Sony’s Waterproof Walkman can let you enjoy music while swimming

CES 2013 — You enjoy music while driving, cycling, riding and even during workouts, but how about while swimming ? Certainly there has been very less innovation on this particular aspect, but probably a waterproof music player might be a good idea. Well, we saw one such product in CES 2013, which was unveiled by Sony – A Waterproof Walkman can let you listen to music while swimming.

The product with the name NZW-W270, is an 4GB music player embedded inside a pair of earphones and the ear units are connected by a cable, with controls like power, track selection on right, playlist selection and volume control on the left. It comes with an extra tether that can help you tighten the ear phones close to your ear while you are swimming.

How about hearing a music with a loud volume while swimming?

Probably that’s a bad idea. To be cautioned, it is not safe to hear music while swimming. Sony’s NZW-W270 doesn’t loud much while you are submerged in the water, even with a high volume. But it sounds big when you come out of the water.

Music Controls

It comes with a simple click power button, playlist selection button – lets you select different playlists, but it should have been synced with Sony’s software on windows. The Volume control located on the left ear phone and track selection button on the right ear phone.

What’s the price?

Sony’s Waterproof Walkman costs  $99.9 and it comes in black, white, blue and pink colors.
