Abstract: An armband assembly adapted to be transportively worn about a person's arm for carrying a portable radio in such a position that either the person is able to hear the audio sounds generated by the radio directly or else the fixed length electrical cord of the ear plug assembly is able to comfortably reach from the ear plug adapted to be retainably inserted within the person's ear to the jackplug of the radio for operative connection thereto. The armband assembly includes a first strap assembly for retainably encircling the person's arm to be transportively carried thereon and a second assembly fixedly secured to the first strap assembly for at least partially enclosing the radio so as to retainably mount the radio with respect to the first band assembly thereby enabling the radio to be transportively carried by the person's arm so as to provide him with readily available audio sounds while leaving his hands free for manual tasks and the like.
