why can't I listen to my mp3 or the audio of videos with only my HPB-10 (SE wired headset)? Has anybody else tried this? Is it only my phone?

I can only listen via the stereo headphone output at the upper left of my phone using the included headset

this is one thing i hate about SE .. they do not sell the stereo headset seperately..because i lost my one..so now i have to go and beg the SE centre just to knick one from a box

What about this Musawi:

I plugged in a headset that I bought a while ago and used an adapter and it worked fine. How are you trying to connect the headset to the phone? This is not uncommon in many devices that require headphones. Especially Sony when using Sony gear. I would find the proper adapter and give it a try.

couldn't you just use an adapter for it? or there are plenty of third party gear for it.

For SE headsets the you plug on the bottom of the phone you can only use them for handsfree calls. Mp3 and audio from music you can only listen to them from the upper left jack.

There is an adpater for sale you can get it here:
