![]() In the case of small home electronics, it is often simple enough to fix. Contact with water in even minute amounts can destroy batteries. Most rechargeable batteries also use alkali elements, which are highly reactive with water. This is because water often gets trapped between the digitize and glass. LCD screens of many electronic devices are prone to irreparable damage when coming into contact with water. This is often components like capacitors and transistors which can be overloaded or corroded by too much energy. The particles in water can help quickly spread the power from the battery to unintended components of the electronic device. Corrosive particles, especially salts and minerals found in saltwater and tap water, can quickly corrode electronic devices that are powered on and energized. ![]() In actuality, it is the particles in water which cause problems with electronics. Water itself is less of risk factor than normally understood for electronics. For instance, when printed circuit boards are created, they are often rinsed in water multiple times to remove any contaminants or leftover soldering. When many electronic devices are being created, water is often a large part of their production. It has become common knowledge that water and electronics do not mix. And, for what it's worth, a lot of these selections will work better with a good swim cap. In the mean time, check out our wikis on exercise-focused and waterproof headphones if you don't need to fully submerge them for hours at a time. We sincerely hope that underwater music players can continue to advance over the coming years. It's a bit difficult for some users to get working, but if you're comfortable with a little bit of tinkering around, you should consider using a Bluetooth keyboard to set this one up, because it is actually one of the most capable currently on the market. That leaves us with the Delphin Micro Tablet. They're also great for running in the rain. The AfterShokz Xtrainerz use bone conduction technology to pump sound straight through your skull (weird, right?) and although not everyone appreciates the audio fidelity, they are a very well-made pair of headphones. There are a couple unconventional options worth considering, as well. The Sewobye W118 is another generally high-performing device that should satisfy most swimmers. ![]() On the other hand, if you're comfortable with the iTunes interface, the Underwater Audio iPod Shuffle is an upgraded version of Apple's iconic and practically microscopic device, and it works very, very well. If you want a simple player that should last for quite a while, that's your best bet. The Swimbuds Syryn is undoubtedly the most popular in the last couple years. ![]() So we've gathered those that are most effective right now, and we're confident that the ones on our list will serve you well. In fact, even some of the most interesting options still need to be further developed to be truly useful - that's why we refrained from listing those models here. We're not going to lie and tell you that in 2019 there are a ton of excellent tools for listening to music while you're swimming. Its ability to link to Spotify and Amazon Music is convenient for swimming laps out of range. Another great choice is the cute and tiny AudioFlood Mighty. The H20 Stream 2, which works underwater for an unlimited amount of time, falls into this category. If staying connected to your music or audiobook collection is important to you, you may want to check out the devices with Bluetooth capability. Likewise, the similarly-priced Pyle Flextreme is a headband-style device with good music quality and an impressive ten hours of battery life. The Agptek S07E is a simple, budget-friendly option that provides a decent amount of space, and can function as a radio on days when you run out of tunes. If you don’t have a lot to spend right now, there are some choices on our list that won’t break the bank. Two options on our list that offer low storage are the Finis Duo, featuring four gigabytes, and the Underwater Audio iPod Shuffle, which works well on its two gigabytes. In this case, a low storage MP3 player would suffice and may come with a lower price tag to boot. However, because the majority of these devices do not allow for song selection, it may be easier to find your favorites if there are fewer tracks to shuffle through. The Sony Bluetooth Walkman is a welcome addition to our list, as it offers 16 gigabytes of storage and holds over 3000 songs. If having a large library of songs to rotate through is important to you, you’ll want a device with plenty of memory.
