[Q] Working headphone adapters

i have the akg k370 whcih dont work with my SGS, since the order of the pins is differend (mic and ground are switched).
since i love that headset im looking for a working adaptor
i couldnt find any in the internet
so far i managed to solder my own from an old adapter which didnt use its microphone pin.
but since it looks...lets say...selfcrafted im looking for one that works that u dont have to cut open and change the pins your self (or add a wire as i did)
if u know of any working ones which use all 4 pins and switch ground and mic pls tell me where i can buy em...

Similar issue here. I have Dr. Dre Beats and from what I've found from reading through is that I need to switch the ground/mic wires? I can do this if necessary and can even get a nice job done of it, but wouldn't this break my headset for other phones/players?
Point being a nice adapter would be sweet.

I bought this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290460258359&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still waiting it gets here.

Surely if the ground connection was different then no standard plugs/phones would work or does the phone dynamically change the ouputs on pins depending on what's plugged in (since it has to support tv out as well)?

got the same ones, they work fine.

those adaptors and the nokia ones work, but they make the cable too long besides considering that the headsets mentioned already has a mic and you add another adaptor mith a mic, its simpler to just have an adaptor that switches the mic and ground terminals around
so what i did is i made this

i took my nokia ad-57 adaptor, cut the wire, cannibalized a female 3.5mm 4pole from some generic adaptor, soldered the wire so that ground from the 3.5male is soldered to the second ring from tip. thus, simply, the female of the adaptor is wired like an iphone compatible, and the male is wired galaxy s compatible.
if you cant be bothered to diy, you can get this http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
but at 18$ plus shipping, i just think it is too expensive, lol

Another adapter.It's the same as yours but is way too expensive too http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
The good thing is that it's premade. No soldering and cutting

damn, that's expensive. but I guess it'll be worth it to make my "expensive" headphones work, lol.

i found one on DX, comes with MIC so you can asnwer the phone and listen without taking out the headphones
waiting for it to arrive and test to see if it's compatible with SGS

I had to stick black tape around my mic button on the headphones I used to use on my iPhone, I kept the same headphones cause they were amazing sound and pricey and didn't want to chuck them away, Didn't realize it would be a problem lol, I want one of these adapters from a Uk store

Ordered an adapter from KVConnection, works like a charm! I think it's worth the price, considering I didn't have the time/tools/parts to make this by myself.

You can say that the adapter is good, perfect,excellent,nice,ok,etc but not worth at all 17$ for wires is pure stealing

I got a blackberry headset from my local street market. The earphones that came with it sound horrible, and the mic is a bit soft. There is no need to change anything however and the button works.
I'm planning on using it with the aux in of my car radio. With computer speakers it seemed to work (no echo). And it works well with a headphone.

I really want to know before I pay for the ripoff adapter from the kvs. Site. Thanks!

^^ what he said

earphone

hey guys, does the soundmagic mp21 mic works with samsung galaxy s? if not, any earphone with mic for recommendation?
thanks.

I hear that the klipsch s2m works for the sgs, but can't confirm it. You can always consider a transformer with mic, that you can use normal 3.5 plug instead of pin

I have Klipsch S2m and it works with my Vibrant so it must work with i9000.

Ow, great. Can you tell your experiens with them. What kind of sound works best for them and build quility?

Honestly, I am a wannabe audiophile. I am just starting to get into the world of audiophile. An audiophile friend of mine suggested it to me cuz it was on sale.
I would say the sound is pretty good. It is a direct sound and definitely not soft or anything. As far as calls go, I have good experience with these so I am pretty happy.
I don't have any problems with these so far so I think they are good.

good to hear cause I am also browsing around looking for a replacement ear/mic headset.
I do really hope this works for our SGS because this model Klipsch S2m is also listed in the apple store as iphone compatible. and to my knowledge iphone heatsets do not work with SGS.
so I'm a little confused ...

It is advertised as iPhone compatible but it does work with my vibrant... idk what is happening...
Actually, my friend said my phone would work before I bought it so...

Nokia AD-54 / HS-45 adaptor’s inline mic works on my international i9000GT, and many others have reported it working on other variants of Galaxy S.
IMO this is the best option right now because it lets you connect your own headphone .

P.S : None of the call/media buttons work though..

Does anyone know of any good headset adapters that actually work?
I would use the Samsung stock headset but they HAD to be in-ear, I can't use in-ear because my ears block up easily.
I want something simple like the post above but I want one that has a functional media key.
Also, how do you guys SKIP SONGS?! D:

you can use any phones with nokia adaptors, but not iphone compatible phones.
the mic/ground terminals are not the same
i have a triplefi10vi and i had to make an adaptor to switch the ground and mic around for the inline mic to work
works fine and sound is definitely awesome

For those who are interested the Sennheiser MM50 for Nokia v2 work perfectly fine! Exactly like the MM50 for iPhones that I had before then.
I would post a link to what they look like but unfortunately I'm not allowed to!

They will work as intended. Pick up/drop a call, pause/play music and mic works as well, a mic really!
Only issue I have come across is with Froyo JP1/JP3/JPC, where if you keep pulling and plugging the earphones in, the buttons will not work as intended, but after you reset the phone it works as normal.
JPK seems to be working fine and Eclair on the other hand works perfectly fine!
Also there is only one button on this earphone.

