I'm looking for a headphone to be alternative to original htc headphone. Mine's jack is broken because of its structure. The htc headphone has a straight jack head. But most of the headphones in the parket are not straight, they are mostly shaped "L". So when you use headphone when your phone is in your pocket, the jack head of the headphone can be twisted. In time, the connection between jack and wire can be severed.
I couldn't find much to alternative htc headphone. As you know htc headphone has 3 buttons on it(prev,answer,next) and a mic. The headphones that I've found in my country are:
Nokia WH-701 : http://europe.nokia.com/find-produc...ts/wired-headsets/nokia-stereo-headset-wh-701
Philips SHH4507 : http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/...ink_ServiceWarrantyInformation_GB&mode=iframe
I don't know if the "prev" and the "next" buttons works with htc desire. Actually I want to ask for that. Does any other headphone that has 3 button work with Htc Desire?

im thinking of using a 2.5mm - 3.5mm adapter and use a carkit (the cassette tape that plugs into the earphone slot). will that work?
not 100% sure what you mean but i sure havent seen any 2.5m to 3.5m converters which can be used for anything but output
and a headphone slot on a tape player would well be output and not input
Perhaps you're referring to the tape-alike thingie that looks like a tape but has a mini-jack for audio-input?
I would assume that would work. If the "tape" works in your car stereo with input from the jack, this will also work.
Worked fine for me with the original xda (both the 2.5 to 3.5mm adaptor and the cassette adapter). I used it to listen to radio comedies that I had recorded as mp3s and WMAs.
With the xda2 I had problems though. My 2.5 to 3.5mm adaptor was too bulky to fit snugly against the xda2 and it wouldn't stay fully in place. Even when I held it in place I found it difficult to get sound from both left and right. Might be better with a different adaptor (bought mine from Maplin a few years ago).
2.5mm > 3.5mm
I mentioned this in another post but if you can solder try a cheapo heandfree adapter from the pound shop / dollar store. Make sure it's one with the 3 black rings not 2 cut the cable before the mic and stick a 3.5mm stereo socket on with costs about 50p
I have tried everything, anything and had to make my own.
The problem is thy: you either get a 2 channel mix to both ears, left channel in both ears, right channel in both ears, or sound in only one lughole.
I had to crank open my handsfree and solder in a 3.5mm jack. Works beautifully with my Shure E2C's - very happy.
Just bought a bluespoon chameleon and now i use that a bit of the time, and don't really use my xda as an mp3 player.
Before I bought my bluespoon, I would have desoldered the microphone and attach a 3.5mm jack for that - for a tie-clip mic.
I made my own converter, if you buy the 2.5mm jack plug from maplins (the black rounded plastic one) it needs a little bit of sanding and it fits perfect.
In answer to the orginal question, yes that will work fine
thanks for the replies guys. will post feedback when i get this thing to work.
Hi everyone,
Is there an in-ear earbud replacement for the wired stereo headset that come as a standard accessory with the Diamond?
I do not have small ears by any means, but the standard headset has always been uncomfortable and I much prefer the in-ear variety.
Thanks!
bump ?
hi ive seen some for sale on ebay different to the standard Diamond jobbies ive got to say after moving from sony ericsson plug in headset the htc is very poor
i hate the button that doesnt actually disconnect the call just place it on hold
scan the bay there are headsets available
good luck

Another thing would be to get an audio extension cable for Diamond and use any of 2.5 or 3.5mm headsets...that Sennheiser MM50 for iPhone is good for sure and it should work with that setup.
I'm looking for a music headphones, the one i have from the htc is good, but i want one with for music.
So im wondering if i should buy the HTC Touch Diamond Stereo Headset HS S200 (ExtUSB) found here or should i get HTC Touch Diamond Wired Remote Control RC E100 or HS U110 and just get a normal headphones to use with the 3.5mm adapater such as the as norm 3.5mm headset like the SENNHEISER MM50 but with the 3.5mm plugin.
I have used RC E100 with myold Cruise and it is a good choice. The fact that you could use own headphones made the quality perfect and as a bonus you have full playback and call control. I am not sure if it is still compatible with Diamond though. Also I have broken 2 of those in short time, but I was using them quite rough.
Does anyone know of a headphone adapter with audio controls and and a mic? I'm think of something similar to the mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter than came with the G1, but obviously with a 3.5mm connector for the phone.
I like the controls on the bundled headphones but the audio quality and noise isolation is terrible. I want to be able to use my Sennheisers but still pause and skip songs. I'm sure I could splice the bundled control module into my headphones but I'd rather not hack up an expensive set.
Alternately, does anyone know of a software solution to map one of the buttons to perform pause/skip functions? Having to unlock the phone to pause and skip or use a fugly lock screen replacement is not ideal.
i would like to know this as well
I've got two sets that I really like. Skull Candy FMJ are my favorite. Great sound isolation. Kinda spendy, but well worth it. A lower cost and nearly as good option is a Best Buy brand vmoda headset. Sound isolation with inline mic witha button which is basically a start/pause button for the audio. It works great for what I use it for.
Hmm. I'd prefer just a simple adapter so I can keep using my Sennheiser CX 300-II's (especially since I just replaced them this summer after leaving my old set on an airplane). Do you have the v-modas? I don't want them, but I want to make sure that iPod controls also work on the G2. If so I may check out the Etymotic mc3 or hf3.
Look at radio shack for what you are looking for. I'm pretty sure I saw something to what you are looking for. Here it is...

