No pockets in your running shorts? That doesn’t mean you have to pound the pavement or treadmill in silence. The Music Band-It keeps your music streaming while you run, walk, or hike. The armband, which comes in versions to fit the iPhone and a variety of iPods, features built-in earbuds with a 4 foot long retractable cord that makes listening to music while you work out hassle-free. The enclosure for the device has a clear panel that protects it from scratches while still allowing you full use of the controls.  Editor’s Note: Do NOT use for swimming, unless you’re Michael Phelps.
