Still not having found a UK supplier for a cradle for a n30 but I am hoping
this one is a bit more straightforward -

Anybody know of a UK supplier of good quality stereo headphones (ear bud
type) with a 2.5 mm jack plug.

I am aware I can get a 3.5 to 2.5 mm adaptor so my Sony ones will fit but I
would prefer if I can to get a set with a proper sized plug...

Any ides out there.......

Don't suppose you know the catalog number. I've searched through the
ones on the Argos web site and none seem to give the jack plug size.

Well I've been through the Argos catalogue (latest edition) too
tonight and I can't find any listed with their jackplug size.... but
thanks any way for your help.

Cheers Alan but as per my original post I would like headphones with
the correct sized plug rather than use an adaptor.

Of course it will that's why I have got one on order from:-

www.beststuff.co.uk

But as per my original post I would still really like to have some
headphones fitted with the correct sized plug.........hence my
original post.

PS I don't do soldering.........

Thanks anyway.

I am an E techie and soldering Litz headphone wire onto a 2.5mm plug is
definately not easy for someone who is not used to soldering.

I understand. I hope I didn't sound holier-than-thou (I was more hoping for
encouraging than patronising) - and I wouldn't choose to solder things the
thickness of hairs every day of course.

I can identify also - I wonder if the OP ever got any or had to make so with
soldering or an adapter plug ? I did see a pair of Sennheisers on ebay
recently for ipod that purported to have a 2.5mm jack - but ipod has a 3.5mm
jack as I recall ? I guess sometimes product descriptions can be either
plain wrong or misleading.

I have a SE phone that has a 2.5mm headphone / handsfree socket and I gave
up looking for headphones and soldered my own 2.5 plug on. If the OP is
still around, SE P900 accessories might help you in your quest. Mostly they
are handsfree kits of course but you never know - you might find something I
didn't.

Thankyou. I did fail to mention the holes in my Mother's Axminster carpet I
made whilst getting used to soldering with eye issues (I missed the heat
resistant pad and holder when I put the iron down - so I pulled the sofa
forward by two inches to cover the misdemeanor and as far as I know, she
never found out !), some years ago now, but if you don't tell anyone else I
admitted that, nobody else will know. :-)
