I just got a pair of SlicSound http://www.slicsound.com/ earpieces that fit over the headphones made for the xda and xdaII. They turn normal earphones into something like etymotics http://www.etymotic.com/, but for much less. I got them because they improve the stereo sound quality while still allowing full telephony operation, so I don't have to lug another pair of headphones to listen to my mp3s.

They are only $10.00, and do a good job of blocking outside noise from polluting your music or conversation; plus I don't turn up my phone as high. I like them so much, I even use the XDA headphones for my laptop with an adaptor.

Just thought I'd tell you about it if you didn't know, the company is a little obscure and took a while for me to find. - I am making a temporary review on my website if you want to check it out (pics and all) at http://students.seattleu.edu/kertesr.

Does anyone know if you can get something similar in the UK?

I heard that the Virgin (music) stores used to sell them in the U.K. but I don't know if they do right now. I do know that the slicsound website ships internationally...look under information I believe.

I just got a I even use the XDA headphones for my laptop with an adaptor.

Where did you get the adaptor? I would also like to use my headphones in my XDA and also in the laptop, rather than carry two pairs of headphones around.

I've looked around, but although there are 3.5 to 2.5 adaptors, I haven't been able to find a 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
