Hi all,
Recently I lost my wizard's original headsets, I tried to find a place to get the same original ones but I didn't find a single place on the internet that sells exactly the original O2 headset with its cable, mic and answer button.
Anyway, what is the best wired/wireless stereo headset in terms of quality/price? if it is BT, is it rechargable?
And how does the sound quality compare to the original headsets?
I hope I will find some help here since I know nothing about these things
Cheers,
Mohammad
Hi guys,
I found this one that looks like Wizard's original ones:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Vario-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1201287948&sr=1-1
but when I looked at the cable I suspect that the cable is not of good quality like the original.. Any help plz? should I buy it?
I use a Motorola H700. It's not stereo, but for handsfree calling, it's awesome. The call quality is outstanding, the range is excellent (I can be anywhere in my house with my phone in the bedroom and have no static), and the best part is that it uses the same kind of charger the Wizard does, so I can just lug one charger around with me. Awesome little device.
If I want to listen to music, I just have a cheap pair of earbud headphones that I plug in with an adapter. Works just fine for me!
Thanks for ur reply, what about the link I provided, is this the ORIGINAL wizard headset? the earbuds seems to be the original, but what about the cable? is it the original.
Help me guys, pleeeeez
comon guys, somebody tell me about this headset link, is it exactly the original along with its cable and everything?

Hey,
I have a question regarding the XDA II.
When I'm getting the device I would like to get it connected in my car.
Is it possible to connect the XDA II to an amplifier and play my mp3's?
I know there are a few amplifiers out there that can be connected with a "walkman" jack.
If is possible could you put some pics online where I can check it out?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers

if you dont want to get a car tuner which neat jackconnectors
and you have a tape player in the car then

this one or one like it would work if you made or got a xda 2.5 to 3.5 converter
First of all: thanks for the amazing fast reply!! :-D
I don't have a tape player in my car... So this is not an option for me...
I can buy an amplifier that can be connected with a "walkman" jack.
I had one a long time ago, I connected my walkman to the amplifier.
So is there a cable that can be connected to the XDA II and the other side that has a "walkman" jack? (So I can put this in the amplifier)?
And will this work for the XDA II?
Cheers

xda1 and 2 have compatible connectors apart from the pickup phone buttons
w00t!!
That's what I'm looking for man!
Thanks again, going to order that one as soon as my XDA II is in my hands :-D
Does anyone in here own such a cable?
Just want to know if the quality is any good...
If it's worth the money.
The cable itself is not that expensive but I would have to buy an amplifier too.
Don't care about the money as long as it works great :-D
Cheers
Also I would like to know when connected with the cable does the microfone still work? (so when the cable is inserted)
Because I will be using MS Voice software...
Thanks
if it does disable the mic in the xda then this
http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm
would work it have a mic aswell and a 3.5mm connector
of cause then you would have to place it in a place where
it can recieve your voice
about sound quality then should not be much worse then the headset
it's just another connector with the jack 3.5mm
it's just analog you can compare it with how much the quality loss would be if a walkmen were connected the same way compared to connected to a headset
Thanks man!!
Just a question regarding the cable with mic.
If I will use it in the car with the sound (mp3) over my speakers won't that interfere with my microphone (with ms voice software)...?
Hi just thought this idea might help:
if you have a look around the net (i think Expansys.co.uk also do one) you can get a little radio module that plugs into a standard stereo jack, it transmits your audio to a special frequency that can be picked up by any FM radio nearby. Like you car radio if you have one.
I use my XDA II as an MP3 player in my car via Seidio's iSound wireless FM transmitter. The transmitter input plugs into the XDA2's headphone jack (I have a 2.5 to 3.5 mm adaptor) and then I tune my car stereo into the user definable frequency of the iSound transmitter. Works very well.

This sounds very very interesting guys!!
Thanks a lot.
This is a lot more userfriendly than putting an amplifer and stuff in.
I have a nice car audio so this is very neat!!
How is the sound quality?!
Cheers
So how is the sound quality?
Before I'm buying this one I would like to know if the sound quality is good.
I got the expansys adapter but it works very poorly for the XDAII dues to the unusual shape of the 2.5 socket on the XDAII. I have to fiddle with the plug to get it to work... very annoying.
Anyone found an adapter without this problem?

Yes, with another adapter i had the same problem.
Buy on old Nokia 8110 headet, cut it below the mic and use the wires to solder a 3,5mm connector to it, On the nokia wire :
blue = Audio-L
Green = Audio-R
Red = Mic
Blanc = Ground
Good luck !
Hi all,
I've got a Magician, lovin' it etc etc
The point is that I've lost the stereo headset that came within!! So I decided to go buying a new one: sadly there aren't any near seller that give 2.5mm headsets!! And the converter that I bought works really bad, often losing connection..
I have found that a Nokia handsfree (http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-Nokia/nokia_headset_pinout.shtml it's the 3210 one) fits perfectly, but it's mono and mic&button aren't working..
It's possible to modify it, cutting off the mic and inserting another speaker instead of it? Are there any diagrams for the Magician's 2.5mm output?
Many thanks..

