Cell phone - iPod tech question

[767Jockey]

I bought a new cell phone (It's called a Motorola "Krazr") that has a music player built in. I put in a 2GB chip and have 500 songs on it, and it works great. I spend lots of time on the road and it cuts down on the stuff I need to lug around, and now I don;t have to pack the iPod. Here's the problem - the headphone jack is a mini USB port. The only headphones I can find that are mini USB plug headphones is a set from Motorola. They are the type that fit into the area outside the ear canal, like come originally with the iPod, sort of like wrapping a dime in foam and trying to cover your ear opening with it. I guess my ears are shaped differently, and these type earphones never stay in place on me, they always fall out. I need the type that actually insert into your ear canal opening, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I need to find some sort of adapter that will take a standard iPod sized jack, and adapt it to a mini USB. I tried Radio Shack, no luck. I ordered what I thought was the proper one on eBay, no luck. It took a different sized pin that the standard one on iPod and most other small headphones. I'm at a loss here? Anyone have any ideas?

Here's a link with some info. Sounds like it may be more than just an adapter.

They did that so you would HAVE to buy their headphones.

What does this have to do with Cobras? Or gay marriage?

Just go to Radio Shack for adaptors...

I use Bang & Olufsens...over the ear, but the ear pieces swing out for comfort and for when you need to hear. The hangers slide and swivel for a perfect fit, and hold the foam in nicely to block out sound pretty well without shoving anything into the ear canal. A bit pricey, but well worth it for long periods. Around the house or on planes, I use the Bose sound killers.
