Yes, we've all whinged about how crappy the headsets are. If SE are serious about making these phones media centers, they need to give users options for connectivity.
For me, the following accessory would be a killer SE accessory.
It's taken from my Sony CLIE NR70V which has an its own mp3/media player. The buttons can be used to scroll thru the playlist, or for accepting calls. The 3.5mm plug is used for your quality Sony in-ear bud phones. And the clip keeps everything tidy. Something like this would be easy to produce, even for a third-party OEM (if they drop the device specific media buttons).
So, come on SE... get your damn act together!!

Its a great idea being able to use our own headphones.

I use this one:

It doesn't have media buttons, but at least it let me use my regular headphones on my P910i

Nah man... that accessory will only work on a Pxx0...
I was thinking more along the lines of the current handsfree, so that the end of the cable connects to the data bus at the bottom of the handset. This way, you can use it with any SE handset, not just the ones with 2.5mm jacks.
It would be cool, I cant believe *why* no-one has thought of this before. It's beyond me!!
I might have buy a spare handsfree and make my own!!

That would be an ace accessory. Im sure they have been thinking about it.
They can't just restrict us to SE headphones

i doubt if se are ever gonna let us use our own headphones. there's money to be made in accessories!!

Well i only buy Sony headphones, so they will still get money

Same here.. I've got decent sony silicon in ear-buds. But I cant use the damn things.
Also, does anyone know the SE order code for the Stereo earphones that came with the K700?? I cant seem to find them at any store, or online anywhere.
I need the stereo ones because I think they contain some circuitry for the extra earphone, as the pinouts are identical on the single (t68) and dual (k700) handfree.
I'll then be able mod the innards!

It's the HPM-20. I could find it on the dutch SE page:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10204
Hope you can find it as well.

hpm-20 uses a port designed for the older phones (K700 below)
for phones using FastPort (K750, etc.) you can use HPM-70
i believe it uses a mini jack so that you can replace the supplied headset with whatever you like.

I hope they'll be available to buy from SE and not just packaged with the W800i.
EDIT: they're on the SE website !
But not available to buy yet.

I might buy me a hpm-70 and hack my K700i stereo HF plug onto the end in place of the fast port plug. Then I can finally plug my phone into the fm modulator in the car...

i WILL be buying the steroe headphones for my k750i,
Does anyone know the release date yet though?
Posted by c96sthl
be patient.....just be patient.
Posted by arnoldc
max_wedge, i was planning to do that (DIY) on the supplied K750i stereo headset
but as c96sthl said, patience 
however, if and when i buy the hpm-70, what will i do with the supplied headset? hmmm, might just go ahead and just do it!
Posted by max_wedge
scotchgit had a good suggestion over at http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=96638
Just cut the ear buds off the k700i stereo hf, and solder in a 3.5mm stereo socket. I'm gonna do the same until the hpm70 comes out. It's a custom K700i hpm70 basically.
