swimp3 vs. H2O audio

i've been debating the same purchase. love to workout to music!!! can't live without my thumps and ipod. i'll check back for results. thanks for starting this out!

Swim MP3 player rocks..not headphones to fiddle with and works well. Price has come down a bit since I bought mine.

All the folks at the pool I have seen with other brands/types never can get them to work well and are playing adjusting with them their whole swim as they fall out of their ears. I have trouble with sweat and my headphones falling out in regular MP3 player add in lots more water and head is in the water doesn't logically seem it would work well and it doesn't.

No headphones seems odd but really works well just slip under your google strap and you are good to go.

The one issue I have with the swimp3 is the rechargeable battery. I've read that when the battery dies you can't replace it. Is that true?

Got the H2O for Christmas; continue to have r-ear headphone issue(same w/i pod headphones) BUT when they stay in it's GREAT!!

can you guys post a link to a decent waterproof mp3 player?

These are the two I'm looking at:

Since I already own a 2nd gen iPod shuffle, I just ordered the H2O product.  It is $80 versus $150 for the swimp3.  It looks like you need to wear a cap to keep the ear phones in place.  I usually don't wear a cap, but I guess that will change.  While the bone sound transmitting technology looks cool, it only stores 60 songs.  I'll let you know how I like the H20!

I should clarrify, that the swimp3 only stores 60 songs.  The H20 is limited only by the iPod.

I only have to charge it at most once a month.

Not sure what happens if the battery dies and can't be recharged. We tend to upgrade this type of thing every couple of years so not a big issue for me. Possible battery issue vs. not keeping headphones in my years easy decision for me...no cords and easy to use is the Finnis SwimMP3 player.

I have seen the price in the $130s. Trisports.com has 20% off everything sale going on today.

I have both and think the the sound quality of the swimp3 is way better; haven't had any real battery issues with it eaither.

Thanks for the info.... I think I will purchase one today at trisports.
