Axim headphones

[zlarson]

i have been using my X5 as an mp3 player on the way to class. i was wondering if anyone has heard of or seen headphones with a volume control and possibly a way to change songs built into it? i know there are some for iPods, I didnt know if it had to be a built in thing or if the headphones would work with any device.

you're pretty much out of luck as far as changing songs since you'd need a non-standard device that could send control signals back to the player and therefore also a non-standard plug (which the axim doesn't have)

volume control can be done, though, since it's just modifying the signal going through (generally with a variable resistor). and I have a package of earphones that do it - panasonic RP-HV162. they were actually the cheapest earphones I could find (I wasn't even looking for volume control), less than $10 cdn. I also have a cheap pair of jensen headphones I got a couple years ago that have their own volume control.
