I am considering this setup for the gym. The Vibes because from what I have read, they offer some but not a high degree of isolation with above average SQ. The I7 for good SQ with the understanding that the controls will need to be managed. Also, I prefer FLAC. If I go 4GB (enough for a gym only player) with the I7 I can get this rig on a brown van for right at $200.

Should I go with setup or will it sound like residue?

I had planned to put it in a Case Logic arm band case to protect it. I thought that it would be o.k. as long as I don't leave it laying around like a gift. I do not know where else to find a FLAC player with good SQ.

I've always like the Vibes for working out with. They do slide out of my ears a bit, but have never actually fallen out, you might just need to re-adjust occasionally. I personally think they are a pretty good choice for this application.

Amazon is selling the Vibes at a reasonable price.
