In 2006, I bought a 256MB Coby MP3 headset for $32.95 (the one they sent was defective & I had to get a replacement sent). I loved it! It held a couple hours worth of songs and was lightweight. No wires! I could wear it on a 5 mile walk to the store or
while hiking in the mountains or while playing games. It ran on a single AAA battery. I used it on and off for 3 years. It disappeared in 2009, and I really missed it. One year later, I decided I wasn't going to find it, so I researched replacements.
I couldn't find the Coby model for sale online or in stores anywhere. I know Otto brand makes one, but I wasn't impressed with the specs. After extensive research, the following three models look like the best:
- MiiKey MiiSport Blue Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Headphone with Microphone ,Built-in MP3 player,Supports Micro SD ,Sweat-proof and HD Audio.
This is my new #1 pick! My previous #1 pick ran for 12 hours on a single AAA battery (the others use rechargeable batteries which start at 15 hours but degrade over the months/years). Since I take mine on multi-day hikes, I can't use ones that
use rechargeable batteries. It is the only model with a display. It weighs the least. It is the only model with "shuffle". My only concern is a long glowing review which stated that it will last a year.

ZOpid - Wireless Headset MP3 Player w/ FM Radio & 2GB Built-in Memory & Long-lasting Rechargeable Battery . My #3 Pick! I have no use for the FM radio tuner. If you do, this seems to be the only model that has it (and at no real added cost).

USB 2.0 Folding MP3 Player w/Secure Digital Slot (Black) - Behind-the-Head Stereo Headphones w/Built-in MP3 to Work Out Tangle-Free! . My #5 Pick! Insanely cheap, but has no internal memory. If you already have a 4 GB SD card (can be found new for under $10), this is probably the best model for you!
- Comes with one 3.7v AAA litiom ion battery (no idea what the battery life is) which charges from the USB port.
Sony NWZ-W252 Headphone-style Walkman MP3 Player (Metal Gear Solid Camouflage Limited Edition) . My #6 Pick! This is from Sony, so I'd trust the quality more than all of the above models. It's also better-looking and not as bulky.
