Sony Ericsson introduces motion controlled earbuds
Sony Ericsson is introducing a feature it expects to become a standard in the earbud world: motion control. Pop the MH907 headphones into your ears and your music plays immediately. Pull 'em out and it stops — or you can pull out just one and take a call. Sony Ericsson calls it the 'SensMe' system, and it means you won't need any buttons at all.
Well, would this be a boon? An annoyance? It all depends on how reliable — or temperamental — the technology is. The MH907 earbuds will be available this week for $55, though it looks like you need a Sony Erisson phone with a "fast port" connector to get them to work right. Sony Ericsson has more info about compatibility on its website.

Um that's stupid- the mute button works fine. Not to mention the iPhone automatically stops playback when you unplug the headphones.

@Stan These stop when you pull them out of your ears, not unplug it from the player. Every MP3 player does that.
Still sounds a little dodgy right now and I would still use a bluetooth over these.

Sounds Great! But honestly an average joe would rather buy the 5 dollar pair that was just as good as quality as these. Do the math is it really worth the price? Cut the price in half and I might buy a pair. But until then I will stick to my cheap pair of headphones.

This is not a great idea IMO, I use headphones one ear style all the time because I actually want to hear if people are around me and if anyone is talking to me... if I were to take one out then it would be recognized as a phone and my music would stop playing...
thanks but no thanks
on your cellphone!
