Headphones with 2.5mm jack?

bluechang · 25-09-2007, 23:59

Any idea where I can pick up a decent pair of headphones that have a 2.5mm jack rather than the standard 3.5mm? It is for my Nokia 6300 handset.

Have you thought about using Bluetooth headphones like:

?

yeah i had, I ordered a pair of motorola ht820s but when i received them, bits were missing, (tried them anyway, and found that they cut up the first few seconds of every song i played. They have gone back and am waiting for a refund.

If i were to look at getting adifferent pair of BT stereo headset, which one would be best?

I can't comment on which are the best. The beauty of these is that the unit actually consists of the headphones and a bluetooth receiver unit. This means that if you want you can use any (3.5mm) headphones with it.

The sound is OK, a bit low on bass but fine for everyday use, the delay isn't too bad and the battery lasts well.

I spotted these http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4...258&dpr=104258
on play earlier. Quite tempted considering they are now £18

That's the sort of thing I use, but I would recommend one with a 90 degree angle and a short length of cable, rather than one that looks like that - it just adds a lot to the size of the item you plug it into.

Something like this:
