    These were purchased for working out in the gym. I like that they block out ambient noise from the horrible music they play there. They are good for the actual lifting component of exercise, but I don't find them good for cardio or warm up. The earpieces are kind of heavy, and the change in ear pressure with each step makes the music fade in and out. Great for mowing the lawn.

      Hello Terminus, we always appreciate customers who take the time to give us their feedback. We'll pass what you've said onto proper department regarding the weight of the earpiece for future reference. Thank you very much! Dave Sonystyle

    I prefer the feel of the previous model but this one does the job. It seems like the battery drains quicker too. Still a great device for running or traveling. The sound is great

    There was a very thorough instruction manual that I was a little nervous as to how complicated set up would be, but pretty much connect to your computer and drag and drop your music. Was very impressed with the sound quality was much deeper bass and richer sound than would have expected. Haven't tried the underwater use, but found the idea interesting if I ever take up swimming

    I bought this Sports MP3 Player for a birthday present for my wife. I knew that she enjoyed listening to music while exercising in the pool. This is the perfect player for use in the pool. Lightweight, waterproof, plenty of battery power.

    I specially love this as this is water proof for swimming. But my previous one, the audio level dropped on the left. Luckily I had a best buy insurance and got a replacement.

    I was looking for something that I could wear swimming that would hold up to water, and have reasonable functionality. The two things that I wish I could accomplish are: 1. scan between chapters. I listen to books most of the time. 2. Use a bookmark. Other than that, I am very happy. There is an issue with volume when listening to a book in a noisy pool, but nothing is perfect.

    Good in the water. wish it had some attachment to secure it to my goggles even though they have never come off. The computer interface could use a little work.

    If you're looking for a wire- free, worry- free workout I highly recommend this portable. Very comfortable in the ears (comes with different size buds to customize a secure fit). Water and sweat not a problem. I like the affordability and quality of this one. May not satisfy sound aficionados, but it more than serves the purpose for a great workout.

    YOU HAVE TO DO A LITTLE WORK TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE SMALLISH BUTTONS BEFORE YOU CAN UTILIZE THEM W/O TAKING THE APPARATUS OFF YOUR HEAD DURING YOUR SWIM....BUT MOSTLY THIS THING WORKS FINE....BUT AS WITH ALL THE BRAGGING THESE COMPANYS DO ABOUT BATTERY LIFE FIVE HOURS IS PRETTY MUCH THE MAX THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED....THAT SAID PEOPLE PROBABLY DONT SWIM AS MUCH AS I DO SO THAT'S NOT MUCH OF AN OBJECTION..I SAY BUY IT.... IT'S CHEAPER THAN THE WATERPROOF IPOD WHICH HAS ONLY 2 GIG OF MEMORY...BUT THAT ONE BY THE WAY IS A GREAT MACHINE TO....YOUR CALL...

    Good sound, but when you use it for a long period of time is not as comfortable as I thought. I think I should use them more often to get use o it.
