Mini radio for running?

Sussex18 · 08-09-2021 08:27AM #1

Hi I'm wondering if anyone could recommend anything very small that I could listen to during a marathon or half marathon?. I used to like the little 'IPod Nano' but they're no longer available now.

I frequently use my phone but in a race it might be a bit big.

**Disclaimer I'd only use one earphone in a race. Marathons can be long are Iong, smaller one's can feel even longer. Some music might help.

But I'd need something very small.

Suggestions appreciated.

Sandisk clip jam...basic but works fine and has option of loading up music or using radio. Not Bluetooth compatible.

I used to buy Ipod nanos from ebay and you can still get them . Sandisk is ok (which I have too) but ipod is much better.

Ipod nano doesn't have radio though right? Reason I ask is that my sandisk jam has bit the bullet and the only thing keeping me away from the ipod nano is the lack of radio..I'm old school..lol

Im not sure if the picture above works, but I had one of these, iPod nano 6th generation, and it had a radio and 8gb of storage. Maybe eBay etc will have them?

something like this will work fine in a decent reception area

gives you the option of bluetooth for using with stored music also but like any small device (or phone) if using the over-the-air radio you need to be using wired earphones as that acts as the antenna

clip is handy to attach onto shorts waistband etc

Would you consider a music watch? No radio but you can download podcasts and music

sorry, just realised this thread is a few months old
