    Great wireless headset for the pool or just listening to on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I lost the 1st one, & I immediately went out and bought another one!

    When I first got them they work great after 3 or 4 times the battery begin to have problems of not staying charged. I also had problems with the right side cutting in and out after about the third or fourth time due to water problems it not staying totally waterproof.

    Great mp3 for swimming!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love this mp3, I used the old version of it and it was great, but this one I think is better, now it comes ready with the right covers for swimming, as well as having the battery charging dock and the cable separate, that makes it better as well. If you love to be focus while working out there is no better thing that listening to the music you love while swimming, for me this is one of my favorite electronic devices and I planned to enjoy it a lot! Just be careful, read the instructions if you want your mp3 to have a long life and if you think that it could fail get a protection plan, but again be careful, cause it is not the same if the device fails or if you make it fail.

    modest but nice upgrade

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I came to these replacing NWZ-W273 that I lost. These guys have a more streamlined shape and feel and some nice UI improvements. The buttons also offer a much more positive feel, an actual click instead of "I hope I pressed it". The voice feedback is nice too. Slightly stiffer neckband means the little rubber doohickey is no longer needed, although they include one in the package. There is a new feature that pipes outside sound thru the phones so they can be sealed but you can still hear. This works nice while walking around but was useless to me on the run - I had the normal weird thumping you get running with sealed headphones, PLUS wind noise - worst of both worlds. I just ended up pulling one headphone partway out like I used to. This might be more useful for others. Overall a nice choice until somebody comes out with a bluetooth streaming running watch that's useful for audiobooks/podcasts.

    These work very well. I like the fact they are completely sealed. The product headline/ page does not really highlight these can be used while swimming which is the major benefit for these headphones.

    Mediocre

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this so I can listen to music as I swim and it worked great for about 5 times then one day I start hearing some fizzing kinda sound when I went underwater. These are great earbuds if you just wanna workout and not wanna worry about having to carry your phone around, but if your a swimmer looking for a good pair of waterproof mp3 earbuds look for a different product cause this isn't durable enough for swimming.

    I purchased these in December of 2015, when I took them out of the box, they seemed fine, after two weeks the sound on the left earbud started to get fade-y, then the left ear bud popped out, I managed to stick it back in and it stuck for a while, but the sound was still fading a lot. Finally, they broke, the left side stopped working and I couldn't put it back in, wasted my money on a product that came faulty.

    Purchased and set up on 10/13/2018, died on 7/19/2019. Just stopped working. Used it three times a week for 30-45 minutes at a time. I don't even swim submerged most of the time. I tread water with my head above water at least 75% of my workouts. I suppose for 99.00 you should not expect much.
