In regards to swimming I received this answer from the company: "I am sorry but, as a stated in the manual of the product, XR500 are suitable (water resistance rating is ipx7) for splashing, rain or snow, showering, accidental exposure to water of up to 3 feet for up to 30 minutes. And unsuitable for swimming, diving into water, snorkeling or scuba diving, high-speed watersports."
So unfortunately, this wont be your swimming music solution friends :(
TheNonWutrue. But they called the samsung galaxy 5 waterproof, and my friend's got waterlogged after being in the water for 10 minutes. You can never believe something is waterproof.
