Interesting. I swim laps a lot, and would love to be able to listen to music of audio books. Anyone know of any waterproof earphones that would work with this?

I echo YuleLoggers statement. Wouldn’t want to do laps with a mini, but a shuffle is definately an option, and the price is pretty good too. Just need some half decent waterproof headphones…

I found these, haven’t ordered them or anything, but they seem reasonable.

I’m also looking for some high quality waterproof headphones. According to otterbox.com, the waterproof headphones offered at http://www.swimman.net are pretty good, however, they cost $99.95 + s/h and require a $10 adapter. I’ve done quite a bit of research and haven’t been able to find anything worthwhile. Does anyone happen to know if the “h20audio headphones” are compatible with the otterbox for iShuffle? I guess it doesn’t really matter because you can’t purchase the “h20 headphones” without purchasing the “h20 case.” Any suggestions?

I have a pair of Sony MDR-EX81SL and an old armband from my Marware Sportsuit convertible that I’m gonna try in the pool as soon as I get the Otterbox case. The Sony’s go inside your ear and have a short cord perfect for an armband. I read in another post somebody using Ety’s in the pool.

The Challenger M earphones are high quality isolation earphones that are our pick for anyone who wants to wear earphones with a helmet or during physical exercise. You can even swim with these phones!

Thanks Ed. The Challenger M earphones look pretty nice, but I don’t believe that they are truly waterproof. I will continue to research the market and let everyone know what I come across. Other suggestions/ideas are still much appreciated!
