Any other waterproof headphones, compatible with Diver MP3 player??? I've only used this device once swimming, and the earphones sounded ok, but the buds along with the ear straps kept slipping off! Over a 1 hr swimming session I must've had to fix it every other lap to secure it. I eventually put on a swim cap half way through my swim, and that kept the ear straps in, but it was very cumbersome against the side of my head. I bought another waterproof headphone in the same order from amazon after reading all the bad reviews about these headphones, but to my surprise they were too large for the jack slot. Does anyone know if any other waterproof earphones if available for purchase that is compatible with this player. If it's more cumbersome to swim with it that without, than it's pretty much no good to me. Any other waterproof headphones, compatible with Diver MP3 player???

The only ones I have found that work with this product are the ones available through their website. None of the other headphones have the screw in plug unfortunately.

If it has a standard 3.5mm jack, you could try the swimbuds headphones. They have a lot of advantages: they stay on, they have a really short cord so when you are wearing your player on you goggles, you don't have lot of cord floating around, they have a full warranty. check them out. SwimBuds 100% waterproof headphones (short cord length, white)

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke.If you find that out let me know. TksClaudia

Christine, not sure if you already bought this or not, but just a heads up. I ordered the 6 pc combo pack they advertise with this, and the MP3 player does not fit in it! I had to go back and order a Geebee armband, and it is rather bulky. It is also hard to get on, and put the headphones into the slot. Once it is on, it is not easy to access the controls. To make a long story short...good question by you! I am planning on using it for running too, and I may have to buy some shorts with pockets to carry the darn thing! It is a good device, but I don't know exactly how I am going to carry it either!

I use the headphones I already had. They are not waterproof, but they work great and I have never had any trouble. I don't take anything in the water, I only run with it. I have run in the rain without issues. I believe that any brand of headphones will work.

I've read other reviews claiming that the strap broke for them as well. (It seemed the strap was made of very nice, soft rubber, so it's a shame!) I would suggest contacting the seller/producer.I returned my pair of Ispeed goggles, since they leaked and visibility under water was blurred. I replaced them with a Speedo Air Seal XR, which seems much better aligned to my narrow face. The best fit I've got so far, however, is from a Speedo Vanquisher 2.0.

Yes, there are other waterproof headphones that you can get. I bought the pyle and there was too much static. Maybe spending a little more money on them will help with unit.

I don't believe they were available when I purchased mine from underwater audio, but I also read reviews on their website and others. Underwater Audio has gone above and beyond when it comes to customer service esp. when I had issues figuring out what kind of headphones to use and how to get them to stay on. They replaced them immediately when I had problems. Also I've had mine almost a year or maybe more, and it's still going strong. I absolutely LOVE this product and would buy another one if this one ever craps out. Again, AWESOME customer service!

I don't know about rain-proof or water-proof, but I believe they are fairly sweat proof. I don't think you could swim with them on, but I haven't had any problems working out with them on, and I have in the past with a different pair of headphones. At the tip of the speaker, which is the farthest inserted into the ear, is a little white plastic 'cap' (shaped like an inverted cap) that after awhile can get clogged with earwax, but you can pop the cap out and clean it with a pin (it has little holes in it) and pop it back in. I've done this several times, and haven't lost either cap yet.

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.

I used them 2-3 days per week for lap swimming until they stopped working this week. I echo Craig's answer about making weird turns. Sometimes I also flood my ears when I exhale hard and the air bubbles put just enough odd pressure on one of the buds. I still like having them even with their quirks, until of course they died. they never went two meters deep, so I will try sending them in for warranty repair, but I'm not hopeful.

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.

No issues. I push the clips well on the band so as to give the upper part leverage/purchase. I have them just forward of the ear holes. I bought better goggles. The side pieces caused my speedo goggles to leak. The net said Aquasphere Kayenne are best and they are in fact good. No leaks minimum pressure. You need earplugs. I use EAR express pods. These are sound PPE infact (factories, building sites etc), but just happen to work very well and comfortably as water plugs. They are about $1 each reusable/washable.

Hmm. That's odd... the old version kind of "floated" behind the neck. I was worried that they would bump into my neck, or that they'd fall down, but they floated very well, and worked like a dream unless I was running on real ground. Maybe you could try a different position? But, if I'm hearing you right, there is no loss of reception (sound cutting in and out) when you're running outdoors and constantly moving? --if so, where did you position your music player?)

I use the swimbuds because I do water aerobics and don't need anything that is really sturdy. If you are a serious swimmer, you might want to use the hydroharmony waterproof headphones.

It could be for a few reasons why the tips included have not worked out well for you when working out, firstly check the different variety of tips included and make sure to give the Comply foam tips included a good try, as they are form fitting foam they will conform to the shape of your ear canal and in theory give a tighter seal. Comply also sell other size foam tips which might also help. Secondly check how your cable and audio player are positioned during your work out, generally using a arm strap will help to put your player and earphones in a position to cause less pulling force on the earbuds when in your ear. Hope these suggestions help.

To be honest, I would not recommend this product for activities that are strenuous because they do not stay in the ear canals as advertised. It depends on if you wear a beanie or helmet when you're on the slopes. You really have to "try on" ear phones because everyone's ear canal is shaped differently. I would recommend that you get earphones that fit inside the ear canal, but has a hook that loops around the ear. The MEElectronics Sport-Fi M6 Noise-Isolating In-Ear Headphones with Memory Wire (Black) is pretty good to try out. They are in expensive and really fit inside the ear canal.

I would say no. The remote stopped working for me after a few weeks from sweat getting into it. I have yet to find a true waterproof headphone! Monster won't even take a look at them if you don't have a receipt. Their customer service sucks!
