I've never tried to put it behind the ears, but it's meant to vibrate the music in through the bones further forward on your head so I'm not sure that would necessarily work right. I've had mixed successes with underwater music. My first player (in like the mid 90's) was most definitely an epic fail. Much later on, my H20 Audio case was functional but not perfect. The Finis SwiMP3 has been very good to me although I haven't used it much recently. With some goggles I do have to adjust the strap to get everything to fit right.

Would the swimp3 work if you put it under the strap behind your ears? Did you try it that way? I really want one of these, and my first foray into music and swimming was an 'epic fail' (as my teens would say). I'll be putting on the yardage soon getting ready for a 10K sometime next year, so music certainly would help. Cheers, Mike Rob,

When I get some more time I'll have to do a screen cap file conversion tutorial to help people figure it out.
