Hi!
Is there a headset-Adapter with Micro-Support available (2x 3,5mm Connectors, one for speaker, one for micro) available? I do not want do solder.
Another question:
I have an old Siemens Bluetooth-Headset. Its working fine with the integrated Phone-Application but not with Skype, SJPhone, MediaPlayer,...
Any solution available?
Regards,
Johannes

I dont understand your question. The hermes comes with a wired headset. Besides, the headset connector is not a standard jack. so you have to solder anyway.
Ok, one more try.
i am not happy with the original headset. I have a great sennheiser Headset (for the pc with 2x 3,5mm jack) and i want to use this headset with my TyTN.
There are adapters on the market with one 3,5mm connector (for speakers) so maybe there is also an adapter with 2x connectors available to use also the micro.

I got a mini USB to mini headset adaptor for my wife's RAZR and it works well on the RAZR. I haven't tried it on my Cingular 8525 yet, but I'm guessing it will work fine. I got it off of eBay for a few bucks.
The headset that comes with the unit is actually pretty nice. It has the wires to deal with, but it has decent quality and nobody has complained about my voice being underwater or sounding like a speakerphone when I talk on it.
I also use the default headset to listen to MP3's using Windows Media Player (stored on the 1GB micro SD card). The music comes through fine in stereo, and when the phone rings, WMP auto-pauses and the headset starts working in phone mode, taking the mono signal and splitting it to both ears. And when I hang up from the phone call, my song resumes right where it was paused without me having to hit PLAY.

Good idea, Music Man!
I found it for just $7 with free shipping - http://www.emtcompany.com/products/adapters/cnyv3to3-motorola-razr-v3-to-35mm-headphone-adaptor.htm
Just ordered, don't know if will work with the Hermes (my 8525) but I figure why wouldn't it...
It will not work because the Hermes and Trinity use a strange hybrid connector with extra pins for the headset.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280439
Yeah, I actually tried the RAZR adapter at the local Cingular store on my TyTN. And it does NOT work.

If it doesn't work, like others claim, I will buy it from you for the price you paid for it. My wife needs another adaptor for her razr phone. Send me a PM or email.

Martin fields apparently says theirs is compatible with the Dopod 838 Pro (HTC Hermes).
Might wanna give it a shot.

Hi, I have bought it last week and confirm it is working great!
Great stuff. Thanks for the confirmation.
The Martin Field (http://www.doml.com.sg/productdec.as..._dash&pid=2698) sure looks to me like an adapter for stereo headphones (no microphone) with 3.5 mm jack. The following looks like a an adapter for a mono headset (microphone and single earphone) with a 2.5 mm jack:
http://igonemobile.com/products/html/61315310.html
I haven't tried it, but am considering.
Thought of Bluetooth headphones?
On top of having a Jabra bluetooth for use in the car and other places, I just purchased two Jabra BT620 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets from Amazon (only $37 a piece) for my wife and I. These are rechargeable and stereo via bluetooth! The cool part is that they also have a built-in microphone so if I get a phone call and I accept the call (either via a headset button on the headset or via the phone, the music automatically stops and the phone can be answered. It's kind of weird to hear a phone call in stereo, but both the speakers and mic works great!
Of course, all the controls for listening to music are there ... play & pause, fast forward/backward ... volume ... answer call ... etc.
We even purchased a small bluetooth adapter so she can use her headset with her iPOD too (I use my phone as my all purpose device, including a MP3 player).
Anyways, these are fantastic for the price. Sure, the Motorola version of these are sweet, but at over twice the price, I'd expect it to be that way!
I hope this helps!

