Hello

Landlady has asked for some headphones for Christmas that she can use whilst swimming. She mentioned ones that are "built in" rather than needing an external player but after a quick Google there seems to be a million different options from all-in-one to waterproof MP3 players to waterproof casing for her iPhone - and all of them have mixed reviews with no stand-out winner.

Does anyone use waterproof headphones? She's just a casual keep-fit swimmer, not a serious one, so it's just to keep her occupied during an hours gentle swimming.

I'm after recommendations really. Don't want to spend a fortune so up to, say £70 or so.

Thanks in advance,
Phil.

hehe A boot? She's used to a foot in the hole... if you know what I mean! Well, more like 12.5" but I don't like to brag.

Thanks for the input. Good point about "pool rules" - hadn't thought of that.

Cheers all.
