I recently received the SwiMP3 for my birthday and it really helped me get motivated to swim laps in the swimming pool in no time. I am thinking of taking this waterproof mp3 player snorkeling but I’m afraid it might fall off and sink down at the bottom of the ocean.

Hi David, I did post a review for the H2O Audio waterproof iPod case, but forgot to put it in the gear review section, plus the title was a bit cryptic before, so it wasn't easy to find, but click here to read it. In a nutshell, the H2O Audio system is hands down 10 times better than the Finis Swimp3 system. As for the Finis earplug version, I can't say how the H20 Audio version compares since I haven't tried that, but I suspect I would still like the H2O Audio version better because I like that it's not an actual mp3 player, just a case for my iPod, and I would prefer to use the same mp3 player for all my workouts, rather than dealing with a single audio book on two different mp3 players.

Exactly the same. Works for music, not for audiobooks. I too, prefer to work out to the audiobooks. I swim with a snorkle (neck vertebra injury) and I tried putting the Swimp3 under the swimcap and the strap for the snorkle (putting goggles on first, under the cap and snorkle). It was still not loud enough.

I was wondering if the H20 Audio worked. I was also thinking about the earplug Swimp3 from Finis that is not the bone conduction version, but the earplug version. (For what its worth, I have had water in ear problems, as well, but when I started swimming with the swim snorkle, the water in the ear problem went away, because you don’t turn your head.)

I just got the H2O Audio waterproof cover for my iPod Shuffle yesterday. I’ll be using it for the first time tomorrow and will post a review sometime soon after that. I’m pretty excited about it. Hope it works well.

I found the same problem. I wish I had read your note before I spent ~$130 on the thing.

I am thinking, though, that maybe if I wear a swimcap (odd for a guy, but so what!) maybe it will be louder…. please email me at gojakang@drury.edu if anyone has found a solution to this problem. Thanks! Greg
