Waterproof Music!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OK, Sony does it again. This is a great music device. I have used it now several times in the gulf. It says for fresh water only, but I rinse it off after use. I feel like it will last several summers. It is well made., Comfortable. Most importantly it sounds great. Real “in your head” stereo mix like only headphones can do. Since you can’t swap out the head phones Sony was smart enough to put some in that sound great. I use MP3 files (312) and wav files. It works perfect with Windows Media Player. I use shuffle sync, works flawless. It is also a perfect unit for yard work, walking, bed, etc because NO WIRES. I tried a Blue tooth head set once, and wires are wires, they get in the way. Plus the blue tooth walkman had “line of site” issues (don’t turn your head!) Battery life so far no issues. It is in the ear, so if you need to hear any outside sounds you will need to turn it down, Noise canceling for sure. Best Buy had this thing at my door 4 days after I ordered it.

Overall great sound for use underwater
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is decent considering these are waterproof headphones. The battery life is amazing! I have been able to use it for an hour everyday for a week without recharging. It works with iTunes but only with newer purchases that are not protected with DRM. When you use them underwater they especially sound amazing!

Great waterproof MP 3 player.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the product and it works wonderfully in the pool. The buttons are a bit small and you have to fuss with them a bit. It is easier to make the adjustments before you put them on but perhaps with a little practice I will get better at it. Sound quality is great once to you find the right size ear pieces, Sony gives you a pretty good selection to choose from. You get better sound quality if you put the headset on dry instead of in the pool. One great feature is that it charges quickly.

Nice product, use it a lot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great, it's compact and doesn't have the wiring which makes it perfect for running or doing any sport. Purchased the blue one love the color. One of the cons is that buttons are too small, and also if you want to change the music is not so easy because, of course, the buttons are in your ears and you can't see them. Overall it's a great product and I use it a lot.

Hoping Waterproof mean Waterproof
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned the previous 2 models of the Walkman and each of them died on me. In comtemplating buying yet another, I found that this version of the headset MP3 player is now "waterproof" where the other models were only "water resistant". I believe that the sweat from running is what ended up ruining the other 2 models that I had. So, I've given this a try and so far, so good. It's very conveinient and holds a charge for quite a while. It's nice to not have to connect via headphone wires or anything like that. The sound is great and it's easy to load music onto.

Great for Sports
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being a triathlete, I was looking for a comfortable and light way to listen to music during my long workouts. What I love about this is that it's water proof and cordless - making it great during swimming workouts and relatively unnoticed during running and cycling on my trainer (no cords means no fuss with tangling or pulling). Plus, it's so nice to be able to switch through songs on the fly (who wants to run to a slow, romantic song...) This MP3 player also has a pretty decent battery life, and is quite simple to put songs on - coming from someone who can't figure out much more than drag and click. My only gripe is the sound quality. While it gets the job done and is enjoyable, the sound quality could be a bit better.

Great for swimming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been looking for waterproof MP3 player/headphones for awhile. These were recommended by a trainer at my gym. I have used them primarily for swimming, averaging 3 hours a week for the past two months, without a problem. Sound quality and volume are descent. I like the quick recharge feature. A few minutes of charging and your good for an hour long swim. They are comfortable and fit securely.

Q: QuestionAre the headphones really waterproof?My headphones worked only 3 times. After that I haven't been able to charge them.
Asked by Ivan Bustillo.
- A:Answer I have had 2 pair to wear for working out and they are great while they work. The first one lasted about 3 months and then started having trouble with playing controls. I bought a second pair and they lasted about 3 weeks and started messing up also. I did not wear them to swim but just in the steam sauna and whirlpool not submerged. Exposed to some water but not under it. Great sound and operation if they would just last. Was thinking of one more try but have already spent over $200.00 on this product so I think I am done......
