Hi, JJ The shuffle would be the one to go, I would say. those bigger ones are heavy. Mine feels like i am carrying a Ft. Knox gold brick around. So treadmill hopping or running a bit with a bigger ipod might impede the movements much more than using a shuffle -and then there are earphones for softening the sound, although my iPod doesn't blast into my ears either. -My husband being almost deaf, we do experiment around with sound a bit, and while hearing almost nothing, he still cannot tolerate a loudish sound.
