Wireless Running Headphones

[Kirsty-Leigh]

Hey Guys!

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday weekend. So I just got my first iphone (I am a little excited about it ), so I am going to get rid of my ipod touch (which was difficult to run with) and I was thinking about getting an ipod shuffle to run with. But I have serious wire issues when I run. So I was looking up wireless headphones when I came across headphone mp3 players in one -I had no idea these things existed, and think they might be just the thing for me - but they have mixed reviews online, and don't want to waste my monies. Do any of you have any experience with either these or the wireless headphones with an ipod? I REALLY hate running with wires, but I love to run with music Help please

Thanks,

Kirsty

I know it's a little off topic, hopefully you don't mind me asking. What made running with an Ipod Touch difficult to run with? I was thinking of getting one within the next couple months.

That's okay. It was just so big - I had a running thingy to strap it too my arm, and it was difficult to place right and fell down often - if I had it too tight it pinched my arm. But that wasn't the main problem, I had most of the trouble with which way to put the wires; if they went up the back of my shirt they would fall out my ears; up the front and the wires would go everywhere; it was okay if I put it up the front and then tucked the rest in the arm band, but then if the armband moved it would pull them out my ears and I would have to stop and rearrange everything. It could just be me - I get really fussy about things not being in place when I run, but for me it was just to big for running. I also didn't want to take it out when it rained because I was afraid it would get damaged.

Now don't get me wrong the ipod touch is an incredible device, and I absolutely LOVE mine. For everything other than running it is the best thing ever invented, and if I wasn't getting an iphone I would not be getting rid of it and I would just put up with the annoyingness of running with it, but since I have no need for it I thought I would try and get something a little more running friendly.

Hope this helps
