Avoid this product!.......2007-11-28
I bought mine, and it worked exactly one time. I was just doing water running, so it was never even submerged. It never worked again, so I was out $150, since I purchased it before the price reduced. I tried contacting the company, to no avail. It just wouldn't respond at all after that first time. It's not worth what you pay, and the company couldn't care less about the product once it's sold.
stopped working the second time I used it...........2007-11-08
I bought this product from amazon 1 month ago. The first time I used it for swimming it was great...2 days later I went again to the pool and the mp3 player suddenly stopped working, from that moment on, it never turned on or showed any signal of life...I live in brazil and bought it while I was travelling in the US. So far I had no response from freestyleaudio regarding support or something like it..i totally advise any one who is interested on this product to reconsider it..
Ok product, not great service.......2007-10-18
After researching quite a few different waterproof MP3 players, I decided to purchase the freestyle audio sport 1G player. I wanted one that would also work outside of the water. The first player arrived promptly; when I plugged the USB in my computer to charge the battery, my computer didn't recognize the device. After a couple of re-starts, same problem. I tried to power on/off the player and it then got stuck in the "on" position and would not turn off. After 3 calls to Freestyle customer service, they agreed to send a replacement.
The new player worked fine and was recognized by my computer. However, you will have to convert any Windows media files to MP3 (with a free program such as "Switch") before you can load then on your player. I copied files by dragging and dropping, because the optional playlist software you can download from Freestyle Audio's web site was non-functional. I even tried a re-install after the new player came, but the program never populated with the proper MP3 files. Because of this, I have to erase songs off of the player by "formatting" in windows media player. It's kind of a pain.
The player worked great in the water--good sound. Even with the smallest earbuds, however, I found the pressure to painful with a swim cap. I have fairly small ears. If you also have this problem I would recommend not pulling your swim cap over your ears. I only put one ear bud in while I swim and the sound is stil fine. You can still do underwater turns with it--I tend to just tuck the player into the waist of my suit rather than use the armband.
I found out something really annoying after my first use--My player won't remember what song it left off at. According to Freestyle's web site, the player is supposed to remember if you always turn if on/off at the switch (rather than unplugging the headphones). I have always done this, but the player still won't remember. Since it holds a lot of songs, and I only swim for 40 minutes at a time, this is HIGHLY annoying! I have called Freestyle three times (once I got a real person who was supposed to call back) trying to find out about a patch or another replacement. Their service is poor, in my opinion. This product has a 90 day warranty, so I should be able to get another product sent if I could get a real person on the phone!
Bottom line--I recommend with reservations. I think most of the players work as promised. However, I have had 2 players now that each had some sort of problem. Combined with some ho-hum customer service, it's hard to be too enthusiastic about their product.
I love it!.......2007-08-03
I was a little worried about buying an MP3 player off of the Internet, but I am so happy I did! I have the 1GB model and it is totally awesome, so far. I have not been swimming with it yet, but I did submerse it in a sink full of water and it worked perfect! It even floats...which is a good thing!
It comes with a neoprene arm band which is pretty comfy, and the waterproof headphones work very good...the sound is not as clear as through reg. headphones, but trust me they are loud enough...I have quite a bit of hearing loss and they are plenty loud enough for me...
Personally, I would highly recommend this MP3 Player to my friends. It's built well, it's durable, light I can't even tell it's on my arm. It's a sweet deal.
It also holds quite a bit of songs...and is very easy to transfer songs to.
Oh, I almost forgot the greatest thing! It has built in rechargeable batteries, all you have to do is plug in the USB cord and let it charge...and they last a long time.
Great product..........2007-07-24
I did alot of research on these before i purchased them. They sound great in the water. I still havent got the right size for my ears yet. They come with 3 sizes and I just used the mediums that were on there and it seemed like they came out a couple times. They sounded great though, i used it for the purpose of lap swimming and it was amazing. I didnt want to get out of the water.

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.

Good sound, a little hard to navigate.......2007-10-24
I bought this to listen to music and audio books while in the pool. The quality of sound is good, but operation isn't exactly intuitive. Very hard to see the directional arrows near buttons, and the buttons aren't as responsive as I'd like. Easy to load music and books onto device. I'd buy it again if I couldn't find anything better in its price range.

A Really Cool and Unique Alarm Clock!.......2007-12-22
This is one really cool-looking alarm clock! I purchased this clock because I wanted a completely battery-powered clock as a back-up in case the power went out and also because I do alot of traveling.
The clock features an orange-colored backlight, three different alarm sounds (submarine sonar, froggie, and ringing bell) and the fourth alarm is the FM radio. To choose which alarm sound you want, you simply turn the clock so that the little icon for that sound is facing-up. The clock has an inner gyroscope that automatically flips the digital display right-side-up no matter which way you turn it - again a pretty cool feature!
Here are some Pro's and Cons:
Pros:
1. Very unique design
2. LONG LONG battery life (I bought mine in January 2006 and it's been almost 2 years and I haven't changed the batteries once! No kidding!).
3. Very compact - takes very little space on your nightstand and is excellent for traveling.
4. Alarms are pleasant to wake-up to, yet loud enough so that you don't sleep through them.
5. Very solidly-built.
Cons:
1. You have to push the orange outer part of the face to illuminate the backlight. This saves batteries, but in the night you can't just glance at the clock and see what time it is. This means you have to place the clock withing reach in order to see the time at night.
2. The time set, alarm set, and sleep buttons are located on one side which may not be on the side that you chose to face-up as your alarm. This means you may have to actually flip it over to turn on and off the alarm. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
3. The tuner is one of those dial tuners (not digital). Most alarm clocks have the dial tuner so this isn't a huge deal - but the digital ones (like on car stereos) are much easier to tune than dial ones.
All-in-all I really like this clock and it has earned a place on my nightstand at home and when I travel. And people who see it are fascinated by it.
