A BRITISH student has invented a revolutionary underwater MP3 player called Soundwaves - that can play your favourite tunes beneath the sea or at the pool.

Showcased at this year's Design Show at Brunel University, the underwater aid picked up an AOL Broadband Innovator Award and Sam James, who is based in Cardiff, is set to become the next Welsh design success story.

Soundwaves uses advanced "bone conduction" technology, which when placed on both temples allows sound to be heard "inside the user's head" in all conditions, including when fully immersed.

This allows users to listen to music with unrivalled clarity. Vibrations from the MP3 device are passed safely through the skull to the inner ear, completely bypassing the outer ear.

Simply clicking the stylish MP3 device onto a set of swimming goggles, Soundwaves, which was created in conjunction with a commercial firm called Newlands Scientific, will contain at least 128Mb of memory, providing swimmers with several hours worth of underwater music entertainment.
