So far so good
By Herr Frog on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014
Had it for a little over a month now and it's doing great. I swim a mile 3-4 days a week and I've been using it every time. So with me it's submerged for an hour or longer 3-4 days a week, and still holding up. I swim in a 25 yard pool, and break up my swim into 500 yd. segments, with flip turns at each end. It took me a good few swims to choose which earbud ends were right for me (the biggest christmas tree shaped ones in my case) and now I'm having fewer and fewer of those instances where you feel the water get in your ear and the sound goes out on one side until you stop and readjust things. Even doing flip turns or swimming 50 yds. underwater, it is performing as it should, though sometimes the seal on the earbuds still fails and I have to take one or another out and readjust. But that is happening with less frequency as I've been getting acclimatized to it.And mine came with earbuds that have a small coil in the cables so most of the cable doesn't really get in the way. I clip this onto the back of my goggles, put the earbuds in and go. If it holds up even a year I'll be glad to buy another.I only use it to play music and have never even tried any other feature, nor do I intend to. So I cannot review any other feature. And I want to make one little warning: mine gets waterlogged and holds water long after I get out of the pool. I guess it's designed to have an inner, waterproof layer and an outer, protective shell, the one that you see, and water gets between those two layers and doesn't come out without some shaking and mashing of the buttons. So I have to shake it out before disconnecting the earbuds. Heaven forbid you should forget to get the water out of it and lay it on top of your laptop's keypad or something while charging it. Caution.And that said, it does what it says, at a reasonable price, the earbuds are great for the price, and I'm pleased so far. I probably swam more in the past month than most people do in a couple of years and it's worked OK for me so far.EDIT: a couple or three more months and it's still going strong. Still pleased with it.

Broke after 6 months
By Louise Lousettis on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2014
This unit was a total rip-off. It lasted 6 months, I charged it and it just would not come on. Secondly, it claimed to have a function to mix the music but did not. The instructions were nearly impossible to read, some weird translation. You could also not hear the song when swimming (good for pool therapy for 6 months) and when swimming the unit fell off my bathing suit. Also, it was very difficult to switch to other albums, I just ended up listening to all my music as I burned it onto the device. Please do not chance it with this unit.
