I can use it riding my jet ski, cutting grass or at work, being waterproof makes it good for any type of condition!
THE IDEA IS GREAT. BUTTONS ARE HARD TO PUSH. I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY FIRST ONE BUT SWIMOUTLET TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME AND RESHIPPED A REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY.IF I'D HAD THIS 30 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A KID, YOU'D NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THE POOL
Instructions are difficult to understand. I had to get help. One earphone is barely audible, the other is fine. FM reception is poor in indoor pools. Overall, listening to music makes the time of lap swimming appear to go by much quicker.
I love to work out in the pool and it has been so enjoyable now.I can load the music I like to listen to and set up my own exercise music.It took me a little time to learn all the duel use of the buttons, but once you get the long and short pauses down the MP3 is a gem.
I like the smaller style of this MP3. Its easy to clip on my goggles and to tuck up the wires. Its alot different not to get water in my ear due to the ear buds. My only draw back is the earbuds, but i have small ears,its not that bad once they get used to them. I also like being able to choose between radio, which i can get in the pool, and a play list.
Loved using it when it worked. I went through two and both leaked and becaome unusable after only a couple of uses. Other negatives: the UI is difficult to navigate (same buttons do multiple things depending on how long held, short click, medium click, long click...) the FM receiver does not get good reception, and did not sync well (files would download but not show up in playlist... after resynching, the files were marked as already on the player).
