    Back in the pool! My old finis Neptune eventually fell apart from heavy use.
    Thought about buying it's upgrade the finis duo but decided to test out a much cheaper induction headset the tayogo 8gb.
    It's working great, but only two swims in, so it's early days yet!

    Eventually the Tayogo failed after charging it too long,and my Garmin Swim also finally gave up the ghost too.
    So currently rocking another cheap bone conduction waterproof player and a Garmin 920 xt

    The bone conductors do not last long. My first Finis, (Yellow Jacket), lasted about nine months. The second one only lasted 90 days. My best luck has been Apple iPod, waterproof (after market). It still strong after 6 years. I like Swim Buds by Underwater Audio. The black ones, middle grade, (thicker wire), not the most expensive, but they last longer than the high end white ones. I swim, 4-5 days a week. Use the Christmas tree shaped rubber buds with Fit Goo. Do not roll your bud wires up, mostly keep them flat. I have found rolling up the wires decreases the life of the wire. I keep mine in a pencil box.
