Now You Can Act Out All Your Mermaid Fetishes to the Sound of Music

by Danni 1/5/2010 4:23:00 AM

Finis has developed an underwater MP3 player, called the SwiMP3.1G. Now you think that is cool, wait for it...there are no ear phones! Instead of listening through your ears, you will be listening through your bones. And no, it is not the magic of milk that is doing this (although milk does a body good), but a new technology called Bone Conduction. Since music usually gets muffled underwater, Finis has developed bone conduction technology that sends sound vibrations through the cheek bone to the inner ear for the best quality of sound. What an amazing invention! If you want to swim faster, you can play the theme song from Jaws or from Rocky; and if you want to reenact The Little Mermaid (which I know you do), you can listen to the soundtrack. The newest model of SwiMP3.1G gives the user 1G of storage (approximately 250 songs) and a new sleek design that can easily be strapped onto one's goggles. It plays MP3 files as well as WMA files, so you can actually read a book while swimming! Well, technically it would be you listening to a book being read by another person while you swam. Same difference though. This invention has already been added to my Christmas list. It is best to start early in my opinion.

Inventions that make exercising fun are always winners. If you have an invention that will revolutionize the way we exercise, send a prototype to me Danni first, then get some patenting advice. What? I am still working off the Turkey from Thanksgiving and need all the help I can get!

Now we're talking! I really do feel like we are in the 21st Century now! When are we going to get flying cars and hover boards?

The last commentator has asked really very nice question because how can we heard the voice without putting that on the years.  If the voice coming through the cheeks than definitely there should be some connection between MP3 and our brain. I don't know that it could be dangerous or not.

My MP3 player was either soaked in water or some water got into the thing... either way, I can (sometimes) still use it, but most of the time, unless I adjust its position and hold it, the sound is muffled and definitely sounds like the sound waves are going through water (singer sounds like he's/she's talking underwater...).

The technology is boosting now therefore such inventions are being done. Music through cheek bones it seems wonderful but we should not forget that there is always have two aspects of every thing one is good or other is bad.

Occasional Chairs

Nice idea, but I think many pools have built in under water speakers that does the same job on a bigger scale. I first encountered these at a hotel in Sri Lanka many years ago.

I guess that if you like sound imersion (no pun intended!) you'd probably like chairs with embedded stereo loudspeakers or even a bed built around integral sub-woofers. Yes both of these are available.
