A first for the sports world, the VR1 Programmable Personal Trainer Headphones are a water resistant, wire free, lightweight and super comfortable new training aid. They provide the user with both high quality music and the luxury of having their own personal trainer to customise any workout for any activity, including swimming.

The Inventor, Duncan Walsh was over 40 British Open Squash Champion and a fitness fanatic. His goal was to create a genuinely innovative new training aid, to help inspire others to be as good as they could be.

The Programmable Personal Trainer facility allows the user to customise any workout with instruction, time notifications and motivational messages in their own words. This is done using the simple and free software downloaded from the FX-Sport website. Alternatively, download great pre-prepared workouts from the FX-Sport “WORKOUT STORE” and upload directly onto the headphones. All sessions are verified by nationally certified personal trainers. Weight training, interval bike sessions, fartlek running, circuits, etc can all be downloaded for free and saved on the software. This provides a library of training sessions for speedy uploading in the future.

Fantastic quality music is produced by the integrated 8GB mp3 player which uses text to speech software to read and voice album names or playlists to the user, using the buttons on the right headphone. This way there is no need for a screen which can be impractical whilst training and no need to carry a secondary unit.

The mp3 player is compatible with mp3, wma and aac [m4a] formats. Bass and treble settings can also be customised via the software.

All unique functionality still applies for swimming using the FX-Sport silicone skin accessory and swim cap [bought separately] to make the VR1 fully waterproof. This methodology allows great quality music [and training messages] to be heard consistently even with vigorous swimming and over time.

The product is Patent Pending.

the only mp3 player that really works when swimming! i use my mp3 player for listening to podcasts and audiobooks in english while running and swimming (trying to improve that language, without much success, as u’ll have chance to check along my review)… so, i need that the sound quality of the headphones is really good, and that’s not easy to get when u are swimming, as u probably already know.a couple of months ago, i bought the (supposedly) waterproof sony walkman mp3 player for (supposedly) swimming… but after just 5 minutes swimming with it, i couldn’t hear a word, and i inmediately decided to return it…one week later, i bought the waterfi waterproof ipod, which lasted twice as long working well: exactly 10 minutes… after that time, the right earbud stopped working… but that wasn’t the only problem: every time that any of the earbuds moved inside my ear, or every time that water came inside my ear or inside the earbuds, the sound was almost imperceptible. and that happened EVERY TIME i used them. swimming with…

Not just for sports! My wife was looking for wireless headphones so that she could easily take her music with her everywhere. The choice was between Bluetooth, or something with its own storage.As Bluetooth would have meant carrying around an extra device, we decided to go for headphones with built-in storage and after reading the reviews, we chose these.Despite them clearly being aimed at the sports market, there is nothing to stop them being your choice of headphones for any purpose and my wife is delighted with just being able to walk around the house, or sit in the local coffee shop, with her own choice of music and listen in total privacy.Sound quality is great and doesn’t leak out to the person sitting next to you. The controls are built in to the right earpiece and are simple, but comprehensive enough to include playlists and shuffle and the 8GB capacity is more than enough.These are on-ear headphones and easy to adjust to get comfortable without the risk of them becoming…
