I have never used an MP3 before & want one for the gym. Will this be compatible with some sort of armband to hold it on? Something else? Thanks!

It has a clip on the back of the player. The clip can be attached to a waist band though it is not the ideal spot if you are running. I keep it in my shorts pocket when I run.

There was a clip with it that you can attach it to clothing or put it in a pocket. I would say probably.

It comes with a clip ago you can clip out to your waistband, but it's so slim and light, I don't use the clip and just pop it in my pocket. When I work out, I rarely change songs since I have Playlist I make for running, lifting etc.

Yes. I put this player in an armband when I go running. (I think most armbands would have more than enough space to accommodate this player.)

The MP3 has a small clip on the back that you can use to clip on the side of a pocket or somewhere else. Not aware of an armband for it.

Good question. I've only used it for music to get me motivated during my gym workouts, but have yet to get to the gym :-) Still, the sound quality is amazing and it's comfortable to wear. I would recommend it highly.

I'm very sorry to be just seeing your question now! I think that with all of the holiday promotion emails I just ignored it when I saw that it was from Amazon! I am also sorry to say that I cannot recall all of its compatibilities. I believe it had a cord that made it compatible with any mp3 player but just through audio so you could sing along with your favorite music. My daughter had been a little young for all of it's capabilities because she couldn't read at the time that we got it! Time to pull it out again! Thank you for the reminder! We really did enjoy it!

You may be able to find an arm band that will hold this radio but it is a little bigger than your typical arm band radio and you may not be satisfied. If you intend to use it at the gym, you would probably be better off buying an arm band radio - Sony, Coby or something similar. You may have to decide between performance and size.

This was one thing I wanted to know as well, thinking of getting a wireless and do 1 ear when I go biking. I thought of the idea of a paper clip to clip the line to the neck of the shirt. Maybe they added a clip feature in next model. Still thinking hard if I should get this.

Good product. I used it to record audiobooks so can not speak to MP3 music. Works good with WMA files. Sorry - believe it comes with earphones, etc.; some accessories for sure. No arm band - Wal Mart has most products.

The jack that connects to your device is pretty short (and the battery pack is close to the jack) so you just hold it behind your phone or MP3 player. It is not obtrusive or a problem, as the battery pack is light and thin.

Like the other answer said it is pretty weird when it comes to iTunes..But yes it will hook up :)and the screen is probably 2" maybe a little smaller...it is a very good sized screen. But I dont know if I would recommend it for working out...the buttons are REALLY sensitive...and if you turn it off, even just pushing a button will turn it back on...even if it is on lock...so if you turn it off you may accidentally turn it back on while you are running or whatever..and drain the battery. I have done that many times..which is why I switched to a different MP3

My suggestion for the easiest fix would be velcro.........can glue a pieced to back of MP3 player then on armband or whatever you attach it to........should work unless you play rough when it is attached to you.........

I also workout with the 30GB ipod, and I never had any problem. I also use the eVo3, it has a clip and protect the ipod very well. Just bought the same combination as gift.

It's not over the head style. It's over the ear. And, as you can see from its picture, is not stereo. For me, the device stays snugly on my ear even when I bike. I have run with it on over short distances and it doesn't come loose or fall out. It's light enough and snug enough that I think it will be okay for a gym workout although I can't really say how it would hold up for an aerobics or dance class or any activity that requires jumping or acrobatic moves.

No music on hold that is worth using. Best to use your own music source via a mini jack. I used an iPod. Cordless units including headsets are available that are compatible to the system.

No. I use an armband with a piece of elastic on it. I'm pretty sure it's the one they sell for the small square Apple Shuffle. Just some info ... I've been through at least 4 Apple Shuffles. None lasted more than a year ... a couple about 6 months. The Sony is going strong at 3 years.

Did you ever find an answer to your running and podast proble,? I also have the same problem. Can't find anything small enough to run with but can still carry my podcasts.

It's small and lightweight. I use it with my iPhone and usually put them both in my shirt pocket. But it will be unobtrusive if you just keep it alongside the music source wherever that might be. I have, on occasion used the iPhone, a relatively small iPhone auxiliary battery pack and the headphone battery pack all together either in my pant or shirt pocket. For ladies, a handbag, small carry case, or armband would also work. It's really not a problem.

This arm band is open at the top. It isn't hard to get the phone in or out when it is loose. Strapping it to your arm puts enough tension on it to keep it secure. My wife's phone has the headphone jack on top so I knew there wouldn't be any issue connecting her headphones. If yours is on the bottom, there are three small holes on the bottom that may or may not line up with the jack. The material on the bottom is stretchy so it probably will, but I couldn't say for sure.

This is not suitable for gym because it drops quickly while running. S2 is made by metal so it is heavy to carry. For gym, you should prefer in ears like having extra plastic holder. Bose is good for gym and some sennheiser models are also OK
