I searched and could not find my specific answer (or I didn't type the right search criteria)
Has anyone found, seen or heard of a stero USB headset for the TyTN yet?
OR
What has been the best personal audio option for this little gem?
Please tell me there is an audio option other than the Bluetooth headphones. I need them for the airplane flights.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
This seems to be the best solution...(Taken from another thread)

There is an alternative to an adapter. As they say on Blue Peter, here's one I made earlier.......

usb headsets...may need mini-usb adapter to work with TyTN
http://www.everythingusb.com/usb_headsets.html
Thanks for the replies!
Note, that TyTN does not use a USB headset. It is plain passive headphones.
The TyTN connector has 4 additional pins on the opposite plain of the standard MiniUSB connector. They are used for audio. Headphones are not connected to USB pins at all.
By the way, to use USB headsets with TyTN is impossible just because TyTN does not work as USB host.
Has any crufted an adapter that allows the use of normal 2.5mm cell-phone headsets to work with a TyTN. I like the fidelity of my awesome Plantronics headset, and I want to get it to work with the TyTN. Any luck?
Thanks,

Have you tried buying one from this site.

I just received mine last week and it works great, MUCH better than the stock headset.

Edit: "Sorry mis-read the topic, this is to a std 3.5mm headset jack."

Not a problem, but thanks for the referral and review anyway. I will probably go ahead and order one of those, too, but really, I just want a wired headset.
Thanks,

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.
I found the following mini-USB to 2.5mm adapter for the Motorola phones.
http://www.theboom.com/adaptors.html
Anyone know if its compatible with the HTC mini-USB implementation?

Nope, it wont work.
this is where our stores get their accy's from, you can get allot of good stuff here.
http://superiorcommunications.com/products/products.aspx
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.
Michael
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,
-Humbert
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
Could always try 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?

I'm interested in something like this. It says it works with three-connector 2.5mm jacks. Does this mean stereo headphones or mono headphones+mic? I want to have phone conversations so hopefully mono+mic.
Thanks!
Hi all, I seem to recall reading a post from someone who was suffering the same problem quite some time ago now, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
Basically my official HTC headphones worked well for a while, then I butchered them to solder on a 3.5mm female adapter. These worked correctly for some time then suddenly the headphone adapter miniUSB connection became a bit dodgy. One minute I'd be in work sneaking a quick episode of Kyle XY in, then suddenly the minutest touch of the mini-USB plug and sound is blaring out of the phone's internal speaker... not good! It would appear the connection of the miniUSB plug has become a little bit dodgy.
I've now bought a new miniUSB > 3.5mm female adapter from Expansys, and although better initially, the connection via the miniUSB jack is progressively getting worse. The slightest touch of the jack and sound is blaring out of the speaker. I'm assuming the contacts between the miniUSB jack and the phones' femail miniUSB connector are a little flaky for some reason.
Anyone have any experience of this, and any ideas how to resolve it?
open it up and learn how to solder..
if the contacts to the board are broken, solder them back. problem solved
if the jack itself is damaged, buy a broken 8525 or just the board, and switch the jacks. problem solved
help me out guys
i have just ran into a problem when i downloaded the new jfupdater update cupcake and now the headphone adapter doesnt work anymore can anyone help me out with this and let me know if they have ran into the same problem or if you have any ideas
I wonder if there's any adapter which would enable me to connect a standard 3.5 mm earphone jack to miniUSB port... I checked a few locan dealers and they haven't heard of anything like that
The earphones that came with htc are too big for my ears
USB to 3,5 mm Stereo

useful 3.5mm adapter
Hi guys,
I just bought a multifunctional adapter for my phone. This way, i can connect my Mogul to my sound system in my Smart Car. it's helpful. Here is the link from where I bought it:
http://www.moguldepot.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm
FYI, it seems to work for earspeaker; but, it doesn't seem to direct sound from loudspeaker applications.
If anyone know how to redirect loudspeaker to 3.5mm, let us know.

17 E?? for that tiny piece of cable? Excuse me, i don't want to buy a new phone. I think I'll just make an adaptor out of the headset. I'll remove the earbuds and attach a mother 3.5 stereo jack...

Try this
http://shop.brando.com.hk/3-5mm-earphone-adapter-handy-strap-htc-dopod_p02373c0413d001.html
The strap comes off and its a very neat solution if you dont want a mike.
USE Bluetooth
There are so many bluetooth stero headphones.
Much better. You can still take or make calls.
I have sony HBH-DS205. Works great. You can connect any other headphone or even connect to you home theatre systme (with one extra bit of connector).
£1.99
I got one off ebay from a chinese seller for £1.99 i was the only bidder and received it within about 15 days from china and works a treat.
EBAY
guys guys. Just go to ebay and you will get it very cheap. Why would you pay 5X more for same product made in same country.
Basically two good options, either use this:
http://shop.brando.com/htc-mini-usb-earphone-hand-free_p04126c0997d039.html
or somthing from ebay. I managed to pick up an adaptor for £0.99.

Works perfectly.

Mini USB to 3.5mm audio adaptor
I'm wondering is the Mini USB to 3.5mm audio adaptor for HTC Jade is something different as compare to any other phone.
As I bought one audio adaptor from local market, something similiar to one mentioned in below link. It is working for other LG and Samsung phone, but not with HTC Jade.

Any idea why or what is missing? Please advice.
Thanks!!

i think the pin configuration is different.
I made one myself, I dismantled the original headset provided with the device and soldered a 3,5mm female jack on the pcb with the volume and mic.
works great

Hi there!
So I've just bought brand new HTC Topaz. The first thing i've noticed is lack of jack (for my headphones) port. So I went to the store, and bought miniUSB -> Jack adapter for Motorola V3/L6 I guess.
The problem is: it is not working I put it in, connect my headphones and nothing. When I try to play a music, it goes through the phone speaker. Image shaowing the adapter can be found here:

Guess your problem is there, maybe that one has minus a pin in the mini usb port, return that one and see if you get one compatible with your HTC, if not check on ebay there are tons of those adapters for our HTC's
Well, the problem is that the ones *HTC Branded* are much more expensive, and I don't want to spend 10$ on stupid 11-pin -> 3-pin adapter... But the way I see it, there is no other option :-(
Hmm, maybe I could somehow mend together the one from HTC shipped headephones and the jack-part from ones that I bought.
Have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563349
Bought one myself and am quite impressed by it. I also have a dedicated mini usb to headphone one that seems to work fine. Branding on the side of that one is 'WELL'. Also found it on Ebay.
Found some pics of the smaller one:
http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11824&Itemid=1
And the larger one which has sockets for charging, 2.5mm headphones, 3.5mm headphones and also a mini usb headphone socket:
http://www.meritline.com/5-in-1-stereo-usb-adapter-384---p-35510.aspx?source=fghdac
Well, since shipping it to my country would cost fortune, I'll have to buy it here, somewhere. Already found one that matches HTC. Hope it will work !
Thanks for replies.
