Hi,
My earphones have given up the ghost (one of the hears is buzzing) and as I listen to a lot of music on my vario so I need to replace them. I'm looking for recommendations, they need to be good quality and in ear. It'd also be nice (although not essential) if they actually worked as hands free as well. Would I be better off just getting a 2.5mm->3.5mm converter and a semi decent normal set of earphones and just losing the hands free function?
Cheers

HTC do a bluetooth headphone adaptor which you can plug your own headphones into and i believe it handles the handsfree mic part of the setup so you wont loose the hands free. but it costs about £60 though

Expansys have 2 adaptors for 3.5mm headphone jacks that fit the Wizard, one is hands free and the other is about 3cm long.  I've one of each and they both do the job well, though they aren't cheap (around £12 last time I looked)

Search for the Qtek 9100 or Treo 650, not the Vario - when I ordered they got the part numbers mixed up and the one they sent didn't work!

Alternatively if you wanted to go down the Bluetooth root and not end up spending £60  

iTECH do a good range of Bluetooth adapters that are mainly A2DP compatible. This is an Expansys list but you can get them a lot cheaper elsewhere on the Internet.
