Take the touch pro underwater for a swim?
Hey gang,
Was looking for some help. I know we all love to do nifty things with our Touch Pros. I was wondering if anyone has taken one for a swim. I certainly can invest in a standalone underwater mp3 player made for swimming but I'd much rather bring my baby for the ride. So far with my own searching I've seen waterproof cases but that's about it. I was hoping to either find: 1.) a swimming 'kit' including a case and headphones etc... or 2.) a bluetooth headset that can work underwater (do these exist)? That way I could just get the case and the headset and be ready to rock. Thoughts? Ideas? Am I crazy? |

hahah, you're going to need specialized sound-isolating earbuds to be able to use headphones underwater, which bluetooths typically aren't. There should be clear waterproof ziploc-type bags that are made especially to keep electronics dry in water, but no room to be able to pull a headphone wire through and still have it remain waterproof.
something similar to this http://www.landfallnavigation.com/aquapaccases.html if you're going to be swimming in the ocean, seawater is incredibly corrosive and will damage the headphone contacts very fast. //nice moonzbabysh has a much better site, the waterproof mp3 case looks good as long as you get a extUSB to 3.5 converter |

it really depends on your swimming i guess... i go surfing several times a yr out in CA and FL.. i just went 2 weeks ago... i wear a thin divers wet suit(the ones with the hood).. i totally have my phone on hip everytime.. well basically its just stick in there, not actualy attached to anything lol .. but i have my headset in.. hell i answer calls while im on 10ft waves.. did it tons of times with my mogul.. my TP just got its wave hoppin cherry popped lol
if you got a waterproof case and a swimmers cap you could def pull this off.. as far as bluetooth, does that work under water? i mean would the signal actually travel between to points? |

Thanks for all the help. My brother may actually by some ipod one cause it's built for it. I almost S**t myself. Just picturing him installing itunes on a computer to transfer music literally is giving me nightmares. Please someone....
Help with a good solution. And I have no clue how well bluetooth works underwater. I would love to find out though. Mr. Boredandtatooed, I'm a little confused. Are you simply saying you keep your device under your wetsuit and it stays dry? |
Re: Take the touch pro underwater for a swim?
yes thats exactly what im saying...wet suits are watertight... same as the swimmers cap idea i gave ya.. watch a competetive swimmer get out of the water, their hair is only wet due to sweat..
