SwiMP3.1G
The SwiMP3.1G is a waterproof mp3 player created with a unique innovative sound transfer technology that offers exceptional underwater sound clarity. The completely redesigned waterproof MP3 player utilizes bone-conduction technology to transmit high-fidelity sound underneath the water. Standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water which causes the swimmer to perceive only muffled noise. Because the SwiMP3 uses bone conduction, the sound vibrations are able to be directly transferred from the cheek bone to the inner ear, giving the swimmer the ultimate sensory experience. With the release of the SwiMP3, all swimming enthusiasts can now listen to their favorite, crystal-clear music while engaged in training workouts or recreational activities.
MP3 players have become extremely popular in the last few years. However, until now the pleasure of enjoying high quality mp3 files during exercise has been confined to land sports. With the release of this new advanced aquatic entertainment device, swimmers can now enjoy the pleasure of bringing portable music to their workouts as well. The SwiMP3 player allows all athletes, whether it be swimmers, tri-athletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers, or really anyone involved in water activities, to hear the same quality of music while they're in the water that they're accustomed to while running, biking, or at the gym. Bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity. FINIS' application of the technology brings an entirely new and revolutionary experience to the aquatic realm.
SwiMp3.1G has a memory capacity of up to 240 songs (1GB) with a convenient drag and drop songs & playlists function through your computer USB port, it attaches easily to any swimmer goggles or snorkeling mask.

Comments about Finis Finis SwiMP3 Waterproof 1GB MP3 Player:
I bought one for my mom's birthday and then one for myself. It is by far the best underwater music player we have ever used. The sound is not disrupted by the water. The only three downsides are (1) the instructions are not very good, so it is unclear how to create playlists, etc., (2) there is no battery-level indicator, so it is unclear when the battery is low, and (3) the power light it does have is not bright, so you might leave it on on accident.
