H2O Audio has launched its new iDive 300 “Deep Dive” Waterproof Housing and Over Ear Speakers for iPod. Built from polycarbonate, the iDive uses a locking cam knob to provide a robust, secure seal, which is waterproof down to 300 feet. Other features include an integrated microprocessor for push-button control of touch screen and Click Wheel iPods, a built-in amplifier that runs on three AA batteries and provides high quality stereo sound, acoustically engineered over ear speakers that can be attached to a mask strap or tucked under a diving hood, and a lanyard loop for easy attachment.

This an another example of manufacturers not fully exploiting their “high priced” products. When I first saw the article yesterday, the $350 price tag for what looked like a waterproof case, was quickly passed over.
Going to H2O audio’s website there was little description of the functionality of this product.
C’Mon H2O if your are going to throw a $350 price tag on an item you need to tell me what I am getting for the money and show me how it works. It’s not like I can pop down to Best Buy and check the item out.
