What mp3 player?

[Winchester1897]

Hey Guys.

I need a player that can take A LOT OF ABUSE and some head phones for running that won't wobble around or fall out. I don't know where to start, please help!

PS: Are there any mp3 players that will survie a trip in the washing machine? Thats how i lost my last one :-(

you're better off with a flash-based creative muvo of some sort. and nothing survives in a washing machine. maybe a discman.

Check out www.iriver.com. Good MP3 players with probably best sound quality out there. Very durable but I really don't think they would survive a washing machine.

So there arn't any sport ones that are very durable and waterproof?

If you need waterproof, you may want to look at Otterbox's cases for the iPod.

Are there any good head phones made for running?

I run with the Ipod shuffle + default headfones + the armband. Its on my arm so it never gets put through the wash or anything. I also bought the DLO action jacket (sports armband for shuffle) as apparently the apple armband dosent last too long, but as with so many things that just seems wrong.... mines lasted for half a year so far and its still going strong. I highly reccommend the shuffle with armband for activitys. Its kinda replaced my 4g 20gb too, much more conveniant.

1. Any flash based player will do (creative and iriver are best imo.) I have a creative muvo TX and love it.

2. I like the headphones that wrap around the ears. Similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000.../104-3170368-4270348?v=glance&n=172282

3. Get an armband! Running is so much more enjoyable now that I have one.
