I've had a W800i for less than three months, but already cable on the the supplied earbud headphones are starting to fray with only average use. ### See attached photo ### The daft rubbery neckband and overly-brittle insulation on the eadbud cable are to blame. The neckband is annoying anyway as it makes it tricky to stow and wear.
Does anyone else have this problem? I saw a W800 ion the train this morning and their SE phones didn't have the neckband...has SE changed the design due to this flaw?

Just get a thing that converts it from the SE port to a 3.5mm jack from E-Bay, then you can use any normal headphones. Thats what I do for my K750i |

yeah thats the beauty of the new headphones from SE.... the can be used with almost any headphones. The best i have found is an alterntaive to bluetooth;
wireless headphones for the home. and they sounds great....
bit bulky but they work well...

The quality of the photo was useless. I was just commenting on how bad the photo came out and you could have made it so much clearer using the K750i/W800is Cam. Thats all.

The photo wasn't taken using a camera phone, but rather a 4Megapixel digital camera. At those closeup range, it cannot use a flash. |

Mmm I think you are wandering a little off topic here! C'mon!
1) The W800 (which you say you have in the topic title...  ) also has the rubber nect support you showed us
2) The picture is fine, it's not perfect, but you can see the cables are 'breaking' near the neck.
Cheers

I didnt like the curved solid top of the headphones anyway (kept making them fall out my ear) so am using some nice Sony ones that have the same ear inserts (can't remember type).
Well done to Sony that they make the earphones a 2 part piece so we can use better headphones! |
