If you’re one of the multitude of Australians who owns an Apple iPod, then news of the range of products from H20 Audio is likely to be music to your ears.

The manufacturer produces an effective and affordable range of waterproof cases and headphones for the different iPod families, as well as some MP3 players. A brand new addition to the series is the H20 Audio iS2, also known as the waterproof casing for the 2nd Generation iPod shuffle (that’s the tiny iPod that clips onto your clothes).

The iS2 not only protects your iPod shuffle from random splashes while you’re lying on the beach, it actually allows you to take your player into the water. It’s waterproof at up to three metres, so you can take it surfing, swimming or on other watersports with you.

It comes with a control pad on the outside of the case so you can control the iPod while it’s locked away and an armband is included.

If you have a different variety of iPod, check out the H2O Audio website to see if there’s a product for you.
