Ok, I need to get a replacement headset for my Imate pda2k.
I have 4 count em 4 that I have either purchased or had sent to me. NONE are for the pda2k. They all look like they would fit my old MDA II (which was stolen).
Where oh where can I get the headset that plugs into the top of my PDA2k?
Brian
I actually want to know if there is a better headset for PDA2k. The standard one that comes with the phone is crappy, the earplugs fall out.
Bluetooth is crap because only mono. If only my Shure E2c in-ear phones came in a headset version.
Maybe this can help you? It's something I use with my Shure e3c's and it works great with my XDA IIs

In the States you can buy them on evey street corner almost, I myself use This Jabra I bought it for my Moto v 551 but it works great on my SX66, and it works very well with MS Voice Command
Hi folks,
My O2 Mini S wired headset that came included with the phone died within a month of phone purchase. Actually, 1 speaker died, the other one still works and so does the mike. I use it inside a helmet while driving my motorcycle. I have 2 questions that I would like your help on:
1. Is there a generic replacement available for the standard wired headset, or do I have to buy one from O2?
2. If I choose to use a BT headset like the Jabra 500 or Plantronics 510, how good is the reception on a moving motorcycle (if anyone has done this before)? How long will the battery last with full time BT use? I'm on O2 AKU2 rom. Sadly, I haven't come across any stereo BT headsets that would fit inside a helmet. If you have, please point them to me.
Thanks,
Blokade

Why not just replace the earpiece I have done this several times dead easy with just a little soldering ,you could even replace them with decent earbud type.
got my 'replacement' for my headset

and its not the same one at all, but a better looking one
Hi All,
I bought a Jabra C220S and it doesn't work properly with my Wizard (Cingular 8125). The left ear has no sound and the mic doesn't work. I've read posts from several people that they have purchased 2.5mm 4 connector headsets and they have the exact same problem with their phone. I have a headset that came with my phone and it seems to have the same connector . . . . . In the attached picture the Jabra connector is on the left and my original stereo headset is on the right. the bases are slightly different, but the connector sure looks to be identical.
Two Questions:
1 - does anyone have a Jabra C220S that they are using with their Wizard?
2 - can anyone provide a rational why the Jabra C220S might not work with the Wizard?
Thanks for your expert-ness
Hi,
I want a headset for my Wizard that meet the following requirements:
1. SUPER sound quality.
2. 2.5mm jack - I don't want an adapter.
3. Prefered Mic.
4. Prefered Volume control.
Can anybody post any useful items??
P.S. : Does anybody sell original Wizard headsets with Mic (mine is O2 Branded and I live in the UK)????
Thanks,
Mohammad
i have a nokia hs-16 headset and i'm very enjoy it hs-16 has three different cable to connect to 3,5mm, 2,5mm and 2,5mm nokia jack. i used a 2,5mm nokia cable and mic works good with my wizard it only doesn't have volume control...
ps. sound quality is very good for me
Hey, Thanks
How does the sound quality compare to the original headset? and Where from did you buy it?
Cheers
well stupid answer, but have you not just tried the o2 shop mohammed, thats where i got my last one from, about four months ago
No, I haven't. but I will give it a try and repost the result here.
Cheers
well, I searched in O2 UK shop but I found only blueooth headsets for Wizard, can you provide me a link for the ones you got?
Thanks
Mohammad
i never found mine online, i went into the o2 store, i have checked online and ,like you , have only found bluetooth headsets. I have found a link here though
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10097.htm
it isnt the original o2 one, but it is Genuine i-mate JAM Stereo Personal Handsfree Kit
Yes, I've seen it.. I even found the original O2 ones, but the link is in my other computer..
but I am now searching for a Super quality 2.5mm headsets..
The only thing I saw in the market was the miniBuds Boxwave's headsets, but I don't know if anybody tried them?? are there any other brands?
I have a T-Mobile MDA and my headphones went dead a month or two ago. I just bought a replacement from e-bay. A simple search will bring many results. I think I paid about $5.

