USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter with minimum drain. - OnePlus 6T Accessories

Any adapters for the OnePlus 6T that cause the least amount of drain. I notice listening that the sound quality is great but the dongle gets a bit warm which causes more battery drain. So after three hours and 15 minutes of Apple Music drained about 11% screen off no web browsing. Still better than my Nexus 6 which would have drained at least 25% to 30%.
So checking the aimp's with a headphone jack my Nexus 6P for example shows about 90 dBV. But using the dongle it can vary from around 300 dBV to over 2000 dBV.

The factory device used the D/A in the phone and is passive.
It does not have a DAC or amp. so the presumption would be the factory dongle would be lowest power. (Maybe)
Most others have a DAC and amp, and power drain would be based on impedance of the headphones and the volume you run them at.
Running lower impedance headphones at high volume will draw the most power.
No two people are likely to get the same result.

I use these headphones indoor could drain more powers.

Does BT v2.0 get you anything over v1.2 for headsets?

I've read the marketing fluff and they seem to suggest quicker connections and better battery life. But has anyone actually tried a BT v2.0- EDR headset? Right now my moto HS850 is only BT 1.2 and battery life is a lot shorter when I have I am actively using it.
I've got my eye on a snazzy new Moto H670 because it has an off switch and uses a usb charger. But it's new and a lot more expensive compared to the old hat v1.2 headsets. Will it make a difference?
I have Nokia BH-900 that is BT 2.0.
So far the only difference I have noticed is the faster connection time to the phone.
With my older headsets (Nokia HDW-3, HDW-4, SonyEricsson HBH-300) it took about 5-8secs to connect but with this one it's 2secs.
Dunno about the battery life. Nokia has promised up to 8hrs of talk time with this one and up to 180hrs stand by. I can't verify this since I usually end up recharging it every day. So far the longest time I've been on the phone non-stop has been 3hrs and had no problems.
There are no REAL improvements that I have noticed. Sound quality is moderate with this ear piece.
I had Sony Ericsson HBH-IV835 (also BT 2.0) and it connected in 2 secs to the phone, but I returned it for its poor sound quality and short range ('bout 5 meters).

Differnt speakers

So I've been through this entire accessories forum and I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted yet
What about pulling out the speaker in the droid and replacing ours with that one? I hear it's quiet a bit better... Honestly I don't remember much about speakers from electrotec but it can't be all that incompatible can it?
It depends. Also, you'll need to find out how much power the droid speaker needs, it might drain the battery even faster. I tried this with 2 wires and a SE k750i speaker and it didn't work. might have another go though
yes but thats where a larger battery comes into play =P i think the main problem would be getting the extra power to it? i should have payed attention more in electrotech haha

That's what i meant. Regardless of battery size, you'd need to get the battery to deliver more power to use bigger speakers. dunno how the hell you'd do that
well as long as the speaker you put in has the same Voltage but Higher Ohm rating to get louder "volume". It would over drive the speaker tho, and probably kill it faster. But on the other hand, finding a 10 ohm replacement would probably sound better, but u would need to up the gain on the device.
I didnt know if u guys knew this, im 75% sure its correct. I don't believe u need to change batteries.
wattage is also a factor, It all depends on what we can find out about the speaker inside.
I thought, that a lower ohm rating would result in higher wattage and so it is louder.
If you put 4 volt to a 10 ohm speaker it would do 0,4 ampere. So you've got 1,6 watt. If you take a 1 ohm, you get 4 ampere and 16 watt.
As long as you take the "URI".
So i think, you will have to take one with lower resistance.
The resistance doesn't depend on the voltage. Because 10 ohm's are allways 10 ohm's. It's a question of the imprinted wattage.
Take a speaker with 10 ohm's and 16 watt on a circuit of 4 volt, you would hear nearly nothing.
On a circuit with 40 volt it play very loud.
If you take 400V, you would end up with a bomb.
Yes voltage will be specific to the speaker + amp setup you have. In the commercial speaker world, theres speakers that are 8ohm, but have a transformer on them to accept different voltages.. Ie. 100, 70, 25 volt systems.
I thought a smaller Ohm, Like 1 ohm, has less Resistance,(all most a short) then a 10 ohm would be more resistant.
But with meltus Modifying the amp output of a g1, i thought that u would want a speaker to sound better, not get distorted like the current one in there.
Over diving a speaker with voltage could throw the cone out of the spider,(Overextends). so yea 400v on any speaker, would outcome in projectiles.
I think ohm is not the problem, but the quality of the speaker. When you pay some more bucks for a speaker, then it hasn't more ohm, but ist better produced. Earphones are very similar to this. Buy some for 1$ and some for 50$. The difference could be as big as the difference in price. So the speakers for your car hifi.
I've looked http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Dream SM (A04).pdf <-- there on the service guide thingy to see what its got on it about the speaker... only things i spotted was that its directly attached too the back casing... (see page 59) and some such about 36H00720-00M speaker, KDIC (page 101) dosn't really seem to say much else that i noticed =/

