Swim Those Laps While Listening To Music Through Your Cheekbones!

Swimming is something which I have always loved, and whenever I find time to spare, I would straight away head to the pool. For me it's a workout which is way better than heading to the gym and picking up weights. At the gym, you will hear the stereo playing some really good music which gets you all pumped up to start exercising and bring out those muscles. Music increases the productivity of any task you're performing and here that would be working out. But this liberty was never brought to swimming, and even though you had a waterproof media player and earphones, the swimming maneuvers would get the earphones out of your ear. So to tackle this hassle FINIS came out with the Neptune speakers with which you could listen to music, while underwater, while swimming, through your cheekbones.

The Neptune speakers send sound waves to your bones which makes them vibrate, letting you hear music. This phenomenon is observed in a few marine mammals and is called "Bone Conduction". You hear music through your ear when the earphones try to conduct the sound waves through the air to reach your eardrums. But underwater there is practically no air medium. So, the advantage with the Neptune speakers is that they are going straight to your head marking out any need for earphones. The current speakers are an upgrade to SwiMP3, which was FINIS's earlier product a year ago with 128MB of memory, priced at $180. The new Neptune speaker houses 4GB of memory and is priced at $160.

This product should be an instant hit to all the professional swimmers out there. And for me, I can already think of all those tracks that I would enjoy listening to while I burn some calories in the pool. Hopefully I wouldn't end up throwing my fists up or shaking a leg, distracted to the songs playing while I swim.
