Now a few other people have the w900i, i'm wondering, does anyone else have a problem with the provided earphones?
Maybe i'm just a bit out of the loop with earphone technology, but these things have silly rubber flaps and i'm not quite sure how they're meant to work. I get absolutely no bass out of them unless i cram them right down my actual earhole, and well, that's painful!
It's not the phone, i plugged some borrowed normal earphones into the 3mm jack, and they sounded fine.
I have a suspicion i'm just being a bit dumb and there's a way to make the bundled earphones sound good?
I have tried the different rubber flappy things that come with them, but none seem any better than each other. |

I find them a bit stupid, is there a converter so you can plug your own in? I think there might be with the W900.

The default size is a bit too big for me, after changing to the smaller rubber bit its very good. Different to normal earphones but you soon get used to them, really wish the remote diaplsyed the track names though... |

you can always change the headphones, you still be able to use the remote as you can split it in half (headphone/remote) and use your own preffered one (sennheiser? ) BUT you will lose the ability to answer calls with the headphones, which is great IMO. |

I currently use my Shure E3c headphones with my w900i and I find they work very well for making/receiving calls.

The microphone for making calls is in the earphones jack so that is still on the phone if you switch to another pair of headphones, not as stated above.
I also use Shure earphones and the sound quality of the w900 with these is amazing for a mobile phone. The standard earphones are also really very good. The odd design is meant to isolate the listener from external noise and create a seal with you inner ear. They need to be inserted far more than regular earphones, they are meant to sit inside the ear canal. They are more painful if you don't push them in far enough to make a proper seal. Use the smaller rubber seals first and go bigger if needed. Imagine trying to get a waterproof seal and you have got it right, Once this is done the sound and bass are very good, far better than standard earphones. Another advantage is that you get far less sound leakage so you don't annoy others on the tube and you obviously benefit by not having other noice spoil the purity of your listening.
I'm a headphone geek as well btw
