    I swim 4 to 5x a week. I bought the first one. After using it 2x, the water leaked into the player. I was so unhappy and disappointed because it is an expensive mp3 player. Plus, I expected it should perform better than my last one. However, after contacting with the Seller and the technical support personnels from the manufacture, I was able to resend the item. I always have doubt about the customer service from the website company. However, both these companies have an excellent customer service. They made sure their customers are happy. I received back the mp3 players after 7 days. I have been using from the last 2 days. I am very satisfied with the item. It is compact, light and stereo sound waterproof mp3 player. I hope this mp3 player would last at least a year for me. I can not swim without it now.

    Note remember to connect the earpieces correctly so you can get a better sound from it.

    My final comment about this item is it is worthy to buy this item.

    I had no problem with the Nu dolphin touch. I had it for over 6 months now. I can now do more laps in the pool. i also lost about 10 pounds. Great product! I would recommend it to anyone that swims

    This MP3 player lives up to its claims. WORKS GREAT. i AM IN pHYSICAL THERAPY AND IN THE POOL 3-4 DAYS A week and needed a distraction, now I can focus on the music and not the pain. The waterproof earbuds take some getting used to…made my ears ache the first couple of times but are fine now. Tjhis is better than my old MP3 player that I payed a lot more money for. The only bad thing is trying to find earbuds for use on land because they have a small tip and most earbuds are larger. But, overall the best MP3 player I have ever had and I recomend it to everyone I know.

    It is great to be able to have music near the water and not worry about it getting ruined.

    Had the Dolphin in the pool 4 times now after a couple of weeks of hesitation. Touch screen works well enough. Screen locks after a few seconds so you don’t trigger a song change by accident. Still learning the system, and as a novice MP3 user (yes, at 47 I did not grow up with one in my crib), I find the instructions rather lame. That may be less of a problem for more tech-wise folks. I saw the volume control option on the touchscreen exactly one time in several attempts to locate it. Luckily, I set it at a tolerable level the one time I saw it as I’ve never been able to find it again! Controls are managed through the on/select/off button and a touch screen with 4 “buttons” and buried menus. Confuses the hell out of me, but I never learned how to use Windows Media Player to set up a playlist to give you some perspective! Need to rent a teenager to explain how to move around on it…

    If you screw the waterproof headphone jack in WELL, I can’t imagine having leakage (as per other review). I am not thrilled by the earplug headset, but am getting used to it. There are a number of different size earplug covers included so perhaps I am just trying to shove too large a plug in. Mine came with a better quality normal set of earbuds for out of water fun. In the water, you aren’t getting high-fidelity, but you DO GET MUSIC. I am a right side breather when doing the crawl, and my right earplug doesn’t fit as well as might be possible. I get water in that ear (as it is often held upward and acts as a water trap) that gets past the earplug. Surprisingly, that doesn’t much affect the sound. Generally better sound when ears are submerged, but in all cases, I can hear the music clearly enough to keep my head occupied with something other than counting laps. Tonight for the first time, I eliminated the slower songs from my initial upload and swam HARD for 6-7, 3-4 minute songs. While I can swim a mile without too much trouble, I swim fairly casually. I am sure I did at least a half mile in at least 20 minutes of hard swimming and was hardly aware of the strain. The power of music!

    Finally, there are wires on this of course. And the unit is designed to be attached to swimming goggle strap. No goggles would be less than ideal I think, though mine also came with an armband I have not used. With goggles, the wires can be tucked up under the strap in the rear to get them out of the way. With the Dolphin strapped onto the goggle strap with the included flexible clips, and the wires tucked into the goggle strap as well, it has held up for 4 long and/or hard swims. I don’t notice the Dolphin at all while swimming. Others certainly do. Been asked about it a bunch already at the pool after swimming! I’m quite pleased in general. Wish me luck on getting past my technical limitations with navigating the menus.
