Introduction

Waterproof to 10 feet, shock resistant, and lightweight, the Freestyle Audio 512 gets points for awesome battery life and for tapping into an important and cash-heavy niche market. Let's find out if the $90 USD MP3 player rises to the occasion or if it'll sink like a brick.

"Save your money"

My wife had one of these. She only used it in the pool for water aerobics. When it worked, sound quality was poor & the interface was awkward & temperamental. It would repeatedly get wet inside. We dried it out in front of a fan and it worked again. But, it didn't last 6 months before it totally died. Since it was out of it's short warranty anyway, I took it apart. It was completely corroded inside. And, it looked like the battery had leaked from being shorted by water. I'd never buy another one.

"No quality"

There is no quality on this mp3. When it arrived, just looking on it's structure and headphone you can have a bad impression. After 4 or 5 times used, it stopped working. No sound at all in or out of the watter. Waste of money, but maybe the problem is that I used it out of the water!!!!
