Can you listen to your iphone (ie have headphones coming out of the belt) while running with this belt or is it only for phone storage?

Yes, I just don't zip it completely closed. I leave a very small opening for the cord to my ear buds.

There isn't a specific hole for the headphone cord. However, you can run the cord through the zipper.

I have an iphone 5 in sn otterbox and was able to hook up and run my headphones up through the back of my shirt easily. Worked quite well.

I listen to music while I run. The cord to my earphones plugs into my android phone. There are two zippers. The cord simply passes through a small opening at the end of the zipper.
4121
I do it every time I run. The cord comes out just at the end of the zipper. Works great

Yes, I listened to my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3) during my half training runs as well as a half marathon. No problems.

The device does not have a headphone jack, it operates only through blue tooth access and yes, you could still play and stream music from your iPhone at the same time it is being used. It is a great low priced device and very functional!

Not very well, no. If you keep trying, you can manage. But it's definitely easier to just take it out of the armband and choose what you want to listen to before you put it back in again.

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.

I use my i phone on my aux circuit in my car. This allows me to connect my phone into my system. I have a basic system in a 2012 car. My steering wheel controls are not affected, volume and mode search all work, however I still have to use my speaker setting on my phone to make phone calls. I can play music through my system with the cord and when I get a text while it's connected the volume dims automatically to get my attention, nice! My music pauses while I'm talking and resumes when I hang up. I love my Cosmos cord and for the cost, how can you not try it out?

I unclip from my belt to answer. Phone goes in and out easily and I can hear it ring. Yes on both.

I plug it into the receiver of my entertainment system and then I can use my iPhone to play music through that system via Bluetooth. So that my iPhone does not need to be physically plugged into the receiver via an aux. cord. So I can answer text messages and use my phone while still hearing music.

In back there is a mini-USB jack (not micro) only. There is no audio-out. One option:I occasionally use it when playing via Bluetooth to a Bose Soundlink II. It holds either my iPhone or Ipad without tipping over and sound quality over BT is pretty darn good.

I would bet yes. The belt is made of a stretchy spandex-like material. I am able to keep my iPhone 5, my wallet, and my keys with the fob in the Spi-Belt when I run. I find this product to be incredibly useful, and I would recommend it to any runners.

Didn't really try that out. I only used plug in headphones and then bluetooth headphones. The case is designed to protect your phone while you are riding, so based on that I do not think that you would be able to use the built in speaker, or the sounds would be muted. However, I just tried it out and it worked. I had to turn the volume up high, but I was able to listen to the built in speaker while in the case. Please note that I could not adjust the volume while it was in the case. But to answer your question, yes, you can listen to music with the built in speaker while the phone is inside the case.

Yes. I take it out all the time to out in my arm band for running. Phone just pops in the case. No taking it apart.

Unfortunately, I have only used my headphones on my iphone and ipod. However, I will say that I have had that happen to me if the plug closest to the headphones is not all the way in.

Yes the headphone jack is accessible while in the armband, but changing the volume settings and the music settings is difficult, according to my boyfriend. I suggest using headphones that have the button settings on the cord when you want to use the armband while working out.

I have had mine for a while now and have experienced problems a few times. I've found that if I wear my iPhone on my right arm while running they work better than if my phone is anywhere else.

That is an overstatement. I do run with mine in a pocket that is in the back of my running shorts, and it works OK. It drops out if I bend over or the battery is low, but it otherwise holds a signal. The manual does advise wearing on the front/right side of the body, and my rear-pocket appears to be right at the limit of where the blue tooth will connect. I also noted that there appears to be some additional interference from my Garmin GPS watch, so I have fewer issues when I'm on a treadmill indoors. But it is an overstatement to say that it ONLY works when using an arm band.

The older freedoms would drop all the time. When I walk to work I keep my iphone5 in my back L pocket and it stays connected, except for the occasional hiccup where it drops for a split second then keeps playing. When I run I use an armband or carry it in my hand and no prob. Inside it works all around the gym.

Hi R: No, but I put it in my pocket anyway (it is very light and small). I would suggest you to use in-ear headphones, though.
