All I want is a hands-free wired headset that has extra controls for music on it - so I can skip songs or change volume without pulling my phone out of my pocket or the pouch I have for it. I'm not even asking for Bluetooth! As far as I can find out, Bose makes a set, but they work ONLY for iPhone, and Blackberry has a set but they ONLY work with the BlackBerry O/S plus they're the in-the-ear-canal type that really hurt my ears. I found a very few more, but they all ONLY work with iPhone.
If any of y'all know different, I'd sure appreciate a heads up!

I finally gave up on trying to find a wired one to do what I want, and bought a reasonably priced refurbed set of bluetooth headphones for about 60% less than new would cost me. It was the same price as a new wired set from El Cheapo Chinese Manufacturer, did everything I wanted it to (and more, which was a pleasant surprise) and had the same warranty as a new set. Also, refurbs are environmentally friendly- you're not producing anything new, and you're not chucking out something that can be repaired.
I'll tell ya, you get a good wireless set and you'll never ask for wired again.
I got Sony DT-BR22 headphones, and they not only work with my LG phone, but with my bf's phone, my PC, and my iPod Classic (with bluetooth dongle). Best part- dual-device pairing. I discovered rather by accident that I can pair it with my iPod for music, and pair it with my phone for talking at the same time. It'll automatically switch from the music to the call and back again without a hitch. Good battery life, too- I highly recommend them if you can lay your mitts on a pair for cheap.
