Finis SwiMP3
Utilizes innovative bone-conduction audio technology ; sounds fine underwater ; allows swimmers to break up the splashy monotony with tunes ; comes with its own goggles but can be used with other brands
Expensive ; placement of controls on the back of the head makes it difficult to operate ; excessively loud if not placed directly against cheekbones ; can cause nausea ; doesn't include wall charger

Works underwater. Attaches to swim goggles for stable fit. Tunes are easy to load.
Overpriced for 256MB of storage. Supports only MP3 and WMA audio files.

Manufacturer's Description
The SwiMP3v2 underwater MP3 player is an incredible audio experience. Imagine listening to hours of your own music during your swim workout. The SwiMP3's innovative sound transfer technology offers exception underwater sound quality. Standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water causing the swimmer to perceive only muffled noise. The SwiMP3 uses bone conduction - the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear - to provide the swimmer...
