not bad, for the price.......2007-12-18
I've been using this mp3 player for about 9 mos. It takes some time getting used to it though. The housing is bulky and annoying. The headphones have been working, but lately the sound is fading in one of them. They are also bulky and I have a hard time keeping them in my ears- and after an hour swim they hurt. But overall, for the price it does the job.
Decent.......2007-12-04
I bought this over a year ago (cost me $75!) and I loved it while it lasted. The plastic bubble may not be slick or pretty, but the player is not at all cumbersome while swimming; the sound is quite good and the batteries last a long time. The player functions suddenly stopped about a month ago, but for the price now, I would definitely get another one. I am not upset that it stopped working, actually I put it through a LOT because I was using it heavily for memory as well as playing music outside the water all this time. If anything I am surprised at its sturdiness.
Best Waterproof MP3 Player On The Market.......2007-05-17
Don't know what "Picasso" was talking about, since first of all the H20 Man is 512 MB, not 128 (which was, I think, an old original product). Secondly, the bubble - which has all the controls on the outside; easily pressed in the water - is small, and fits on the front or the back of my bathing suit (or even on the band of a scuba mask if you snorkel, which I do) or on the velcro armband that comes with it.
Third, this little thing has great stereo sound - even better under water! - and best of all the silicone earplugs don't fall out of your ears when you're moving fast.
It's drag and drop too, so I just connect it to my laptop and drag all my MP3's on it. The 512 MB holds a ton, and sometimes I put an entire audio book on it for a different kind of workout instead. The price is amazing - though I admit I got it for a bit less on The Writers' Collective site, and the one I got a year ago is still going strong.
Great Price, for and underwater mp3, .......2007-01-30
well i bought this one knowing it was cheap, i guess i just wanted to try for a couple of bucks if i could avoid spending 150 dollars on the speedo mp3.... bad choise it turns out to be a very cheap 128 mega mp3 that goes inside a pretty big and not so nice looking plastic bubble thats almost the size of a big red bull can (energizer drink) and its pretty hard to swim with it..... and worst of all, the mp3 player did not work, so i use it now as a pretty limited usb drive(memory stick) red colored and expensive, knowing that the 1 giga usb stick goes around 14.99 (kingstone) so i got a 40 something dollar mp3 player that dosent work good and looks bad, so save yourself a couple of bucks.... the one thing its pretty good are the waterproof earbuds, but i can use the with out and mp3 of course.
thank you for your time.

Do not buy this........2007-10-30
This player can hardly fit any music in it and the one that I bought would make constant sounds when was used on the FM mode. Thus, it couldn't be used as a radio and neither it could store enogh songs to be considered an mp3 player.
Do not buy this.
It will last you 3 months tops.......2007-03-28
I swim almost every day for about 30-45 minutes. I thought it would be really neat to try to add music to my workout so I got MP120 as it was the only player under 100 at that time. First thing I noticed about MP120 was that the headphone wires were too much in the way and needed to be tucked under the swimming cap or wound around the goggle strap. Second and far more annoying problem was that the ear buds would fall out whenever I immersed in the water or tried to do a flip. So if you are only planning to use a kick board, this player may be great for you, for free style, [...] stroke, butter fly, or flips, I wouldn't recommend it.
After about 3 months, the water started getting into the ear buds and I noticed corrosion in and around the headphone speakers. It wasn't long before the left speaker started buzzing and the sound was seriously degraded.
The customer support for Oregon Scientific is absolutely of the worst kind. Long wait times, false promises and no records of previous calls are all too common. I called three times just to get a request in for a replacement ear buds. The person took the request, and said they would ship a new replacement free of charge since the product was still under the warranty. After three weeks I still haven't received anything. I tried calling the support again and after about 40 minutes of waiting I got to the same person I talked to the last time, however he had no recollection of me and was not able to pull anything on his computer, so he took the order again. I called again 6 months later and asked if they could try shipping the replacement since I haven't received it, but this time I was told my product is no longer under warranty and that I would have to buy a new MP3 player. Nice.
My next set will be Finis SwimMp3 Player which I have heard is superior in many ways.
Update (April 4, 2007): I did received a call from Oregon Scientific tech support on March 28 with an apology and a claim that they are commited on improving the user experience. I got the new set of ear buds the other day, and they seem to have a better design. For one, they don't fall out anymore and the sound is better. On the older set, the sound would degenerate when the cap was placed over the buds. The new head phones don't have this problem. I'm willing to give them another try.
It's OK........2007-02-17
I've been using mine for a year or so, and I like it. I did have to add some earbud caps that came off an old waterproof player in order for the earphones to stay in my ears. It works fine, but it is not terribly convenient to organize your music. There doesn't seem to be any way to set it to shuffle play, and the only way to organize a playlist is alphabetically by name of song. So I'm constantly having to rename my songs in order to get them in the order I want. I wouldn't buy it again, but if you get a good deal on one, it might be worth a try.
Don't buy it, even if you think it will be ok. .......2006-08-17
I read the bad reviews and knew what I was getting into but thought it would be ok. I was wrong. After two uses, the headphone connection started to go bad. If you tighten up the headphone bottom unit, to prevent water from getting into the unit, the headphone connection does not work. In my case, I loosened the headphone bottom unit just a little past extremely tight, to get the headphones to work, and water leaked into the unit. I have an extended warranty but it will not cover water damage. Nothing like a $100 paperweight. Having to remove and re-tighten the headphone bottom unit (to charge or download music) is this products downfall, because the headphone connection will go bad, like in my case, or you will not tighten the unit enough, again like in my case, and water will ruin the unit.
Think again.......2006-03-25
I would NOT recommend this product. It will not work well, causing more problems than it is good for. Look at another option!

