    Good Points: Easy to use


    Bad Points: NOT WATERPROOF! small memory, poor sound. Worst customer service I've ever experienced.


    General comments: My first and my last Oregon Scientific product. When I first uploaded some songs, it said that the disk was full and after unplugged it from the computer it was completely dead. I went to the shop and they gave me another one. This one worked properly for a few times and then water leaked inside and it stopped working again. I went to the shop again and then I started having a lot of problem with the customer service. They wanted to charge me half of the price of a new one for the repair (around US$80) and it was still under warranty as I have purchased it only 2 months before that. Beside that, the sound is really, really poor and the earphones, like the rest of the unit, are not waterproof at all and they don't suit your ears. They keep falling. You cannot swim with them, unless you wear something to hold them like a swim cap. The problem with the sound is really from its earphones because I've tried with another ones and the sound was much better but you cannot use your own earphones on the water because the design doesn't allow you. And believe it or not, the only difference between normal earphones and this one is that those ones have rubber covers that keep falling all the time. And even more, the reception of the radio is very poor as well.

    Conclusion: Very expensive, very uncomfortable, not waterproof, very poor sound. The customer service is the worse I've ever experienced. A rip-off!

    This mp3 player was bought for me to use lap swimming, but I can't hear the music underwater. The ear buds are somewhat uncomfortable and fall out easily. I also have yet to figure out how to just play the music I want to hear, or to put the player on shuffle.

    Since it does have a regular earphone jack, I can use it in my car stereo (with the tape deck converter I use for my cd player), and also plan to buy better earphones for non-underwater use.