Hi all.
Shure will be releasing their new "I" series this week. Apparently they will have several models that will meld high quality stereo earbuds with a mic. Shure says that the single plug 2.5mm model will work with the Treo, but no mention of other 2.5mm devices.
Anyone care to comment on whether they will work on the Wizard? I hope so since I don't want to be relegated to using the stock headphones/mic that came with the device.
TIA!
Shure's response on I-Series
My email to them:
I own an i-mate JAM Windows Mobile Pocket PC which has a 2.5mm 4-conductor
headset jack. Will your Treo version of the I Series work with my phone,
and if not, is there an adapter I can purchase?
Their response:
The Treo version will not work with the PPC. Here is the adapter:
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...ccessories-Audio+Adapters~item~PPCPADPT14.htm[/url]
You will then use our I series DUAL connector version with the adapter giving you phone and stereo music with a flick of the switch through your PPC. If you then have a separate mp3 player you can then use the one side of the I series for music and then plug the phone side into your phone without the adapter to take a phone call. The above adapter gives you phone and stereo music or you can eliminate the adapter for just phone calls and free up the headphone jack for another device. Thanks!
Shure I Series with Treo Connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT)
The Shure I Series with the Treo connector works on my i-mate JAM.
Seidio sells an in-the-ear headset w/ mic. The same model number (BD3-H2ERNTR650-BK) is sold for use with
Palm Treo 650 / 700w
Audiovox SMT 5600
HP iPAQ hw6500 Series
i-mate Jam / SP3 / SP3i / PDA2
MDA II / Compact
O2 XDA II / IIi / II mini
Orange SPV C500 / M1000
Qtek 8010 / S100 / S110 / 2020 / 2020i
So I thought it was fairly safe to order the Shure i2cT for my JAM. As I said, they work. I even left myself a message on my home phone to test the mic. It works. And the sound is fantastic. I've sampled a little of everything and I am very impressed (Biggie Smalls, Cracker, Thievery Corporation, Miles Davis, Devin the Dude).
The only drawback is that there is no answer/end call button (there is a microphone mute switch and a volume control).
I'm not sure if your device is listed above (or a clone), but if so, I would imagine the Shure I Series with the Treo connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT) would work for you.
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
You have to use the buttons on the phone to answer/end calls. Some headsets have a button on the in-line mic that you can press to answer an incoming call, saving you from having to pull the phone from your pocket. The Shure I Series does not have this button.
I wonder if this one would work with the 8125?

MDash,
Here is the response I got from Shure:
Hi Stephanie,
Our I series will be compatible with your Wizard. However, there will be some limitations.
The single jack version we have for smartphones is only completely compatible with the Treo 700W and 650.
The dual jack version is the one that will work with your Wizard. It is a stereo headset that is designed to work with two different devices at once - a cell phone and an mp3 player.
You can use the headset with your phone and answer calls, text message, etc. All of it's functions. You will also be able to listen to music via your phone. BUT...Here is the limitation - the audio will only be able to work in a mono sound for both ears. So you will hear the music in both ears, but it won't be true stereo.
The other jack, which fits iPods and DVD/CD players, etc. will work just fine on every portable device. You can listen to your music and as soon as a call comes in you just switch the headset to your phone and talk.
Hope this clears things up for you.
Best Regards,

You say that yours sounds great, but that you just cannot answer a call with the button. Why is this rep giving me a different story. Do they just not have it together over there?
Well, I'm looking at getting some shure headphones to work with my Wizard and would really like for the sound to be stereo. I need to know if the Treo compatible version will produce stereo sound with a Wizard. The Shure site says the Treo version is Wizard compatible... If it is not then I might as well get the dual connector version and a 2.5-3.5mm adapter.
I dislike headphones not having a volume control so the standard shure E2C are not an option.

I have the Sure i2C-t and it works great with my 8125 - no adapter - definitely gives stereo sound (Beatles songs are a good test for this) - the sound is awesome, and it works well for making and receiving calls also, except for having to push the buttons on the phone, as mentioned.

I want to plug in a set of speakers with a 3.5mm stereo jack to my K-Jam/XDA Mini S. What adapter do I need to use and would somewhere like Maplin carry one ? It's purely so that the stereo plays properly I am not interested in it being able to use the microphone.
TIA, DBo.
I got a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter for my speakers. I got it from Maplin - £1.06
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=3.5mm adapter&ModuleNo=1144&doy=20m4
The Seidio one is the neatest, but not cheap, and I don't know anybody on the UK who sells them.
http://www.seidio-europe.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=94
I have both the maplin one and the Seidio one. The maplin one is very bulky and if you knock it you could possibly damage the 2.5mm socket.
I had the same problem and ended up getting this one. It works great with any headset and it has the program button that the original head set had. It even retracts.