I bought from a seller called sami809
HS-47
I've just bought a Nokia stereo headset HS-47. It has a 2.5 mm jack, so I one can use it without adapter. The microphone and the answer button both do there job, but there is no volume control. The quality of the equipment is good, but the sound quality isn't that good. For a super sound I think you have to buy a HS-16.
bought what a seller told was an ome headset. got questions: im i suppose to hear from both left and right ear buds, and im i suppose to able to end or start accept call with the button next to the volume button onthe headset. wonder if i have open circuits on the headset jack on my wizard.
If you have the right headset, then you are supposed to hear from both left and right ear buds, answer incoming calls and end conversation by pressing the button next to the volume control.
If these are not the case, it doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong with your phone or the headset. It might be that they are not compatible. That would mean the one you got isn't an OEM piece, or maybe it's OEM, but intended for a different device.

Maybe the headset is the wrong color, no wait I know your phone hates you and is secretly plotting to drive you mad and have you committed to an insane asylem and then join with my phone in its plot to take over the world. or it could just be as simple as there is something wrong with the headset who knows about these things??
i would expect such flaming wise crack from a senior memeber ; )
I want to buy ultimate ears headset with built in microphone. Does anyone if they would work with x10 mini ? It says works with iPod, iPhone, MP3 players.
I'm guessing not, as the X10mini/pro headset has extra connectors on the side (hence the keyhole shaped earphone socket)
If you can try before you buy that would be your best bet. Ive tried many that wont play sound out of the headphones much less use the mics. It seems like A LOT of headphones especially ones with mics don't work with the phone.
I bought headset from mytrendyphone.co.uk. I bought Jabra BT3030 and its really a best buy.
It all depends on the wiring standard thats used on the TRRS mini jack..
I think this is how it is on the X10 (and also iPhone, HTC, Blackberry etc..)
1 Tip Left Audio Out
2 Ring 1 Right Audio Out
3 Ring 2 Ground
4 Sleeve Microphone Input\answer button
I know Nokia have pin 3 and 4 swapped around so wont work with the X10, and there may be more out there but I think most are trying to standardise to the above setup.. so you shouldn´t have too much trouble finding a headset to work with the X10 (just stay away from Nokia)
(the extra bits next to the mini plug are just for powering the SE portable speakers and other SE crap you will be able to buy.. nothing to do with headsets)

It doesn´t. The original SE headset that came with my X10 mini pro has absolutely normal connector (despite the fact that the socket on the X10 mini pro is keyhole shaped), and no functionality is lost.

Ahh, ok then. The headset that came with my X10mini (MH810) has the extra connectors, but also has an inline control (play/pause, next, prev, vol +/-), so perhaps the extra connectors drive those
Does anyone know a good headset like the MH810 that has music control and mic but also with removable headphones (normal mini jack)? would be nice to use over ear headphones in winter.. (was thinking of going for the MW600 BT, but would be happy with wired if anyone knows a good one?) needs to be able to change headphones.
I wanted to give these a shot :

They seem good quality, though a bit expensive, but don't know if they would work with the mini. I sent a mail to them asking if it would but didn't get any answer.

Looks like they come with a bunch of adaptors (to cater for all devices, even Nokia who went with a weird TRRS setup) so they should work on the mini.
I'm also pretty sure anything that will work for the iphone will work on the mini (same TRRS configuration) .. but I haven't tested this (it would certainly make it easier for us to find headsets) someone must have an iphone headset available to try out? so many sheep out there with those devices... (I'm living on the other side of the world at the moment to all my iphone junky friends so I can't test it myself )
Well, just got a mail from UrbanEars customer service :
Hi,
Thanks foru your mail. I´m sorry to say but Sony Ericsson Xperis X10 Mini is not compatible with Urbanears Medis.
Urbanears Medis is microphone and remote compatible with most devices from Nokia, Blackberry, HTC and iPhones.
So I won't buy them, don't want to take the risk even if there seems to be adapters.
Also, I bought UltimatEars headset with built in microphone (it says on the box it works with iPhone and most phones) and ... tada !! they don't work with the mini :-(
when I hook them up, the sound still just goes out the phone speakers, sound doesn't even come out of the headset.
So folks, I guess we're just stuck buying sony ericsson products when it comes to headsets.

