How is the Sony Ericsson w810 as an MP3 player?

[Impossibles]

I don't know about the K800i, but can't you just unplug the earphones from the w810i cord and plug in different headphones? The end of the cord is a standard plug.

Can somebody here not verify this? I know there are a lot of w810 owners here.

You can use your own headphones that plug into the microphone adapter on the stock headset that comes with the W810. The only problem with that is the microphone cord is pretty long, so the headphones are the short ones (^ see picture). If you use your own headphones, you might want to invest into that small adapter, less cables to deal with (but then you lose the microphone).

I've had my W810 since last September, the phone is amazing and I haven't seen anything on the market so far that rivals it in features/quality for the same price.
For the guys who have hiss during mp3s, just upgrade your firmware through SEUS...

Cons
small keys
headphone adapter required

Pros
too many to list


The only part of the phone I do not like is the keys are way too small and the jack adapter that you have to use. I don’t understand the complaints from some posters on the MP3 player. It is very good and there is an equalizer so you can customize the sound. As the poster said above you might want to invest in a smaller adapter because the one they give you is way too long and the cords become a little cumbersome when you attach the headphones.

Or buy a piar of earbuds like the Sony MDR-EX71 that have a really short card (but come with an extension cord to make it longer. That's what I sue so I can still use the mic that came with the phone.

no problems here with sound or battery life?
aside from only up to 4GB space its good for MP3 listening.
I no longer have that model phone but I did like it. I now have the K790A.
I don't think I would go with a cell phone without an mp3 player of some kind.
I like listening to music and I don't like missing calls, with a separate mp3 player I found I missed calls all the time!

how does the k790 mp3 player compare?
