The new DOLPHIN 1GB Waterproof MP3 player is tailored for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Its design allows for minimal impact on athletic performance.

This ultra light and compact player only weighs 25g and has a dimension of 60 x 20 x 20mm. Its cylindrical-shaped casing features a minimalistic look with all control buttons located on one side, and the headphone jack on the other side. The earphone attaches to the player via a special screw-in jack to keep the device water-tight. Both the earphone and player were tested to comply with the IPx7 international water resistant standard.

The earphone employs a special non-woven fabric membrane to keep the speaker vibration plate dry while maintaining a high quality sound output. The earpieces are attached with a soft silicon earplug that fits snugly in the ears. The earplugs not only keep the earphones dry but also prevent the earphones from coming loose during vigorous activity. Operating time for the DOLPHIN MP3 player is roughly 8 hours when fully charged, and recharging time is about 1.5 hours. Recharging (and file downloading) can be done via USB.

Overall, fun product
By Alexis from San Diego, CA on 6/30/2010
Positives: holds plenty of music for long workouts, making laps really enjoyable and open water swims more motivating - I had already become so used to my ipod on land that I almost cant workout without music anymore!!  A great compact design, easy to attach on your goggles or, more comfortably for me-  on my suit strap.  Easy to use/navigate, easy to upload to.  Holds great charge.  

Drawbacks: ear plugs are capable of fitting very snug, but this makes them not so comfortable.  And, they need to be snug, b/c if water gets into them, it will obstruct the sound somewhat.  If you can snug them in and "man up" to a little ear pressure, the sound quality is quite good!  

Despite some draw backs, Im happy overall to be able to enjoy music durring long swims.  No issues with leaking to date, and have used a few times a week for several months so far.  Would recommend!

Underwater Tunes
By Mac from Killeen, TX on 3/23/2010
This is a really good product.  I have used it only a few times so far due to construction on the gym where my pool is.  The sound is pretty good, even all the way submersed.  I keep wondering if anyone else can hear the tunes underwater.
Be prepared if you get this product.  When it says MP3 player, it only plays songs in MP3 format.  I had this in the back of my mind when I got it and put a bunch of songs on it, only to have half of them not play.  It was an easy fix though, I downloaded a program called Switch and it can convert files into the correct format for you.
I have nejoyed listening to tunes while swimming laps.  It makes my workout go by a little bit faster.

Very pleased after 1 swim
By Joe from Buffalo NY on 11/26/2009
I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before buying this product.  I seriously considered the "jawbone" products, but ultimately decided to go with this in-the-ear product.  I have only swam laps with it once so far, for a little less than an hour (3000 yards), in a pool.  I was VERY pleased with it!  I attached it to the back of my goggle strap, coiled up the extra wire slack, and then put my swim cap over the top (I always put my goggles under my swim cap... it's a triathlon thing... helps prevent losing your goggles when you get hit in the head during the mass start swim).  It was not cumbersome at all, the ear buds stayed in my ears without any problem at all, and I was very happy with the sound quality.

Imagine listening to your hand-picked music while you swim those laps...
By Rich T. from Wimberley, TX on 10/7/2009
I've had this mp3 player for a couple of months now, and I've been more than pleased.  When I swim laps I've always gone into my own world.  Now the world I go into can be customized by the music I've selected to hear.  Technically: this is a water-tight rig, it works very well for me, especially with the longer plugs that come with it.  The sound is clear - not outstanding, but these are earbuds after all - quite satisfactory.  I have even used it while driving home from the pool.  A couple of suggestions: use zip-tie loops to hold the ear bud cords to your goggle strap - if you happen to catch one of them with a hand in motion, you can ruin a pair of ear buds (as I did).  Get into a routine of recharging (USB connection to computer or USB hub) about once a week.  I like this little rig so much that I bought one for my 22-year-old son.
