I made a review of this and the iRiver 799T 1gb MP3 player on the iRiver product page, giving the combination 5 stars.

I had been looking for a way to combine my enjoyment of pool aerobics and tunes ever since the new generation of small, portable audio flash-style players came into existence. It seemed like a natural to me. To my shock, every store I went into said no one made players that could be mixed with water.

I was thrilled when an Amazon investigation FINALLY revealed that H2O Audio understood my plight and combined with the iRiver 799T, my exercise program could become more fun and invigorating. (Pity the poor neighbors who might overhear as I sing-along.)

The case comes with everything you could need for storing, listening and carrying, and it's sturdy. During out-of-pool times you can swap the waterproof earphones with ordinary headphones, leaving the player in the case, if you choose.

Used with the IFP780 this product works as promised. It works for swimming laps in a pool at least. I have not tried it at a beach. I found the arm band to be kind of cumbersome but it still works if you put the device on a neck strap and hang it around your neck while swimming. I will say also that the volume has to be turned quite high on the mp3 player for the sound to come in good in the water. No problem but don't forget to turn the volume down again for land use or it will blast your ears out.

Now for some background. I bought what was supposed to be an underwater fm player long ago from Service Merchandise. That thing never worked at all but this proves that technology has come a long way. I guess I never thought about buying an underwater walkman like tape player way back then but now that technology is all mp3/wma H20Audio seems to have designed a good product to keep swimmers in a stream of music.

I received this with the 1gb player and after having read mixed reviews I was a little skeptical about it working. I recently took it down to my local pool and was amazed at how well it worked. Now I did lose hearing about 5% of the time in my right ear (the side I breath out of) but it was never more than 10 seconds at a time and a simple shake of the head (while swimming) allowed it to come back.

The case worked beautifully holding the water out. The headphones can adjust to almost every axis and stayed on my head the entire time. Most importantly, I didn't feel inconvenienced swimming laps with it on.

As far as people saying they lost sound completely or it became so soft they couldnt hear , I believe I figured out why. I don't think it is the water because when water did get behind the headphones I almost had to stop and turn the volume down on the player (after all sound does travel through water better than air.) I found that the "funnel" that inserts into your ear can easily collapse and prevent sound from coming out. It seems very long to me and if I pushed it in too far (even being out of water) I lost sound. By simply adjusting it (for me having it higher at a downward angle) almost completely prevented any sound loss. With proper placement and adjustment you shouldn't have any problem using this product. They included an armband to use with the neoprene sleeve but I used the belt clip and clipped the unit on the back of my suit. Email me if you have any questions.

Also check the manufacturers website because they have a packaged deal that is much cheaper than Amazon (I basically got my waterproof case for free)
