Twinbird’s MP3-loving Zabady costs ¥21,000 ($180) and can handle boring old audio CDs as well as disks burned with new-fangled MP3 and WMA files; just not the type with DRM slapped on. The most useful feature is a USB port inside the sealed case that allows the Zabady to play back tunes from a connected drive of up to 2GB.
IPX7 waterproofing means the player is not only splash-resistant, but can also survive immersion in 1m of water for up to half an hour, although we imagine you’d have trouble making much use of it in those circumstances.
The 900g player has an LCD for displaying track information from digital files and its rechargeable battery can outlast even the longest onsen soaks, as it’s good for about four hours of CD playback.

Why would you need a “underwater” mp3 player. I don’t get it.

I had one from Oceanic for reviews but most of the points after you get over the initial fun factor where quite disturbing and dangerous when SCUBA Diving especially when you are responsible for other peoples lives!

I think this thing is not that much popular… I would not listen to music while diving!
