@sapporobaby that argument doesn't hold weight here. This phone is Walkman branded, and as such it is expected to be a music player. Indeed it is being marketed as a music player because its factory headset allows you to swap any headphones you want unlike any other phone, and it has a flight mode that makes your phone into a dedicated music player.
To argue that this is just a phone is irrelevant because until now all phones have claimed to be phones with MP3 support, but now we are dealing with a phone that claims to be a Walkman, so it should act like a Walkman.

Point well taken but I am quite sure SE had no intention of putting high quality components in a phone that it puts in a music player. It is a compromise device. Does a bit of this, and a bit of that but nothing extremely well.

My W800i sounds as good as my iPod does. Plus it can do many other things that the iPod can't dream of doing (like being used as a phone, etc.). I doubt that I'll ever use my iPod again as there's no need for me to carry two devices around any more.

Ive asked around in a few threads about this.... as you have a w800 does the HPM-70 allow the user to use it as an actual handsfree? does it have a mic.?? Any help is apreciated... cheers!

Yes, it sure does... The portion of the headset where the 3.5 mm jack is also doubles as a mic for the hands free (thus, no matter what headphones you plug into the 3.5 mm jack, they'll still work as a handsfree headset). It has a button on it that can be used to answer and hang up calls when they come in. It's very slick!

When the HPM-70 are being used, whereabouts does the mic hang?
Is it near your chin or chest?

The mic is about a metres length away from the Fast Port connector (i.e. where it plugs into the phone). However, it has a really nice little movable clip on the cord that allows you to position it at any location/distance from your chin. It's a very well thought out little headset.
