The product is good but extremely hard to open and a pain to open every time you want turn the shuffle on and off. I would recommend something a little user friendly
I have been swimming for 40+ years of my life, 12 of them competitively. I love the fact that I can hear my favorite tunes to pace myself while I do my laps. The belt and and housing unit and ipod are awesome. I am small. Thus, small head. The headphones are not adjustable so, what a nuisance they are. I am constantly stopping at the wall to adjust the headphones. I really love the music while I swim. It would be a perfect item if the headphones weren't so poorly designed.
Swimming laps in pool. Volume is great when you use the rubber ear plugs that come with. Can control on/off, volume, forward/back while all connected and in water. Love it, Love it. Not so good, I need to order more ear plugs and sealant and do not know how thru this source..
Make sure to apply small amount of lube (included w/ purchase) around the edge for tight water seal. Read a very simple direction & you're good. Say goodbye to boring laps. Enjoy it with music & keeps water away from ears. Cons..I had to remove the headband from earphones because it kept falling off & just use the earphones, then secure it by wearing Super Benie by Body Glove ( about $13), it helps you stay warmer & longer in water & keep the earphones secured hassle-free. It's an ultimate enjoyment while swimming. I recommended it to my family & friends. So far, we are all loving it. I must warn you all that with music, swimming can be addicting.
I have been using this consistently for the last 6 months and think it totally does the trick. It is necessary to read the instructions to get it set up but once you get the hang of it it works perfectly. I couldn't imagine doing laps with it.
The housing, headphones and swimbelt were a great deal. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the headphones included to remain water-tight. Swimoutlet was absolutely great and exchanged them for the Surge model for a small upgrade charge. Swimoutlet gets 5 stars.
