I switched from the Storm to the Tour today (how many VZW customers will be saying that in the coming weeks??!?). With the Storm I could use any standard set of headphones (without a mic attached) and hear music. This Tour won't recognize any set of headphones lacking a mic, but works with a set of "body glove" mic/stereo headphones I bought to use while bike riding (both kinds, they make good earplugs while on a motorcycle, BTW). Anyone else try a standard set of headphones and experience the same issue? Is it time for a cool set of bluetooth cans for the subway?
Holy impulse buy, Batman! A Motorola S7HD Stereo Bluetooth Headset will be on my ears within a week, so since I answered question #2 for myself, the answer to my first question is diminishing rapidly...
I'm using my shure e3c's and they work just fine. I saw a post about someone who had to swap out their device because of a faulty headphone jack - you might want to get a new one.
That is a little disheartening. iPod headphones were the second standard set I tried. Still looking forward to untethered listening over a trip to the Verizon Store.
