NU Dolphin Waterproof 4GB MP3 Player from NU
The new NU Dolphin from New Universe Technologies is an MP3 player tailored for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts.

The earphone attaches to the player via a special screwin jack to keep the device watertight. Both the earphone and the player were tested to comply with IPx7 international water resistant standard.
