One head phone was working but the other wasn't and I couldn't figure out why. So I cut out the soldered connection on the headphone that wasn't working and tried it again. I tried my best to separate the two strands and to make sure there was good contact when I soldered them. But, the headphone still wouldn't work. Now i had a set of Palm headphones that only had one headphone working...in the trash they went waiting for the Treo Pro to come out. Can't wait for some 3.5mm goodness...
There's a huge thread on treocentral on doing the mod on the stock headphones and converting them to a 3.5mm adaptor, folks are doing it by dime and dozen.
