Cingular Siemens SX66 PPCPE headphone jack

[stevew]

I'm looking for a set of wired stereo headphones for my Siemens SX 66. The unit comes with a set of stereo ear buds but I hate earbuds. It has a 2.5 mm jack and I was using 3.5 mm headphones for the Pocket PC before this one. I purchased an 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter but it doesn't work right. This does'nt seem to be a common size . Most headphones I see are 3.5 mm.

Also, anyone know of any stereo bluetooth headphones that will work with this phone? I was looking at these but the dongle is 3.5 mm. Are there any without dongles?

Headphones I want will be used for music player and not for anything phone related necessarily.

If anyone has a questions on the newly released Cingular Siemens SX66 I'll try to help.

I had imate XDAII and bought 3.5 to 2.5mm adaptor from PPC TECHS.

Have you tried bluetooth headset? wondering if it has same problems as i-mate PDA2K when it came out? Is Keyboard truly functional?

Does PPC TECHS have LIL/sync for this?

What plan do you need from Cingular? Is MEDIA WORKS unlimited enough or do you need Data plan as well?

Thanks

Thanks but the adapter won't work for what I need. That adapter is a mono 2.5mm I need stereo 2.5 mm headphones not a headset.

urologyhealth, no I haven't tried any bluetooth headset. I would like a set of stereo bluetooth headphones for music when I hear of a set that works good with the sx 66.. As far as data plan. I went to the local Cingular store and told them I wanted an unlitimited data account. It was $39.00 a month. I'm not even sure what the plan was called.

I am using a Treo 600 right now (SX66 is being shipped) and have the Media Works for 19.95 a month for unlimited data...it's all you need.

Problem solved. I too hate the ear-buds that came w/ my SX66.
I looked into stereo earphone providers and none had a microphone for PPC phones. After having seen the offerings by Etymotic and shure, I sent the earbuds that was supplied w/my phone to Etymotic and they clipped off the ends, and put their in-the-ear plugs on my earbuds for $100.

It tool about 6 weeks but they sound great!

6 weeks! That seems like a very long turn around for something as simple as that.
