Running radio?

[Deleted User]

Hi All,

I am looking for a small lightweight radio that I can use with headphones when running. I use to have a Nike/Philips one, but no longer do and it seems as though the product is no longer available anywhere. Such a shame as i was really good! Does anyone have any suggestions for a good radio to buy for running?

Thanks

Kate

iPod Nano has an FM radio, lot of cost involved just for the radio feature though.

Yes, I have one, but unfortunately got water leaked over it and the radio now doesn't work although the rest of it works fine. So it seems silly to pay for a new one if I can just get a radio that will be good and cheaper!

Pure do a mini dab radio - frien dof mine runs with one - it is tiny.

If your Ipod is still working generally you might want to try this:

 Its a tiny Roberts DAB/FM Radio attachment for Ipod Nano which connects via the charging dock.  Cost around £40. I've got one which I've found works well.

Thanks Sarah looks pretty good. I am assuming you will have to hold your ipod and radio though? So does that make it quite bulky to run with?

No - it really is tiny - it weighs about 30g and has a clip on the back. Its very like an Ipod shuffle.    I run with my ipod clipped to my waist band and just connect the Robi and clip it next to it. If you run with an ipod armband holder you could connect the Robi and clip it to your top.   John Lewis stocks them if you wanted to check it out.

I've used this Sony one for a few years and it's still going strong

Sony MP 3 player / radio

I had one of those with radio originally, but never used the radio function for running.  It's very small, you can get an armband if that's how you like wearing it, or just tuck it into pockets etc.   The sound quality is OK and it's quite good at picking up reception.

I have one, but find that the signalis appalling, so my evenings fix of 'Radcliffe & Maconie' is unlistenable
