Looking for proper remote control for earplugs/headset

I'm really close to buying a Desire. The only thing stopping me is the lack of a proper remote control for pausing and skipping songs. I know the earplugs in the box have such a remote, but using those earplugs are out of the question.

I currently use a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It came with a remote control with just a hole for a 3.5mm jack, so I can use any headset and still have the remote available. Anyone know if such a thing exist that works on the Desire?

I'm actually considering modding the earplugs that come wiith the phone, by replacint the plugs with a female 3.5mm jack. Anybody tried that?

You could always try wireless control.

Like the Jabra stereo headsets STREET or CLIPPER. On both Bluetooth headsets you can hook up your own 3,5mm headset.

for example look here: http://www.mobielbereikbaar.nl/zoeken?search=Jabra bluetooth stereo

You can pick up a call and end a call ofcourse also skip tracks, play/pause and control the volume! More important bcuz it's Bluetooth it should work on any phone with Bluetooth and A2DP.

Anyone tried using the Nokia remote (with mic for h/f, play, pause, skip, etc) which is compatible with any 3.5mm jack headphones??

I'm with Havrenakke on the stock headphones. I prefer the "in the ear" noise cancelling type especially as I use the train to and from London EVERY day. Since this was posted (originally) in June, anyone know of any product updates since? I've had a scout about but with no luck.

I'm looking primarily for in the ear headphones that have mic and volume up/down at least. Full remote (and mic for h/f) would be the ideal solution.

Cheers!

I'm just using generic in-ear phones while commuting. Nothing too audiophile

I tried using the headphones and controller from an n95
 with no luck. Just a whole lotta silence.

Can't believe no one has come out with something decent. Pretty lame, after all the talk of being an iPhone killer.

For me, ES A320 stereo wireless headphones, Slender body, easy to carry, the appearance of concise and spell able keys type design
