I upgraded my old watch (https://www.laks.com/output.php?name=future&art_id=44) to the new Laks Music Memory (https://www.laks.com/output.php?name=future&art_id=97). Very nice watch, I am very impressed with it. The only problem is the head phone jack is 2.5mm. I have an adapter but I would like to connect directly to the watch. It came with some 2.5mm earbuds but I would like some better headphones. I found these (http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/productMtce/productDetail.do?state=init&productId=171&productRef=PEBU-61113-01&category=HEADPHONES) but I would like some advice. Does anyone know of some high quality 2.5mm headphones?

You may be able to buy a headphone plug adapter... Certainly easier than shopping around for a good quality pair of phones in that size.

i am using philips sbc-hs430. i dont like the earphones which you "plug" into your ear. because they are not healty.
i strongly recommend you phillips, it is very small and has an excellent sound.

As he mentioned...

I have an adapter but I would like to connect directly to the watch.

As for me, I haven't found any worthwhile 2.5mm headphones. 90%+ of them are designed for phones, not general audio players.

What about these (http://store.treocentral.com/accessories_view.php?a_id=18) from the TreoCentral store, or the JAVOedge (http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/productMtce/productDetail.do?state=init&productId=171&productRef=PEBU-61113-01&category=HEADPHONES) retractable headphones, just two options I found after a google search. Also, I'm assuming that the watch manufacturer kept the same standard ring order so that these would work in the watch.

Yeah I saw those earlier, I found these (http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/productMtce/productDetail.do?state=init&productId=171&productRef=PEBU-61113-01&category=HEADPHONES) but I would like some advice

They look good but I want to see if they have clip-on the ear style ones before I buy ear-buds.

Warning : You will NEVER find a good pair of headphones with a jack that small. Hell, it is next to impossible finding a pair of headphones with a 1/8" jack. Mind you, on the same note, you will be hardpressed to pump a good sound out of the device you are using, so you should stick with the little earbuds it came with, as you won't find much better :(
