Waterproof Apple iPod Shuffle with True Short Cord Headphones - Highest Rated Waterproof MP3 Player on Amazon

UPDATE 2018I've now had my Audioflood for over FOUR years and have had zero problems with it. I have very small ear canals and have a hard time finding ear buds that will stay in my ears. After some initial false starts 4 years ago, the Audioflood people helped me find waterproof earbuds that fit. However, recently, I lost one of the ear bud tips. When I contacted Audioflood about buying a replacement of these tips these amazing folks actually SENT me at no charge, several of these tips. You don't get customer service better than this. If you are considering a waterproof sound system for your lap swimming, look no further. Treat yourself to an Audioflood and BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!UPDATE 2016Two years after my purchase, I was having a small technical difficulty but true to form, the folks at Audioflood helped me solve the problem! They are a great company and this product continues to be a terrific product which adds a whole new dimension to my swim workouts. I am lost without it. Don't hesitate any longer, just go ahead and buy it! (See all my reviews below).UPDATE: More than one year later.When I read a review of a product on Amazon, I always want to know, how long the person has had the product and do they still love it. So, I'm here to say that over a year later, I think this product is still THE BEST!I love my Audioflood and am always answering questions about it and recommending it when someone new sees me at the pool using it. The sound quality, the ease, and the Customer Service are terrific. I will say again (see my original review below), if you have any problems with your device or earbuds, contact Customer Service before giving up or writing a negative review. There are solutions which Customer Service at Audioflood can offer that will help you feel like I do that this is one of the BEST purchases for the money that I have made.INITIAL review:I bought this 6 months ago but wanted to wait until I had used it for a while before writing a review. I read all the reviews on this and other waterproof MP3 players before I bought this product. I previously had purchased a different waterprrof MP3 product which was less money but as they say, "you get what you pay for". It didn't work well with my mac for downloading music and eventually I just had to find a replacement product. I splurged on this one and it is the best! The best product and the best customer service!I read about the problems folks had with the earbuds and I'm here to say that if you are having problems with the earbuds, contact Audioflood customer service. They are amazingly helpful and offer great tips. I have very small ear canals and though the shuffle worked great, I couldn't get the earbuds to fit quite right, stay put, etc. With the help of the Audioflood people, I stopped have any problems with the earbuds and am only sorry I didn't contact them from the get go. I am so enjoying the amazing sound quality and ease with which this player provides music for my swim workouts that I would encourage anyone looking at this product to just go ahead, buy it. It is worth every penny. And don't bother with the extra cost of warranty insurance. The product already comes with a two year warranty in the basic price.

I am so disappointed with this product. I have been using several cheaper waterproof mp3 players over the past couple years, but was sick of them quickly degrading over the course of months. I decided the solution was to spend much more money on a potted ipod shuffle, thinking this would be the one to last. Out of the box, all the buttons responded OK, but the buttons on the left side of the scroll circle were unable to be depressed despite triggering. It was worrisome, but I thought maybe these are standard artifacts of the potting process.Over the course of 4 months, I took such great care of this thing. I kept it dry and cleaned it when not in use, was always careful to never dive with it or use it for anything other than lap swimming. But the buttons started to become less responsive. Finally, one week I noticed there was drops of water leaking out when I pressed the buttons. And then, some of the buttons were stuck, not depressed, just volume up constantly triggered. I couldn't turn it on without it shutting off immediately. Every use was a new permutation of the problem and, despite sometimes offering glimpses of it working OK (without the ability to do anything other then turn it off on, hoping it would stay on) I knew it was broken.The worst part: I had purchased the 3rd party warranty through squaretrade. I missed half a day off work trying to submit a claim and they refused to identify the product or accept the claim (you can only list the manufacturer as apple, no AudioFlood company is a part of their database). Despite having all the serial info, the receipt, everything, I could not successfully file a claim.My experience with this product, and the inability to use the warranty I purchased, was beyond disappointing. They failed me in the core concept-- successfully potting an ipod shuffle and then offered me no ability to do anything about that. This was 4x more money than cheaper swim mp3 players that had been more durable (and which I could easily use the warranty which was mine to use). I am so upset with investing in this product and I can't tell you how many days in the pool were ruined by trying to get this expensive solution working
