Dolphin MP3 Player for Swimmers

By: Grahm Skee on July 10, 2007 4:46 PM

If the goggles didn’t make you look ridiculous enough, you can strap on this MP3 player to the side of your head. The small canister-shaped waterproof MP3 player is designed specifically for swimmers. Dubbed, the Dolphin, the player comes in 1GB and 2GB sizes. The press release states the 2GB version to be selling for 19,800 Yen or around $160 USD starting in July. The Dolphin comes with a few different water tight earplugs and various lengths of cable to be used along with the armband, for the less ridiculous look.

I wouldn’t expect this to come to the stats so you will have to look to your favorite Japanese importer to get a hold of one. You could swim to Japan and get one yourself but you would only have tunes for the voyage back.

The only issue is what type of battery it uses. Most of the water mp3 players I've looked at are AA or AAA batteries

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
