Outstanding MP3 player for swimming
I have used customized water-proof iPod Shuffles in the past so I'm going to compare this with iPod Shuffle.
PROs:
- 8 GB storage (as opposed to 2 GB on iPod Shuffle).
- Half of the price of the cheapest water-proof iPod Shuffle.
- Much louder volume.
- Long battery life.
- Superior ear buds. They came with a short cable which makes it tangle-free (can be extend if needed).
- Good clip. Very easy to attach to my goggles and can be rotated.
- No iTunes needed. To upload just drag and drop the MP3 files.
CONs:
- No AAC support so it can't play old music files I bought from iTunes. Nowadays I buy my digital music either from Amazon or Google so most of my
library are MP3 but still it would be nice if it has AAC support.
- It comes with a pretty bad goggles. I wish they have a cheaper option without the goggles.
