Review on Black Tayogo Waterproof MP3 Player with Bone Conduction Swimming Headphones - 8GB by Ricardo Tlaxcalteca

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Budget Bone Conduction Player

I have been swimming laps 5 days a week for the last 30 years. I find that music makes time in the water much more enjoyable. It was difficult to find a player who works well in the water. In the beginning I had to strap a CD player in a waterproof case with headphones to my back. I went from there to an Apple iPod MP3 player with headphones. Apple is still working, but I've tried different models of headphones and none of them were comfortable and they all distorted the music. Then there was "bone ladder". Eureka! I've used Finis brand bone conductor MP3 players for years, but they all eventually stopped playing due to their connections to corrosive pool water. I think they are too expensive not to last at least a few years. I switched to the Tayogo brand over a year ago and have been very happy with the sound (please wear the provided earplugs in the water, it makes a lot of noise). difference) and comfortable fit. I should note that I am currently wearing my 5th pair. The 1st pair only made noise on one side, the 2nd pair didn't charge as per the instructions, the 3rd pair worked fine for a year, the 4th pair had volume control issues and the 5th pair seemed fine to work (but only got it yesterday so fingers crossed). BUT most importantly, their customer service is outstanding. Every time I had an issue and emailed them, they responded within 24 hours. (By contrast, I tried Happy Island's Beker brand Bone Guide Player and had trouble putting it on for the first time. Their support team never responded to my query.) These Tayogo headphones were a pleasure to have in Carrying water and it's nice to know help is available and happy to help. Thanks very much! (and "yell" at Sam at Customer Service for his help). hp I would recommend drying the player connector with a compressed air spray before charging.
