looking at the pics off this link it looks like you will be stuck with the head phones provided as they have a special connector. so no opition to improve sound quality

Yeah man, that is crap, I have these really nice Panasonic headphones which I'd like to use instead of the ones that come with the phone. Plus, the SE headphones have a bulky connector, i prefer to standard headphone jacks

Maybe the reason SE did not give us a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack is because they use more space up inside the phone, whereas the SE connector barely enters the phone - the contacts touch outside of the phones case.

Just a theory.

The headphone HPM-70 will have the possibility to connect another headphone instead of the earplugs supplied, just like it is with for instance Sony remote-earphones supplied with Minidiscs. Its a shame that i doesn´t show on the site:

you could well be right though i am sure a few extra mm could have been found.
not that i am really that bothered as i much prefer to use a cd player for portable music, they still sound so much better than any mp3 player even if they are bulky

Personly I think Sony (which is one of the owners of SE) are trying to do what Microsoft have done. As the largest supplier of home electronics, providing non-standard Sony specific extentions such as headphones and memory stick is a way to make/force you buy Sony stuff even in the future keeping all competitors on a safe distance.

Once you buy I Sony device, they now you wont abandon their product although you may find their strategy both expensive and irritating.

@david1975

Its exactly that human behaviour that giants such as Nokia, MS and Sony rely on to keep or increase their market shares. For instance, a small company such as SE have more to prove than Nokia. Its not enough for SE to make better phones, they must be exceptional to gain market shares unless Nokia starts to disintegrate as Siemens seem to do.
