   I just received this unit and used it for the first time yesterday. Therefore, I cannot speak to its durability. However, at first use, I love it. Sound is terrific. Controls easy to use. But most importantly, for me, is the ease with which the earpieces are positioned and the stability of how they stay in place.

   OMG I found it! I have looking for a MP3 player for swimming for years. Let me tell you I have been through them all. I tried all styles of headphones, swimming caps, all different configurations. Nothing worked!! If you are looking for good under water sound, no worries of loosing sound because of water filling you ear, or the headphones coming off after kicking off Stop Now!! And buy these!! They are Great!!!!! They stay put, sound Great, never loose sound, easy to down load music.

   After swimming laps for 40 years, I decided to treat myself to some entertainment and looked into all kinds of MP3 players for swimming. I liked the fact that these attach to your goggles. They stay right where they should. It is very easy to put the music on them. Just drag and drop.

   I swim a lot and have been using underwater MP3 players fro probably over 10 years now. All others before this had actual ear buds but I like this design so much better! Great battery life and sound quality and easy and comfortable to attach to goggles and swim. Only complaint is you can't rewind of fast forward thru a song because the skip to next or previous song buttons double as the volume buttons. Probably not an issue for anyone other than fellow synchro/artistic swimmers like myself.

   I read a few of the previous reviews discussing the importance to use a paperclip to keep the phones properly positioned in the charger unit, however, mine came with embedded magnets that really sealed the connection tight and no need for additional pressure. Perhaps this was an upgrade that took care of this problem, not sure. See the little silver magnet disk on the charger in the picture I posted. That is attracted to something inside the earphone unit and keeps the metal prongs and four metal earphone charging contacts nice and tight.

   That being said, I LOVE this product. I was a bit skeptical that the sound would actually come through while swimming, but it's awesome. It takes a minute to get the product correctly placed on your head and in your goggles, but once you do, you are literally in your own underwater musical universe! I wear ear plugs with it as suggested for better sound.

   I have owned these for over a year and now feel qualified to give this product 5 stars. I swim laps 5 days a week . Love the bone conduction technology. While they recommend using it with swim earplugs for best sound quality, I am not a fan of any kind of earplugs and don't use them and underwater sound is good. It clips to my googles, stays in place through flip turns, and is easy to pause/forward/reverse by touch while swimming. I keep it clipped to my goggles all the time and just rinse everything with clear water and dry when I get out of the pool (same with all my gear) and have had no problems with charging or mineral deposits. Love the drag and drop for adding music. (Not a fan of iTunes either.) Fits best on regular goggle straps.. I charge it once/week. Make sure the green light isn't blinking when you shut it down' green light mean it's on pause and will drain the battery. Well worth the price.

   Swimming laps to music is wonderful. The sound is clear. Has doubled my swimming time as I lose myself in the music. It's easy to download the music onto this player. Two things to know that's not in the enclosed instructions: 1. You are to charge the battery 24 hours before your first use. 2. Before putting on the player, turn it on until you see the green light. Then wait 10 seconds for the music to turn on. Initially I would turn it on over and over and over as I never heard anything. I finally called Finis, and was told there was a lag time of 10 seconds before the music would play. I suggested this be included in their directions. Now that I know how to operate this player, it's fantastic.

   Ive tried numerous types of waterproof headphones and either the sound quality was awful, the volume was too low or earphones would constantly pop out of my ears when swimming. I was about to give up however the owner of our local swim shop highly recommended . So far I am pleasantly surprised. The "headphones" fit on your goggle strap and are placed over your temple bones so you never have to worry about any ear buds popping out while you swim. The sound quality isn't Bose noise canceling quality but for underwater listening it is far superior to anything else I've tried. The volume is excellent under water and I can also get pretty decent volume when my heads out of water resting between sets. All the controls are simple and easy to manage. I am fairly computer illiterate but converting unprotected songs to MP3 format. I have ~40 songs on it and still have a lot of memory left. I do wash them with clean water after each swim and dry them off immediately. I also clean the small charging plates on the phones as instructed about once a week.

   Absolutely stunned by the sound quality once got in the water. you can wear them out of water and they produce a good sound. In the water it was so loud and clear had to lower the volume by half. The docking port works well for loading music and some types of audio books / podcasts. It also charges the unit reasonably quickly. the controls on the unit are fairly straight forward once one reads the instructions. They can be used while swimming with one hand. About my only complaint is that their is no way (I have discovered, anyway) to jump from one music album to another. This requires a bit of planning if one is hoping to hear a specific set of music or audiobook. I did enjoy the randomizer as it kept the music varied which helped relive the boredom of long distance pool swimming.
