To help aid fitness buffs and athletes, electronics companies have been creating unique portable music players and accessories based on their needs. Runners need to be able to keep their MP3 player in a safe place so it doesn’t bounce around in their shorts’ pocket. Cyclists need headphones that don’t get slippery from sweat and can stay in their ear when they’re riding. With help from a familiar company, swimmers are also getting the special treatment.
