The geekiest headphones ever?

I lost my phone headset on a recent business trip and had the bright idea to search out a combo headset that would work for the music player and cell phone simultaneously. Enter the Skullcandy SCE-3b. This may qualify as the geekiest thing I've owned. Not sure.

One set of earbuds. A thumb-sized thingie that carries the microphone, a button, and a volume control, oh and a skull logo thrown in. Two plugs, one 2.5mm for cell phones, on 3.5mm for music player. And way too much wire in between.

The things work. The button causes my Samsung A670 clamshell phone to answer an incoming call or activate voice dialing for outgoing call. The volume control only affects the music player.

Will have to see how this works out. Off on another business trip next week.
