Product Description
We are often asked what makes our iPods the best. Unlike other waterproofing processes, we completely encapsulate all of the electronic components in sealant. The inside of our shuffles are entirely filled with sealant resulting in no voids or empty air spaces. Because of this difference, there is no way for water to access the electrical components. So when people say our waterproofing is “solid”, it’s not just a figure of speech.

UPDATE: Audio Flood called me a few weeks after my purchase and cleared up the headphone issue over the phone. I was told using the "Christmas tree style" ear plugs were ideal and they were spot on. I pop the headphones and swim for about 45 minutes until my ears start to get a little sore. That's right, you heard me, I get in the pool and swim non stop for about 45 minutes... everyday. This is compared to the fifteen minute grind I used to do every other day before this purchase. Each time I swim with my Audio Flood iPod Shuffle is like the best swim I have ever had. I Also, emailed them to ask about storage and usage temperatures (more specifically for a sauna) and received a reply within 10 minutes with my answer as well as some additional upkeep and storage information.
I will keep this post updated as my usage continues. I will say is that I am swimming close to twice as far and enjoying it even more with music in my ear. I have had this iPod for about a week and may have figured out some of the other complaints about this product, however, I will address those later. Overall, my satisfaction is a solid five stars.
The functionality of the iPod shuffle has not changed due to the waterproofing and works great like other apple products. So, essentially, what I wanted is perfect and has, to this point, withstood sauna temperatures as well.
The biggest issue with most consumers seems to be the headphones and it is understandable since there is only one or two other pairs available on Amazon. The headphones that come with it are obviously not a top tier quality but I don't need the precision of Bose while I am swimming. I may look in to finding a new pair for convenience though. Overall, I found that if water gets in between your ear drum and headphones then it can muffle sound making it appear as if it has cut out or has fallen out. So make sure the plugs in your ears fit or buy replacement ones. A different strategy is to purposely fill that gap with water and crank the volume up. It sounds a bit different, but still sounds good and works. The iPod comes with a headphone extension that did completely wipe one ear from working but I don't use it and don't care.
Overall, fantastic item. I will update in a few months.
P.S. You should find or make some better headphones and sell them on Amazon. Yes you, start a business.
OCT 14 Re-review - HOLD FRIGGIN EVERYTHING! MIRACLE! I got in touch with Audio Flood and their customer services Jedi, Heather. She gave me a game changing tip so simple I would have scoffed at her if we were on the phone. She recommended a touch of Vaseline on the tip of the tree bud. She said it would allow the bud go deeper into the ear and seal out H2O. Yeah, buddy it sure does! Hallelujah! After a two mile swim in rough ocean conditions I have experienced a 180 flip in product satisfaction. No more head full of water. FULL SEAL! . Not decent but excellent, clear Ramones. Hi fidelity, Old Crow Medicine, Stamina inducing, Stones. Why o why didn't you guys put that in your YouTube video or instructions? AudioFlood owes me ten push ups. Wow, does this thing help the swim!
* Do me one favor, iPod strokers - People who dig this Shuffle, please write to Apple to complain about the thoughtless lack of a simple snap-lock for that perfectly usable hard plastic storage cube the Shuffle comes in. (this is not AudioFlood's dealio) It's going to be around for a couple hundred years and if you don't want to tape it shut every time, it's straight to the trash. Beyond dumb. What would it cost Apple to modify it? 1/1000 of a penny?They get enough flack about dumping stuff into the environment. That one just makes zero sense.
PS -- Heads up if you use this tip. The Vaseline is going to eventually get on the other end of the bud and if you are not careful that will make them slip off the post quite a bit more easily.

Even the fishies are stoked.
