I decided to join my local year-round pool to get some exercise. I have found a waterproof iPod case that still lets you listen to songs; but does anyone know of any good brands of waterproof head/earphones?

Yes, I have Googled them. I am looking for personal testimonies of brands and/or retailers.

An interesting idea, but I would think that any form of underwater speaker would be sufficient for most of the pool to hear given the properties soundwaves in water. Let me know how it works if you get anywhere.

thats a neat idea, but i hate those in the ear headphones give me a massive headache way before my music does

Well, I bought the headphones from the link atm314 listed (though I had found them before I posted the topic). The case I'm using is a Lilipod. The case works very well; even when it's submerged it doesn't leak at all. The downside is that you can't access the controls while it's sealed in the case.

The headphones do work and they are waterproof. It's a really weird feeling when you first stick your head underwater and you can still hear the music perfectly. However, cable management is a real problem. I've tried it on the front part of my shorts, the back facing outward, the back facing inward, and in the back pocket, but they all have basically the same problem. The cable likes to stick to you and it creates a fair amount of tension when you twist yourself in the other direction in your stroke. It's worse for the crawlstroke than it is for the breaststroke. I don't do sidestrokes or butterflies when I swim, so I can't comment on those.

Another thing: don't take these diving. I wouldn't go below 6 feet with these in my ears. Since they basically plug your ear up, there's no way to equalize pressure in your ear canal and you can fuck your ear up pretty good if you don't.

Try behind you. Is what I did in high school with mine so I could wear them in class and no one could tell

ya, id just try runing them down your back.

I wasn't very clear in my earlier post. I did try them in the back, and while it was better than in the front, it didn't work as well as I wanted. I have a bruise on my leg to prove it. The Lilipod slipped off my shorts and just floated behind me. About a half stroke later I kicked, bringing my lower shin right into the cable, and the tension from the buoyant case made the cable pretty rigid. It also yanked the buds out of my ears.

Behind the back would be best, anyway. Need some way to better attach it, though. If you have someone there that could help you, could get some waterproof tape and tape the cord down to your back (so it doesn't free float) and, in a pinch, do the same with the case.

If you're any good at sewing, you could make a little pouch/belt thingie that you could use. Might look weird, but it'd work
