Yes, it's a bit basic, but IT WORKS UNDER WATER!
I was really worried about buying this after reading all the reviews, but I'm a fat, middle-aged arthritic woman who needs every possible incentive to do some exercise. When my husband told me these things existed, I figured that it was my one chance to make joining the gym an almost tolerable prospect. So after buying more swimsuits, goggles, hats and towels than anyone can ever need, there was nowhere else to go but here. And I'm so glad I did. It's a 'Does what it says on the tin' product. Th...

Useless!!
I was so excited that after over 20 years of swim training that I might finally be able to listen to music whilst I do my laps that I had to get one of these!!I am beyond disappointed with this!! If you are a very gentle swimmer then I am sure it is fine, but I swim quite fast and this obviously causes drag as you push through the water. I swam up and down trying to fit the earphone correctly so they simply didn't fall off!! No ammount of moving adjusting or pushing into my ears helped; any s...

What a little Gem! Strongly Recommended
I've used my Aquabeat a few times now and can honestly say it's worth every penny! It attaches nicely to your goggles and apart from the music you hear when listening you do not know you are wearing it! (The ear phones take a bit of getting used to, but halfway through my 1st swim I didn't even notice them any more either)My only minor niggles with this little contraption is that you cannot shuffle the songs, but as it holds 500 MP3's this really isn't an issue and the play list is very e...

Works a treat, much better than Finis Swimp3
I received a Finis Swimp3 for my birthday in August, and struggled for 3 months trying to get it to work. It was technically easy to use, but basically I couldn't hear it very well while swimming. I am a computer specialist by profession and had no trouble increasing the volume of my mp3s to pump up the volume a bit, but could not get the unit functioning at a comfortable volume. Basically, the amazing bone conduction technology didn't work. A couple of friends at the pool (I swim more or less a...

An excellent item to make swimming more fun
It is an excellent device, it does a fantastic job of providing music underwater. The sound quality is very good, and apart from the gurgle of water that you would hear anyway, you get the same sound you would were you not swimming.You have to be a bit careful with it, make sure the ear buds are on properly and you put them in when you are dry. My first session I managed to get water inside the ear buds, this stopped the ear from working for the whole session, left to dry the problem stopped ...

Useless
I was excited to recieve this product after borrowing a friends and found it great to listen to music while swimming.Unfortunatley they have changed the design of the ear piece and they are now completely useless. They stay in your ear for about 10 metres so you are constantly stopping to stick them back in. I did persist for a few sessions, trying different sizes ( 3 are included) but they all fall out. I have contacted the supplier to ask if they have any of the old style plugs. The mos...

Not as pictured!!
Please do not make the same mistake I made when choosing this product. I did all my research, reading all the reviews and studying all of the pictures both on Amazon and on the Speedo site and came to the conclusion that this product, and in particular the earphone design (which look like they will stay in your ears while swimming), was the one to choose. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to find that they have completely redesigned the earphones; they now resemble any standard h...
