Help Need creative ideas for using Note II while on the treadmill+

aileendq · Dec 16, 2012

So I love to watch Netflix on my phones during cardio at the gym. With my other phones I just left the phone on the little lip of the treadmill or Arc machine, with occasional accidents happening b/c I yank on my headphone cord inadvertently.

The Note II is not a phone I want bouncing of the machine and striking the floor in *any* way (even with a case on it).

So I need suggestions as to how to use it. Wireless headphones? 9if so, which style/brand do you suggest?) Some method of attaching the phone to the machine maybe?

(I don't have a case right now- I just got it Friday and ordered a wallet-type case which is on it's way to me.)

Thanks!

Double sided tape might work?

A dedicated case with double stick or velcro and leave the case attached to the treadmill and pop it out when done. Of course, if its a gym's treadmill, I'd recommend a set of BT fitness headphones that go around your neck. Made by Motorolla, work good.

You can get stereo bluetooth headphones. Since you are only listening to movies and not music or using the mic for talking, you don't need to care too much about sound quality. You are going to get sweat all over so just get any pair of cheap ones.

I'm on my 2nd set of S10's; they are quite good and tolerate a lot. Nothing exposed to a lot of sweat will last forever, but a pair will give many months of daily, drenching cardio before succumbing. Works well on the road bike too, the around the back part sits just below where a typical helmet rests. (some disapprove of music+road biking of course...)

I use Jaybird Freedom headphones. They are wireless and guaranteed for life against sweat damage. I tried the Freedom Sprint version and returned them due to crappy battery life. Since I bought mine, Jaybird has come out with a new product as well, can't give feedback for them.

Only drawback to Jaybird is the bluetooth connection is not very strong, can't be more than a few feet from your device.

Thank you! I do about an hour of heavy cardio 5x a week, so this is good to know!
