I have a water proof Ipod shuffle and use Phillips sport headphones and stuff the cables into my shirt. That way I do not have to worry about sweat or rain destroying the ipod.

I use my phone and the headphones that came with it

iPod Nano 6th gen (have to buy on eBay now) - the one inch by one inch model with the touch screen and clip

Sony $5 headphones:
http://www.bestbuy.com/...amp;skuId=1304791182

I used a Sansa Clip paired with Yur Buds. The Clip holds a ton of music, podcasts and books. You can even put a memory card in it to expand. It clips onto shorts and you don't notice it is there. The Yurbuds cord is Kevlar so it holds up to the abuse.

Same iPod (PERFECT for running!) but I use Monster iSport headphones. Had the same pair for 3-4 years now, and after probably 500 runs and bikes, are still working nicely.

iPod nano and heir audio quad driver iems for portable.

iTunes, nuforce udac2, and cheap pair of superficial 50mm open headphones. <- these things kick ass. Dirt cheap, sound great, and have held up to all the sweat I can pour on them for years.

Samsung Galaxy S5 streaming from Google Play or spotify, with Jaybird Bluebuds X2 headphones (the latter appearing as a gift after I'd been complaining about headphone cables for too long, apparently).

Cheers!

I must have the most oddly shaped ears because I have never found ear buds that don't constantly fall out. And I've tried a bunch.

For player +1 on the sansa clip. My current one has gone through the washer three times and still works.

Sansa Clip+, RockBoxed. I use a pair of Sony Sport over the headphones on the run, and clip the Clip+ to my shorts (very small). On the bike I use a single ear bud, my right ear bud, with the long cord wrapped up to a short cord. The Clip+ is clipped to the retention strap allowing access to pause, next etc.

This is what I should use. I used a ipod shuffle, it was great, then I sweat on it and it didn't work anymore. Now I have nothing. For headphones I use skullcandy titans (~$40), they work great but now the buttons don't work on them either likely due to sweat or abuse. I will likely buy another shuffle when things thaw around here.

On the road I don't use anything but on the trainer/treadmill I use my phone with Spotify. Bose earbuds on the trainer and Beats noise cancelling on the treadmill to drown out the sound of my old ass hand-me-down treadmill.

I've got an ancient iPod Shuffle. In all honesty, I don't wear it a lot. Mostly at the gym or on long runs to keep from getting too bored.

It's gotten soaked a couple of times and stopped working, but was OK once it dried out. Think I've been lucky in that regard.

I've gone through multiple sets of ear buds over the years. Usually just get what's ever on sale a Best Buy.

Sansa Clip. I used an older Sansa for about 5 years before it was finally done. Just got the clip and love it. It even stays on when i do track intervals or tempo runs.

I had been using basic panasonic cheap ear buds which were fine, though one would work its way loose. I won some Yurbuds in a contest a month ago and switched to them (the $20 variety). They have decent sound (I can turn the volume down quite a bit) and stay in my ears quite well.

I use a Sony Walkman I got last year for about $75, 4gb, 8 hours of playback, 3 minute charge will get you an hour, and you can also swim with it.

I've somehow managed to kill 3 Sansa clips. They're good devices, though.

Annoyingly, there are very few sports-type sweat-proof clip style mp3 players now. Only cheap knockoff stuff from Asia that has no warrantee.

I now tend to go music-free on the road and just focus on hammering, but on the treadmill (which I use for half my miles - it's great!) bluetooth Jaybirds with either TV or phone (podcasts/music) works great.

Yes, I would like to get rid of the wires, but compared to a shuffle your iPhone is like carting around a typewriter.

I've got two setups:

Indoor Bike Training: Beats Wireless Studio Headphones and iPad w/ Movie or Spotify
Outdoor Runs/Bike Rides: Plantronic BackBeat Go 2 Wireless Headphones with Apple iPhone in a Racing Belt

"Train so you have no regrets @ the finish line"

I agree. I hate running with my phone.

I'm one of the audioflood shuffle users - it's priceless for pool running!
I also have the nano 5th generation. Had to buy it off of ebay after putting the last one in the washing machine. I like this better when I want to be able to easily navigate from music to podcast... and even to FM radio.

True, I don't like carrying my iPhone too but winter clothings made it easier to carry. I usually don't run with music in the summer when pockets aren't available to hold the phone.

I used that until my headphones died from the sweat. Then I bought a fairly cheap pair of Yurbuds. Been working fine since then. I have a pair of Plantronics BT headphones, they can't stay in my ears and the battery doesn't last long enough.

Water proof iPod shuffle with Yur Buds. Though I'm not fully sold on the Yur Buds, lately the right bud has been falling out a lot. Thinking of making a switch to Bose Soundsport, I've read some good reviews on them.
