Good suggestion indeed, I prefer wired headset actually. Some studiew said Bluetooth is not good for health over time.
I always wear cap in my long run, but my worry about MO sweat resistant as I sweat quite a bit.
I have taken the m0 through some long runs / ultras / hikes / ski trips / whatever. I sweat A LOT. It was fine just being in the pocket or in one of the mesh pockets of my running vest. By the way, I used exclusively wired too, no issues. What it however did not survive was a trip through a washing machine. Ah well.
Now that I am in a need of a new player, I am debating whether to go for m0 again. Form factor was beyond excellent. Sound was very very good. Battery life so-so, a bit on the weaker side. But the controls, arghh, the controls. Basically I couldn't control the player on a run, since once it got covered in sweat, the screen stopped being responsive, and no amount of cleaning seemed to help, the only solution was to let it dry out completely. So I think I was reduced to double pressing the wheel button for the next track, which was frustrating when I wanted to change to a different album or a podcast.
What I would ideally like is something with the same form factor, comparable sound quality (I am willing to compromise here) and hardware buttons. And ideally some podcast support. Something like, say, a rockboxed clip+. **Major sigh.**
