now i don't know how to explain this really, but here we go. five minutes ago, i decided to plug my hd2 headphones into my computer so i'd be able to listen to a movie. twice now, once in each ear, i've gotten SHOCKED. i thought for whatever reason, static could have charged and been stored inside the soft ear-bud covers. after being shocked inside of my right ear, i took them off (soft ear-bud covers) and put the Left ear-bud into my left ear. three minutes later, SAME THING. it seemed like it happened when there was cracking in the audio during the movie. i swapped them out, replayed the area where i heard the cracking, and wasn't shocked...with my old G1 ear-buds. i've got that really low carpet in my office and always get shocked when reaching for the doorknob, that's why i suggested static in the first place...or maybe it's just a crazy design flaw!? either way, it really did hurt and i don't know what course of action i should take. has anyone else experienced this?
rob
it's definitely the headphones. i've gotten up, walked around, sat down...and with my G1 headphones, i haven't gotten shocked once, even during the audio cracking in the movie! i guess i'll be calling tmobile.
I got shocked twice, then thought to myself,
"why am I using the stock headsets? I deserve to be shocked".

wow, thanks for your terribly pointless and stupid post. FYI, the fm radio app asks for the stock headphones to be plugged in as they double as an antenna.

Yep, I'm using my pair of Sennheiser ones for radio and anything else. As general rules, for every single mobile device, stock headphones suck monkey balls anyway. At least on my Sennheiser, I have noise isolation and some basses.
it may also be your computers sound card. ive owned many headphones over the time, but the ones i tried in my computer with a creative sound card shocked me. Now i have a Lenovo laptop, and have never experienced that with any headphones...
i would try the headset in another soundcard/pc jus to be sure what it is

I do exactly the same, I just can't stand those plug thingies in my ears. And of course, the quality of the Sennheiser is another world.
I have a strange issue with it though. Whenever I use the Sennheiser the phone auto-dials somebody from my favourite contacts list. I found out that if I wiggle the connector a little I can reproduce this effect. It also seems to be a problem reported on other HTC phones.
Should be related to the 4-ring (tip-ring-ring-base) connector on the stock earphone versus the 3-rings (tip-ring-base) on the Sennheiser. But how? Or is it?

I will probably also be buying an adapter, but I'd like to know where to get some headphones. The Tilt doesnt come with any does it?
YOu mean headphones that fit directly into the TyTN II without an adapter? DOn't know if any "good quality" ones exist. Just the normal horrible sounding ones.
My question would be, why would you want to invest money into a quality set of headphons that won't plug into any other devices? Isn't that kind of a waste? Esp when an adapter only costs about $5.
Not being a wise-ass, just not sure if I understand the question or the logic...

well the only reason i asked was when i got my t-mobile sda, the headphones it came with sounded great! so i was assumeing if there were ones actually for the Kaiser/Tilt they too would sound good.
btw i thought usb would get better quality than an audio jack would?
I probably will get an adapter, which one looks better of the 3?

i would NOT get the first one, that's because the jack is silver plated while the other 2 are gold plated. Gold plated jacks give you better sound quality as it transfers signals better, but from the 2 other ones...they look the same, so i would just get the cheaper one.

To be honest, i just got a stereo bluetooth headset, coz now i can listen to music and make calls cable free. If you really want a connected answer though, i dont know anything about the propriety headphones, but from my experience i would stay AWAY from jacks that include a built in microphone...they advertise it, but it's really useless and has HORRIBLE quality.
Hey could you post a link of those BT headphones you got. I am interested in getting one but wasn't sure if you could make calls with them as well. Thanks in advance.
I picked up one of these for mine. I like having the controls handy, particularly talk/end.
does the 8525/hermes come with headphones? if so, were they any good? where can i get some like that?

There are 2 really good Stereo Bluetooth headphones. If you like headphones that go behind your head kind of headphones, then go for the Motorola HT820, if you like ones that cover your ear, but are not humongous, then go for the Plantronics 590A or 590E (they are the same, but the A version comes with a bluetooth adapter that you can connect to any 3.5mm jack and you would then be able to listen to music through that. Amazon actually has a VERY good sale on the Plantronics, http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Pulsar-Bluetooth-Headset-Adapter/dp/B000BK1QSE.
I have used both the plantronics and the HT820, and they are both very good.
Now if you dont like those, and you want an earbud style...you can get the SONY HBH-DS970, but i havent tried those yet.
Hope that helps!

Well i think they are the same pair of headphones, no?
what i mean is that they are not as good as the ones that you can buy separately.
I actually think the headphones included with the 8525 sounded pretty good. Not audiophile good, but good to the point that I would find myself thinking, hey these sound pretty darn good!
I know you can get them thru the ATT/Cingular accessory on line store (have to Google for a link). They make a set with a mic that you can use if you get or need to make a call. I personally hate adaptors as I have a tendency to lose them. o I like just being able to pull out the headset and not worry if I misplaced the adaptor. That's just me, though!

yea thats the way i am, dont really like adapters. only problem with buying the accessories from at&t is they're usually 40-50$, when really you can get a pair of good hedphones for under 20$ somewhere else, along with an inexpensive adapter.
so whats the concensus? Where can I get headphones with a mic for this $800 phone?? Whats the best option out there? Does nobody really make a good set for this device? I find it hard to believe.
A good option may be the Sony HBH-DS220. This is a bluetooth headset with A2DP and a microphone but you can plug in your own headphones. The earbuds that come with it are very good though. I have the same earbuds on my Sony Walkman phone and they are the best and comfiest buds i have ever used.

