wireless headphones in the gym?

[Carl Carlson]

It just occurred to me that wireless headphones may be the way to go in the gym.

Think about it... no wires to get in the way (I tuck the wires in my shirt, but it can still get annoying from time to time) and you wouldn't have to worry about a belt clip or an armband to hold onto your cd or mp3 player since you can just set it on the floor next to you.

Has anyone tried this? The only problem I forsee is that most wireless headphones seem to be the earmuff style... not exactly ideal for working out.

Google izon bt205. It's a product that looks like wireless headphones but is actually an mp3 player, fm tuner, and bluetooth cellphone receiver. Kinda cool.

Cool, thanks.


I stumbled across these myself... they look pretty sweet:

They also have a similar, non-ipod specific version for like $20 less.

Oakley makes a sweet pair of sunglasses, with the mp3 player built up near your ear.. earphones come down off the shades into your ears.. hardly noticeable.. the lens flip up. better for running.. but you could use them in the gym if you really wanted to look like a toolbag.. not my advice though.. just saying options
