Finis releases Neptune bone conduction waterproof audio player

The new Finis Neptune waterproof audio player




Finis has significantly upgraded its SwiMP3 underwater audio player with the release of the Neptune waterproof audio player.


Everyone who tried it either rated it in their top three players, or bottom three players, though to be fair, eight testers rated it in their top three, while only two testers rated it in the bottom three – from more than 20 units, that's quite a compliment to the SwiMP3.
Accordingly, we expect the new three-piece Neptune design to be an improvement upon a unit which was already one of the best on the market.
Finis has a player in a courier on its way to us at present so we'll reserve judgement until we've tried it in the water, but there were a few relevant things we can reflect on so far.
Several of the testers we have used in the comparison shoot-out liked the SwiMP3 specifically because they didn't need to push anything into their ears.
Secondly, in our testing, once any of the players were in place with headset secured and working, verbal communication was impossible ... except with the SwiMP3, where conversations could be held even while the player was still playing.
This could be a significant factor if children are involved – "sorry mum, I didn't hear you."
We'll report more on the Neptune in the near future when we have had it in the pool.
