Nu-dolphin-mp3-med

The NU Dolphin is the first 100% water proof MP3 Player and Head Phones that carry the International Industry approval of IPx7, which means it is fully submersible in water up to 1 metre. The NU Dolphin will make all your leisurely water activities enjoyable whilst listening to your own music whilst Swimming, Snorkeling, in the Spa, Sunning on yourself on a Lillo in the Pool, chilling in the Steam Room or relaxing in the Bath after a hard day’s work.

The new NU Dolphin is a MP3 player tailored for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. The design concept is to create a portable music device that can be worn by swimmers and other water sport athletes while keeping the impact on their athletic performance to minimum. The NU design team come up with this ultra light weight, ultra compact player that weighs only 25g with a dimension of 60 x 20 x 20mm. Its cylindrical-shaped casing features a minimalist outlook with all control buttons located on one side, and the headphone jack on the other side. The earphone attaches to the player via a special screw-in jack to keep the device water-tight.

Both the earphone and the player were tested to comply with IPx7 international water resistant standard. The earphone employs a special non-woven fabric membrane to keep the speaker vibration plate dry while maintaining a high quality sound output. The earpieces are attached with a soft silicon earplug that fits snugly in the ears. The earplugs not only keep the earphones dry but also prevent the earphones from coming loose during vigorous activities.

Nu Dolphin Waterproof MP3 Player

Many years ago several of the leading swimwear companies unsuccessfully tried to launch waterproof music systems and, up until now, none have been truly successful or reliable. Thankfully though, that has all changed and if counting pool tiles is driving you crazy then the Dolphin MP3 Player will definitely help entertain you during those long, lonely swimming sessions!

The exclusive Dolphin waterproof MP3 player really is 100% waterproof as I found out during a 3000m swim session. OK, so my swimming pals did find me a little unsociable as I sang away to some of my favourite tunes, but it certainly kept me entertained. The compact MP3 player comes with waterproof earphones and a rubber band which easily attaches to your swimming goggles to hold it in place. The players has been designed for all water sports, but is definitely useful for swimmers and triathletes, who endure endless hours each week with their heads immersed underwater with little to entertain them other than counting strokes and pool tiles.

The Nu Dolphin Waterproof MP3 player, which retails at around £69.99, is ultra-light at just 25g and provides 1GB storage capacity (roughly eight hours of non stop music), all within a very compact package (60x20x20mm). And, in case you are doubtful of its waterproofness, the device is also certified under the international 'IPX7' water resistant standard and is fully submersible up to one metre from the surface. Overall, a jolly good investment if you're looking for a good, underwater music system