Compatible Stereo HandsFree
Hi,
You can use Sony Ericson P900 Hands free its compatible.
I am using this and its woww great sound.
Please buy the original hands free there are fake hands free from other companies which dont have good sound if you listen to music.
Hi there, I am looking for a mini-usb to 2.5mm headset adapter for this lovely new thing. I snagged an adapter at a truckstop that said it would work with razr et al. however it doesn't work with this, are the pinouts different perhaps? If so can someone recommend where I can get an adapter for it? Two reasons why I am searching. First my workphone is a nextel i265, which means no BT, and second because I would prefer to have one headset and swap between both phones, and given that statement, I absolutely LOVE the Jabra wired headsets. So please and thanks in advance for any kind of help that can be provided.

Normal stereo headphones are 3,5 mm, I guess you'll want those.. In this case check this out: 11 pin to 3,5 mm
Another one
if you want 2,5 mm: Search better then me I can't find it
Actually looking for the 2.5, not currently caring about the stereo capabilities of the headset, if I want an mp3 player, I will carry around the much less fragile ipod Nano. I am looking just for a normal headset for hands free use while driving a car, and unfortunately, it just doesn't look like, at least first glance, that I am going to be able to use the same headset for both, and will just need two different physical headsets *sigh*

that will be perfect for you, you can use it to talk AND listen to music.
re:
if i were to use this jack... will i be able to use the vmoda duo headphones to answer phone calls?
Gents,
I have a question that I've been trying to figure out for a little while now. I've been looking for a bluetooth receiver that has a 3.5mm stereo out to connect to an auxiliary port for a car. The closest thing I have seen is a nifty little piece of equipment put out by sony, model number MBR-100. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this with our phones (AT&T tilt), if it worked straight up, or if there was some tweaking that had to be done in order to make it work. I've been lurking around the forums and found a little info, but very mixed responses, so I figured I would ask.
Thanks!!!!

Jabra BT3030, i know someone who actually uses this and they love it, plus its got the music controls and phone controls as well. its also got a mic built in so you can use it as a headset.
hm..........I just went ahead and got the mbr-100, however, god forbid that one doesn't work out, I'll give this one a shot. I somehow missed another guy's thread on here that had about 5 or 6 of em listed. Thanks though!!!
why not try something like this ? http://www.pimtensen.nl/shop_details.php?grp_id=1&sub_id=47&cur_id=3309
itech bluetooth
I use an Itech Bluetooth that has a 3.5mm jack, and bought a shortened (4inch) 3.5mm male to male jack. Plug it in the car when driving, now i have music and speaker phone using car speakers and just unplug and take it with me when i leave the car effortlessly.

I use this http://www.orangeaccessories.co.uk/bt320_stereo_bluetooth_headset.html and its real cheap.
It doesn't have a2dp out of the box, but follow the tips here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/11702-Jabra-BT320s-Stereo-Bluetooth-Handsfree-Reviews.htm and it works really well.

Hi, first of all, I did this thread here because I'm not quite asking about the accessories, but about a modification. But if any Moderator thinks this should be moved, please do so.
At any rate, the thing is, I'm still beaten up about the fact that the headphones bundled to the cellphone are such low quality. Ok, there are some superb phones that comes with crappy headset, but you can replace them with any other headphones you have. But this one doesn't support detaching them. That's low quality for me.
So, I went to search for detachable HTC headsets. To my wonder - or bad searching skills - I found none. All are just one-piece headset. Really?
Ok, maybe makes sense when we take into account the fact that for an odd reason, HTC headsets works different than the rest. Just incompatible with other phones.
And here is my question. Is it possible to mod this headphones? My idea is to just trim the original bundled and re-wire the plug to some kind of 4 bands 3,5 female plug, so I can connect non HTC heaphones with mic to this sort of adapter and that could operate the phone.
Or, maybe there's such adapter out there in the world? theory says I'm not the first one to think in this, but I've found nothing so far.
In resume:
a) Are there detachable HTC headsets out there?
b) Is it possible to make an adapter for non HTC headsets?
c) Does this adapter exits already and I'm just wasting time and not money?
bonus) Is there some sort of schematics about HTC headsets? I just can't guess why others are incompatible, but a different wiring...
Many thanks before hand!

Really? no one? :/ I cant believe everyone is just satisfied using that lousy headset or just headphones with no mic.
why bother. Any set of decent cell phone headphones work great.
I got a pair of rocket fish headphones. It comes with a mic, and a voice dial/answer button that works great on the Aria.
edit: here is a newer version of what i have.

Don't use headphones here, I have bluetooth in my car .
But, I'd suggest buying skull candy headphones, or even the headphones that come with some nokia xpressmusic phones are awesome. (particularly 5800).
i use these skullcandies because i mainly listen to music on my phone they have a mic on them to so i kan use the on a call if i get one while i have them on
I found that if you download a music player with an equalizer built in, you can improve the quality of the sound 100%
