This is really cool. This new mp3 player uses bone conduction for the transportation of sound waves to your ear while you are underwater. This new technology is still in its infancy, but is already showing some very promising results. When you combine this unique technology with a fully waterproof mp3 device, you get the Finis SwiMP3 ($199).

Bone conduction hearing is essentially an ancient sensory capability that the new SwiMP3 leverages to enhance the experience of swimmers, triathletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers and anyone involved in general water activities. It is a safe, proven technology that the SwiMP3 offers to the wide audience of aquatic athletes.

Imagine listening to The Life Aquatic soundtrack while snorkeling, scuba diving or shark hunting! That would be truly surreal.
