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.
Does anybody know the wiring diagram for the supplied headset?
Wolfgang
Sorry wolfgang, this is just a bump and not an answer. I'd also like to know if anyone's investigated the headset. What I'd like to be able to do (and I've never even *seen* the headset yet, still stuck in the hell of trying to obtain an Exec, see other threads) is use the microphone / button from the headset with a different pair of headphones.
I assume you mean the plug wiring? I've not had time to double-check this yet, but I believe it's the same as my Jornada 928 mic/stereo-headset.
Reading from the tip of the plug:
Plug tip: Left ear piece (short cable on the Jornada)
1st ring: Right ear piece (long cable on the Jornada)
2nd ring: Microphone
Top ring: Ground
When it arrived, I briefly tried the Jornada headset in the O2 Exec, and it worked in both ears, but I didn't check the left/right orientation. Until my Jabra BT500 bluetooth headset arrived, I was also using a self-modified (re-plugged) Plantronics single-ear headset with the tip and 1st ring linked to give mono, and that works without problems.
I suspect the standard headset shorts one of the signal lines to ground to give the answer/end function, but don't know which one.
HTH
Hey Astage can you tell me the Headset you using with single headset?
I am not heavy music listener, and I want a wired headset with single speaker ...
I will check plantronics sites also...
Please update me with the model which works fine with Wired Single Headset.
dont forget that you can use completely normal headphones in the Jasjar, this means (as posted Astage) meaning the ring that is the odd one out, compared to normal headphones, is used for both the Mic and the button. If nokia's are anything to go by the button will switch in a resistance of a certain value to indicate it has been pressed (this is because if the Mic is a coil mic it will already read as 0 ohms, a straight short to ground)
Mniko: Unfortunately this will not help you - I have the Plantronics M130 - however, as I said, I had to wire a different plug onto it.
The problem is that most single-ear headsets come fitted with a 3-ring 2.5mm diameter plug, wired as:
Plug tip: Microphone
1st ring: Ear-piece
Top ring: Ground
The Exec/Universal and other microphone+stereo headsets seem to use a larger 4-ring 3.5mm plug wired as per my earlier message. Because of the different wiring for the microphone signal you cannot just use a 2.5 to 3.5mm converter - even if you can find one. The situation is made worse if the headset (e.g. Plantronics) has a microphone sensitivity switch built into the plug, as you may need to also transfer this into the new plug.
Ice_coffee: Thanks for the update - saved me having to cut mine open.
yes I understand.... the prob is 2.5 & 3.5mm... I dont think any headset available around 3.5mm with mic and single headset, that made me to cut off the second speaker, which I already did...
I found one on http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm
But they dont seems to have it anymore... I really wonder how come HTC didnt thought of it... after all universal is a phone to rite?
Ok well, using my multimeter and some maths I figured out that
1) Under normal circumstances the jasjar sees the mic as a 1000 ohm load
2) It knows when you have pressed the button because the load drops from 1000 ohms to a mere 45 ohms
3) you could acheive this by putting an 47ish ohm resistor on a switch in parallel with the mic, using this info you can construct a working headset from almost any headset on the market, most notably the many many headset/mic combos available for PC's
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.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main.asp?unit=HTC_Advantage-895&area=accessories&item=PPCPADPT17
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.

but maybe causing malfunction the microphone ?
thanks a lots, i will try to change my earbud,
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
I have already tried 2 different headsets with my i9000.They were working fine in the beggining but now the left one works in a VERY low volume.I tried with voodoo but nothing changed.Can someone help me with Service Mode.I think there is the problem and the solution .thanks!
U broke ur head phones, simple as that.

I already said that i have tested another pair and they work fine in listening music etc.When the audio jack is a simple 2way then the music works fine.When i insert a 3way(with mic) audio jack, samsung & 3rd party earphones with mic, one speaker doesnt work even nearly as loud as the other.
Maybe low battery, u may have not noticed low battery.

That's because the 3 way audio jack is meant for apple products, I had this problem before until I realised that you had to hold down the mic button. If you want these to work you can buy adapters on ebay on the cheap.
i have the same problem after installing cm 7.1 - earphones works with any other device, but not with my sgs. holding down mic button doesn't work. I tried to use adaptors added to my urbanears headset (dedicated for nokia / other devices) - still the same issue.
well isnt there any way the Service mode can alter to balance the speakers?I have used voodoo with great results in normal earphones 2way-jack,but on the 3way it becomes a little loud but not as the other speaker!Abput the adaptors i have noticed people who worked for them and people who didnt.What adapter is the most <trustworthy>?
If you are using headset (earphone+mic+remote) for Apple or HTC, get a 3.5mm male to female TRRS adapter.
This will solve your problem.
No i am using the original samsung headset and another headset to check if the samys if faulty!i am fooling around inside service mode but cant find anything.How do i revert any changes back to stock in the Service mode?
anyone get to the bottom of this - driving me mad !
original headset - v low volume - increases when you push mic button
very weird
Original Sammy-made headphones (3 way) work fine on sgs. I had problem like this because I was simply not plugging 'em down and now headphones work normally. Since 3-way female 3.5mm is unified for all devices, you have to try to blow out all dust out of the phone 'cuz audio port isn't covered like usb or this plug in as far as possible.
I am also facing same sort of problem, most of the headphones don't work during call but do work on music

I have tried everything - phones are definitely pushed in properly - port is clean , as asrafw says phone volume on headset is fine for music - just rubbish for calls . Asra does your mic key on headset being held increase volume ?
I have found the opposite - do not push them all the way down then they work fine !
Headphones
You have to buy an iPhone-Nokia adapter, or switch the ground and data pins on any other headphone, which is designed iPhone-style.
To verify that the headset is that kind, if you press the middle button, then you should hear the music clearly.
Or buy headphones made for Nokia or Sony (Ericsson) products.
Even Samsung have changed to the new style with Galaxy Tab, so no proof that if it works with newer Samsung products, then it will work with our phones.
Have you tried a neutral stereo adapter. I got one with my UrbanEars headphones and they work well with it attached.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Yes, the middle button (mic) does improve volume - so what you are saying is that these headsets never worked properly ever !
Do you have a photo of the adapters you 2 are using - just want to make sure I get it right ,
cheers
This is a pic of my cable. I noticed last night that the headphone plug itself is a little different than the neutral stereo plug in that the neutral plug on has two coloured bands whereas the headphone plug has 3. This must be the difference between I pods and earlier androids.

thanks - I presume that is 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor ?
Hmmm think its a 2-way / 3-way thing rather than a size thing.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
so boths end of jack are 3.5mm ?
