Sony DR-BT21IK/B - does it work well with outdoor (running/walking) activities? Does it stay on while running?

mine would do well with running or jostling the player, but as soon as you go outside it cuts out. Mine was almost unusable outside in most areas.

I haven't tried them out running, but for walking, they're fine so long as you keep the device within the specified range which is on an arm band. Hope this helps.

I've had no problem with the Bluetooth staying connected. Only problem I've had is the speaker volume is very low when connected with another helmet.

I haven't used m mine for running, but I have for some intense house cleaning. The band doesn't slip and it's pretty good at moisture wicking, although it does need to be washed regularly. Which is totally easy. The headphones come out and go in super easily. The headphones do travel a little in the pockets, but I'm not sure if that would be a problem running or not. They stay put while I'm sleeping, they travel when the headband is slack. Not the highest quality sound, but u get plenty for the money u spend. I've seen other brands sell these for over $100 with the same sound quality just because u can sleep in then. How this helps, good luck! I love my tooks, hopefully u will to o

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

Any will work, however they may not give you complete waterproof. I use Sony mj10 because I like it louder. I dont swim, just run in rain at times.

Well, the good thing is that you can raise the volume on both the device and on the source, so you can get a pretty good amount of sound. Ear plugs are probably a good idea, though. I often walk 7-9 miles on hot days,and it doesn't slip at all, so you're OK there.

Yes it does :) I use these earphones to jog and always have them working off of Pandora. Also works with exercise apps like Mapmyrun and you can hear when the app announces how many miles you have run and your pace.

I've used them in heavy rain and when I hit the gym for a couple hours and never experienced any issues. They stay in place and don't get slippery. The sound quality seems pretty consistent, the more expensive models mostly add volume and soundtrack control. I think there is a mic but I've never explored that.

This week I've ran 4 times with it, total of about 10 miles and no issue so far. Nice sound, doesn't fall out of my ear, and the back does not bounce around. Actually don't even notice it. I highly recommend it. - Track coach

Did not use it for running ,I used it during fishing and it goes on my belt loop.The shuffle feature worked fine even when I had to cross the lake in ruff water.

Its too heavy for running or active working out. It has leather like ear pad so it won't feel good when you sweat. Its audio jack is kind thick for working out. It will bother you.

I use my own ear phones. I switch between ear buds and sony head phones. I have also simply plugged in a mini speaker when on a treadmill. The included headphones have the "button" to interrupt the music and get info, but my mini speaker and wireless headphones do too.

I purchased the bluetooth for my son he uses it daily,especially when he plays basket ball,so he sweats alot.It still works great.Im sure it will work just as good in the rain.

While it does when bluetooth is left on (it takes about 30 seconds for this to work) I do not leave my bluetooth on when away from my car. It wastes the battery. I recommend going into bluetooth settings during the walk to the car to connect as soon as your phone finds the MPOW.

Hey = so I found the fitbit a little more responsive during exercise. But the UP 24 will continue to update (just not as quite as real time). With running - depending on your speed the Up24 should recognize your your activity as running. I have to manually put in when I am hiking though.

It is longer than I would like, but I always run the cord down behind me instead of in front so it's not a problem for running. I clip a ipod shuffle to the hem of my shirt on the left side and go. No problem. I never use headphones for weight workouts, so I don't know if I'd have the same experience then.
