SwiMP3 Underwater MP3 Music Player

That is right! You heard it correct, a new set of headphones enables music lovers to enjoy their music while in the Waters. Amazingly, we never ever imagined to think about such a thing!

Using Bone Conduction Technology, to send vibrations through the skull bones directly to the inner ear rather than through the ear canal, people are able to do it!

The sound completely bypasses the normal hearing route through the outer and middle ear, and researchers have verified the safety of the direct "hearing through your bones" route.

When the vibrations reach your inner ear, "you hear them clear as a bell," according to an online seller, Think Geek. "Feel the music, don't just hear it. The high-frequency driver rumbles and buzzes on your ear, further immersing you in a musical experience."

Even though the headphondes are on the outside of the ear, supposedly the vibrations required for the wearer to hear the music are small enough that people nearby wouldn´t necessarily hear the music, too - at least, no more so than with normal headphones.

Now, that you know what the technology is, see what the technology can offer you!

FINIS, a company, started developing the most technological and advanced training equipment for the swimming industry and has come up with 'The SwiMP3 Underwater MP3 Player' using Bone Conduction Technology!


The only intention for developing such unbelievable thing is to offer swimmers an option to enjoy music intead of hearing to the sounds of water. No exception that The SwiMP3's incredible sound transfer technology provides awesome underwater sound quality. Since SwiMP3 uses Bone Conduction Technology, there is no way sound can escape reaching your ears!


This enables direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear providing the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity without any other external sound or noise. You can see a user review at the video here.



The SwiMP3 Player is absolutely compatible with any PC and Macs with 128 MB and 256 MB range memory with rechargable batterys. For more information and to purchase it, visit FINIS website. For similar cool products from FINIS, see SurfP3 and swim with your favorite music!