Great Price and it works well.......2007-05-23
For the price the H20 Man works perfect. If I don't get the earplugs in tight then part way through my swim I need to put them in again. I take it out of the waterproof case and use it while I ride my bicycle.
The controls were a little difficult to figure out and then use. How can a device with three buttons be hard to use you might ask. Each button has two functions and it requires that you hold the button down for a few seconds to activate the second function.
I really like the device and feel comfortable saying it was worth the money.

Good quality price - Souheil from Marseille.......2007-10-28
I don't live in US. I had to ask my nephew's help to send it to me. The first item I received from Computer Geeks was defective (it's strange because I notice that another customer has had the same problem). However, Computr geeks replaced it, and though it took me more than 2 months (and too much shipping charges) to have it, I find that it worth the waiting.
I tried it last WE in the sea (27th Oct. brrr!!) and it was really fantastic !!! at last I can hear other thing than the water splash and my respiration during my swimming, and it makes the time pass very quickly.
Earplugs are a little bit difficult to fix, but the music is loud and clear, and it blocks all the surrounding noise.
Overall, for the price, I think it is a good buy.
Not worth the trouble of purchasing item.......2007-09-25
I purchased this item from Computer Geek. The item was defective and did not work. Though it took a little over 30 days to resolve the return and refund I am totally happy with Computer Geek because they stood by their policy. It just took time to get it all resolved. I would not buy this product again but rather go for a higher priced item like IPods Shuffle (waterproof) because it really does work and even though it is 4 time more expensive it is worth the comfort level.
Christine from Boston.......2007-06-14
I just bought this for my husband for father's day. He wanted something to wear when riding his jet ski. I just loaded it up with some tunes for him. It is real easy to load songs and if you have a more current version of windows, you don't need to load the software. The ear plugs have more treble on them than I would like and could use more bass. But overall, they do seem to get nice and loud. I got one for myself since we both have jet skis and the volume seems like it will be able to handle the background noise of the skis...stay tuned. Overall, I think they're a good buy for a waterproof mp3.
a thumb up.......2007-06-12
As I'm not living in the states, I had to have my friend send it to me, and the route was like CA >> MA >> Singapore. Well, I should say, it's worth the itchy wait.
The color scheme, though a tad gaudy, is much more acceptable than the London Olympics logo. Opening up the package is however a demanding task, physically. And figuring out how it works is another one, intellectually. For the uninitiated, there is practically no user maual, except an uninstallation guide that can go straight to the recycle bin (the real one!). You'd be better off trusting your techie instinct than going through any of the pages. And that's what I did.
The player is nothing special, except that it's enclosed in an oxygen-tank-like capsule, which may be an embarrassment in a 1.4m-pool like the one in my condo. I guess that's necessary to keep it airtight. Each of the four (two as replacement set) earpieces is simply an earplug with an orifice at its end. Caution! These innocuous-looking rubber baubles can traumatize your ears, if you are not blessed with XXL-sized auditory organs. There's also a band to fix this pretty weighty capsule around your upper arm. (At first, I thought this was to be stripped around the neck, considering its length. It was a serious mistake that almost sent me to the underworld instead of the underwater.)
However, once you got over the setup pain, you'd be amazed at how this thing transforms the banal water slog into something that you can actually ENJOY for AN HOUR!! (My average used to be a meager 15 min.) The sound is loud and clear. I mean, even as you stroke and paddle in manners beyond social norms. I guess, the earplugs did a great job blocking all surrounding noises and venting only music into the eardrums. (It could also have been my ears were so swollen that they reached a state of purgatory.) A pair of goggles is all that needed to relieve wire haters the worry of getting snared. As the buttons are accessible from the exterior of the capsule, you can skip/rewind/volume up/down without emerging from the water and opening it up.
The best thing I like about it is that it not only accepts both MP3 and WMA files, but also recognizes Chinese and Japanese characters!! This saves me the daunting drudge of changing hundreds of file names!! Worth a big thumb up!
Fine for the price.......2007-05-25
While I was desperate to have something to listen to while swimming laps, I didn't quite trust the waterproof iPod housings, and I don't really feel like experimenting with my $500 iPod. So I bought the H20 Man, and while it's not great, it's fine for what I paid.
It's a little hinky - if you don't eject it EXACTLY right, it'll throw a temper tantrum and refuse to play. Special bonus: the software and manual are written in completely inscrutable Engrish, so it's mostly trial and error figuring out the operations. The headphones are the worst part, but I've had better luck getting them to stick by cutting down the little earplugs, and I'll have to try swapping them out at some point.
All that said, once you do get it working, it's really nice to have the music. The sound isn't exactly THX, but it's good enough to keep me moving and motivated. The housing is large, but entirely waterproof, and I just clip it to the back of my suit so it's out of the way, and it doesn't cause me problems. It's a good product for the money.

