Sony Ericsson W810
2.5mm headset adapter? 3.5mm headphone adapter?
Is that correct? If not, where do I get the adapter?
While I'm at it, do I understand correctly that the W810 includes a connector that a standard 3.5 stereo audio jack, one that I can plug any standard headphones or earbuds into?
anything goes =D
My confusion is over the word "headset." I use that to mean telephone gear: a mic and earpiece, usually with a 2.5mm plug.
When I'm talking about just music/radio earpiece(s), usually with a 3.5mm plug, I use "headphones."
Not picking nits, but just to be sure, by "standard issue headset" you converting mean "headphones" or "3.5mm" to 2.5, right?
As for bluetooth, why? Somewhere here or there I've read that bluetooth is a bit muddy. Fine for phone reception, but not what I want for music, eh? That, and it's more bulk, more batteries, more to break (maybe you haven't dropped as much headgear as I have), more electronics to go bad, technically no privacy ( 👀 Just an an excuse to use that image, although we all heard about that analog phone snoop in Florida), and more expense.

(Definitely wouldn't screw around with modding the stock part unless I had a spare.)
Now that I think about this, I wonder about the Fastport connector's durability, and it also seem...

Anyone see any reason I couldn't snip a Sony phone headset's cord and solder an inline 2.5mm jack onto it?
That is, apart from the clunkiness and absurdity of having to take such a flyer with a $20 part, and needing to find a 2.5mm inline jack.
Similar question about converting for 3.5mm audio-only headphones -- could I start with Sony's MMC-70 (Fastport to 3.5 stereo plug) or MMC-60 (Fastport to RCA plugs)? Or do they attenuate the signal so it's too low to run headphones?
FWIW, phone designers, this is the one thing that still has me considering LG. OTOH, their rising ring started me looking at SE.😕
