Howdy Youtube and welcome to B4UBuyReviews.nnToday I will be reviewing the new Sony NWZ-W273, Walkman Sports MP3 Player, yes - the waterproof headphones that you can wear while swimming. I am so stoked about this video because this is such a fun product. I love swimming, used to compete and still enjoy laps at the pool. Never before did I really put much thought into waterproof headphones. Boy, was I missing out!nnThe Sony Waterproof Sports Walkman is a 4GB MP3 player with built-in rechargeable battery. They come with 4 different size ear pieces for best fit. They also come with a charger/docking unit that connects to your PC via USB. They work with both Windows systems, XP SP3 or later as well as OS X 10.6 or later. When you connect via USB, you can access the software that comes pre-loaded on the headset. With OS X, you drag and drop the MP3 files over from iTunes to your Finder window, into a MUSIC directory on the device. if you buy your music from iTunes, like I do, here's a tip: to bypass copyright with songs you've purchased, I simply right click on the songs you want, then convert them from their original format (typically m4a) over to Mp3. and PRESTO!, the DRM doesn't follow! nnWhen you use them in water, make sure you have a really tight fit around your ears. If you get the ear pieces wet - it can really muffle and dull the sound. Simply shake them about a bit in the air or use a towel and get the water out and the sound will no longer be muffled. Best to have them fit securely in your airs, nice and tight, then you should be fine. nnI had such a great swim, listening to my music and just enjoying being in the water. They have a shuffle button, power, lock, back and forward and play / pause. All controllable with a touch of a button. If you swim a lot, in a local pool, your back yard, ocean or bathtub. These headphones will surely enhance your fun in the water. Thanks for watching! Less
