 Fantastic gadget October 3, 2008

I bought this with some trepidation as it was hard to find a review from someone who had actually bought and tried out this great sounding product. However, rest easy, as it does exactly what it promises. I went swimming with it on today and enjoyed listening to my favourite podcast as I ploughed up and down the pool doing my laps. It made training far less boring than it can be and also motivated me to actually go to the pool in the first place. My only problem is I must now learn how to laugh at the same time as swimming as I like to listen to comedy. You can also swap the waterproof earphones for your own regular ones in order to use it outside of the pool, and it pops in my pocket easily when I want to go for a run. It is easy to put your mp3 files onto the aquabeat as you can just drag and drop from your itunes library into the aquabeat window that opens on your PC when you connect it via the supplied USB cable. I haven't been disappointed, it's a great bit of kit.
What a little Gem! Strongly Recommended January 16, 2009

I've used my Aquabeat a few times now and can honestly say it's worth every penny! It attaches nicely to your goggles and apart from the music you hear when listening you do not know you are wearing it! (The ear phones take a bit of getting used to, but halfway through my 1st swim I didn't even notice them any more either)
My only minor niggles with this little contraption is that you cannot shuffle the songs, but as it holds 500 MP3's this really isn't an issue and the play list is very easy to alter on your computer. There is also no battery indicator so it's hard to know if the battery will run out half way through a swim and it will only play mp3's. They have included a leaflet telling you how to convert other music files into MP3 so again; although a pain it is nothing that impairs the player itself. (Some feedback for version 2 maybe).
All in all I would strongly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a waterproof MP3 player to use in the pool as it "does exactly what it says on the tin"!!

Found out about this little gadget after seeing it worn by another swimmer, a few clicks on google and there it was. I was a little hesitant about buying it after reading the inconsistent reviews on Amazon. Especially the scathing one, from the guy that sent it back disgustedly due to the headphones falling out all the time. Well I ordered it, and tried it out the second it arrived. Being somewhat retarded when it comes to computers, I was dissapointed that I simply couldn't drag music from iTunes and drop it into desktop icon of aquabeat. However a non-retard looked at it and simply converted tracks I wanted to export into Mp3 version (Advanced then create Mp3 version - as easy as that)the files just flew over. To be honest when I first used it I almost drowned. I found it a bizzare experience, I felt a bit disoriented, found it wierd I couldn't hear myself breathing and wasn't impressed by the sound quality, especially underwater (Dhur) Anyhow I gave it another go the following day, I made sure that the headphones were properly in the old ears and set off. I had a whale of a time (though not sized like a whale an expression you'll understand, I'm quite lithe actually) the sound quality was great the experience was fantastic, I think I swam double the lengths that I do usually, I had to make myself get out of the pool, after an hour and a half, when I did I got straight back in as a track I love came back on. Buy this thing and give it a chance. I am not entirely sure how the headphones fell out of the other guys ears, they seem to fit in there perfectly, and they have that earframe for extra security. BUY IT!
Makes swimming fun again! March 7, 2009

Training for another triathlon I wanted something to make the time spent in the pool pass more pleasantly. Normally I want to get out after 20 minutes, having lost count of the number of lengths I have done. I did my research and thought this might help and it has it is perfect. The sound quality is great. The headphones, mine are the ribbed sort, fit in perfectly. I love it - the only thing I need still to work on is getting the playlist perfect. Oh - and it made a 45min swim feel short!! Worth every penny. An update - the headphones stopped working and I contacted Speedo who sent a new pair free of charge - now that is what I call service!!!
Brilliant! April 30, 2009

This product is really good, Its simple to set up and transferring files is a doddle. The sound quality is surprisingly excellent. The only downside is the earphones - I bought this item as I swim about 3 miles a week and anybody who swims knows that can be quite boring. As soon as I pick up any kind of speed or 'push off' the ear phones just come off and are quite fiddly. They don't stay in no matter what I do. This has been easily resolved though by wearing a swimming hat as it covers my ears thus keeping the ear phones in place. Otherwise excellent product and definately worth buying!
