MP3 Player for Swimming: Bone-Conducting Finis SwiMP3
Oct 26 2004, 3:33am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Finis a manufacturer of competitive swim equipment, introduces the world's first waterproof bone-conducting MP3 Player.
Unlike other waterproof
players that rely on traditional air conduction technologies, the SwiMP3 player
uses bone conduction – the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek
bone to the inner ear – to provide the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity.
The SwiMP3 player is fully waterproof and can be used with all competitive swim
strokes. It holds approximately 30 songs for four hours of continuous music.
