Compare Prices : Finis SwiMP 3 256MB

Review summary: The SwiMP3 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...

Review summary: Finis designs all sorts of aquatic sporting gear, so the $139 SwiMP3 digital music player isn't coming from the same minds that have engineered, say, the iPod or the Zune. That makes this waterproof MP3 player all the more impressive: It works well ...

Pros: Works underwater. Attaches to swim goggles for stable fit. Tunes are easy to load.

Cons: Overpriced for 256MB of storage. Supports only MP3 and WMA audio files.

Verdict: The SwiMP3 is not the best digital audio player you can buy, but because it's waterproof and easy to listen to and use while swimming, it's in a league of its own.

Review summary: I think I love the SwimP3. As someone who enjoys the occasional 20 lengths in the local municipal pool, my problem with the activity is that it's dull as dishwater (if not quite the same colour). It's the one solo sport you could never use an MP3 ...

Pros: Great concept, Works well

Cons: Expensive

Verdict: A novel idea, and that's worth a lot, although

Review summary: The SwiMP3 could add some fun to your swim routine, if you can afford it--just beware of potential nausea-inducing inner ear imbalance.

Pros: Utilizes innovative bone-conduction audio technology ; sounds fine underwater ; allows swimmers to break up the splashy monotony with tunes ; comes with its own goggles but can be used with other brands

Cons: Expensive ; placement of controls on the back of the head makes it difficult to operate ; excessively loud if not placed directly against cheekbones ; can cause nausea ; doesn't include wall charger
