Listen To Music Through Your Cheekbones While You Swim Laps - Gizmodo

Gizmodo: It's hard to listen to music while you're swimming because even waterproof earbuds that actually stay on try to conduct sound through air to reach your eardrums, and there's not a lot of air underwater. The FINIS Neptune works on this issue by sending sound waves straight into your face. Total bombardment. In a good way.

Interesting, though I don't swim nearly enough to warrant such a purchase.

THAT is a truly good marketing idea. THAT is what creative and different looks like.

Next Sony will sell mp3 player inside a bottle of Coke...

I agree. I remember having 2 sony MP3 players back in 04 to 08 and I loved them. The sound was amazing and never had issues with the software or device like I did with other makes.

Its a shame the MP3 market is on the way down but its niche markets like this where products can stand and a great idea by Sony.

Right! especially after the advent of Android smartphones...

Makes sense. I no longer own a digital camera, MP3 player or sat nav as my phone covers all those bases quite comfortably.
