I spend more time emptying water from my ears so i can hear the audio than I do swimming. How do i stop the infiltration of water?

Yes that is generally a little bit of a problem, but it helps if you get the right size rubber buds. By headphones came with 4 or 5 different sizes (and one ear may be bigger than the other). Pick the right size and you should have less of a problem. Hope this helps.

i have not experienced this problem. i use the latex attachments that came with the headphones provided and do not have any water in my ears.

Have you tried changing the ear cushions to see if one set works better than the other two?

I haven't had a problem with the water seeping in. I use the earphones that came with it and just make sure they are in tight. Maybe you need to use a bigger size on the end. Push them in until you feel them more or less seal your ear.

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 too have that problem. I hope someone can help. Even at MAX volume, it's not earblowingly deafening and my viewing area is tops, 15x15.

I don't believe this would serve you as well as earplugs, for the most part they do keep water out, they are water-proof, but not completely watertight!

Water does get in your ears slightly, but overall I have really loved the device. I purchased additional earbuds when I bought this device, but have not felt the need to try them yet, so apparently the small amt of water that does get in is not to a point to bug me. Hope this is helpful.

My solution when cutting the lawn was to just use ear bud headphones and put these on over them. It kept the seal well enough to protect my ears and I could hear my tunes just fine. The audio wasn't loud enough when I used a headphone cable plugged into the headphones once I started up the mower.

I love my waterproof ipod and use it a lot. So spoiled that I don't want to swim without music. Recently I have been swimming in a salt water pool and the last two times I used it I had problems. It quit playing and then came back in five minutes later. Right away I thought the salt was causing the problem. But honestly not sure what happened so ultimately not sure how to respond to your question.

no - go check out x-1 waterproof headphones - much cheaper and waterproof ( I swim a lot with them)

Try open and closing the water door you may have to do a few times. when new or you youse a lot of water at once.

I use a broadcast spreader, such as Dustmizer. Wear a breathing mask while doing this also.

The waterproofing is a process completed by underwater audio. It works great.

The filter prevents ear wax from reaching the inner workings of the earpieces. They WILL get clogged eventually and muffle the sound. I just change them when the sound starts to degrade.

You cannot use your own because the earbuds are a part of the closed system that prevents water from getting in. The earbud cords are not really long enough to attach to something further than the area right around your head. But they are meant to attach to the goggles, not the swim cap.

I've had this issue and I don't swim or shower in mine. I had to stop using it.

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.

You would have to put in ear plugs into your ears to probably listen to an audiobook...as there is quite a bit of "water" noise around your ears.........worth a try I guess.

Always check the reception based on where you intend on swimming. I have at least 1 NPR station that comes in clearly in my locality. I enjoy swimming with mine but have to keep the earbud wires tucked under my goggles strap because the friction from my shoulder rotation on the wire occasionally tugs the earbuds out. I definately enjoy the motivational boost of swimming with my MP3 playlist.

Buy some shower caps and put them on when speakers are not in use. Take down in the winter to save them from excessive elements.
