LG VX-8100
headphones?
Can someone explain the headphone situation? I reccently purcharsed the 8100 for my wife - mainly because she needed a new phone, and wanted an mp3 player that she could use while working out - so I figured a the 8100 was a good fit.
So far the phone is great, thanks to posts on this forum, got mp3's playing pretty much right away - went down to Radio Shack, bought a $4 3.5mm -> 2.5mm (regular stereo headphones -> 2.5mm) adapter, but only get audio out of the right ear? I've found other posts like this:

on this forum which imply that you have to have headphones meant for use with mobile phones? Can anyone verify this and/or explain?
Thanks in advance,

Yeah, the headphone jack in your cell phone has extra connections built in for a mic, so when you receive a call you can switch over to cell phone use and be able to talk. The adapters you get at RS do not have enough connections and do not properly line up with the cell phone jack. From what I hear the market just isn't big enough yet for companies to start making adapters to use regular stereo headphones with cell phones. You still need a mic so you can talk. That is why you need a stereo headphone specifically made for cell phones.
Consider buying a bluetooth stereo headphone and get rid of the wires. Plantronics makes a nice BT stereo headset for cell phones. I don't have it yet, but it's on my Wish List. 😁
