anybody got one?
what headphones do you use?
I find that standard ones that come with the phone a bit crappy.
Any suggestions on better ones?

Not got the phone but if you're looking for a decent pair of earphones then it's all about drivers and the fit. Both hike up the price so it really is "you get what you pay for."
Personally I can't see the point in getting triple driver earbuds to listen to music from your phone where the .mp3s probably won't be ripped in a lossless format so I'd look for duel driver models like the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi Pro series, which are duel driver, noise isolating and have different sized buds so you can find the best fit. They cost about ?150ish. If you don't want to pay that much look for the Shure se210 buds. They're only single driver buds but the sound is -apparently- great and you get the different sized buds. They're about ?75 on amazon. Anything cheaper and you're not going to get much improvement from the ones that came with your phone/ipod etc.

Before any clever dick points it out, I know all .mp3s are lossy anyway! I meant that not many of us will rip music in lossless apple format or FLAC, for instance.
