Today at the phone store I saw a pair of headphones that had a miniUSB connector at the end. I don't have stereo BT headphones and I was considering buying some, but I don't really mind wires so this looked pretty good.
It would be great to have regular headphones without any adapter, but these were the in-ear type headphones and they always fall out of my ears! I prefer the around-the-back type headphones.
Are there any other headphones that have a miniUSB that anyone knows of??
When it comes to audio there isn't a standard for miniUSB. If you do find headphones you like make sure they are intended to work with an HTC device. One made for a Razr won't work.
Keep in mind that on HTC devices, it's not really a miniUSB. It's the same size and shape but they actually call it ExtUSB because it can do both the sync/charging and the audio. As mentioned, you MUST use headsets that are made to work with HTC devices.
most in ear headphones come with 3 or 4 different bud sizes to fit the ears, my sony DS-980 BT headphones did and i changed them to the largest ones and they now fit in the ear perfectly
I use the Bose in-ear with the HTC USB adapter. Agree the adapter is large but the sound quality of the Bose headphones is like from another world. I also use Plantronic steroa BT headphones whih are good but when it comes to HIFI Stereo sound I love my Bose.

I'm looking for replacement for Magician's (wired) headset coz I think the one that comes with it sucks (low audio quality).
Anyone can suggest good alternatives with good MP3 quality (enough bass,...) and also as the phone's handsfree.
Thanks a lot.
If you are handy with a soldering iron, cut off that stupid pair of earbuds and solder on your favorite headset (that's what I did) or you can buy 3rd party adapters. If you solder on new headphones, don't forget to get some of that really cool heat shrink stuff to put over the wires, it turns out very professional looking and very strong.
Hmm...nice idea.
Unfortunately i'm not good at soldering.
So it seems i'm stuck with alternative to find a good earphone+hansfree combo....
SOny Ericsson p900 headset
5x times sound quality, + only one with a microphone that fits the 2.5mm plug. I searched long and hard to get this answer as i cannot solder too
this headset is not a stereo one, rigth ?
There are some adapters that have a built in mic and you plug the 3.5 headhones of your choice into it. There is also a small adapter that is just for audio 2.5-3.5. It is true that the Sony P800-900 headsets are compatible with the Jam. Unfortunately I have yet to hear original earphones that are acceptable to me. I can't remember where I bought it, but the adapter with a built-in mic and 3.5 headphone jack is probably what you are looking for. I use one in my car. Maybe somone has a link for you?

But in this case, is there any high quality 3.5mm earphone that also work as handsfree for the Jam?
This solution uses the internal mic of the PPC Phone so you can use any high quality headset from your local hi-fi store.
Can you confirm that this doesn't mess up the stereo or do anything else weird?
I found it! This is the adapter that I bought for my Sony P800 years ago(works with Magician). You can use it to plug into your home stereo, favorite headphones and it even has a volume control. Mainly I use it in my car. I use it to plug my Jam into my car stereo and sometimes I use it to plug in the earbud for one ear wired headset communication. ENJOY!

I have that. I don't like it too much since it feels very fragile (including the thin wire) and the fact that it isn't a simple straight wire means it snga everywhere.
I only use that adapter in the car. It is good for people that can't make their own headset by soldering. I made a custom headset from Koss headphones and a Sony handsfree. That baby sounds really good, and I'm picky about sound quality.
Does the mic work? Can you accept and end calls using the button?
Thanks,
K
Yes, the above adapter works exactly as the original handsfree headset (+ volume control) except that you have to plug in a normal 3.5 plug stereo headphones. If there are other models out there without the reel thingy, I haven't found it.
I recently have gone through two different Body Glove Sport Stereo headphones with some issues. I can't decide if I have another faulty headset or if the phone audio connector is the issue. The body glove headset is similar to the headset that comes with the 8125, but it looked more comfortable.
The problem I am having is this, the headphones only play in the right side. Messing with the plug on the headset results in some quick burst of audio on the left side and pulling it out a tad gives me some faint left audio and the right side audio goes out completely. It seems the plug and jack don't quite jive... anyone else experience this? It comes with an adapter for the "bigger jack" and upon trying one of my girls iPods, they work fine with the adapter in the mix.
My application is this... I listen to MP3's while riding my motorcycle and the earphones that came with the phone hurt my ears after a while. Plus they don't have the greatest audio quality. Looking for a comfy replacement, but the above issue has me scratcing my head.
Here is a link to the headphones: here
i think...
i think you have the wrong adapter. i tried using the slvrs adapter with my 8125 and it did not work same prob as you. i went to radioshack and got one from there and it did. im most absolutely sure is the inner wiring. what happens is that there's also a connection for a microphone on the 8125 so some adapters dont work.