Just bought this one from HK...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8818811804
This boyo allows you to use any headphones of your choice and includes microphone and volume control. Bought this from HK and will probably arrive in around a week. Have bought a similar device for my nokia 9300 which worked absolutely fine except i refused to buy a memory card for it, so that went more or less straight into my 'wires, odds & sods' desk drawer.

What do you mean by "retracts" ? How does it exactly retract? It is stated on their web site too, but there are no pictures..

Serena , can you tell me what store that is (I got one by MediaMarkt but it does not fit)
Gents I have bought the same thing here int the US but I have noticed that the sound quality is not the same. I was told that since the 2.5mm has 3 rings on it that when I try to adapt it to a 3.5mm most only have 2 rings. Has anyone noticed this and has anyone found a soloution?
2.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo adapter
I have bought a number of these on eBay - inexpensive but quality is fine. I prefer type that has a short connector cord, rather than the fat dongle that sticks way out.
Just do an eBay search for "2.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo adapter" to find current listings.
It definitely does provide stereo.
I think the issue with the 3 rings vs. 2 rings has more to do with microphone function.
I also have a wonderful set of speakers with microphone - the Shure e2c-t - really incredible stereo sound - they are in-the-ear type with dual speakers in each ear - very nice quality unit with thick sturdy cable.
I bought "3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adapter with Built-In Mic & Answer Button" from PPCtechs. The link is:

No... I've been searching high and low. I've got a pair of Shure headphones that are amazing and have the 2.5mm 3-pole connector that works perfectly with my HTC Magician... I'd love an adaptor to just run them with my Tytn, but so far no luck.
Currently, I'm using a 3.5 adaptor and then another adaptor to the ExtUSB connector, so I've got no mic capability and two dodgy connectors between my 100 GBP headphones and my phone!!!
I'm going to take my Shures to an electronics guy and have him swap the connector eventually.

this is where our stores get their accy's from, you can get allot of good stuff here.

if you have a bussiness/Tax/reseller liscense (mispelled) then you can buy from here.
With the risk of a "me too" post, a 2.5mm converter would be worth money to me. I have yet to find one anywhere and am about to buy an extra headset and start "experimenting" and who know where that will lead. Probably to a new phone.
I emailed HTC America and got this reply...
Hello Michael and thank you for contacting HTC America. Unfortunately we do not make any accessories other than what is included with the device. There are some 3rd party vendors that do offer this accessory however; they are not affiliated with HTC. Please see the following link for one of them:
http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/emu-headset-adapter.html.
Thanks,
HTC Support
I have one on order. I'll let you know if it works.

Hope?
Hi Michael --
Please let us know if this does work. This would be a great fall-back adaptor to use if/when my BT headset runs out of juice.
Thanks,

I just finished my request to HTC support. These devices do NOT work. No audio what so ever. I tried regular audio as well as the audio of a call. Nothing-nada. The adapter is stamped as "Motorola" on the back. Apparently the HTC version of the USB plug is not the standard "EMU" version that everyone else is using.
Michael
Ugh, why didn't they just add a standard 3.5mm headphone jack? That would have made everyone's lives a lot easier.
I just bought the Motorola adapter, ended up wasting $5 (not a lot, I know, but hey, it's money).
Maybe I should try for a refund...
If anyone knows any adapters that work with the Hermes/TyTN, I would love to know.
Well, I finally found an option that will work for me. My motorcycle has a 2.5mm plug for hooking a cell phone into the intercom system (it's a gold wing) It also has a 3.5mm plug for an aux device to the stereo. I got the moto hf820 from amazon for around $45. It is a bluetooth hands free device, but it also has a 2.5mm plug on it. So, the phone section of my 8525 now connects to the bluetooth 820 into the intercom through it's 2.5mm plug. For the rest of the audio, I am using one of the extusb to 3.5mm adapters. That way I'll be able to get my gps directions over the stereo. That is a long way around to do it, but the 820 seems to work out pretty well as a 2.5mm adapter.

