Seems like a minor thing but the corded ear pieces I keep buying for the
cell phone keep going bad. Sick of being frustrated, so can anyone
recommend a got one that might last a few months or at least a place to buy
one?
Also, speaking of frustration, any places to buy low-cost batteries for
cordless phones that will last awhile? Or do you get what you pay for,
basically? Have had hit or miss - mostly miss - on Ebay.
Thanks
Randall
Which phone? Does it have a standard 3mm plug? 2mm? micro-USB? claw??
I have a device from Nokia that I really like. It has an On/Off button,
mic, volume control, clip, but no headphones. You plug ANY headphones
into it. I like my Sennheiser and Koss headphones. There are copies that
may work OK. Mine is OEM and works well. I got it from DealExtreme.
Headphones could be better, but mic is good. Works well when walking or
running.
This setup works well with phones that also have music so you can listen
to your music with good stereo headphones and still be able to answer
the phone. There are also short adapter cables you can buy for phones
that have different ports.

Buy two, just in case...
All Nokia phones have a place at the bottom where you can attach a
removable handstrap or lanyard. When driving alone, I usually wear my
lovely red phone around my neck. The phone rings--I answer it and turn
the loudspeaker on. Since the mic is at the bottom of the phone, the
phone is upside down, and the stereo speakers on on the side, I can
easily talk and listen completely 'hands-free'. Can you wear your phone?
Doesn't have to a red phone.

For batteries [mostly iPod], we've been using eforcity.com. They're an
Amazon store and have different merchandise at Amazon and at their own
site. Quality is OK.
Sometimes cordless phone batteries don't recharge well if they're not
placed exactly right on the cradle. Having to find specialty batteries
for multiple phones led us to buy a set of four Panasonic DECT6 cordless
phones that use standard AAA batteries, AND have good reception. I put
Duracell 900 mAh batteries in the phones so they hold a charge almost
twice as long as the OEM 550 mAh Panasonic batteries.
Phone is 2005 version of this phone, http://is.gd/BoFbSp- [Amazon],
which cost less!
