Ever wonder that you can listen favourite music while swimming? Now you can make it with Finis‘ SwiMP3! It is actually a water resistant MP3 player with a set of a set of goggles. Well, it doesn’t come with headphones! It uses the technique name bone conduction to transfer sound to the listener by resonating vibrations through the cheekbones.

How does it work?

The new SwiMP3 is revolutionary in that it relies on bone conduction of sound. When the device is placed on any bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones or the mastoid tip) it leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. Thus swimmers can enjoy clarity of sound with the SwiMP3 device that was never before possible. Bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity. Finis’s application of the technology brings an entirely new level of experience to swimmers, either while working out or taking a leisurely swim.

It is sold at US$249.99 with 128MB.
