Great swimming companion.

I love this product. It works great and the sound quality is sufficient to entertain me while I'm doing long swim workouts. An added bonus for me: with the bone conduction technology I can wear earplugs to keep water out of my ears.

You plug it into your computer USB port to charge, and although it only has 256MP of storage space it is really easy to update songs and podcasts when it's charging. Finis (the manufacture) updated the product and gave a $99 discount when exchanging with the new product. I now use the newer version SwiMP3 v2) which is less bulky and (slightly) easier to use then this original product.

My only complaint is the multi-function buttons which control both volume and track. You press and HOLD to raise or lower volume. If you don't hold the button long enough it skips or starts over the track I'm playing. I rarely have this problem any longer, once I became accustomed to the controls.