Works, but not very loud.......2007-09-10
The MP3 player works great, and it's easy to copy music onto it. It's definitely waterproof, and I've used it swimming. However, the waterproof headphones just don't crank out enough sound. I'm not sure if I'm not inserting them correctly, or what, but at our indoor pool facility the volume just doesn't go up loud enough.
So if you are planning on using them in a noisy pool, or you need loud volume, this isn't so great. For other activities though, with non-waterproof headphones, it's great.

Don't swim with it!.......2007-11-28
This item is NOT waterproof. It failed 20 minutes into my first time in the pool. It was properly closed and sealed (you fully tighten 1 screw to accomplish this). I was swimming laps and the player was never more than 2/3 meter below the surface (though it was fully immersed for that 20 minutes). It quit playing and when I examined it I could see moisture behind the glass on the interface screen. Even after opening drying it for a week, it never recovered. I returned it and received a full refund. This player may work for activities where water immersion is short and intermittent, but if you're looking to lap swim, best try a different "waterproof" player.
512MB Waterproof MP3/Pedometer.......2007-10-11
This item is value for my money. It's work well when I used it during my swimming session. However a little bit disappointed with the FM reception.
Huge improvement over earlier version (MP120).......2007-08-06
Swam a 1/2 mile and found this to be flawless: great sound, new, improved earbuds with ear loops really stay in place (during active crawl stroke)... no water in ear (added benefit for people like me who are prone to swimmer's ear). Bigger, easy to read screen with a much more user friendly menu interface (don't have to scroll thru all your songs...you can search by artist). I usually don't write reviews but when a company makes a significant effort to improve a product (like Oregon Scientific did), I feel compelled to write something!
MP3 Pedometer.......2007-06-24
This is great - just as advertised. I sent it as a gift to my daughter and she is thrilled with it. Arrived ahead of time! Thanks for efficient service.
Junk.......2007-05-07
This is possibly the worst-designed piece of consumer electronics I've ever seen. Worst feature: Can be charged only through a USB cable - about an hour charging required for every hour of use. Clunky, incomprehensible user interface. Won't play all MP3's. Spend a few extra bucks and buy an iPod, Zen, or even a Zune. Did not test waterproof feature.
