In spite of some failed reviews I'm thinking of trying this mp3 player for my swim workouts. Will the unit fit inside my swim cap without issues? Thanks

There would be a gap but I think it would still be comfortable and function okay

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

My kid can bring it into swimming pool to play (he let the cap opened and most of the gun submerged in water so that he can have continuous water stream in / and shoot out) with no problem. We have it since last summer and it still works fine now. Hope it help.

You can use normal headphones in it if you want to go running with it. It doesnt have any screwing motion, you just shove the jack in, its a kind of tight fit, but I figure its that way to keep the water tight seal.

It will be much bigger than your ipod, but it should still work. There is a headphone jack in the pouch that you insert into your device before you seal the pouch. There is a second jack outside the pouch, by the arm band where you insert the headphones. Make sire you use the headphones that come with this pouch and not your usual ear buds or headphones. To make sure I knew how to seal it, I tested the ouch before using it in the pool, by putting in something about the same size as my ipod and wrapping it in paper towels. I submerged it for an hour and made sure the towels where still dry when I took it out. It will be much bigger than your ipod, but it should still work.

Yes, it's the standard headphone jack size, and will fit any audio player. I've used it in an iPhone, iPod nano, and a Samsung Galaxy with equal quality. They've also worked well for both exercise as well as sitting around. I've also used them on my Game Boy 3DS, for you gamers out there. :)

Go to the everymac.com site and search for your model to see what the dimensions are. Different capacity iPods have different thicknesses so it would be better if you checked the details for your specific player.

Yes I'm a regular swimmer. I swim 3 days a week for 1 hour each, mostly freestyle and a bit of breaststroke style. I've been using Sony mp3 for almost 4 months now and i never had a problem. The key to a successful experience is to use an earbud size that fits tightly in your ear so that no water gets inside. It's basically as if you were using earplugs. To achieve that tight fit means typically using 1 or 2 sizes larger than what you would normally use, for example if you typically a medium like me, you may use a large size or even an XL as i do.

Don't know if it will hold it that way. Maybe you could sew a small tight pocket onto the armband and carry it in there.Cannot guarantee you won't lose the MP3 player. You could also check on a different type of arm band for it, maybe there is one for MP3's without clips. It would be nice if those clips were replaceable.

I place a swim cap over the ear phones and it works well. I also have the earphones that have one cord and are more sturdy and that seems to help too.. Every once in a while I have some frustration with it but overall I love it!! I swim laps and it sure helps to pass the time away quickly. Hard to believe something so small can hold so many songs and be waterproof.

It does appear to be too small but it does fit. You need to kinda screw it on in a left/right motion. It will fit. I like the tips. However they do wear down quickly and will rip after a couple of months. I store them in my workout bag and it rips. I've gone through a few of them already. I guess you need to carefully store the ear buds. Hope this helps...

My experience is that it will play adequately. I use it all the time. But I do believe the Fuse is not charging at the same time, and it will run down. MY Fuse does not 'dock' properly into the little shelf, but I was told I could plug my mp3 into speaker with a very short cord that I think came with it. Can't remember, but I bring the cord underneath and the player lays on its side in that little front tray. Works ok.

I haven't had any issues, but I'm running regular headphones. I think the hole in the casing is big enough for any size headphone jack. I hope this helps. Thanks

Sounds like Sam W J found yet another problem with this MP3 player. Both of mine failed and the USB was not disconnected. Also there was no way to tell if there was a 0 byte file on the player because the computer couldn't see the player.In the meantime I'm using my Creative Zen Nano Plus -- transfering old cassette tapes, Recording FM radio programs, as well as using it for all the features of the Sansa. It's menu is quite different but all in all it's a better player.

it comes with headphone. but if you have waterproof head phones i would think they would work i also use regular ear buds to listen to the music music not underwater i love this product I have used the mp3 player since February. I swim alot. remember when loading the music it needs to be in all MP# format not WAV4 format Later

It would hold on to your head but it would be a little too heavy to carry it while running. Try the Sony walkman series. would be helpful while swimming as well. Though the sound quality of walkman is nowhere close to WP380. WP380 is way to good.

PJC, My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification. I make this assumption based on my overall displeasure with the charging unit. In short.....it doesn't work. I plug my Sansa Disk into a USB port on my computer and in an hour or so, I'm at 100% recharge power. I have actually monitored the charge on my Sansa Disk using the outlet plug-in charger. I would allow the MP3 player to recharge for an hour and to my dismay, the MP3 actually lost a significent percentage of its charge while plugged into the wall outlet. Frankly, the plug-in charger is worthless, in my opinion. I'm not surprised that the quality control on the size of the USB connector is dismal. Sincerely, cmp

Yes. I put this player in an armband when I go running. (I think most armbands would have more than enough space to accommodate this player.)
