does anyone know where to pick up a decent pair of in-ear stereo headphones or headset for the 5600? i'm sure the 8125'll have the same 2.5mm jack, so looking for use now/planning for future. looking for something like this:

the moto ones don't work, even though they're 2.5mm...

thanks,

By moto, do you mean the buds for the ROKR? I've seen buds on the ROKR display at a cingular store that I was going to get, but at $40 I'll stick to what I already have: retractable 2.5 buds from Tiger Direct. JavoEdge has them too.

Read my epinion on them at: http://www.epinions.com/content_196872736388

[hope this doesn't violate rules...]

Or you could get a 2.5 <> 3.5 adapter...

What brand are the headphones? I was just on the tiger direct website, and the only ones that looked compatible were $60.99.
Thanks, A.

The brand is Zip-Linq. And they are listed on the canadian Tiger Direct site (*.ca).

Search for ZIP-AUDIO-CD6.

They're cheap too!

I actually use pretty much those exact headphones from Sony with my 5600. I bought them at Buy.com and bought the Garmin 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter at the same time. It was like $6 or so. Works like a champ for me...

I would just get a 2.5mm -to- 3.5mm adapter, then use whatever headphones you want

Thats what I do...

I just checked them out online...they look decent. Called the Markham store, but they don't have any in-stock. Does anyone know what headsets are out there that include the built-in mic for receiving calls? I saw a pair from Body Glove on ebay, obviously expensive though. I don't like the sound quality on the stock headset, which is why I'm looking for a replacement.

EDIT: I found one when I searched just 'ziplinq' on the tiger direct website, but the jack is only 3.5mm. I'm not even sure it works with a cell (to answer calls). Here it is anyways, if anyone's interested:
