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.
