Is the 'voice' clear/concise & do you have to hold it up to your ear to hear it?..... and is it waterproof?

If you turn up the sound you do not have to put it up to your ear to hear it. I wear mine on a wrist band so do not need the sound. I don't know if it is waterproof. ask the manufacturer. I really like mine.

The voice is very clear and has a volume control Button. As for waterproof I would have to say yes unless you drop it into water. I wear mine as a watch and hear it fine without raising my arm to my ear,

Yes the voice is clear and I have no problem hearing it! You can adjust the volume from mute to loud. Those close by can hear it if it's on loudest setting! Yes seems to be waterproof, but I don't swim or shower with it on :-)

Yes the voice is clear and concise (there is also a volume control). You can hear it whether it is clipped on your visor, worn on your wrist or waistband. I don't know if it's waterproof.

It is too loud on your wrist if you have the volume turned all the way up. The voice is very clear.

Voice is clear but, volume could be higher. What helps is to clip it to the brim of my cap or hat.

Normally you can hear someone talking, but it's hard to understand what she saying unless you put it up to your ear. As to the waterproof question, I've never had it in water and I don't plan on testing it.

I have no troiuble whatsoever, hering the devise. it is clear and concise. Since I do not wear it in the water, nor do I play on the rain, I have no idea whether or not it is waterproof

I don't know if it is waterproof or not, but the voice is clear and concise.

It is not an underwater speaker ! It is rather a durable weather resistant speaker that is very good so far!

Haven't tried the mp3 aspect of it, but as far as the radio goes, the radio frequency gets interrupted by the water. If you go more than 1-2 feet below the water surface, the radio picks up a ton of static; any lower and you'll just get pure static. Also, a lot of times the ear buds aren't the best suited for blocking out water (yes, I know it's what they're supposed to do), and if there is any water leakage from the pressure of diving underwater, then your sound will be diminished significantly (as in, the sound coming through the ear buds will be muffled due to the water). Gets pretty annoying when only one ear bud leaks though since the sounds is clear on one ear, and muffled on the other lol.

It comes with a headphone adapter and it is waterproof. I must admit though that I have bit tested the case underwater WITH the headphone adapter in use.

Yes, it's quite a good waterproof mp3 player. The ear phone that comes with it is quite uncomfortable but generally I would suggest it. Have fun!

I think it has a pretty clear sound. I didn't detect much background noise, if any.

It actually works best for underwater swimming. When ears are out of the water, you can hardly hear the music. You hear it loud and clear when underwater. Warning, though, I would not buy this again because of other issues.

That was my main concern but it is very good on the sound. Clear and not where you have to sit and wonder what it said. Also there is a volume switch to adjust the level.

Haven't had a problem with muffled sound. It certainly could be louder when I am playing music but I think that is normal. I talk on it in the car on speaker or with the ear buds. The ear buds only work with the "white" kind that came with it. The plug hole is too small for the fatter other kinds of corded ear buds. Also, you have to leave the sound port cap out most of the time for ease of use which makes the water proof part of it not work.

If you're asking with my headphones on, yes. It still sounds great and works without any problems with the hands free phones. If you're asking without headphones, I haven't tried. The face and back are covered, so I assume it would sound muffled.

I had a head set that I would wear when driving. Now it is as simple as saying "answer". Sound quality on my end is like a speaker phone on the other end is similar to blue tooth. It has two microphones with noise cancelation so that is nice. even today I was walking into the FedEx store carrying my huge parcel and I got a phone call I was able to answer it and let them know I'll call them back pretty seamlessly without dropping my parcel that weighed 21 pounds. I hope that helps.

Yes, the only issue is that the earphone hole is open. I have an 18 month old grandson that plays with this constantly. He has had no issues with it, but it is not water proof by any means.

I use a bluetooth headset but would think if your phone had a good speaker you would be able to hear the music. Just as an FYI. The top is waterproof. The bottom of the holder is not waterproof so you have to be carefull about your front tire throwing water up or being behind somebody and catching spray from their tires.

I never used mine in water. It made my voice sound like I was in a tunnel. It was very hard to put on and take off. I threw it in the trash. Don't waste your money.

I've only had mine about two weeks, but I have not heard a voice even once. My only annoyance is that it automatically turns itself off at random times and the battery life is only a few minutes.

Mine is very waterproof, as I swim with mine. Reception is not fabulous but could get quite a few stations.

No it's just a Bluetooth headset, it does not work underwater but is water proof, and they're comfortable but not not extravagantly.
