The Finis SwiMP3 player ia an underwater swimMP3 player with 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 Swim MP3 player uses bone conduction - the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear - to provide the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity. The Swim MP3 is fully waterproof and can be used with all the competitive swim strokes.

The SwiMP3 is revolutionary in that it relies on bone conduction of sound. When the device is placed on any bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones or the mastoid tip) it leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. Thus swimmers can enjoy clarity of sound with the SwiMP3 device that was never before possible. Bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity. Finis’s application of the technology brings an entirely new level of experience to swimmers, either while working out or taking a leisurely swim.

Nearly three years later Finis has come up with an update to that original water portable. The SwiMP3 V2 works the same as V1, but streamlines things a bit by incorporating the player’s electronics within the cheekphones themselves. Finis has bumped up the memory, but oddly only to 256MB from the original’s 128MB. To be honest, we thought 256MB was light back in 2004 when we reviewed the first model. With flash memory prices significantly down since then it is a little surprising the memory was only boosted to one quarter of a gig.