Holy ****, what a rube goldberg device!!!! But, I like your ingenuity. I ride myself (BMW GS) and so I just may try to cobble together something similar to yours...
However, most people want the wired headset so that they don't have to rely upon bluetooth. I want a fall-back headset.
To be honest, I found the perfect BT headset, and so I'm not sure if I need a wired connection anymore. I bought a jawbone and have been using it for 2 months. I like it so much, I bought a *second* one for when I run down the batteries on the first one, I can just use that one. Sure, it costs me $120 a pop, but after using 6 different bluetooth headsets over the last few years, this is the first one where people can't tell that I'm on a headset. Yes, it's that good.

That it is! I have the Kennedy CellSet (www.cellset.com) on my goldwing that integrates the cell phone as if it is a 3rd party on the intercom. Makes it kind of nice because either me or my wife can take a call while we are riding if needed. Anyway, I had the adapter for a 2.5mm plug and they don't make an adapter for the extusb of the HTC so hey, this works. Not only that, the GPS audio and the phone audio are on two different channels on the bike now. Worked out pretty good.
Hi there!
I'm interested in that problem too. So is there an adapter what is working, and tested yet?
If not, maybe we should try to cut down one ExtUSB to 3,5mm adapter and cut down the 2,5 mm side of the headset, and then maybe it can be built together, and we have a headset, with ExtUSB port.
Is it a possible way? Maybe any alternatives? God I'll be really happy if we can do something to do with this

2.5 and 3.5 fix for USB
I too have an expensive Shure headset with a 2.5 connector that I used on my Cingular 8125. I just moved to a Cingular 8525 e/w the ExtUSB connector.
I have been working with the tech support guys at Shure and we have sort of a fix. My Shure headset has a Mic so it needs a 4 conductor cable and the corresponding 4 wire jacks to carry voice to the handset. BIG issue. None of the current connectors (Ext USB to 2.5 or 3.5) carry the 4th wire! They will carry audio out over the 3 wires. . . stupid I guess.
So Mobile Planet and others now have a TyTN (Titan) Cingular 8525 cable adapter that is made by ORA and has its own mic, and answer/hangup control and ends in a 3.5 jack for a headset (3 wire). This means that if you have a 2.5 jack on your headset you need another adapter to reduce the 3.5 to a 2.5 (+/- $10.00 US).
Then you use the mic in the adapter. This is a real mickey mouse rig but it works and you do not have to buy another very expensive headset. You just cannot use the mic in your expensive headset! The cable is also a little long since the adapter's cable is about 20".
If you are thinking of buying a good wired headset then use the ORA adapter (Shure is about to come out with one also) and a standard Shure 3.5 headset like the SE series ($150+) which has a shorter cable. The two work nicely together. It is what I am using now. see link below:
(http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Earphones/SEModels/index.htm)
but they really really work well . . . and are worth the $$s
However, does anyone know if the HTC P3350 W100 Wired Remote Control(http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=145859) will work on an Cingular 8525?

