Hi All,

Now that (beta) OS 3.0 supports A2DP, I've been on the hunt for a great set of BT stereo headphones. Found the Sony-Ericsson HBH-IS800's and thought I'd give 'em a try. To those who are not aware of these headphones, they are essentially earbuds that connect to each other with a thin wire, and that's all. The battery, the radio, etc. are all in the buds themselves, so the only thing on the short cord is the microphone with a multifunction button. Very slick!

Anyway, they sound awesome, but they don't have local volume controls and the iPhone's volume slider doesn't appear to work when routing audio to a BT stereo headset. Is anyone else noticing a similar issue whereby the volume slider moves but doesn't affect the volume when routing audio to BT headphones?

I'd really love to keep these headphones, but not if there's no way to adjust the volume.
