Review on ๐ŸŠ Enhance Your Swim Experience: Introducing Swimbuds MP3 Wearable Audio Player - iTunes Compatible (Apple Music Excluded) by Mark Gardner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

In search of the perfect MP3 underwater. This isn't one of them.

After I received this MP3 from the positive reviews, I emailed it to the mailbox, loaded it and downloaded the songs I wanted. First, it's the weirdest charger I've ever seen, but it seems to work while charging. The overall design looks cool, but getting them on your head safely is a challenge. I first tried them in the shower. Worked surprisingly well. The volume doesn't get super loud, but it's loud enough that you can't hear anyone nearby except for the shower water on your head. The controls in your ears are so hard to use. Sometimes I have to take off the whole earbuds to get a better feel for them, as well as get the right grand piano and volume settings. As I took him to the pool, I started playing "moving in stereo" near the cars, rocking my trunks and body. When I jumped in the water and started swimming. I was consumed by the music. It sounded great! Then the problems started. The music started stuttering, skipping tracks and even cutting out while swimming. I thought, well, maybe I should ask for more. So I waited and charged it fully and then went back to the pool. The same problems. I don't know, maybe they weren't close enough? I mean, out of the water they work fine and normal, but as soon as I go underwater they start jumping. Because of the price I decided to give it a try, but for ease of use and convenience they get a big fat zero. They flap around as you swim, even when attached to your goggles. The bass in some songs is really nice and not overwhelming, but only when it works properly. I might get a dud, not sure, but back out of the water, it works fine. I would recommend them if you only want to use them out of the water, but in the water I would be a bit more careful.

Pros
  • Stable workmanship
Cons
  • Long delivery time
