Does anyone know a good 3.5mm adapter that can charge phone, but that actually work. I hate the bulky ones that Belkin Sell for the iPhone and iPad so are there any that are compact?
>having to buy adapters to listen to music and charge your phone just so a company can feel "cool" copying apple.
****ing ****, I did well to get the regular Mate 10 with the headphone jack, seems the non-pro version is more pro than the pro version..

is 1$ too expensive? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Typ...lgo_pvid=0f07fa32-1431-4a91-9f9a-8ab14b99a5a9

Those adapters look so ugly, why didn't Huawei provide it if they took out the 3.5mm jack?
Do those $1 adaptors even work because there are more expensive ones on amazon that apparently don't work.

Just curious if anyone has any of these and how well they work. Best Buy, for instance, has the Sony MEXBT2500 for about $185 which doesn't seem like a bad price for it. Actually it seems like a really good price for a head unit with BT built in instead of requiring an additional adapter (that is nearly $200 by itself). I mean, BB kind of sucks but there are plenty of places who will price match and offer somewhat better service.
I've been using the MEXBT5000 (the 2500's predecessor) since January. It's the best BT unit of any kind I've ever used - its phone performance is better than any headset I've used, and the A2DP performance is equally good. I'd expect the 2500 to perform just as well, if not better.
Note that the 2500 doesn't have preouts, which may be a factor if your car has a premium sound system.
Damn, I knew that was too good to be true. Who the hell makes a premium radio like this and leaves off something as important as the preamp outs? Sony apparently. Yeesh. Well, that officially prices most of them out of my price range I suppose. No way am I paying $500 to get one.
Go mail-order; NewEgg has the MEX-BT5000 for $259.99.
119 w/$19S&H on Ebay for the BT2500
I will need the Nissan adapters for my Inifiniti, but this looks like a good buy nonetheless.
I could care less about the preamps. My J30 has amps built in on every speaker. Bose system... the head unit blew 2 months ago and I've been living with only the road/engine noise for company.

Then you will need an adapter to convert the speaker level output of the radio to something the amps on the speakers can handle. Generally speaking, though, when you install an aftermarket stereo into a system with a premium factory radio like that, you have to bypass the factory amps and run off the radio's speaker level outputs.
You could always wait a little bit, and buy a new car. Ford is coming out with the "SYNC" system that does a whole lot more than let you stream...
USB port for hard-drive, voice activated navigation...etc.

No offense but I've had it with American cars. When they build something reliable then maybe I will buy one but for the time being my '93 Infiniti J30 with 170K miles on it is far more reliable and will probbably outlive any US made car out there.

Haha. I think I'd rather pass on that. It would be much cheaper to buy an aftermarket stereo and pretty much guaranteed to be better quality too. OEM stereo system = teh suck. The premium ones are okay, but even they get their butts handed to them by a decent quality aftermarket setup.
I have tried to use the A2DP feature with the Sony MEXBT2500 with some luck, but with some problems.. There was an awful high pitch tone that comes thru the speakers when you stream audio via bluetooth to the head unit. I managed figure out that it depends on the Rom version of WM6 that I was using.. The best sound quality I got was from Nstefanelli's WM6 version...
Looking into buying a stereo bluetooth headset for my wing, but not sure what's really out there, or which ones are better. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I did a little bit of research on this topic and recommended HT820 for my brother in law. He bought them on ebay for under $30 brand new. Good reviews (bulkiness was one of the biggest concerns which is find with me) and fit the budget! I will let you know once he get's them. Good luck.
I was thinking of going with the 820, but didn't know if there is much difference between either of them, or if there was something better out in the market.
I got the Plantronics 855, and I love it. Works very well, and has great sound quality. A little pricey at $129 USD, but worth it.
I have the moto S9.. I love it. best price is from Amazon I think.
I even choose stereo a2dp over an iPhone.

Damn, and to think I got the motorola s9s when they first came out at around $99. But you know what ... I still have them, they're good, and it's something I'd definitely recommend getting, (especially for $44.99). So go get 'em for pete's sake and terminate this thread, LOL.
s9's have problems Ive tried 3 headsets and the Insignia ns-bthdp seam to be the best, they pair up soooo easy, they fit on the ear not in the ear,don't have to worry about sweat messing them up,they are super LOUD and clear,you can lay in a chair and listen to music ,and the kicker........you can hear calls and watch movies or videos you downloaded in stereo just my 2 cents.
I love my S9's.
I also have the Motorola S9 and i love the inear plugs. Better than all normal headphones. It is small, light and connects without any problems!
BTW - i only payed 34€
Quick question for you gurus out there ...
Is there any reason that the ZAGG Z Buds wouldn't work with the Hero? I want all of the features that they have for my Hero, but can't find anything decent.
I asked their customer service, but they seemed clueless.
The jack
I guess that the 3.5mm jack sported by the Z Buds is iPhone-specific, since it has four contacts instead of the three you'll find in a standard headphone jack.
These non-standard jacks do work with 95% of standard connectors, but that 5% is always around the corner...

