First - I am not at all convinced that wife.calm would be in favor of a purchase such as this - but I see NO choice. This is a necessary TOOL for assisting in my health plan. Plus the name itself is too clever.... SWIMP3. Brilliant!
I have tried a couple of different underwater music systems over the years.... ear buds, some of the early underwater "radios" etc and none have ever worked terribly well. Either the sound sucks - or the sound of the water itself overwhelms the sound of the music. This on the other hand is based on using bone induction.
What - sounds painful!?!
No - instead the sound wave is carried through your cheekbone into the water inside your inner ear... thus supposedly making the sound quality vastly improved over other attempts. The unit is small and just slips under the band of your goggles...
10 hour battery (more than enough for me - hell 20 minutes is going to be a stretch) and 256Mb of RAM....
Now wife.calm will I am sure make a variety of objections to these.... all reasonable - all rational - so I had best make a couple of points right now. First this is not NEW technology - bone induction for sound has been used for years.... and more importantly this is version 2 of the product... that means a purchase of these is NOT an early adopter acquistion.
Gotta get me some of these!

These look pretty cool! I think they are a good idea. Some other suggested arguments for you to take to Wife.com for the SwiMP3's:
1. Listening to music can be a great distraction and can cause you to work out longer. I find that when I am exercising with headphones on, I don't really hear myself breathing hard and thus do not tire as quickly (causing me to work out longer).
2. Wife.com will not be forced to sing to you for your entertainment while you are swimming. This is probably a benefit to both of you.
If all else fails, you could always resort to using AmEx points to help you purchase SwiMP3zilla.
I want to see you in them ..only a headshot though
