The Dolphin Touch MP3 player is the one unit that came with the most stuff. Multiple headphones and earbud sets, as well as the charger, a carrying case, some software and plastic clips to secure it to your goggles.
Like the other units, this one charges and transfers music via a USB plug that goes into the headphone jack. Once connected to your computer, it presents itself as a USB mass storage device, so you can just drag and drop items onto it quickly and easily.

These and the H2O Audio Surge earbuds were the only earbuds out of all the headphone MP3 players that I tried, that actually stayed put and in place in my ear. This was desirable, as it allowed me to listen to music, as opposed to water.
The unit I bought comes with waterproof headphones made by H2OAudio, though as is the case for most of these music players, you can somewhat mix and match headphone types (sometimes the connectors are different).
The unit includes a bit of a unique headphone system compared to the rest, which includes headphones that wrap around the back of your ears, and then the earplugs insert in as normal. The unit charges and transfers like the rest with a small charging cable that plugs into the headphone jack:
In units that came with pain in the butt headphones where I was able to swap them out for a different pair from a different vendor (or different earbuds), it changed everything. However, beyond that was at times just the mere fact of having headphones at all.
The best one for the money is the JLAB Go Waterproof/Sweatproof/Sports MP3 Player ($43). The only issue is the ear phones and the way they seal, which can allow water into your ear and reduce the sound.
I have the Finis swiMP3, however was difficult to upload music and not all my iTunes music will play. Sometimes I forgot to charge it or bring it to the pool. So got the previous H2O Audio model ( aka 3, works with a old shuffle very tiny). Much easier to upload/play. I just need to carry one music player to gym/swim. On the downside the H2O case is a little bulkier.
Is the sound on the Finis / jawbone model good enough to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, or is it just for music? Mostly-hearing a song you already know requires less fidelity than understanding spoken words.
Ray: As usual, a very informative review. My real concern with an MP3 player is whether music will interfere with my concentration. I am a mediocre swimmer trying to improve, and am concerned that music will interfere with my stroke thoughts (e.g., high elbow, high elbow, high elbow or long extension, long extension, long extension). I think that I will wait until I am a bit better to invest in elf ears. Cheers. Richard
why are you people so dumb. this is a review on ipx8 mp3 players. and a very good one considering it is 2015 and the scene hasnt changed much. if you need problems with your bitch ass mind, this is not the place.
Response to this post by JAAP: I have the swimp3 1G. A few months ago I tries to remove the cap of the USB connection. This was very tight and after release, it flew through my car (wanted to charge it oon my way to the pool).
Hello Rainmaker!
Regarding
WaterFi internally waterproofed iPod Shuffle, have you ever had some issues with the waterproofnes using it during swims also without any headphones plugged in? I was thinking wheather to purchase the Waterproofed Ipod Nano from Waterfi and using it during my swimming sessions also without having any headphones plugged in.
Read some reviews on Amazon having issues with the waterproofing, maybe it might be a problem in a longer time frame span?
Drag, when swimming hard sets I come out of my wall flip turns pretty hard and I frequently feel my ears flap from the drag. It is hard to believe that any of these head mounted players would not also flap and pull my goggle straps down. Did you have any issues with this?
There seems to be a fair amount of confirmation that use of swim caps is necessary to hold things in place but I am bald and to resort to a cap takes away my primary advantage to this genetic predicament.
I have tried quite a few different expensive versions of speedo and TYR goggles trying to find one I like as much as my sweedish goggles. But I just keep coming back to that loose strap, poor anti-fog and touchy bridge setup because they just do a better job of keeping the water out(without crushing my head). I am suspicious that the looser straps of these goggles would not adequately support the addition of an mp3 player. Can anyone confirm or refute that?
And it is both obnoxiously loud to others at the wall while also suprisingly quiet in the water. The user manual says that for best result you should wear earplugs while using it. #%$@! if I wanted to wear earplugs I would have purchased a player with earbuds.
They call it bone resonant I interpret that as blasting a speaker in a small rigid housing until it starts to vibrate its not technology its just a bad design that has found a niche market. It actually is louder right over your ears than on the bone in front of them.
Great post. I currently have the SwimP3, but it is not working these days. I have owned it for about 3 years. Last year (I only swim in the summer), the sound started to sound very tinnie (no bass). When I started swimming again this year, the unit gave out completely. I am trying to decide what to do.
Sadly, my ears are defective as no ear bud stays in for more than 30 seconds, even while remaining completely motionless. Do the rocket buds actually use all suction to stay in? I am hoping they may work for me, or, I will have to go back to the SwimP3, which was not bad as it was easy to use. Thanks again for the post.
Great post. I am a long time 5x per week swimmer and these solutions have really helped me get through long workouts. I have also found that they help in open water races to keep the insides of my ears dry/ warm.
Sorry to be a killjoy but using these things could be the same as putting your cell phone in a waterproof bag, strapping it to your head and laying in the bathtub to fry your brain for an hour. Not saying I know this to be true. Just wondering if any testing has been done ?
thanks for bringing such issue up. i have some thing with electrostatic fields and i think my body would somehow affect the workings of the DIVER unit i was using. songs would loop. raising volume was almost impossible. i would not be surprised if many of the negative feed back would in part due to this issue.
I have used quite a few because of kids and trainers in teh same house do not mix at 8-9pm or 4-5am. I will cut to the chase, after many different types of motorolas, jaybirds, phillips, panasonic, and plantronics (notice a trend? All bluetooth) I have settled on the jaybird X. The problem I have is that they keep getting stolen or lost.
Great reviews Ray ! Its useful to see some different waterproof mp3 players compared. Personally the swimp3 has been my favorite waterproof mp3 player for swimming since using it in 2005 for swim training. I liked it so much I set up a website and started retailing them in 2006 as Swimmer Ltd. Over the past 7 years I have sold a couple of thousand units with a fault return rate of about 10% to 15% but good product replacement support from Finis Europe. The main advantage of the swimp3 and why I like them so much is simply its ease of use (you do not have to fiddle with ear plugs) just clip to your swim goggles and off you go !
Thanks so much for your extensive review. I recently decided to add music to my work outs. I will be shopping with your recommendations today. Its wonderful to have people like you in our world who give back to society by writing a review like this. You undoubtably saved me a lot of grief and money with your research. Thanks and bless you; Kathryn
I had local electronics repair guy remove bone phones from my dead Neptune(same probs everybody has-evidence of water penitration was found) and connect a regular jack for use with Ipod Shuffle (pretty sure he waterproofed jack insides with glue or silicon). Works great. Cost me $10 to have this done.
Bought the SwiMP3 player and the battery stopped holding a charge after several months of use. Finis had a replacement program and the new replacement did the same. Nothing but frustration trying to get it to hold a charge. Now I just suck it up and swim with no music. I do miss the player, but not the frustration that came with it.
Hi Ray,
Thank you for this exhaustive review. But after using and eventually toasting 2 units so far, one question still stays unanswered. How do you replace the batteries that give up after a few charges. That has happened to me twice.
Great work..
Regards,
Sayed
Hi. I need to purchase a new mp3 for swimming but I like to listen to audiobooks and wanted to know which was easiest for downloading. Comes down to audioflood and waterfi, I think. Any feedback on which is better and if there is maybe a cheaper option that also works well for books? Thanks
I have had three Speedo Aquabeats. The first one ran for years before it dies. The second 2GB one is still going but is a bit ropey now. I bought the latest 4Gb version last year and it only lasted 16 months, disappointingly. A pity as otherwise its a great player
The fact that the headphones are only water resistant means that there is no need for fully waterproof speakers [which always produce worse sound] and the music quality is far better than any other waterproof mp3/headphones. It is compromised a little when in the silicone case, but the earplugs improve things again. In a comparison with the swimp3, the main difference was the audio quality was much better [especially the bass] as was the volume.
I leave the buds attached to my goggles, and they are very clear. Their design helps them stay in place, but I also find inserting them into a dry ear canal minimises the likelihood of them falling out.
I have been using swimp3 products for about as long as the company has been in existence. I used the clunky originals that came attached to a silly looking pair of goggles (1gig of space) to the 3g to the new Neptune. Unfortunately, my experience with the Neptune has been less than mediocre. 152ee80cbc