i doubt it because the standard hero earphones also had 4 connections
I am not familiar with Z buds, but if you're looking for an upgrade for your earphones:
I have just bought the V-moda Vibe Duo (iPhone), and they are absolutely great (if you enjoy a rich bass). Especially for a 30 euro pricetag (Ebay).
Microphone works perfect, button to answer or control music-player (MixZing) works perfect.
And derived from this positive experience, I guess that every iPhone designed earbud will also work perfectly on the HTC Hero.
Happy shopping ;-)
I used to have some old Skullcandy earbuds that I bought discounted in early 2012. Since then they have went out so I had to replace them and got ink'd 2 off Ebay. The pack I got did not come in the original packaging, so I'm not sure if they were fakes, but at any rate they were total junk and one earpiece was not working.
Do you have any recommended earbuds that work well and are priced around $20-25 max ? I use earbuds (corded), no muffs or cordless. Typically they get used pretty heavily at the gym so there's sweat, dropping, etc, etc...hence I don't want to spend too much on earbuds that will get roughed up.
I had some dual driver Xiaomi I bought, they are OK, but nothing too wild. The reviews were good so I was expecting something better, but they were not as good as my old Skullcandy ones.
Bluetooth earbuds are now in the $15-20 range. I personally got a taotronics pair from amazon that are no longer available apparently for $15. The sound is fine. The problem of course is that the battery is about 6 hours of sound and when you are done, you have to make sure you turn them off to save battery. But still, go for them. Not having a cord wrapped around your body is nice.

I'm still partial to Skull Candy's 2XL brand...I picked up a set of Spokes I believe they were called (the ones without a mic) for like $7- $11. Pair them with Viper4android and they're surprisingly good....they can handle more than my Sennheiser set it spent over $80 for.

Great information. Thanks for the heads up !

Got some SoundPeats from Amazon or $30! They since went down a LOT! You can get em for like, $16 or so. I got the SoundPeats QY9 but some claimed the QY8 had deeper bass. Not sure, but i love em! Bluetooth headphones.
The Sony Extra Bass sound pretty good, especially with V4A and Dolby Atmos. Also durable and comfortable. I've seen them on Amazon for $25-30.

Personally I use Aukee bluetooth earbuds and I love these! I got them at Amazon for about $25 or so. Really good sound. AUKEY EP-B24 Bluetooth Headphones. Android guys did a review on them but I think they understated them. If you use a music player with good EQ they rock. I like doubletwist for that.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't been able to check out these yet as its been a busy time for me but I have lots of recommendations to look into. Thanks for everyone's input!

Well they actually just quit working on me this week. The battery no longer charges so they only work plugged in making them pointless. So, guess my reccomendation was premature.

Klipsch S4 for wired. I really like my Bluetooth Power Beats 2 (sweat and water resistant) with a little bass reduction.
For $25-$30 a set of AKG Y20U earbuds are hard to beat, hands down.
They tested really well against many other earbuds according to The Wirecutter.

I like mine, which live in a zip lock bag at the bottom of a soft briefcase. They roll out and work everytime, no problem. They're tough, crisp, deep, and CHEAP. They also have a built in mic and action button...

I didn't order the bluetooth earbuds. I tried the Ep c2 from aukey, and aukey was a very good advice. For 12 € on amazon together with arise soundmod I really do enjoy the sound of my Nexus for cheap money.
Thanks for the aukey advice :good:
I really recommand hammerhead by razor.
From what I could tell in reviews and unboxing videos it doesn't seem as if there is a USB C to 3.5mm adapter in the box. With that being said I know a lot of people are psyched about the Galaxy Buds+ and all sorts of other Bluetooth headphones but I still love my Etymotic IEM's and was wondering what everyone was thinking for the best adapter to work with this phone.
I haven't had much experience with using any sort of dongle but I'm currently leaning to just going all out and getting a Nextdrive Spectra X as everything I've been reading makes it sound like there are some very low quality options out there and with these earbuds I've been able to notice a pretty major difference from higher quality amp sources.

I went and bought the Google OEM one at best buy for 8.99, so imagine that it will work perfectly for the s20 series, I won't know until I get my S20 ultra on the 16th:good:
