Thoghts on the Finis Swimp3

I got one about two weeks ago and so far I love it. It has really transformed my swim workouts especially OWS. I used to get kind of bored in the lake like running with my eyes shut on a treadmill. The tempo from the music gives me better rhythm and drive.

The sound quality is good until I get water in my ears. Its still OK but not quite what I'd expect. It is very easy to download music on and the battery lasts a long time.

would it play better with earplugs to prevent water getting in your ear since it works through bone conduction?
