Waterproof audio options?

Nerva · #1 (**permalink**) 01-10-2010, 12:55 AM

I see there's a pretty impressive looking waterproof case for the TP2, but it doesn't seem to have any means for getting a 3.5mm audio connection out of it (I've seen that on waterproof cases for older devices). So if I want to listen to music or an audio book in a hottub, for example, what are my options? The waterproof bluetooth devices I've found online all seem to be BT 1.3 or lower -- i.e. no stereo or newers BT features...

But what waterproof case for the TP2 has a 3.5mm out?

I've actually had the aquapak waterproof 3.5mm earbuds on my Amazon wish list for a while... they get good reviews... the problem is I need a waterproof case for the TP2 that has a 3.5mm connector inside the case which passes the 3.5mm connection through the case.

That would be the tricky part, I have been looking around for the last few days for some options without a whole lot of luck.

I have this, and it stands up pretty well to abuse. I paid $30 new for it, so look around if you want to go that way. What I like about the dogtag is you can plug in any 3.5mm headset and it will work with it.

I have had my Plantronics 855 for awhile now..
It has taken some serious abuse and keeps working.

Battery life ususally exceeds the Touch Pro that i currently have.
Although it might match the life on the TP2

I know its not waterproof.. But its the only one i know that has good batt life and is compact.

Guys, I think he's looking specifically for this. Not any random bluetooth products.

The AquaPac one looked great to me (particularly the armband) until I saw the TP2 is too long for its listed capacity.

Has anyone tried putting their TP2 in the AquaPac?

The maximum length is rated at 110mm but the TP2 is listed at 116.0 x 59.2 x 17.3 mm... 1/4" too long.

The picture on their website has an iPod in it, which is listed at 103.5 x 61.8 x 10.5 mm, which is 1/2" shorter than the TP2, and the volume of the TP2 is 76% more... not looking good.
