Was wonder had anyone tried this?
Will it work with a "normal" headphone and allows u to use headphone to listen to a call while using the phone mic to talk to?
Is this the same $18 adapter that other ppl say it works?

Actually I think this is an adapter from the 2.5mm socket on the iPhone 2G to a 3.5mm socket.
But the newer iPhones (3G/GS, 4) already have a 3.5mm socket, as does the Galaxy S and most other smartphones released in the past year or so.

Ok....I've fought with finding an adapter to go from 2.5mm to 3.5mm for ages now. Everything I've read indicates it needs to be 4 pole etc etc....I'm aware of that. However, every one I've tried is still producing mono output. For kicks, I've tried the following ALL with mono results:
-Blackberry Pearl stereo headset
-RadioShack catalog #274-004 3/32" to 1/8" Stereo Headset adapter (why wouldn't this work?)
-Just Wireless 08351 Stereo Adapter 2.5mm to 3.5mm from (Target/BestBuy)
-BodyGlove Stereo Sport Headset 7489401 (BestBuy)
Now, when I say these produce mono output, what I'm really saying is that there is only one channel of audio whatsoever...the other earpiece is totally silent.
Anyone had any luck finding something at a retailer without ordering online? I'll order if I have too though. Thanks.

remeber google is your friend!
(btw, this is a 4 pole connector, the reason why all they othere ones youve tried doesnt work is cause they were three poled and the contacts dont match up)
The specs on this RadioShack adapter is specifically 4 pole....I checked that first. In fact, the packaging description reads:
"Turns a 3/32" 4-pole wireless phone headset jack into a 1/8" stereo headphone jack"
Check this link and you'll see what I'm talking about: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2603246&cp
I knew it needed to be 4 pole, and that's what I'm saying...every supposed 4 pole adapter I've tried hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?
NOTE: Also note I said I tried the Blackberry Pearl headset, which is also a 4 pole headset jack on taht phone so theoretically that headset should have worked perfectly.
i used to work at radioshack and i can tell you they dont carry any adapters that work with smartphones, i cant tell how many customers came in looking for the same thing.. the adapter on ebay works its just like the one i have
The problem is simple. Look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the headphones that came with your phone, then look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the adapter. You will notice that the base of the adapter is way bigger than those on the headphones and this prevents you from pushing the adaptor as far in the hole as it needs to be.
Stupid idiots at The Source were trying to tell me that it wouldn't work because of voltage...
Anyways, when buying an adapter, just make sure that the base of the 2.5mm is small enough so that it'll fit into the recessed 2.5mm in your phone. It is okay if it's just the three pin plug, it will still be in stereo.
I have trouble finding compatible 2.5mm headset for the 2125 so i was wondering if there was a way to use a usb headset with the phone, sorry if its a stupid quesdtion.

Never heard of such a thing. Nearly all cellular hands free "headsets" are 2.5mm, so I guess you really mean headphones. Just buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter for your headphones.

nearly all pda's actually use mini usb headsets(TYTN,EXCALIBUR/DASH,etc.) i was wondering if these headsets could some how be used with the 2125. I cant find a 2.5mm headset that will play through both ear buds.
you can always find one 2.5mm stereo headset (the one come with tornado works great). I myself enjoy using the 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo headset adapter with my own boss headphone, it gives a really good quality sound. Try to get one from ebay

Um... little rusty on all the models, but not many of those are smartphones. Lots of adapters out there that do work. Unlikely any USB solution will. Not for poor little Tornado.
you guys are probably right, but i lost my headset that came with it and i want to buy another one with a mic you guys know any compatible ones?
Anything with a 2.5mm jack should be compatible. Have you considered a BT A2DP headphones/handsfree set?
I'm using a C3 from Sonorix and it's rather spiffy.

