Anyone in the market for one of these have a look at Plantronics / Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 / 906.
Nokia BH 505 also works like a charm. added advantage is that they come with splash proof earbuds. means u can also use them while jogging or in slight drizzle. all media buttons function well.. At 47 euros they are worth the money.
Like the title says, I'm looking for a stereo headset (in which I can plug in my own headphones)