I have the v-moda vibe duo, the jaybird freedom, and zagg smartbuds. All three work great. Zagg has the coolest feature of any headphones I've had with the way they designed them and are my go to. V-moda has the best bass of the three and jaybirds are perfect for working out it. All three mic and controls work.

Ouch! $40 for a simple mic and control button adapter? I may just start cutting and splicing cheap headsets to see if that works.

i have sony ericsson mw-600 stereo bluetooth adapter/headset if you want a more wireless option. it has OLED display and controls on the mic clip, and stereo adapter to plug in your own headphones/ear buds if you dont like the stock ones.
I am looking for a bluetooth headset that has a FM radio and stereo 3.5mm out. The FM radio is very important to me because I can't get cell reception inside my office building but I can get FM reception. I also can use the FM at the gym to hear what's on the TV's. What would also be great is if it could double as a pendant-style when using the stereo out and also serve as a mono earpiece. Another good feature is a clip that allows me to clip the thing to my shirt.
Here is an example of almost-but-not-quite, the Samsung HM6450:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004R9PSL6
I own one. It has some nice features, like English-audio indicators for power on, etc. No more mystery beeps you have to remember the meanings of. It is also intended to be used with Samsung's Android phones, and work with a special Android app. However, it is not without drawbacks. For starters, it has no FM radio. Second, to use 3.5mm stereo requires a rather long adapter to be connected to the microUSB slot -- otherwise you're stuck with using the special microUSB earbuds that come with it.
This one looked like a good candidate -- the i.Tech Clip D-Radio:
http://www.amazon.com/i-Tech-D-Radi..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1308112051&sr=1-2
The problem is it's out of stock. It also can't be used as a mono earpiece the way the Samsung can.
Last but not least is Sony Ericsson's MW600:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B003DQ1DCM/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
I don't own one but it looks good. There are two drawbacks -- you can't use it as a mono earpiece like the Samsung, and the power connector is not standard microUSB, so it doesn't have the flexibility I'd like it to have.
Also, I will mention I have a couple pairs of these excellent Sony earphones:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRQ68LW-Clip-On-Headphones-Black/dp/B000TDAXJ6/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_2
The key feature they have is their RETRACTABLE CORDS. Yep, the main cord retracts into the left speaker while the left-right connecting cord retracts into the right speaker. The ear clips are also far above average. No more cord mess, and potentially it could work very well with the MW600 for mono phone duties -- keep the cords retracted but still plugged into the MW600, leave the combination clipped to my shirt, and then when the phone rings I just clip the left earphone on and let the right earphone and MW600 hang free. Then if I want to hear better I just extend the right earphone and clip it on as well.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone has any better suggestions for a stereo bluetooth unit that has a FM radio.
Go with sony ericson mw600...I use it with my Epic, and it works nicely
Yeah I'm using the MW600 now and like it overall, particularly with the Sony retractable headphones. Two issues I do have with the MW600:
1) The rewind/play/forward buttons are black, with raised black symbols, on the black MW600 case. Someone at Sony should be shot. I'm tempted to paint the symbols myself...
2) The "volume slider" strikes me as someone at Sony wanting a bonus for getting a patent for an interface device that's inferior to old-fashioned up/down buttons.
Maybe I am late for this thread but the MW600 does have a MicroUSB port, it is a great product except for the gripes mentioned with the buttons.
