I actually
posted information about the SP8AA quite a while ago but got little response.
Check it out before you buy one of these handy little devices.
I also bought their standard 2.5mm -> 3.5mm stereo adapter for the times when I just wanna listen to music.

Nah, I had a 2.5mm adapter lying about from when I was going to attempt to make an adapter for my T68i's HPM-10 (before I learnt the connector is all weirdly wired up).
So my original headphones are intact still.

Oops, sorry, you're right, I AM generalising! I forgot that some of us, when we are listening to music and get an incoming call prefer to fumble in their pocket for the phone, stick it up to the headphone, remember they've got a headphone on, rip the headphone off, remember they've got the headphone plugged in, pull it out, and then answer the call rather than simply leaving the headphones in place. Silly me.

@Dazultra2000 and Vermania
The SP8AA arrived today - posted from the UK operation.
Tried with my quality portable headphones and wow, so much better than the SE set. Three dimensional sound...I can visualise the instruments...the base on reggae...ahhh..wonderful. Hmmm...now I thinks I will need to rip MP3s with at a higher quality...which means I will need to buy an additonal 128MB card...this experience could be expensive!

I ordered mine on Tuesday, so should be here today (thurs) or tomorrow. Looking forward to it as it should arrive the same time as my 128MB MSD

No MSD, but the adapter arrived. Have spent the morning testing it, and my verdict is very positive!
Easy to use, decent sound! Well recommended.
My only slight gripe is that the microphone clip is perhaps a little flimsy, but it doesn't matter too much, just use the one off my P800 headphones!

The essential problem here seems to be:
1) We all want our quality headphones for music
2) We all want the mic for uninterrupted phone use
The answer requires a soldering iron and a steady pair of hands (don't try this with a hangover or on the back of a hyper-caffeine binge
. If it's been a while since you've done close wiring work, you may want to try this on your second best pair of headphones.
Snip the earbuds off with a pair of wirecutters, leaving the three-band minijack, microphone and microswitch on the wire. Remove the covers from your headphones. Locate the incoming wires (there are usually three) and snip them away. Remove the wires from the headphones.
Run the Sony Ericsson wires through the same path where the headphone wires went, and BEFORE you solder anything use alligator clips or duct tape to attach them well enough to get a connection.
There are three wires coming out of the line that need to be soldered in the three places you've snipped wires away from. Which goes where?
Since they were never designed to come apart, there's no colour coding and you just have to experiment with wire placement until you've got stereo and the left-right channels playing correctly. (Old hippies recommend the opening sound effects from the Dark Side of the Moon -- the helicopter flies overhead left to right... umm, what was I talkin' about, man? Oh, yeah...) You have to do some acrobatics to get this right, since you can't really put the headphones on or your connections will probably fail. Persist. It's worth it.
Carefully solder those suckers in place. They're hair-thin, it ain't easy. But when you're finished, you have something on your head that doesn't make your music sound like it's being played in a tuna tin, and which you don't have to take off to take or make a call. Nirvana.
This is also useful if, like me, you just can't wear earbuds and need an over-the-ear headphone.
Here endeth the lesson.
What a great post i'll realy have to try that one day! Nice one !

i agree, handy post, i reccomend sony earphones, i don't mind in-ear earphones. less likely to faltout whilst cycling n' runnin' for buses. plus. where the 2 wires join theres a handy plastic sleave to hide your dodgy wiring

The only solution in this world pertaining to our 2.5mm woes and 3.5mm jack having no answere button is this:
Sign a petition to get SE to sell the headset that comes with the bluetooth HBM-30 separately. Design-wise: it is beautiful, jack-wise: 2.5mm, any answer button?: yes...
There you are...