Hello,
From the searches I have done on here and other forums to include cell phone stores, I can't seem to find any information pertaining to USB headphones. Basically my question is: Are there any reasonably priced headphones that directly plug into the usb port (without any adapters or mini jacks as the plug)?
Thanks.
HTC headphones
http://store.wmexperts.com/htc-stereo-headset/11A29A1450.htm
For 15 bucks you get something from HTC that's workable until you find what you really want. Decent music quality. No adaptor needed.
It is funny you post this. I was just searching for some today and I purchased these.
If you search OEM Heaphones Fuze on eBay, you can find some for $10 shipped.
i have a sprint TP and DL the fuse FM radio app and it says that the phone uses the headphones as an antenna. mine does not work, you think with the fuse headphone it would??
USB Headphones - Not all work?
Are there different types of mini-USB headphones?
I just purchased a pair of Motorola "Stereo Headset with Enhanced Mini USB Connector" headphones that do not work when plugged into my fuze.
However, I went and found the old headphones from my Dash and plugged it in and it works.
Both have the phone/music switch.
Why would one work and other not? The shape of the of the jack on the old set just a little different that the Motorola's which look like a fat little "t" and is the same shape as all the connector wires and charging wires I am using. The shape of the jack on the old ones, however, does match the shape of the fuze jack.
Sorry if this is an obvious questions, but what am I missing? What do I need to look for when purchasing earphone/headset?
I have answered my own question. HTC is using a proprietary form of USB...extUSB. It combines audio and data, so you can use regular mini-USB for everything except audio. This bugs me. why do you take something that is supposed to be "universal" then make it proprietary. So now I gotta look for and buy special headphones.
bluetooth headset
I personally use the bt3030 bluetooth headset from jabra. Full stereo use any regular headphones you like. I use the stock ear buds works fine. These work for phone calls sprint nav as well as full stereo from mp3's basically any audio can be funnelled into these. cost around 80 bucks.

You can get the 3030's from newegg for 40 shipped in bulk packaging. Work great and no need to plug them into the phone since they are bluetooth. Give you the ability to answer phone, have remote, and listen to music. I love them. Got some skull candy headphones for 10 bucks from marshalls to replace the stock headphones they came with.

Yes, I know that there is a 3.5mm dongle which I already have, but I am not asking about that.
How about Bluetooth. No wires, ya know.
No FM radio without a wired set either. Thanks though. Again, I'm asking for wired mini-usb headset options out there.
i have the in-ear buds, got em from ebay for 8 bucks, they arent bad, but not the best quality either. a lot better than the oem ones in my opinion

Yeah, sorry about that one. I found it out the hard way. Didn't know you had to have wired for FM. Oh well. New device, still learning.
One option is to get the cheapy ones off eBay for the wiring and then dismantle the ear phones. You can then attach a nicer set of phones that will give better quality. Here's a link, http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-replace-the-iphone-headset-s-earphones-238810/. I have done this before with good success.

That's what I'm looking for as well. I have my USB headset from my Kaiser, however, it will NOT work with the FM radio. Apparently there's some wiring required in the headset to utilize it as an antennae that my old headset just simply does not have.
I'm hoping someone to point me in the direction of a USB headset that they own that DOES work with FM radio. I really don't want to have to keep buying them in hopes that they work. LOL! If they're in the ear (as in extended, not those shallow type that sits just over the ear canal -- those keep falling out of my ears) earbuds, that'd be a HUGE plus!
Thanks, peeps!

I have these http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-stereo-headset/11A29A1450.htm and they work fine w/ FM radio and everything else. You can find them on
ebay for cheaper. Here is another one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/h2ern11p-bkg.htm
Those Seidio ones look like just what I've been looking for, although I'm not all that fussy about whether they retract or not. Unfortunately, they're much more expensive than I'm willing to pay right now, so if any one knows of a set that looks like those *and* works with FM radio, point this sister in the right direction, please!
Thanks so much for the information, mykwalkr!!!

htc cord/panasonic headphones
i use the htc headphones adapter made for the google phones that I bought at the tmobile store. they have a microphone built in. then I got a really nice pair of Panasonc headphones (thx7 in red) that have a really great sound. I roled the cord up and attached the adapter and now I have the best headset headphone system ever! the voice quality is incredible and the music is exquisite.
this cord is only $10 bucks and the headphones were $35 including shipping. radio works. Pandora even sounds good.
Just a nitpick - please stop calling them USB headsets. Call them ExtUSB headsets, as there is a MASSIVE difference.
HTC's ExtUSB connector is a superset of the mini-USB connector that adds standard analog audio lines. There is no such thing as a "USB headset" for HTC WM devices, as none of them support USB host mode.

Got any pics of the adapter that you could post... Is it bulky?
