Headphones/music player for swimming - recommendations?

[devildeepbluesea]

I’m a keen exerciser but have a totally buggered foot right now. I need bunion surgery with increasing urgency, but of course that could take a while.
I’m thinking swimming could be an option for exercise with no impact on my foot but by god it’s boring! So I’m on the lookout for some headphones with built in memory which I can use whilst swimming. TIA for any recommendations. Don’t want to break the bank, but open to suggestions. Wouldn’t need a huge memory.

DS had some bone conducting ones but they weren’t particularly cheap.

Try these on Amazon. 30% off if you buy before tomorrow. Works out as around £40.

I'm in the same boat, foot injury, minimal walking and no running, find swimming boring. How do you load music or podcasts or whatever onto the mp3 ones, do they work if out of bluetooth range of your phone?

recent thread with lots of info on

I have Amazon music subscription, just downloaded some albums, found the Amazon folder on my computer, copy and pasted into the MP3 folder after I'd plugged the headphones in using the usb cable.

I have used the headphones with Bluetooth before, kept my phone in my bag pocket hung on a hook by the side of the pool. It was a bit crap because it cut out every time the headphones went under water, so I really recommend using the mo3 feature and having content downloaded onto the headphones.

Thanks for the links / suggestions!
