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

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.)

Is is easy to use headphone with this armband. The headphones either fit through the hole in the top lip that goes over the phone or can be connected just under the top lip of the neoprene material that goes over the top of the phone, depending on the style of phone connector with the headphones. I have always used headphone without any problem and also there is also a little flap where you can bundle up any excess phone cord so that you don't have it swinging around while working out.

Absolutely perfect for the gym. This does not require the phone to function. It is a great little mp3 player and comes with descent headphones. I use it at the gym and it is perfect. If you are familiar with the ipod nano I would compare it to the same. I was impressed with this mp3 player and you can't beat the price.

Christine, not sure if you already bought this or not, but just a heads up. I ordered the 6 pc combo pack they advertise with this, and the MP3 player does not fit in it! I had to go back and order a Geebee armband, and it is rather bulky. It is also hard to get on, and put the headphones into the slot. Once it is on, it is not easy to access the controls. To make a long story short...good question by you! I am planning on using it for running too, and I may have to buy some shorts with pockets to carry the darn thing! It is a good device, but I don't know exactly how I am going to carry it either!

Yes. I feel like this case is very poorly made and the armband is just a generic band you can find at any sport equipment store. I don't use this case anymore. I just use the clip the MP3 came with when I'm at the gym.

Did anyone ever figure out which armband is the closest fit for this MP3 player?

Should be fully functional u may have to put your phone in upside down?Can text thru the plastic screen like it's not even their. For $2 bucks the arm band is worth it. Although you might not need it? It's a great case for working out with.

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.

Any MP3 player is going to work! It is just a speaker that you plug it in to! like if you had wanted to plug your head phones in to your MP3 player, all head phones are going to fit any player. (well most, you know what I mean) Not like the huge ones that were made in the 70's.

I can't figure that out either! It would have been nice that they would include some instructions, huh? I think that part of the problem is that my computer is not compatible with this brand of MP3 player, so when I connect it up, nothing happens. :/ I haven't sent it back to Amazon, yet, though because it is always a pain to return stuff and I'm stubborn and still believe there's a way to get this thing to work! :)

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.

Honestly, I don't recall, but it is so light that it hasn't fallen out of my shirt pocket yet and if it did, it would just hang from the earphone cord without pulling the buds out of your ear, or you can just roll it up into your sleeve a la 50's style greaser with cigs, or put it in a pant pocket with the button lock on .. you could strap it to your arm with a light piece of elastic while jogging or biking .. it's very very light

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.

There is a USB. You kind of have to bend it to open it. I'm sure you can use any downloadable MP3 converter to put music in it. I haven't actually done it myself yet because I don't use it that often. I hope this helps! [:

It's not advice able to buy is you use for physical fitness, one is because the designed is for regular movement like walk while waiting for someone, long trip ect. not for shack and shaking like running which create bumps. Sweat is another because foam earring absorbed moist or sweat it will destroy your gadget. Don't get me wrong this gadget is good for ordinary use only, trip or you want to listen music at night.

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.
