Intova H2O Man Waterproof MP3 Player with Headphones

I couldn't get the headphones to fit snugly. The triple-flange earplugs couldn't go deep enough to create a meaningful seal most of the time. In the few cases where they did, the firm armature flexed while I swam and pulled them out. So I'd head a few seconds of a podcast, then water would get into my ears and I wouldn't be able to hear anything.

About the water getting into my ears: I got an ear infection afterwards. Fantastic. I normally swim with waterproof earplugs exactly to prevent that sort of thing.

Charging the device requires you to twist off the earphone connector and twist in a charging module that charges through Mini-usb. Putting music on the device requires you to, again, twist off any attachment, remove a Micro-SD card and get your MP3s on that somehow. Included in the package is a Micro-SD to USB adapter. Not very friendly.

Perhaps if your head is shaped differently from mine they'd work for you. But probably not...Read more

Cheap construction... after a couple months the internal contacts started getting rust and that meant lost of sound.... really bothering when you're jogging or swimming...

Also, is quite unconfortable as you cannot change the lenght of the device, which can either make it too short or too large for most of the people...

a complete waste of money...

This player worked very poorly for me. The fit was good and I liked not needing a chord to run from the player... it tucks nicely behind the head. I could never get the sound level to rise much above that of the splashing water. After about 3 weeks something went wrong with the electronics and it would no longer play or hold a charge. I greatly appreciated Amazon's commitment to allow return of products as I no longer had the original packaging but was still refunded. I purchased an additional larger memory card but the one provided held the equivalent of 8 CD's. My recommendation is to pass on this one.
