4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says with only minor negatives, September 7, 2005

The most important thing is that it works. You can listen to and use your iPod underwater without worrying. I've been using it for about 4 months swimming laps for up to 90 minutes at a time and haven't had a problem with water/moisture getting inside. It took a few laps to get used to having it on my arm but now I hardly notice it's there.

After a while, the headphones irritate my ear and don't completely keep water out (of your ears-which causes the volume to change as you go in and out of the water. I know it's simple science but it's noticable and a minor irritation)

The scroll wheel doesnt work perfectly, you have to spin the wheel more than with the iPod itself but again, it's not a big deal.

Overall, I love it. I can listen to music underwater and that great positive far outweighs the small inconveniences.

I also highly recommend buying either the armband or belt to hold it. I tried it without and then purchased one right away.

After searching for a product to aid in my swimming workouts, was very disappointed in the H20 audio sv-mini. While the unit did keep its word in keeping my ipod mini dry, the sound quality was horrible and the volume barely detectable. Don't bother.

I absolutely love the waterproof housing. It is great for power walking and jogging in the pool at the health club. Really makes the time fly!! No more watching the clock. Easy to use with no leakage. Headphones are a little uncomfortable but this is slight when you think of the advantages of having music while you work-out in the water. Definately reccomend to any water enthusiast.