ps my friend got a mono one at radio shack and it worked for him both sides. hes not a audiophile but you get the idea, it has to be the connection of your plug.
The headphones in addition to be being stereo, have the microphone too, I think the paragraph in the page you linked clears up a few questions for me:
Most manufacturers create their devices allowing audio compatibility with only their specific brand headset or headphones. We have designed and engineered several different types of audio adapters to accommodate a variety of devices. Our unique audio adapters give you the freedom to use any standard 2.5/3.5 mm. 3 conductor headset and/or your favorite set of headphones.

It would seem although the Body Glove headset uses the 2.5mm jack, the internals of the 8125 are off enough that a select few aftermarket stereo headsets with mics will work with the phone. Interesting.
Upon further examination of the jack, it is different than the one that came with the phone. In spite of the BodyGlove being a stereo headet with a mic... just like the one that comes with the phone, the connector is different enough to not with aftermarket stuff I guess. Those dirty rascals!!!
The connector on the left is the one that comes with the 8125, the one on the right is the BodyGlove.
Searched and found this old thread. I went to connect my 8125 Wizard to my cars 3.5 jack using a standard adapter and it only came left channel.
Is there a more cost effective proprietary four-conductor jack to a 3.5 mm converter than posted above at PPC Techs? I was hoping to spend a few dollars.
I'm actually using my old Ngages audio cable to get Stereo sound out of my car stereo. It works but sometimes I can't use the mic on the cell phone to talk.
When it works it's really cool, but otherwise I gotta unplug the cable and use it like a regular phone during phone calls.
I'm not a big fan of BT headsets, does anyone have any recommendations for any wired headsets/headphones w/mic?
Thanks
I got this from cellphone shop, a yahoos seller.

Personally I love my SteelSeries Siberia in-ear headset, and use it with an adapter that has mic and volume control built in..
I posted about the handsfree set here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394845
Check this out they work great with HTC and great quality stereo sound.
You can check this place out they have huge selection. Their pricing is also near wholesale. I tried the HTC OEM 2.5mm Stereo Headset Silver here http://www.myphonetrader.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=HTC+Headset Make sure you check through out the site for all the different headset that they have to offer
I just bought an miniUSB to 3.5mm Adapter with a long cable and a mic included.
Attach your prefered headphone to that adapter and you are ready to go
My in-ears are those Koss http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?openform&pc^np^KEB24S
if you put them in with high pressure you will not hear nothing from your surrounding very nice

I am looking for in-ear phones with a cable which can be rolled into some system. I know these for normal earphones, but didn't find them for mini-usb so far.
Currently the earphones are "knotted" all the time
Sorry have no answer for you but I wonder: where can you find it for normal earphones? (or what they are called, not english).
Sorry, I don't have an answer for you either. They're generally referred to as retractable earbuds.
I guess he is referring to retractable in ear headphones,

( I am not sure about the quality of these headphones)
you also need a audio adapter. I am currently using

Hi,
is there any way to get the internal mic on the SGS2 working when using real headphones? I also have problems in the car when using BlueTooth, my mic do not work - neither the car mic nor the built in one and in this case I would prefer the external one.
Also connected to good headphones - Volume boosting? I have tried the service codes but they all go back to normal again, do I need to Root?
Thanks
Define "real" headphones?
If you are talking about headphones with 25-60ohm impedance then the output amp should drive your headphone just fine. But if you want to drive a 600ohm HD800 then you definitely need a portable amp. (I wouldn't suggest anyway you play music with SGS2 as a source if you have a HD800) Volume boosting does nothing if you are driving a high impedance headphone.
I have a TF10 with in-line mic and the mic works fine with my SGS2. Music pausing, fast forward etc works.
Hi,
not all clear - agreed. I have a pair of Monster Turbine Pro Copper 32 ohm, but my questions was more headphones/headset. My old iPhone4 was smart enough to figure out if I was using a headset or headphones and keept the intermal mic on in the latter case. So is there anyway to get the SGS2 to work in that manner. I would prefer that and not have to buy an extension cord with mic (prefer short cable).
All the best
