :(
I don't think there are other good options on the market right now, so this is it--better than nothing, right?
As a final note, (despite my confidence that I didn't accidentally get water in it) now it doesn't appear to be charging, recognizable by the computer, or play music. Le sigh.
 It's amazing how well they work! August 30, 2010

I read several reviews of both this and the Speedo mp3 player, and decided to buy these. Wow! I am totally impressed!
First, I can't believe the sound conducts so well through my cheekbones. Underwater, it sounds totally amazing, and it seems loud enough that I would think others in the pool could hear it, too, but so far no one's given me any crazy looks, so I think they can't. Above water, it's not so bad. It's noticeably quieter, sure, but it's not like your music cuts off completely when your head's out of the water, which is what I was afraid of.
The headphones/cheekphones/whatever-they-are stayed in place perfectly while I was swimming freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, even with flip turns. With butterfly, they tipped back at an angle and started covering my ears, which made it quieter in the water and louder out of the water, but it wasn't super obnoxious, and it didn't bother me to wait until the next time I stopped to straighten them again. Full disclosure: I'm not doing more than 50 yards of butterfly at a time. If I were psychotic enough to do 500 yards of butterfly at one stretch, my decision might be different. My guess is that diving into the water would shift these puppies as well, but that's not an issue for me. And it's possible that if you tighten your goggles enough so that your eyes bug out, they would stay in place anyway. I'm not going to test that theory.
My goggles didn't leak at ALL with these clipped on. I use the basic TYR Racetech goggles, and they worked just fine.
The charging process and drag-and-drop music transfer process were remarkably simple. The only thing I thought was weird was that on mine, I didn't have three folders pre-programmed onto it for playlists. It was blank, which basically means I have one playlist. This is fine with me. I might later try to reformat the drive to see if the three playlists pop up, but I'm good for now.
I've just been getting back into the pool on a regular basis, and I'm still pathetically out of shape. With this mp3 player, it makes it much easier for me to swim longer without focusing on how tired I am. I went from 1,250 yards one day to 2,000 yards the next, mostly because I was able to be entertained enough by the music to stomach through it.
The nerd appeal of the bone conduction technology is another huge plus. It's definitely a conversation piece at the pool.
I highly recommend this mp3 player, and I'm gonna use the hell out of it.

I've been using the Finis SwiMP3, along with the Aqua Spere Stationary swimmer, theFinis swimmer's snorkel and earplugs fro the local wlagreens to swim in our backyard pool all summer. The combination is PERFECTION! I know - it's a lot of equipment - but the payoff is I'm able to swim endlessly whenever it's convienent for me. I don't have to share a lane, go through a locker room, pay a membership fee, drive to the pool, stuff my work clothes in a small locker... The SwiMP# has worked very well. The buttons are sort of small and tough to find once it's attached to your goggler strap, but I trun it on shuffle before I put my goggles on and I'm good to go. I recharge it through my lap top, or plug it in to a port on my computer at work during the day - no need to spend extra money on a charger you really don't need. The sound quality is excellent with earplugs. It's really amazing. I guess I'll return to the Y this winter - I'll see how it works lap swimming with turns then.
