For the past year I've been running with my iPhone and iPhone armband. It's OK but a bit bulky.

Just got a new iPhone 3GS and am thinking of not running with it anymore but getting something else.

I do a lot of running and high intensity workouts so I'm looking for something lightweight but also has quality sound. I just ordered a pair of Soundmagic PL50's for some upcoming long distance runs.

I listen to a lot of heavy rock when I workout. Tool and other metal bands. Looking for decent sound quality, lightweight, doesnt cost a bundle.

Anyone have any suggestions?

iPod Shuffle
iPod Nano?
Sansa Clip
Something else???

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Clip

Clip, of course. It fits all of your criteria and literally blows the Shuffle/Nano out of the water SQ-wise. It's also so cheap it can almost be considered disposable - you can get a new 2gb clip for the same $$ as a refurbished 1gb shuffle.

I might try the clip.

Might be worth a try.

Maybe I should keep running/working out with my 3gs as the sound quality is pretty awesome.

Just having a heck of a time finding a decent armband.

mehhhh just cant pull the trigger on the clip. Been looking , saw the 1gigs locally cheap but its kinda ugly whereas at the past gen shuffle still looks pretty cool.

Been an apple boy for way too long....hard to break away.

Philips new go gear SA018(just seen at walmart) is looks same as last(2nd) gen shuffle. But it has full sound technology which is really amazing and it enhance the sound. It looks really small and has FM radio with clip to hang on shirts.

Keep running w/ your iPhone and add Trailguru or MotionX to track distances. Very cool IMHO.

Sansa Clip, cant go wrong with it

you don't metion if your are care for sound quality. If not so demanding on sound quality, clip is suit for you. but compared with 3G，you will be a bit dispiont on clip.

It's obvious, you already have itunes. You're running, SQ on the shuffle is fine. It clips wherever you want it.

Depends on how you are wearing it. If you are not using an armband or something like that then forget the Sansa Clip

2G Shuffle is best for clipping straight onto clothing