[REVIEW] The HTC AUX Stereo Clip

A short review...
I was very excited to purchase this and rid myself of the AUX cord in my Xterra!
I spent 60 or 70$ on this item at bestbuy.com.
Pairing works great, get in the car, scan my NFC that enables bluetooth and all that automated goodness. The sound quality is comparable to the AUX cable, I find.
That is about the extent of the PROS.
The CONS is the battery life and the design of the unit.
The battery life is quite disappointing. From what I can estimate, playback time may be near 1 hour with a full charge. Though, I keep the stereoclip constantly plugged in via cigarette lighter. Even though it is plugged in, it still dies! Though, plugged in and playing, the playtime is closer to an hour and a half.
I say that the design of the stereo clip is bad because the jack does not insert flush-ly against the AUX port. You can see what I mean in the picture attached. Also, my Xterra's AUX port doesn't help this because it TOO is also designed poorly as the AUX port is indented into the dash. In a good design, it should be 'indented' OUTWARD! So boo on both HTC and Nissan for their horrible designs! lol
I don't regret buying the stereo clip, but the battery life sucks and I am forced to keep an eye on its charge and with it being inserted only about 80% of the way, I believe the sound quality could possibly improve, but I may never know what it sounds like 100% inserted in my car.
I bought an extension jack so that it is able to be inserted fully, but it became a mono set once I plugged it into the extension.
I love this item and the concept, completely! But, for others that have this item, do you find the same flaws? How do you feel about the item?
What exactly does this do? Basically use the USB port to transmit audio?
↑ It's a Bluetooth receiver.
I have one and often use it 4+hours without a charge.
I did return one though because the battery completely failed.
I've had mine for about 2 mths now. Hardly ever charge it and use it for about 45mins each day. Plug it in, switch BT on in my phone and go. Does exactly what it's supposed to. Sounds amazing. It's def a good buy.

It just plugs into the AUX port in your car and then uses Apt-X Bluetooth to receive the signal for the audio. Apt-X is better sound quality than the older A2DP, but there seems to be a slight delay in audio transfer(~1.5 seconds).
I have the Samsung one, which is half the price, but does the same thing. I like it quite well but don't use it as much as I thought I would.

Ahh thanks buddy, I have BT already enabled with my car, so I wasn't sure what this did.

otg cable for charging my Bluetooth headset SBH50

Is it safe to use otg cable for charging my Bluetooth headset SBH50 on the go using my note 3 battery as charging sorce????
By the way, been using SBH50 for more than a month now have no problem recommending this device to anyone looking for a wireless Bluetooth option for cellular or audio listening needs I'm definitely impressed with its functionality and sound quality. However the battery charge do not last more than two days even without use at all (standby only) and less than one day with light use (about one hour calls) although sony says that SBH50 minimum Rated Talk Time: 8 hours, and Minimum Rated Standby Time: 400 hours
I don't know if it is my Headset problem or it is actual battery life for this type of sony headset ??

Mate 10 low volume through 3.5-mm port (with good 35ohm headphones)

Hey there!
I'm jumping off the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ship, as it has suddenly died with all my data (thanks, samsung, for using slow and low quality
EMMC flash memory!)
just received my Mate 10 and the key issue (if i should dismiss weak vibro) is low headphone volume.
I have high-quality 35 ohm Denon headphones that deliver outstanding sound quality, and had no problems using them with samsung devices (Note 4, S3, tablets). I usually listened to the music on 60-70% volume and it was REALLY loud).
Now, with Mate 10, I had to max up the volume, but even at 100% it's not enough. Well, its sort of ok mostly, but not so enjoyable, and many tracks say "a bit more volume please".
Is there anything that can be done? I remember that custom kernels allow increasing volume, but that means rooting. Could anyone give an advice?
What is their sensitivity? If I use it with my Hifman HE400i the volume is also a bit low. They are 35ohm and have a sensitivity of 93dB. If they are really good headphones you wont be able to use them to their full potential plugged in to a phone anyways, so it will probably be better to pair them with an external DAC/amplifier. The usb-c port can output a bit of power, so you can probably use a decent usb DAC like the audioquest dragonfly for example. I use a hegel super DAC without any problems.

sensitivity 104dB/mW.
Well, the thing is that i used them with Note 4 and galaxy s3 (both are phones) with no problems - the sound was outstanding and volume very decent.
I did some more tests and found out that volume in videos that i see with VLC player is much higher (and more satisfactory). So the port is physically capable to deliver. Maybe should try a different media player?
You could try Foobar 2000. There is a setting called replay gain in the menu that will probably be able to boost the volume.
