subject: Five Smart Tips On How You Can Enjoy Music While On The Water [print this page] When you are relaxing and having fun, music and water can be part of it at the same time. Here are some ways to help you listen to music while you are swimming:
Purchase a waterproof case for your music player
You need not get yourself a new gadget if you want to listen to music while swimming. You can still make use of your current music player and get it a waterproof case. You will find many waterproof ipod cases, Zune cases, and other waterproof MP3 cases on the market today, and you can pair one with waterproof earphones to complete your gear.
Purchase an underwater music player
If you are not comfortable putting a waterproof case on your music player, you may purchase an MP3 that is intended for underwater use. With these music players, you don't have to worry about accidents or leaks in your waterproof case that might cause your MP3 player to break.
Consider getting bone conduction sound equipment
Waterproof earphones may not produce the best quality of music underwater and may not give you the best comfort while swimming. Sound waves are disrupted underwater, which makes using standard earphones underwater unadvisable. Get bone-conduction headphones or music players if you want to experience better quality of sound while underwater. However, you'll need goggles for these headphones to function. They are attached to your facial bone, instead to your ears, by clipping on to both sides of your goggles. Instead of conducting sound vibrations through the wearer's ear canal, sound vibrations are transmitted via the bone in the inner ear. You may choose to purchase bone conduction headphones alone that can be attached to your MP3 player with waterproof casing, or you can buy a waterproof music player with bone conduction headphones included.
Have speakers that are waterproof and wireless
This option is ideal if you do not want anything on your ears or on your face. This is also a great idea for group swimming activities because all the swimmers can enjoy the music. Waterproof wireless speakers available today are compatible with iPod, Zune, and other MP3 players. These wireless speakers work using a transmitter that broadcasts music from your MP3 player to your speaker. With these equipments, everyone will not only love the great music, but you are also assured that your MP3 player will always remain dry and safe.
Install in your swimming pool a sound system that plays underwater
You may install a sound system that functions in and out of the pool, if you really love music while relaxing in the water. This setup includes waterproof speakers placed at the pool's bottom and around the pool area. You can listen to music while you swim and even after you leave the pool.
With these smart ideas, swimming is made more enjoyable and relaxing. You can now fully enjoy your pool time if you have music with you even when you are in the water.
