I was able to get a good fit with the ear pieces. As long as you can keep the headphone ear interface water tight, the sound is excellent. Even a drop of water will knock the sound out. I found that I could not do flip turn as a result (dislodged the ear pieces). As long as I did not do the flip turns, I could listen to beautiful music for my 30 min work outs.
Now for the bad. After one week of use, the buttons on the outside of the device stopped working and I could not change the volume or pause the player. Now I need to return for a new one. It is so good, I am hopeful this one will work. I would definately buy again, but the fact that it broke after a week worries me.

I have been using this system for about a month. I swim about three times a week, so I’ve used this product about 12 times in the pool, and I’m still trying to make it work properly. I have had issues with the earphones popping out and also with the fact that ambient noise from just swimming freestyle interferes with good sound. These problems are manageable, and would be ok, especially on a product I really want to like. However, I’ve also had problems with one earphone being about 3x louder than the other, as well as one earhphone emitting an annoying crackle when playing music. I contacted H20 Audio about the balance problem, who just suggested that I send it back to be fixed. After fooling around with the seal, it appeared that when the earphones are inserted, if there is too much or too little pressure in the ear canal, the earphone can’t “fire” correctly, and the sound is muffled. After more or less resolving that problem, the crackle issue cropped up. I fixed that by sticking a bobby pin into the earphone hole and pushing gently on the membrane (I have no idea why this solved the problem). At this point, the most frustrating thing would be to have to spend lots of time and effort on sending the product back to H20 Audio – perhaps it is too much to ask that a $90 product just works out of the box. I think that H20 Audio has done well at promoting the product with high-profile names like Phelps and Coughlin. Now they should focus their attention on making a higher quality product.

Had to return the first one as the volume up/down buttons worked only intermittently. H2O folks promptly sent out a new one and they were great to deal with. With both units, I wrestled with keeping the ear pieces in place. I’ve switched out different size ear buds that H2O supplies, but still can’t get the darned things to stay in place, even when I put my cap over top of the unit and try all different kinds of tricks to keep them in place. Maybe I’ll duct tape them! Anyway, sound quality is just a bit tinny and when you are swimming freestyle, the music often gets drowned out. It is great for kick sets when your head is out of the water or just at the surface line. The deeper you go, the harder it is to hear the music. For example, when I swim breaststroke, it is good as I go into my pull (and my head breaks the surface of the water), and not as good as I kick out of the stroke.
I’ll keep playing with this for awhile and hoping to make it work. The iPod Shuffle 4th generation was worth it all anyway!

I bought this so that I could listen to more than the sounds of my bubbles as I swam and also as a way to keep water out of my ears. I was a little surprised at the size. It is probably a little bigger than it needs to be for such a small ipod. But once it is attached to my goggles and I am on my way, I don’t even notice it so I guess the size doesn’t matter. The first time I used it, I put in the earbuds after my ears had gotten wet. They would get loose in my ear and the sound would disappear then they would fall out. After about three laps, I finally got them to stay in. They recommend that you put them in while your ears are dry. I tried that the next day and they worked great! They suctioned into my ears and there they stayed. The sound was good and the water stayed out of my ears. Excellent. Although they recommend that you keep your swim cap pulled over the ear buds, I found that my swim cap would ride up, grab the ear buds on the way and yank them out. It might take a little bit of fiddling to get the right sized ear bud for your ear and to find a way it works the best for you, but if you are tired of just watching a black line and listening to your bubbles while you swim, this is worth the cost.

I saw an ad for this product and requested that my son to get it for me for Christmas when he asked what I wanted. It was the best present I received! I love this product! I do triathlon training year round, and lap swimming in the winter gets boring. This product makes the time fly by. The sound is great and the case is so lightweight, I don’t even know that it is hooked onto my goggles. The controls are easy to use. I can’t wait to try it for long lake swims this summer.
