Swimming can be great exercise and also music to your ears with the SwiMP3 Waterproof MP3 Music Player. The player and speakers are built into dual headphones, which clip onto any swim goggle or snorkeling mask. The device uses bone conduction technology, transmitting sound via the user’s facial bones, which leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. The system — increasingly popular in hearing aids — can enhance clarity and be more comfortable for the wearer than the standard process of transmission through the ear canal. Up to 60 songs, in either MP3 or WMA format, can be downloaded to the player from a PC or Mac using the attached USB connector, which also recharges the built-in battery. Buttons control volume as well as on/off, next/previous and shuffle functions. SwiMP3 (130013), $149.99, , 888-333-4647.
