Whether or not you are an athlete, running is more enjoyable when you can listen to music.

Robust and weather resistant, the MSI 521 is ideal for jogging or camping. Its memory ranges from 128MB to 512MB and both mp3 and wma formats are supported. There is also a built-in FM radio with 15 presets. The sound quality is good and an equaliser lets the user change settings to suit their preference. But the headphones are a disappointment: they look and feel cheap and have a tendency to fall off.

For serious joggers, the device offers a stopwatch, pedometer and calorie counter.
