Having sent back two x 1Gb 'waterproof' mp3 players (of another make) to Amazon last yr for being seriously rubbish in the 'playing music around water' department... I just didn't expect this 4GB (for the same kind of price) to be as amazing as it is.
It's just come back from Center Parcs Subtropical Swimming Paradise and has been tested in every kind of watery environment a swimmer is likely to encounter, inc. Eight different spa experiences in Aqua Sauna, hot pools, cold showers & white water rapids.
It's performance has been flawless throughout.
Crisp, clean music stored in an easy to use mp3 player, which clips secuely to my swimming costume shoulder strap.
I am beyond happy with my waterproof mp3 player and unreservedly recommend this brand name and product to you.

I don't normally write reviews but i am so impressed with this product. I use it everytime i go swimming and have been amazed at how clear the sound quality is: its exactly the same whether you are under or above the water and is just as good as my ipod. I have found that i swim for longer as i dont get bored so easily and i lose track of time whilst listening to my music.
It attaches easily to my swimming goggles and when i go into the gym i just detach the earphones from the mp3 player and plug them into the gym equipment to watch TV.
On the negative side it took me a while to work out how to change the earphone (there are three different sizes provided) but once i worked it out it was great as my boyfriend and i can both use it in water without any risk of it leaking.
I cannot recommend this product enough to anyone who wants to have music in the pool or at the beach.
They work! February 4, 2010

Well just got back from the gym where I tried them in the swimming pool. First off, I didn't have a pair of goggles, so bought some Speedos with the strap which splits at the back but the top part of the strap is thicker. Quite a few of the recent Speedos have this strap & it's the thicker park which fits the Exeze perfectly infact so well I'll probably leave it on permanently.
To the performance itself, well they work! simple as that, tried them in the pool, normal swimming then completely underwater which was really cool, in the sauna, steam room, yeah I'm happy, from the drag & drop interface on the computer, the ease of use when fitted to the sound quality itself. I'm really fussy with my Gadgets, it's no good them looking good if they aren't practical & these are, bottom line, they work, really well. Highly Recommended.

Now I swim and there is music in my brain!
Thats about it really. Other than music recommendations which to swim to - any album with Chillout in the title, and a very old file I found on my PC called 'The Dark Side of the 80's'.
It is a little fiddly to get set up. The ear mouldings have to fit perfectly, and you have to put your hat over the top (if you are a hat wearer, which is highly recommended for this as it keeps everything stuck down) and clip the device onto the back of your googles.
It is also especially handy if you go to a swanky gym, and in the cafe a daytime swim means being surrounded by braying stakeholder wives - as the earpieces are totally sound eliminating, so you can play it as a normal MP3 without having to jack up the volume. It is very easy to both use and set up on the PC. There is no software installed so it is simply a case of dragging and dropping the files from the PC onto the device that shows up in File Manager as an external drive. As the meerkat would say...Simples.
The best gadget I have bought for swimming. In fact, the only gadget I have bought for swimming. Other than a pair of goggles - what else is there to buy??
5 stars and highly recommended.
Does exactly what is says on the tin. February 2, 2010

Just re-started swimming after many years off and found this product after much searching - just wanted something to relieve the tedium of it. The fact I could not find any other links to it (Exeze seems to be an import company) was somewhat disconcerting but I took the plunge anyway (excuse the pun) and have been very pleased with the results. I don't think there is any "magic bullet" for interfacing music and swimming (bar building your own pool and hooking up some massive stereo system!) but this does all that you would expect.
First time was a bit of a disaster (needed to choose larger ear inners) but after changing these, things improved a lot. NOTE - my headphone have a plastic loop on them (not shown in the picture) that you loop around your ear and first time I used them found they flapped around a lot - worked out next time that you can tuck them under your goggles and this holds them in place.
Just attach to computer and drag and drop music into the unit (it appears as a drive) - it seems to order music in the order that you put the songs on - I suppose if you wanted to change this you would have to drag off and re-load but that does not bother me (is not as if I am using it as my main mp3 player). You either play with flashing red light (tracks in order) or flashing blue light (random play). Job done - don't count lengths now, just number of songs!!
