I got a membership at a gym near my house and just found it really difficult to swim for a long period of time w/o any music to listen to and keep me going. I was scepticle about if the armband would actually keep my (brand new) ipod safe but it does and the sound quality out of the overboard headphones i got is great too. I highly recommend this product to any serious swimmer. Gotta have this if you can't live without your music!

This is one of the best investments I made in my training.  Makes my swims more enjoyable - just get one, you won't regret it.  I gave it 4 stars since it's a little tough getting my Sansa player in and out of the amband with the inside being rubber and plastic - doesn't slide in very easy.  A cloth lining might have been a better design, but it still does the job.  Armband is nice an snug and doesn't bother at all when I swim.  Highly recommended.

Makes swimming even more enjoyable. Just don't expect a regular Ipod earphones quality sound, but it's acceptable. Easy to change music settings even while in water. The earphones comes in a different sizes of ear covers so you can choose comfortable fitting. It's attractive & you'll meet new friends as people would be asking about the product. Cons; the earphones kept falling off especially while doing the free style, but able to keep it on for the most part with breast stroke. But its easy to solve the problem, use a benie ( super benie by Body Glove ) or any brand of your choice that would hold the earphones even swimming in the ocean. With benie, keeps you warmer so you'll stay longer in the water. The size is a bit bulky. For this reason, I did not give it a 5 star. And I just wish they can make a better quality sound earphones. I realize that under water the sound will be compromized, but who knows, someday. I would recomend this product to family & friends.

I use the armband for lap swimming. It is great! I was worried that it would rub against by body and irritate my skin but it doesn't at all! It is really comfortable. Great product.
