Listing stuff so that I can research better. Usually I do this on excel or any spreadsheet btw.
Swimming MP3 players:
Sadly not many reviews of MP3 players coming from China and not many good reviews about swimming MP3 players as a whole. Its more of a hit and miss as customer experience is either good/meh or just plain bad.
On dx.com
T-07 Swimming Waterproof Rechargeable MP3 Player - Black + White (8GB)
USD 29.30 = MYR97.4
free shipping
FS-1 Waterproof USB Rechargeable Swimming MP3 Player w/ FM - Silver + White (8GB)
T-04 Swimming Diving Waterproof MP3 Player w/ FM + Earphone - Black + Orange (8GB)
USD 26.50 = MYR88.
Free shipping
No idea whats the difference between these two.
T-08 0.9" OLED Swimming Diving Waterproof MP3 Player w/ FM Radio + Earphone - Black (8GB)
USD31.81 = MYR105.7
Free shipping
Has OLED. Looks like hard to clip to goggles?
On qoo10:
4GB Swimming Diving Water IP*8 Waterproof MP3 Player FM Radio Earphone
MYR85.30.
Shipping MYR16.50
4GB and less RM3 compared to the ones on dx.com, so pass.
Btw again, reviews on amazon japan were very parabolically skewed.
XSories Aqua Note 2GB Waterproof Sports MP3 Player Headphones
MYR372.6. Very high end.
Shipping MYR13.4 from Corea.
Looks cool. Very expensive and no reviews.
WATERPROOF MP3 : For Profesional Swimmer =BLUEMU
MYR233.40
Shipping 18.90
Cool, but no reviews and no seller review as well.
And lastly, from Sony Wings:
4GB W Series MP3 Walkman (Blue)
MYR299
Shipping n/a
Can get this one immediately. High end pricing. Customer reviews are also hit and miss. Although, its coming from a known brand. Kalau ada return policy bagus jugak, but I don't think Sony Malaysia does that.
So there you have it.
I'd put in some other mp3 players, but most of them are only available in the US, and I don't want to pay the shipping fees for those. Especially like the Neptune which uses your jawbones to vibrate music through your skull. USD139, man.
Currently its around USD106, plus shipping is USD4 + USD7 (around 2 pounds?)
So equals to MYR388.79. Yikes.
I learned a lot from this review shootout. These are serious swimmers with serious music needs.
The Best Waterproof MP3 Player | The Wirecutter
The most important thing was, First things first: There is no such thing as a great waterproof MP3 player.
I concur. My ears are not sized the same (I use smaller buds on my right) and I'm pretty sure I'm bound for water-in-earbuds, can't hear properly, etc, etc issues.
I'll just buy a cheap one first and see whether I like listening to trance while swimming.
Good night.