weird.. I was pretty sure the pin outs were the same as iPhone (according to various sites I looked at) shows you can't believe everything you read on the intertubes! bloody sony! I guess the best thing would be to find a SE headset with mic/control and stereo headphone socket.. then you can use any headphones.. the only SE ones I have seen are for the old style (hot port?) plug like the K850/W800 etc.. I haven't seen one with a normal TRRS plug yet I just got a MW600 BT set so I can use some decent headphones over BT but would be nice to find a wired option too.
BTW apart from the song titles and caller id not showing up on the MW600 the sound quality is pretty amazing, and it auto switches from listening to music from the X10mini to Skype calls from the laptop, and visa versa.. and on Ubuntu too! sweeeeeet!
I am thinking of getting one of those, but in reality I hate having to charge the headset. how much autonomy do you get with a full charge ? how long is a complete charge ?

SE marketing claims about 10 hours Playtime/talk time and 520hrs standby! ... I only just unboxed mine yesterday so time will tell what the real world figures are.. (I mostly use it for music and not much for calls.. I hate looking like a **** talking to myself in public, but if I am driving, on the bike or skiing then headsets are o.k
I think full charge is a couple of hours.. and it comes with a wall charger (550mA) so thats my new phone charger next to the bed (as the Amperage delivered is better for the phone than the 850mA stock one) and it means the USB cable can stay with the laptop for charging both phone and headset when I'm traveling.
I'm pretty happy with the headset so far.. and if I eventually replace the X10 with something that supports track id and caller id over bluetooth.. then woot!
I have a set of these

they are the BOMB on x10mini
I have tried two iphone headsets they DO NOT work with mini. A lot of headsets don't in my experience. I wish the iphone headset worked because I like it more than the headset that came with the mini.
It actually doesnt even recognize them at all when you plug them in it continues to play sounds/music from the speaker.
I got HPM-60/J on ebay and they work(including mic).
Does anyone know earbud style (not noise cancellation) with mic that are Y shaped not around the back style(i dont know what its actually called but Se loves that kind)?
Basically I want iphone headset style that works on the mini.
The problem with iphone headsets in the X10mini is the Ground and Mic wire on the plug is opposite... so there is no ground wire for the headphones or mic, this means no sound can come out.
to make an adapter all you would have to do is chop the end off an old headset (either Sony or Iphone) with a few inches of cable to play with..
work out with a multimeter which pins are which cables T(tip)-R(ring)-R(ring)-S(sleeve) and solder on a TRRS socket (available from most good electronics shops) with the last Ring and the Sleeve reversed. (remember its tricky to solder this type of cable.. you need to scrape off some of the coloured insulation with a sharp knife or razor blade so the solder sticks to the bare copper)
if this is too difficult then buy a TRRS socket and TRRS plug from you electronics store and a piece of 4 core cable and join them (swapping the last Ring and Sleeve around)
I have seen the finished adaptors for sale online for about $15-$20 USD (might be worth the investment if you are not good with a soldering iron)

I had some hp headphones that used a seperate jack for the mike and they work perfectly with my mini pro as do all of the headphones I've tried it with.
But they might be different as the pro's headset that comes with no media controls except a button that will pause it.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
MH810 From SE are Great full Music control nice sound and CHEAP i love them!! better than the stock one
I plan to buy some cheap iphone mic headphones from ebay and mod it.
does anyone know the pin read outs on the sony plugs?
I just hate uing In-ear headphones for talking on skype. I can hear myself talking all the time.
I'll post pics of the mod here once i'm done.
