Default Using the P500 to listen to music while playing basketball?

Hey,

my intenion is basically described in the title, I want to listen to music with my P500 while I'm shooting some hoops. To be able to do that I need some things though.

1. Some kind of band that lets me properly attach the P500 to my arm, does anyone know a band like that? (I have searched but didn't find anything yet)

2. Good headphones that stay in my ear while playing basketball. I've found some on amazon, but pretty much all of them had mixed reviews, can anyone recommend me good sport (basketball) headphones?

Thanks in advance!

I think it's a really bad idea

I mean you'll whole the time jumping and shooting will be annoying to have something too heavy sticked to your body

get a chest holster, then modify it from a gun to your phone.

Then try some of the panasonic sport headphones

I don't think this would work so well attached to your arm. There is a lot of movement going on around the arm so I think the headphones would get in the way. I think either putting it in your pocket and under your shirt or attaching some kind of holster at the hip and under the shirt would work best. I'm speaking from what I've seen.

The headphone, you should use a bluetooth headphone, right?

There's a earphone wich is a small arc, all you need to do is to put that arc around your ear and play...

About the case, I don't know anything wich might be that secure, cause while playing, you're shaking your body a lot, so this case would be very useful for those who wants to practice any sport...

Also, there are some arm straps for iphone-touch nokia like. Since the sizes of the phones are similar, you can give 'em a try.

You could wear a belt and attach a phone holster.
