Skull Candy?

I find the fidelity of most hands-free cellphone headsets abysmal, plus, they only play in one ear, so they are impossible in a noisy environment. Why can’t I just plug in my stereo headphones? It turns out I can. This thing is actually meant to let you listen to music and be on the phone at the same time, which is too new a trick for this old dog, but it does let me use my headphones on my cellphone, and the fidelity is quite good.
