    It's hard to get the hang of inserting the earbuds securely. The controls are very small and can get pushed accidentally while you're adjusting the buds. It also should be easier to tell whether the device is on or off. But once you get the hang of it, the device is great. The sound quality is good and it makes laps much easier to do.

    MP3 player works great while swimming and have not had any issues with the waterproofing of the equipment. The only con is the fitting of the band which is easily resolved with the goggles holding them in place.

    I have been swimming with these, running, in the gym, you name it I've done it and cannot complain. Some people don't like that the device can't link to your phone but personally I like it better because it is one less thing to carry with me in the gym and get distracted by.

    I came across mediocre reviews for them as an underwater unit but I have primarily used them as a wireless mp3 solution for running and working out. Very comfortable, good sound quality and exceeded expectations on battery life. Say goodbye to wires!

    In a market crowded with Bluetooth devices--this portable player is a GODSEND. Takes some tedious adjusting but once a comfort level is achieved...pure bliss--as the content is my own upload. Sorry that SONY stopped marketing this device....

    Nevermind to the common iPhone strapped to your arm. You need freedom to move and these work awesome. This is my second pair and I'll keep buying them (after I overuse them) as long as they keep making them. Awesome product.

    I have used it for several times when swimming, and it works good in the water. However, it is not comfortable to wear it for a long time(20 or 30 mins). Also, the battery does not last long.

    I have used this product and so has my son. I jog and work out with mine and I am pretty gentle with it, while my son is a little rougher and he uses it for not only working out but for everyday use and he has had to replace his twice because he will end up with a short on one side or the other.

    I bought for my kids to use in bed at night to listen to their digital books. I like them because they don't pose a strangulation threat like other headphones would. I considered wireless headphones, but could not find an mp3 player that worked with wireless that did not have video capability. (I specifically didn't wan the kids watching videos in bed). The buttons are a little tough for my 8 year old to manipulate because they are so small. My 11 year old does fine. I had to buy a special converter to convert the books I bought at audible.com to allow them to play on this device. Not sure how it would work with itunes etc. as I have not tried this.
