Summary: Alternate product
Comment: After reading the reviews on the hybrid headset and searching around the web. I took a chance on a set of headphones that I found at Staples of all places. They were $9.99 and I didn't have to wait for shipping they are actually for the HP IPAQ, but they work brilliantly with the TREO 650. I plugged them in and the sound quality is excellent, it is awesome stereo sound, and even though it's not meant to, you can receive calls in stereo using the headset. The phone reacts as if you are on speaker, so you will need to have the phone fairly close by. The best part is, I didn't have to wait for shipping. Whether this product lists TREO as one of the compatible products I wouldn't know. I figured for $10 I couldn't lose because it has an adapter included so that you can also use the headphones as a stand alone product, or use the adapter with any other headphones you wish. If you want some awesome headphones, try the IPAQ headphones. I would rate them with 5 stars!
Customer Rating:
Summary: crappy sound and unreliable
Comment: If you plan to sit perfectly still while listening to music and don't mind lousy sound quality, this unit is for you. If you hoped to utilize the all-in-one, portability aspect of the Treo to its fullest by, say going for a jog or riding a bike, or if you just want your music to sound decent, look elsewhere. (Though I don't know where that might be as of yet.)
After about 1 week, one of the earpieces properly functions only intermittently. I find it exceedingly annoying that the company that manufactures the Treo and markets the device based in part on its versatility and ability to "take your music anywhere" makes only one model of stereo headset, and that the model they do make is overpriced, not dependable and poorly engineered.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not comfortable or reliable
Comment: I thought I had big ears, but the diameter of the headphones are bigger than the entrance to my ear canal, even with the foam pads removed. Since they are solid plastic (not rubberized), they aren't very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
They also aren't very reliable. When inside my jacket pocket, while sitting on the train, the jack can come loose from the socket on the bottom of the treo 650, which causes either channel of audio to be lost completely, or causes the music to skip around.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A reasonable set of headphones and a reason why one cord is longer
Comment: The cord attached to the right earpiece is longer because it is actually meant to rest against the back of your neck.
This insures that they will not fall to the ground when you take them out of your ears. Instead they will simply hang from your neck.
(Yes I used a kiddy review, but I just HAD to explain this. ;) )
Customer Rating:
Summary: weird cord length
Comment: i'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that the earpieces are not equidistant from the center wire. it's very awkward that the right earpiece is approx 12-15inches long meanwhile the left earpiece is like 6 inches long. it makes your head lopsided and looks absolutely ridiculous. i know this doesn't affect the actual performance but it is a flaw nonetheless.

Consolidate your audio listening and phone call handling into a single headset with a hybrid headset/headphones unit from Palm. An omni-directional electret condenser microphone lets you speak clearly while the 96dB dynamic receiver helps you hear crystal clear audio from your favorite tunes -- or your phone calls -- in noisy rooms. Plus, the durable, break-resistant cord is designed to last. Meanwhile, a handy push-to-answer button right on the cord means you won't even have to touch the phone to answer a call.
