6230 Headphones - replacement?

Hi all

I just can't get on with the little bud earphone things that come with the
6230 - the little blighters just won't go in my ears.

Is there any way to connet "proper" headphones to the pop-port so that I can
listen to the radio and MP3s?

TIA

Phil

Are you wearing them right?
See my post 'Maybe I'm just a bit thick...' today in this NG. ;-)

There are several places that offer mods to add a standard headphone jack to
the headset.
Sorry I don't have any URLs to hand, but if you 'Ask Google' you should be
able to find something useful.
I haven't done it, but is is apparently quite easy to open the microphone up
and do this yourself. Obviously I take no responsibility if you try this and
bu**** up your headset. ;-)

Cheers,

ChrisM

I'll be interested to hear if anyone has any luck with this and any URL's
too if you have them

my ears are far too big for these tiny headphones (
