I got an LG VX8500 aka, the chocolate and it is a surprisingly good mp3 player. The issue I'm having is that there is no convenient way to listen to this music that I'm aware of.

Currently, there is no 2.5mm or 3.5mm audio jack on this device. There is an included adapter that plugs into the phone charging/transfer jack that converts into a 2.5mm jack, but there is no charging/transfer -> 3.5mm adapter I am aware of.

Which brings up the possibility of blue tooth. Will any blue tooth headphone work with this phone?

so my choices are
1. using 2 adapters (charger/transfer -> 2.5mm -> 3.5mm)
2. using blue tooth.

what do you guys do?

no standard mini-jack? that's insane!!!! it's just another way they force you into buying there bluetooth and adapters!

i found this one thing 2.5 to 3.5 thing on google, it's not really that bulky or anything... how big is that minijack charge transfer thing??? purists will say wireless is the devil, but they work, i would do some research on the bluetooth if your concerned about quailty and life

Does it have any ports on the side that look like miniUSB ports? My Samsung D600 uses that kind of outlet for headphones.
