MP3 player for jogging/running/sports

[Siobhan Halo]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a small mp3 player for running with, I have headband earphones with bluetooth for listening but phones are getting too big to lug around while running and I'd rather not drop my phone while running or biking. Amazon has a few of the AGPTEK brand ones with mixed reviews.

I bought this little AGPTEK one, so far so good, it's tiny, light, BTed to my headphones, and plays music.

if you're talking about the mp3 player, the one that will always come to my mind is this Sony Walkman

however, idk if they ever release a BT version of this. it'll definitely do wonder if they did that

as for headphones, my eyes caught on the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) bone conduction earphone. the one that doesn't require you to plug the buds in your ear

it's good imo as we're not risking ourselves by not hearing what goes around, but at the same time still getting decent quality music playing by our ears. i've seen my dad been using it but i never tried myself.

Thanks for that, I like that style of headphone and must admit I have never noticed them before, I have headband style headphones now that are ok in cool weather but will quickly get too hot in summer.

it's not a popular fashion, and the quality/performance of that kind of earphone aren't widely recognised. but I do come across people into music who preferred them so ig it's hit or miss? but I love the fact that we don't have to plug our ears to listen to the music.

if you're talking about Sony Walkman then yes I can confirm that too. although I don't have one now, I did used quite awful lot before. but yeah, I'll be drooling mess if they come up with BT version