Remote control for music, call display, comes with and takes a standard 3.5mm headphones. Mic is in the clip-on receiver. Better with those newer shorter/detachable headphones so you don't have a mile of cable dangling about.
Crushers and S9s
I use the SkullCandy Crusher ONEs as a full sized wired headset on my SP5. http://www.a2zboardshop.com/more/59603905-Skullcandy-Skull-Crusher-Headphones-with-Subwoofer/. This headset\microphone is 2.5mm four connector by default and comes with a 3.5mm three connector slip-over adapter which I find so much better than a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male dongle when you use your phone.
For wireless, I had been using the Motoroloa S9 and could have lived with the ugle orange\red accents but the phone calls are always in single channel mono. The soon to be released S9-HD is all black and you can hear the caller in both ears.
I would be interested in any in-ear stereo headset with a 2.5mm four connector plug. Even more so if it had a a microphone.

I have one exactly like this and it works great. Good luck!
I have the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/internet_headsets_phones/devices/223&cl=AU,EN
It has 2x 3.5mm plugs. One for the headphones, the other for the mic. Is there an adapter that I can use to plug this into my HTC Diamond? Often time's while I'm at work I'm answering calls on my cell and wouldn't mind having this hooked up to it while I'm working....
you could use the standart adapter by htc because it also has an microphone so u are able to answer your calls also^^
or maybe use the standart adapter and get a y-3,5mm cabel, i know that there is any excisting
Maybe something like this:

Standard adapter is not equiped in microphone. You can not connect also 2 3,5mm because this standard adapter has one 3,5 mm and 2nd smaller input for mic ( I do not know what is this standard but it is deffinitly not 3,5 mm) . Once I was trying to recreate this little jack and use headset that I was using for Skype the result was not succesfull so I just abandoned the idea to use different headset than originally equiped by HTC.
It's not exactly what you want, but but I have this from brando:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02369
You can use it to connect any 3.5mm headphone, but not the mic. But there is a microphone inside the 3.5mm jack.
Hi
I wanted to buy a mini-usb to 3.5mm audio adapter for Zinc-ii phone so that I can use my regular headset for listening songs. I couldn't find a mini-usb adapter for Zinc-ii but I got one generalized adapter (mini-usb to 3.5mm audio). When I attached the adapter to Zinc-ii, it is not routing the audio through the adapter. It triggered the activesync tool first time and it failed for obvious reason because it is a 3.5mm adapter not a computer.
1. Is there any setting which I have to do for routing the audio through the adapter?
2. Is there a place where I can buy a 3.5mm audio adapter if there is a special one for zinc-ii? The headset came with the device is working perfectly fine.
Thanks
i made myself a cable using the original zinc2 headphones get a solder ,wires and 3.5 plug dats it ... or i cud sell mine for lets say 10 gbp + delivery ... i got htc now
Thanks. I will settle for Acoustic Research bluetooth minibridge available in circuitycity website selling for $20
Is there a cable similar to this for the Epic?

I'll likely be upgrading from a TP2 next month. One of the main multimedia functions I use my phone for is for listening to podcasts in the car over the stereo's speakers. But obviously you also want to be able to charge it at the same time. And instead of having to fiddle with two cables for this every time it would nice if you could just use one.
I don't think so. The reason the HTC phones had that was because they didn't have a 3.5mm jack on most of their older phones (correct me if I'm wrong about the TP2 but my Vogue required 2 adapters just to get a 3.5mm jack to plug my headphones in).

I had a feeling this probably wasn't available, but I had to ask as I've gotten accustomed to the ease of just plugging one cable in to my TP2.
I'm also not crazy about the USB slot being on the top as that creates some weird docking issues (not only for the car, but also at home.) But it's either this or the Evo and I was much more impressed with the Epic.

TP2 has a 3.5mm jack
The fact that desktop dock only has a micro-USB connection yet has a stereo out jack on the back (even though it doesn't work until 2.2) has me at least hopeful that maybe we'll eventually see a similar style adapter for the Samsungs. Heck, I'm tempted to try just slipping my miniUSC-to-micro-USB converter on my HTC version and seeing if that works.
Of course I don't have the phone yet. And it's not a big deal really as I just like having to only fiddle with one cable in the car.
Belkin Makes an adapter
I bought an ipod adapter that is suposed to convert the ipod style 3.5mm earphone jack with volume control to a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. When plugging standard headphones into my phone it would continue to play sound through the phone speaker, plug this Belkin Headphone adapter in and it seems to work perfectly. It in essence just ends the mic wire from the jack and disables the phone speaker.
