Looking for a fitness type MP3/AM/FM headset!

**mustang331** · 08-03-2004, 11:08 AM

I have a pretty good small one right now, but would like to add my own music. What's out there that's pretty good, small lightweight and easy to use.. I am looking for a fitness type, not a hommy gee walking to the bus stop type..

Thanks!

get a new Mini I-pod, those things are hot.

a little too pricey. .I also would like something easier to use.. Kinda hard to change stations, and volume with that system..

The Ipod is for people that listen a lot while on the go and it also plugs into the car easy, but if you need something just for the gym then for half the price the one i have is the Philips/Nike MP3 player, it looks sporty, has an arm strap, and comes in 3 versions, a radio only, an MP3 with 64MB memory, and i'm not sure but the third one has 128MB memory and i think +radio. It works for me because i only use it at the gym and the remote is in the headphones wire you dont have to reach for your arm.

There are other cheaper/smaller models wich are more light weight but you have to put them in your pocket or cutomize a strap.

**mustang331** · 08-03-2004, 11:25 AM

why dont you go to radio shack or best buy for help instead of seeking it on a site called "anabolic review"

I would think since its for the GYM and this board is really all about that. People would be in the same boat I am in...

my "M-PIO" from best buy is awesome...small as hell and was super easy to figure out...and when i looked the other day the price had gone down to like 129.99 for the one with smaller memory and like 179.99 for the larger one...i think

You should have told me before i bought it that i was buying my ipod for the wrong purpose. **** i bought it for the gym. I am so dissapointed now with my purchase. I didnt know it was just for people on the go. Should I take it back?

I have this one and I love it. I spend a couple hours in the gym, so I had to get the larger memory one (256k). Like the armband that comes with it. Also got mine a Best Buy.

I have a Archos AV480 and Tapwave Zodiac (with 2x 1024 mb SD)...
It's not even fair to compare these to Ipods!
Seeing the Ipod will run crying home to his mama!
