How to use a normal stereo headset with the Blackberry Pearl 8100

I purchased a Blackberry Pearl about 3 months ago, and have been really happy with it--with one big exception: the device has a proprietary headset jack, and the stereo headphones (earbuds) that ship with the device don't have the best audio quality--music is muffled and they don't have the greatest high-end range.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to use one of the new Jabra Bluetooth stereo headsets with the Pearl, but the Pearl doesn't currently support the required Bluetooth profile (A2DP) to make them work (hopefully a device update will fix this problem in the near future).

In the meantime, the best solution is to purchase a $15 adapter from eAccess Solutions that will convert the proprietary 4 conductor, 2.5mm Blackberry jack into a standard 3.5mm headset jack. The adapter has one other cool feature--it also has a microphone and answer button, allowing you to take calls when they come in with the same headset.

This adapter will be on my list of "must have" accessories until such a time as I can use a wireless stereo headset!
