Watch over 50 IAAF Events Live and On-Demand at WCSN.com

The Ultimate Sports MP3 Player

Introducing the world's first and only waterproof and wireless sports mp3 player. These Mi-SPORT mp3 headphones have a 1GB memory built into a cool neckband design. At last no wire tangle and no earbuds to fall out. The patented design makes this waterproof/sweatproof mp3 player great for running, cycling and gym work. The player however is more than splash proof! It can be completely submerged with no harm to it making it perfect for swimming, kayaking, and water skiing. Now incorporating the latest 3D music quality with it's adapted waterproof speaker. Relax to music in the bath, or push out that training session with no fear of losing your player or tangling the wires. Circuit training is so much easier with your own music. Enjoy the waves wire-free.

This is the only waterproof pair of classic headphones with a built in mp3 player in the world. The stylish looking headphones play the usual MP3, WMA and WAV formats and are compatible with Windows98/98SE/2000/XP. Depending on track length, the headphones hold well over 14 hours worth of music and the rechargeable battery life is about 8 hours.

Nick Matthew, the 2006 British Open squash champion now uses the player to train with and Mi-SPORT are endeavouring to encourage more athletes to enjoy the benefits of training to wire-free music, podcasts or coaching aids.

Inspiration and freedom at last, for athletes and exercise enthusiasts everywhere.

User's Review June 2008:

By Wayne Fluet

- Positive - good sound quality

- Positive – great sound quality 2 feet under water. It is a really neat experience to be listening to music under water!

- Negative - the headset’s arms/frame are somewhat flimsy and can become easily bent when stored improperly. Although, I have not used the elastic band supplied in the package to correct this problem. After every swim, I lazily throw my headset in my gym bag which caused a bend in the frame.

- Positive – The headset floats! Very nice!

- Neutral – swimming with the headset as well as the supplied earplugs is awesome. The only drawback is that when swimming, it is surprisingly quite noisy with the head splashing and of course breathing. Therefore one does not get a perfect, consistent listen to the music as the ear goes in and out of the water. But none the less, I love my Mi Sport headset for swimming.

- Positive - It’s a wireless headset and an MP3 player. Therefore you do not need to carry an MP3 player in your hand. Everything you need is on your head. This is truly a wireless experience!

- Positive – No problems occurred when swimming in chlorinated pools.

- Positive – Great for running in the rain.

- Positive – I highly recommend the Mi Sport headset for anyone into watersports.
