There are many underwater MP3 players available in the market but the SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player is a unique one. Stylish, sleek and using the most advance technology in the portable music gadgets world, this mp3 has rapidly gained the attention of many swimmers whether they are professionals or amateurs. Before we get onto what exactly is the SwiMP3 underwater player, it is better to clarify why most swimmers can't get the utmost music experience while swimming. The reason is pretty simple that most of the MP3 underwater players transfer music signals through wires or air and when you use it underwater the music gets mixed up with the water waves sound. This is the reason most of us hear a distorted sound which eventually makes us refrain from our music players.
Well as said earlier most of the players use air signals but this one use a bone conduction method to deliver sound. Now most of you are already wondering what exactly a 'bone conduction system' is. Bone conduction is a system basically which allows the sound signals to move through the person's bone without getting interrupted and providing the user a better music experience. So when the SwiMP3 is on your ears, the sound signals go all the way from your cheek bone to your ear drums. In this way the sound is not distorted or interrupted in any way.
This MP3 was recently announced during the end of 2009. It was basically an upgrade to the previous model which didn't do quite well in the markets because of the memory and format playing restrictions it came with. However, the newer version comes with a 1 GB built in memory which can be increased as well but for most of us 1 GB is quite enough to have our music collection on the go. Also this modified version can play MP3 and WMA files which is an advantage as you won't need to use a file converter every time you are willing to use your SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player.
The SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player is a good gadget especially if you want something stylish and sleek. Unlike most of the traditional MP3 players, it can attach to your snorkels or goggles easily and has the control panel buttons such as off, on, play, pause, stop, next, previous, etc on the left ear speaker. Till now it's coming in blue color with a rechargeable battery. You can easily store up 250 songs and if the files are smaller than maybe more and run them for 8 hours maximum. The battery life is quite good! Once charged fully it can spend up to 8 hours without being charged again.
The advantage you get with this MP3 player compared to the others is that the technology it is using is far more reliable than the one's most of the other underwater swimming MP3 have. Transferring the files to the player is also easy as it can be attached to any regular USB port.
