FINIS isn’t close to being finished with its innovation in waterproof digital music player. The company, which is a developer and provider of select training equipment for the U.S. Olympic Swim Team, announces the release of its SwiMP3 2G, an upgraded version of its award-winning underwater MP3 player.
The SwiMP3 2G brings music to the pool and beach, and is therefore perfect for swimmers and triathletes looking to eliminate the watery silence of swimming lap after lap. The player offers twice as much music as the original version for a total of 30 hours or approximately 500 songs, and features a unique and patented bone conduction technology by transmitting high-fidelity sound underneath the water.
This player also gets to the bone of it, literally. As FINIS holds the international patent on bone conduction technology, standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water, which causes the swimmer to hear distorted sound. Humans normally hear through air conduction, but because there is no air underneath the water, bone conduction provides the clearest sound quality possible. The sound vibrations can be directly transferred from the cheekbone to the inner ear, giving the swimmer the ultimate sensory experience whether engaged in training workouts or recreational activities.
“We created the SwiMP3 2G specifically for swimmers so they could continually swim to the crystal clear undistorted sound of the music that motivates them,” says John Mix, President of FINIS. Our new version of the SwiMP3 features 2GB of storage that can hold up to 500 of your favorite tunes and is free of cumbersome ear buds.”
The SwiMP3 2G is available now (MSRP: $159.99), and ready to bring music to your water workout.
