The armband further includes one or more ports for introducing a fluid into the chambers to thereby inflate the chambers into a condition wherein the armband is laterally contoured to substantially conform to the muscular contour of the arm and thereby maintain a substantially fixed position along the length of the arm. A receptacle is attached to the armband for holding a portable audio device.
