 Not one but two..Sep 25, 2009
I used this for 1 lap in the pool and it leaked. I returned to company in Hawaii($24) and they sent me a new one. I used the second one for 2 whole laps before it too leaked and quit working. The ear plugs were a little rough on the ears, but otherwise it fit ok. I thought this was my solution to dieing headphones,but it is not a quality product.
 MY FAVORITE SWIM TOY!Sep 08, 2009
One of my all time favorite purchases. I work out in a pool while listening to audio books and this allows me to stay in exercise mode for hours without getting bored. This summer my swimming time was fantastic due to this gem of a product! Comes with 3 sets of different size waterproof ear pieces to change out as per size that gives you best fit for your ears. Player hooks over your ears and business piece is comfortable against the back of your head. Once in a while, ears do get water inside and sound is a little muffled. Just a quick tug of earlobe empties water and sound continues loud and clear.
Twisting off the charger and changing to waterproof swimming piece is a snap once you get the hang of it, though it was a little stiff at first. I recommend that you purchase a 4 gig audio SDmicro card. The player won't accept larger than that, but it's not needed as 4 gigs is a great amount of space, anyway. That allows hundreds of songs and/or several audio books...
Place SD micro card in card reader, insert that in your PC and it's a simple drag and drop process to place your music or audio book files on the card. Btw, when I bought my micro card, AMAZON was running a special and it only cost a few bucks, so I got awesome deals all the way around.
The built in rechargeable battery lasts a good 8-10 hours of use at a time and charging is fairly quick. Red light while charging and green light when finished.
The first thing I did was lose the little piece of aqua colored waterproof material on one earpiece stem. (My fault, I pried it up to look underneath and dropped it in an aqua colored pool) Didn't matter...it just covers part of headphone wire inside earstem and it's still waterproof. I've also gotten the player covered with sunscreen. No damage; smeariness wipes right off with alcohol. Just remember that the piece you put on to charge player is NOT waterproof, though it also has a spot for earphones for use as regular MP3 player.
Controls are phenomenally easy. I just reach behind my head and last button on left is PAUSE. Two vertical buttons next to that change the song (or book chapter) up or down. No need to use it, though, as songs or books continue playing right on in order without toucing a button. Right side button is OFF or ON and vertical buttons next to that are volume UP or DOWN. Sooooo easy to feel with just a finger and really quick to operate by touch alone. There is also a RANDOM PLAY button which I don't use since I'm all about the audio book, but songsters will appreciate mixing their tunes up. Also, there's an automatic bookmark that's set when you turn off the player. Turning it back on takes you right to the spot where you left off listening, which is especially great for books that are all in one file instead of in separate file chapters...
I am LOVIN' me this player and cannot recommend it highly enough, particularly for the fantastic price. I really researched waterproof mp3 players before buying this one and I'm totally happy with it. Last week I brought it on a family trip to 6 flags Hurricane Harbor. My sister's family all took turns testing it in the wave pool. They all liked it so much that she's now getting one for her son at his request, for his B-day. In fact, I stopped here today to get the URL to send her for purchase.
 Great headphonesAug 23, 2009
These headphones work great. They have a good sound, good capacity, long battery life and are pretty easy to use.
The one flaw if I had to choose one is that the means to charge and load new music on the system is somewhat clunky. I understand the need for some of this though as you need to keep the integrity of the "water proofness" of the system. The mechanism for locking the unit to the headphones is just a little to tough to operate.
All in all these were a great buy and value for the dollar, I would buy another with no questions.

 Unintuitive & uncomfortableJul 10, 2009
I couldn't get the headphones to fit snugly. The triple-flange earplugs couldn't go deep enough to create a meaningful seal most of the time. In the few cases where they did, the firm armature flexed while I swam and pulled them out. So I'd head a few seconds of a podcast, then water would get into my ears and I wouldn't be able to hear anything.
About the water getting into my ears: I got an ear infection afterwards. Fantastic. I normally swim with waterproof earplugs exactly to prevent that sort of thing.
Charging the device requires you to twist off the earphone connector and twist in a charging module that charges through Mini-usb. Putting music on the device requires you to, again, twist off any attachment, remove a Micro-SD card and get your MP3s on that somehow. Included in the package is a Micro-SD to USB adapter. Not very friendly.
Perhaps if your head is shaped differently from mine they'd work for you. But probably not. Every other ear-related device on the market (I'm a headphone fanatic) fits and works fine, except for these. I'm familiar with in-ear devices, since I wear earplugs daily and use earbuds that require seals in order to get bass.
It get's two stars because it actually does work underwater.
