Hey guys I am looking for a good set of ear buds for my 8100. I have found some online but would like some really nice ones. Any suggestions? I have seen the jaybird bluetooth ones for $129 but dont really dont want to spend that much. Would like to spend around $50 to $60

The stock head phones really are cheap and dont stay in my ears.

Have you tried with the foam covers? It will make them a little tighter.

Ya still hate them. With the way the Mic hangs it will fall out of my ear! Does anyone know of an adapter that will work so I can use the SkullCandy ear buds I have?

I just purchased an adapter that goes from 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female on eBay the other day with a pair of skullcandy earbuds for $20.

but, since the board here won't actually let me help you out... all I can really say is, just do a search for 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and browse away. Either Google or simply eBay will work.

Just make sure the order of the sizes is as I gave it or it will lead to more frustration.

I did buy one of those adapters from radio shack and they still dont work. Is there a special kind I need to buy? Do I need the 3 or 2 ring adapter?

The adapter from Radio Shack will not work. The Pearl will not output through the 2.5mm port unless it detects a microphone or a 1.4K Ohm load on pin 1 and 4. Check out this link.

If you are looking for a decent pair of earbuds, I bought this pair of Samsung from Amazon. They have very good sound and stay in my ears.
