Default Music via micro usb?

Hello,
I'm considering to buy the new Desire HD, its the perfect HTC. Most of the time l'll be using it to listen to music. However there is a big problem. There is no joystick to operate easily the volume, next, previous... (my current phone is Tytn 2). That will be ok, if it was possible to operate the music form the headset. But as far as l know the 3.5mm jack cannot do that. So l'm asking, if is it possible to use the micro-usb to listen?
I'm using "special" 3.5mm headphones, l cannot (don't want to) replace them. But they don't have volume slider. I don't want every time to pull out the phone out of my pocket, out of the case and to operate it two handed just to switch the song, pause it or adjust the volume.
I don't want to use any other mp3 player. This is a habit of mine (using phone for music) since 5-6 years.
Thank You, l'm sorry for the dumb question and for my English.

The RC E160 should be compatible although I can't find any reference on HTC.com. Probably because the DHD is so new. The booklet I got within my DHD box does state the RC E160. But with bluetooth virtually everything is possible, eg. the Jabra BT3030.

Just checked the box again and found out that the included 3.5mm headset has a wired remote ;) And oh yeah, they suck. Better go buy some cheap but real 'phones like Sony's EP-630, found them at bol.com for 23 euros. Just use the DHD screen, I'm sure you'll want to ;)

(Would have posted links, but can't since not enough posts..)

Yes, l know about this headset, but l'm sure it sucks. l have nice Philips headphones, which are amazing. But in my every day l switch more than 200 songs, pause them et cetera. Its not practical and comfortable to use the screen every time, while hurrying.

You should consider one of those Bluetooth wathces.

Thats quite genious! It's really good!
But why HTC and other companies made it worse?! Is it too hard to leave the joy pad?! Just to copy the bloody "fashion" design of the i-phone
And yet l have to invest more money just to listen to music....
Not always simple is better!
Thanks anyway!

However my question was, is it possible to use the usb port to listen music? Is it hardware or software thing?

The headphones are of very good quality, the sound is marvelous... it even can control next/previous/pause... can't control volume though
