Product Review: Speedo Aquabeat Waterproof MP3 Player

[sspalf001]

I have been using this MP3 player for about 2 months and usually swim for about 1 hour. My main conclusion to date is that swimming with this gadget is most probably better than without - but it is far from perfect. The main problem I have is getting water in my ears. If that happens, then you basically hear nothing. If I am lucky, this does not happen, i.e. I get my one hour done with a more or less decent sound. But usually after about 1km you get water in your ear and then that's it...

somehow it's more interesting to watch the review when a woman does it

[kbuss10]

im in love :) and not with the mp3 player ;)

Thanks for the review! Did you ever find a solution to the "water getting in the ear" issue? or do you just have to put up with it kinda thing?

[tiana33]

@0111001101100001 Not really, unfortunately... But after a while you do kinda figure out the best way to position them so minimal water gets in. I think that issue might be a little unavoidable though.

[3omdaz]

I got the 2 GB LZR Limited Edition and I LOVE IT!!

I swam twice my regular exercise just because I wasn't bored (nor tired)...

The earphones are a bit uncomfortable sometimes, but other than than, its very convenient!

am in japan and my swiwming coach got me these wireless earbuds? its like a hearing aid and a little thing go in the end of your ipod the range is around 150 meter or so its a bit short but since the pools are 25 meter its works pretty well

[iammdeepak1]

Do the ear plugs keep fallin out of the ears?

[tiana33]

@iammdeepak1 Nope they actually stay in really well

[acapulco83]

Thank u so much... now i'm sure going to buy it on ebay... ;)

[TH6476]

Can you also swim with the extensions? Because when I extend my earphones, there is still a milimeter jack - metal visible. thanks in advance for your quick reply

[tiana33]

@TH6476 Come to think of it, I haven't actually tried swimming with the extension. There isn't anything stating that this would be a problem, though, so it should be safe. Just a guess though -- sorry for the lack of insight here!

[unterpfanne]

Thank you. There is a review for everything here ;) but i like the true ones from people using it every day. Just bought it. Thanks ;)

[alangrisolia]

beautiful eyes!

[louisemarykemp]

this gadget is brilliant, makes swimming so much less boring! only trouble is cant transfer some of my itunes songs over!

[mikee286]

do you have to use special headphones with it or will it work with any normal headphones?

[tiana33]

@mikee286 It works with any headphones, but make sure they're waterproof if you're using it in the pool! The headphones it comes with are waterproof.

[mikee286]

@tiana33 I didn't think any headphones were water proof completely they just have no bass after getting wet

[madcamels44]

Thanks for the review it has been a lot of help (there right about the eyes)

[Ernest4502]

A very thorough review. You talked about most of the things that would have worried me. Thanks :)

[abobrinhaification]

Thanks for the review! Beautiful eyes

[Aussiegirl265]

LOL I'm also kind of retarded sometimes. Hahahha :D

[Aussiegirl265]

Cool! My dad just got an underwater ipod shuffle and it's great.

[moojoa]

brilliant review - thanks ! What OS do you use - does Win 7 support the Aquabeat ? thanks - have a good week :)

[tiana33]

@moojoa Thanks! I use Windows 7. I just plugged it in and transferring music is a simple drag-and-drop using Windows Explorer.

[lingberagh]

How do you use it when swimming? Do you put it in your pocket?

[tiana33]

@lingberagh Just clip it on to your goggles or clothes, it wedges pretty securely on there. :)

[Waninio]

Just bought one!

[MVollans]

Great review I think im going to buy one cause im bored to death swimming laps. oh and you have the most beautiful blue eyes.

[tiana33]

@MVollans Thank you! I definitely recommend one, swimming laps gets pretty dull without music.

[krustygsh]

@MVollans I second that those are very beautiful eyes

[Mrjaminjan]
