I've seen (er, heard) this before

Almost certainly the GND conection in the earphone jack is loosen or not soldered well. That makes the sound weird, like listening trough a Mario-bros pipe, or underwater like you say.

And this confirms your problem. You simply hit the jackpot on a not well assembled unit lol... if you can, open it and see the soldering of the earphone jack, maybe the GND pad is broken or bad soldered (it's the one colsest to the board edge).
OR, chances are that your earphone's jack (and the one that came with the player) doesn't insert fully into the player, and does not make good contact at all... also seen this before too.
