The regular headphones are the lanyard variety so worn around the neck, with the earbuds then plugging into your ears. The headphones plug straight into the 3.5mm waterproof dongle on the player, so you can choose whichever suits your current requirements. You get two sets of headphones with the MP3 player, one regular set and the waterproof set. Volume adjustment is also a long press on the track skip buttons, which can be a little too fiddly. Those controls are also a little quirky with annoying fades between actions, so changing tracks fades down before starting the next and the same happens with pause – we’d much prefer pause to be an instant stop, in case you need to listen to something. ![]() You can just about skip tracks whilst running, but anything else and you really need to stop. There are four buttons on that 19mm diameter round base, which means they are all very small. The controls are adequate for this device type whilst exercising, but not very well conceived. Controls are basic, giving you power, play/pause, track skip and volume adjustment. One end features a short cable with a waterproof 3.5mm jack, and the other end is the home to the controls. The MP3 player itself is a compact metal tube 62mm long with a diameter of 19mm. Certified to IPx8 standard, it will be waterproof for up to 2 hours in 2 meters of water. Lavod hope to make that a thing of the past with their MusicTube, a waterproof MP3 player. ![]() One of the common complaints in swimming laps is boredom.
