This product works as advertised. The buttons are a little hard to push for aging fingers but otherwise we are very pleased with the product.

Bought new and used it about 5 times before it fried on me. Emailed Freestyle several times and got no response. Total rip off.......

The first one fizzled out after just a couple swims. The company replaced it within the warranty period. The second one died after 3 swim sessions.
The controls are confusing, the screen too small to read without a magnifying glass.

I was thrilled when I received my 1st Free Style Audio for Christmas 2007. That one was used twice in March 2008, and around 6 times early summer 2008 when it just wouldn't charge anymore. Even though it was out of warranty company offered to replace free of charge if I returned it since I only used it a few times. Good thing I sent UPS because Free Style Audio lost it, and only replaced it after I gave them the UPS tracking number to prove it was received by someone at FSA. Finally got replacement (new design) after weeks, and only got to use a few times before we closed our pool. Used 2nd unit a few times in March 2009 on vacation, this one started acting flakey at end of vacation difficult to turn on/off. Was able to use unit 2 a couple more times when we opened our pool in May 2008 before it failed completely taking on water. FSA said unit was out of warranty, but offered a new one for half price ($45+SH). Silly me I took the bait. Unit 3 arrived late June & I used it & it worked right about 5 or 6 times then started acting funny, I struggled with it thru July using it about 6 more times before I returned it for a replacement. Unit 4 worked once & then filled w/water, returned this one and received unit 5 which I charged one day, then when I went to load music the next day computer didn't recognize - this one never saw the water ! Finally I gave up and returned it for a refund.
In summary spent over $160 in purchases (including gift price & original Ship & Handling) plus $20 sending units back and got about 2 dozen good swimming laps w/tunes sessions. So if you want to spend $7.50 per use by all means go for it, otherwise save your money. FSA has agreed to refund my last purchase ($45), but will not refund any of my shipping charges so I guess that reduces the per use price down to $4.79 - still too much for me.

Considering it is a waterproof device, you have to accept some limitations. I use it for paddleboarding, so I don't submerge the device, nor do I wear the earplugs underwater. I have had it underwater (going thru a wave)for a few seconds. It continues to work. Ear plugs are fine. Sound is ok. Controls can be difficult, but that is because it's water tight, so what can you do. I have not had any trouble with it. It serves it's purpose.
