My son continues to use the Sony NWZ-W273BLK while swimming but he still has the same problems with it. After about 20 laps, the left side stops working. Once it has dried out (after about 24 hours) it starts working again. Very frustrating, especially if your aim is to swim more than 20 length at a time. He also tried wearing a swimming cap, but it was the same. I have no alternative suggestions I'm afraid. Grin and bear it or don't bother seem to be the two options with this model.

I have been using the Sony waterproof mp3 player in the pool now for about 3 months and LOVE IT!!!!! The sound quality is great, easy to add music and recharge and the I've only recharged once in the past 3 months. I had looked at the Apple waterproof shuffle, but the price is just too high and you also have to buy waterproof buds separately. Also, the Sony holds more music. A big plus in my book.

These earbuds will stay in place as long as you learn how to put then in place. In my experience they shouldn't be inserted so far into the ear but in the place you feel your ears sealed and noise almost cancelled. If you do this the mp3 will work perfect! Though takes time to achieve it....

They do not stay in place while running. However, if I was going to sit still they are perfect.

I've gone through quite a few of these wireless mp3 player headphones, and the only truly waterproof are the "JLab Go" or "Pyle" mp3 players. Search Amazon the Pyles are only $40 but be careful they are fragile.

You need to find the perfect fit of buds to avoid getting water in your ears. I use the medium ones and I have no problem with water in my ears

I wouldn't recommend this version for activities where there is the potential for them to have a lot of sweat around. Bose makes a sport version that have better resistance to sweat. They do stay in the ear very well

Any will work, however they may not give you complete waterproof. I use Sony mj10 because I like it louder. I dont swim, just run in rain at times.

In my humble opinion, they have the best sound I have experienced so far with a waterresistant bluetooth headset. And they are first ones, which are reliable. All my other headsets did not last longer than 2 months. They could not handle sweat, water and rough conditions although they claimed to be sport or outdoor headsets.That's why I am so happy with this one.

Scott, Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

@Kevin, that's awful! Did you try to get it fixed by Sony? I have a Jabra clipper which is supposed to be very waterproof. I haven't tested it much, but it's not a perfect device. Only 3 buttons (which is annoying), and cuts out sometimes (depending on where phone is placed). But in all is ok, not great. The other option was this Sony device, but if it's not waterproof it's not even an option.Thanks for the feedback!

Yes so far these have been great. Its nice because the electrical part is further from the ear than normal ear buds. I sweat plenty during my workouts and where them in foggy damp areas. Plus they have a lifetime guaruntee if I remember correctly so just replace them if something happens.

I can't speak to whether or not they're water or sweat resistant, but they're the most secure ear buds i've ever owned. Shouldn't fall out if you put them in right.

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

I buy the cheap ear buds from a Fred Meyers ,here in Oregon,its like 7.00 dollars works great. For Christmas daughter bought and Bose ear bud I still prefer the cheaper one . I hope this help you.

I ended up returning these. They never could stay in my ears or on my head. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I purchased the Motorola S10 Bluetooth and those have worked great. When I run/sweat I've had no problems to date.

I can't compare it to the R6i because I have no reference to that model, but I can tell you that I don't like using S4i while working out because they do slip out and won't stay in my ears. The water resistants I have no idea. I've never gotten mine wet. The sound to my opinion is great.

Excellent sound! If you use the 'swimming' buds, the outside world is so effectively silenced. All/most of what you hear, is the comparable, as in (finicky about fidelity) to Sony units (I've had 4) lack the ability to do yard work (lots of perspiring) and not fail!!! You would, IMHO, not be disappointed, not to mention how much $ you'd save.

No waterproof headphones are included in this listing. Our new Swimbuds Sport headphones are the best headphones in the market for lap swimming and running in the rain. Since every person's ear is different, Swimbuds Sport has 4 different styles of earbuds to find the best fit to seal out water. Original Swimbuds also work great for lap swimming and create a watertight seal in your ear to keep out water even when submersed, but only have one style of earbud. HydroHarmony headphones are good for water sports like surfing or water aerobics, but do not create a watertight seal in your ear. Scott

I just bought a Sansa clip plus & have already tried two different types of earbuds. I am looking for something thats comfotrable & protable. So these headphones will work & enhance the sound I'm looking for on my mp3? Thank you for your time.

The earbuds are fantastic! The player works fairly good as well, the software is very simple. That being said when putting music on it out all individual music files into one or no folder on player. The player works great for about two hours of swimming before the jack gets water in it and you lose sound out of one ear BUT let it dry overnight unplugged and its is fine and ready to go for the next swim.