Dave - Do you know if the DS220s have a caller ID display? The photo appears to show some kind of tiny display but I can't really tell. Thanks.
I'm not sure. It does look like there is a screen but there is no mention of it.
Looks like the screen is just for pairing and battery life.

I was wondering if anyone has ever bought or tried this headset before.
I was thinking about getting it to use with my phone, instead of having to carry around both some headphones and that adapter that came with my Fuze. It also works with answering the phone, so that's great as well.
http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-stereo-headset/73A74A1450.htm
I don't have that one but I can see it would simpler than having to lug the adapter around. I did buy this to use with my Fuze:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/dualadapter/retractable-dual-handsfree-stereo-adapter-at_t-fuze_3350.htm
It's a bit more expensive than the one you're looking at but I figure this way I can choose whatever set of headphones w/ 3.5mm jack I want to use. Beats having to carry the adapter that came with the Fuze.
I've had that headset. It's not too bad.

You do know that they're are smaller adapters around, right?
It's similar to that but not as long. Using that one along with some headphones and you've got a jump rope length cord to lug around lol.

Yes, I do know there are shorter adapters but most of the ones I've seen don't have a mic built in. The shorter ones are fine if you're just listening to music or whatever but the one I bought will mute the music when a call comes in and will unmute the music when I'm done. I keep mine short by not uncoiling it completely. Like you said, it would be a jump rope, if I did.

No problem. I have the OEM HTC headset too but I went the route I did with the adapter because I wanted to be able to use my favorite Sennheiser headphones on my long train ride home each evening. I can tune out all the noise on the train and not miss calls too.

how do you like the headset?
Hey there, Im wondering if it's only my set that has this problem or not. I have spare htc's and apples earphones and both of them have mic.s for hands free talking. However when I plug them in to listen to music, sound appears all fuzzed up, certain frequencies such as bass are gone and/or comes out of only one side. The only way to fix this is by holding down the play/stop buttons found on these earphones. When I hold down the button, music playbacks just fine... Had problems with my headphones jack before and had it repaired but I noticed this phenomenom before the fix as well. Can any one test this out as well?
This is a known situation, there are two different ways used to connect the four wires to the jack-plug, HTC and some others use one method, and Nokia and Samsung use the other method.
Basically this means that unless you buy a special adapter/converter, the only headphones suitable for your SGS are some aftermarket sets and earphones from a Nokia phone.
Hope that this helps.
Yeh . Look for nokia n97 headsets

But will all third party Headphones work? I guess it would be better to go for those without microphones then, and to check if it works before buying. Thanks guys and sorry if this has already been answered...
That is god damned retarded. I'll have to sit through three hours of mad banter and public displays of affection in this train because someone decided to put their audio jack wires a bit different. This should be illegal.
Headphones should with fine. It's the mike that won't work. I've used apple and phillips headphones and they work fine. If you want to use custom headphones with a mike that works I've heard that you can get a nokia adapter that connects into the phone and headphones into it that should work. Can't remember the model number sorry.
Just had a look on ebay, think it's a nokia ad-43. Think it has the mike built into it though.

Oops.... my brain just infringed on at least one of their patents....
Seriously though... any comments on call quality (in and out) on the headset?
Thinking of getting a Note, quick question regarding the headset. Does it come apart above the handsfree mic so that you can connect your own buds?
If not is there a handsfree cable I can buy that would do this?
I use them over my Klipsch S4i's cause of the built in controls, and I love my S4i's.
My only complaint is that these headphones are two big for my ears... I have tried to use the smallest that was included but still too big..I Think my ears do not like earphones..

call quality is fine on both ends!
i had a samsung s2 before and it was really suck. when i get my note, i dont even bother to open it at all. until one day my apple earpiece is spoilt. and then i notice that the note earpiece comes with volume control. the sound quality is so good that the crispiness of the sound is almost perfect!!! OMG!
You cannot plug your own headphones into the samsung pair, it's solid.
Personally I think there is no bass, and for music the sound is dull.
Treble is not amazing as well, I'd cut it, and solder a female 3.5" connector, make it plug-able.
I hate them. I hate earplugs that goes in the ear, so i'm still using my HTC plugs that IMO has better bass than Samsung's.

Thanks man
I was able to connect my Sennheiser over the ear headphones easily, but my cheapo Skullcandy Earbuds won't stay all the way in, and it's a bummer..... It has a smallish jack too, so its not like the case and jack press against each other...
The first day I was in the library and opened the N7 in a reading cubicle. Just to test the sound, I put in my skullcandy headphones and played a song from Google play. After a bit, I saw everyone was looking at me weirdly. Then I noticed the sound was coming out of the speakers, not the headphones.
Bottomline:
You need to really push it in. However, it's not a great deal to me. And it works fine !
Yes I was scared to push it in at first because I thought It would break, on e everything's fine
