I use to listen mp3's on my T-Mobile SDA. And as the headset (which came along with the phone) sucks i'd like to use my own headphones which have normal 3,5mm stereo plug. Would normal 2,5mm-to-3,5mm do the trick?
Not sure but I know this works: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-x-3-5mm-Ada...ryZ14419QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (not my auction, just chose the first hit for c500 3.5 mm)

can you use normal headphones for the xda ii, or do you have to have special ones? because i want to use this as my mp3 player too =/.
if you mean the headphones used for regular cd-players then the answer would be no. the xda's headphone plug only allows the 2.5mm jacks to plug in; the same size the standard headsets it comes with when you buy a unit. other "normal" headsets use the 3.5mm jacks. although; you can buy a plug converter...do a search in the internet for the sites offering this item. the standard one has a 2.5mm plug connected to a 3.5mm jack. so when you want to use your cd-player's headphone, you have to plug in the converter and then plug in the headphone jack. i ordered one out of this site based in hong kong; aside from being a converter it also allows you to answer the phone using the built-in microphone (with volume control). can't remember the site where i bought it from though...
cheers mate

If you're ok with a bit of fiddly soldering then it's an ideal solution.
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 have Resco Radio installed on my phone and I would like to listen to the music from my phone (Mogul 6800) to my headunit in my car Pioneer AVIC-N3 www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_3151_295503034,00.html so I decided to go to Radio Shack and purchase this 1/8" to 3/32 adapter www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062471&cp and of course using the 2.5mm headset adapter the phone came with. I have this and used it to plug the stereo cable into www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069685_307492523,00.html , initially for my ipod to watch videos on the navi screen but works just as well. MY PROBLEM I am running into is, is plays the music fine (I can hear it) but w/ the headunit volume turned ALL the way and the phone volume turned ALL the way up, it is not NEARLY as loud as I would like it to be. VERY low in volume. I don't know if there is a program I can download for a volume booster, or a registry tweak. Let me know opinions, etc. THNX
I use the Mogul & Resco Radio with my headphones (Shure E500's), external devices like TVs, Stereos and also have used it in my car via auxiliary input and it's good, normal-loud. I'm actually really impressed by the audio output quality. Keep in mind, the 2.5 -> 3.5 mm adapter you purchase from Radio Shack probably won't work well as HTC does something weird to their plugs to have them also support the mic funciton.
I use the cable below:

Beats the hell out of using the original dongle + 2.5->3.5mm adapter..
good luck.

you need a headphone amplifier
Hi chaps,
Do you have any suggestion for a wired compact headset to take phone calls?
I got a bt but its not always on and when I get a call, I dont want everybody around me to hear the conversation but when i pop in a 3.5mm stereo headphone, the microphone stops working
I cant find a combo in-ear headphone microphone thingi with one 3.5mm jack or a mini usb headset... so any suggestions?
What about the original one in the package?
You can leave your device in the pocket and accept or quit phonecalls.
You can set the volume of the incoming call to lowest with the slider left to the navi-stick, then other people do not hear your calls if you are 2-3 meters away.
I'd like to know a wired headset which shows the caller-ID in the microphone case, like the old sony walkman with the display on the wire, showing actual song and volume. The 3.5 jack will not support this, i know.
yeah you can just leave any 3.5mm headphones pluggged in, as long as they are plugged in before the phone comes in you can use the inbuit microphone.
The device still rings, so you just put the buds in your ears and answer.
This is what I do with my senseinhers.
I'd like a decent replacement corded set, don't like the sound quality from BT ones I've tried.
Had a USB one from gpsforless that you can plug your own headphones in just past the mic, but it wasn't well built and lasted about 3 weeks.
I bought this one for use in the car while plugged into my AUX in on the car stereo.

It works great with the Athena, there are a bunch of different types on ebay, just search for "Tytn Adapter" and you will find a bunch.
Pretty much any HTC Extended USB based adapter will work with the Athena.
Good Luck

I don't have such a problem with the original wired headset. The sound is excellent in both WM5 and WM6.
My wired headphones died pretty quickly, so now I use a pair of sennseisher buds, the microphone on the athena works when using standard earbuds, so although not hands free, it is at least a bit more private.
I like this from PPC Techs.

It gives you both 2.5mm and 3.5mm output so you can have your headphones in one plug and the headset in the other.
They have another adapter that goes from the USB for the same purpose but I don't have that one.

ouh.. interesting to ur post
yeah maybe that is the KEY,
i'am forget,
i have changed my original earbud with Senheiser mx500, same as you, died quickly, then again changed to original N6233 earbud, great sound for music
but maybe causing malfunction the microphone ?
thanks a lots, i will try to change my earbud,
I purchased a 3.5mm adapter to listen at the gym. My first try was generic and I got no audio, this new set only gets one channel. I think it's got to do with a microphone.
Here's what I bought off ebay: 3.5mm USB AUDIO ADAPTER FOR HTC TYTN II 8925 MOGUL 6800

When you get no audio from the headphones (with your adapter), is the sound coming from your phone's speaker? Usually when those types of adapters aren't getting the sound through, it will come through the phone's speaker. You might want to try the HTC adapter that came with the phone with a 2.5MM phone stereo headset. The phone seems to be very sensitive with regard to audio coming through adapters and other types of headsets...
I have that one and it works just fine
What about registry settings? Would the BT Audio program that turns bluetooth to stereo do anything?
