any one no where i can get some decent headphones for the psp... i would like to keep the remote part and just get the small headphones.. any ideas?
If you want ear-bud style ones then Sennheiser MX550s would be a good choice. They are an open design so you can still hear whats going on around you. If you want total noise isolation then have a look at Shure's offerings.
Sony Ex71SL 's are a awsome quality earbuds but they are the proper in ear type. One thing you mentioned is that you wanted to keep the remote the Ex71's come with a detachable extension that you can remove if you want to use a remote with them, and they are waay cheaper than any of Shure's offerings.

the ones that come with the psp are the worst ever.... limited to 90db.... can hardly hear any movies that are played, music is ok .. but like i said cant hear the movies.. i will have a look at whats been offered..
you can use any earphones with a standard jack with the remote (it doesn't use the mini jack that was popular with the earlier batch of sony minidisc/CD player remotes.
You must be half deaf if you can't hear movies using the bundled ear phones, mine are quite loud enough especially if you change the UMD volume to +2 in the movie settings.
my headphones suck, listening to my psp using my brothers (jap) headphones and its much louder... not sure if mine are busted or just if jap ones arnt limited, either way i need a new pair! I'm gonna wait and see what the ones which come with the w800i are like, should save a few pennies if i dont need to buy another pair!
I use Etymotic ER6i earbuds. They're isolating so you never hear outside noise and the sound quality is pretty good. They're a bit expensive though, I paid $115 USD for them but I needed the isolation feature and I have a very discerning ear.