Hi..
has anyone tested a Denon AH-C560R IEM? does the mic & remote function?

I'm planning to buy one since we cannot use normal earphones while calling.

[Q] Is there a Wired Remote for DHD beside the lame one it comes with?

Apart from the very ordinary wired remote that comes with the DHD, does anyone know if there's another HTC or a third party wired remote that will work with the DHD?
I'm after something with music controls (back and forward, play / pause and of course volume control). Additionally being able to plug your own headphones in is a MUST.
The RC E100 (below) would be PERFECT, but it's not for the DHD (apparently?). Anyone successfully modded this for the DHD?

+1 here. I dont know but by somehow the stock earphones come with the DHD are ********IT! Even worse than some non-branded 2nd earphones out there

I am really interested in a product like this. The oem earphone from the box is a joke.

Yes, some more voices!
Surely there are more people who use their DHD to play music and surely they have their own headphones that are far superior in quality to the OEMs that come with the DHD.
I actually use two different pairs of headphones each day. A nice Sennheiser inner-ear ear bud pair, and an over the head "cup" pair by Audia-Technica. I use the ear buds when I'm out and on the go; walking, on the train, etc. I use the over the head pair when I'm sitting at the desk. So obviously the need for using your own 'phones is there.
If it's a matter of compatibility, surely the RC E100 can be used with our DHDs, right? I double checked and it can be used on the HTC Magic, which I had prior to the DHD! It uses a standard mini USB A connection. Different to the USB socket of the DHD, but I bet it can be modded.

yes please that would be great is someone can share his experience on any remote controls , been lookinf for some since aquite a while now

This might help: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications...-google-_-dig_cam-_-150731&CAWELAID=304715334
If I can find one cheap enough I'm willing to give it a go, Only 1 on ebay though and its £15.....

I read somewhere that one would need drivers too, as the RC E100 isn't made for the DHD.
Edit: But hey, if you can try it out for everyone that'd be mighty awesome of you.
Edit: Here's the official product page for the RC E100. Note that the DHD is not listed as supported. http://www.htc.com/hk-en/product/accessory/headset_rc-e100.html

Could just be a case of getting the pinout info for the dhd and matching it with a converter to the Hero? Ill have a further look and report back....
Anyone know where we get the software?

I just found this thread under the HTC Leo category: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594932
Also, over at HTCpedia, they have a page on the RC E100, and there's a link at the bottom to an adaptor that may work for it?

I tried soldering a stereo mini-jack on to the supplied headset after cutting off the headphones. Should've worked, but my soldering skills are somewhat useless.

the included earphone is very good, much to my surprice and for £3.34 I think it is a bargain. you press once to pause and play, press twice to fast forward three times to backforward.
I am using CM7 rom and with Poweramp player. I've not check if it works with sense.

Sorry if this is a really stupid question, just it doesn't say on the eBay page that it works for the DHD... So does it work with the DHD?

As I said, I am using it on my DHD with CM7 nightly ROM and it work with PowerAMP. I don't use Sense Rom and its build-in player so I can't say if it will work for certain. I can't see why not but it is for you to find out.
The only down side I can think of is that there is no valume control on this remote.

The HTC YCA300 is another ExtUSB breakout adaptor the same as the RCE100. Only it doesn't have controls.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=171922
The first issue that would need to be overcome is that the adapters are ExtUSB whereas the DHD is MicroUSB.
Even if an adapter could be used to convert Female MiniUSB/ExtUSB to Male MicroUSB then the chances are that it wouldn't work straight off and would require that driver - but again there's no guarantee that it would work with the DHD...

http://www.jabra.com/sites/mobile/na-us/products/pages/jabrabt3030.aspx
that's what i use. basically it's a remote for my phone. If i've got my earphones plugged into the DHD while the bluetooth thing is connected, the sound still goes through the audio jack of the dhd, so it really only acts as a remote for me.

Shame it's not a wired remote, as using Bluetooth is another battery drain the DHD certainly doesn't need.

would this work as an adapter ?

Bluetooth audio to 2 devices

I heard that we'll be able to stream audio 2 pairs of Bluetooth headphones at once.
I've assume this will also be true for Bluetooth speakers such as the ones we're getting free in the UK?
But does that free Samsung Level Box Slim speaker pair with multiple devices? Obviously not for streaming from 2 phones at once if you get what I'm saying?
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

nope. The S8/S8+ are the only phones on the market with Bluetooth version 5.0, which enables the ability to stream audio to 2 separate devices. Most devices that pair to phones, can only be paired to 1 phone at a time, which is unfortunate. Really wish I could have 2 phones paired with my bluetooth headset for work and personal phones =-=.

Mkbhd just did a video on bluetooth 5 on the s8, its removed now, but its not like he controlled the audio to each speaker separately he was just playing the same tune to both at the same time. Not sure what the purpose of that is or if its that impressive.

I could see this being nice for having kids use the phone instead of a Y headphone plug, but use bluetooth headsets for the same songs, or video, etc.
I'm sure there are other instances, but for me personally it's kind of a worthless feature.

I wasnt thinking about having 2 devices connected at the same time more how many devices those speakers can be paired to without having to go through the whole pairing process again? For example my car can have up to 6 phones paired with it making it simple to swap which one it is using. If that makes sense?

yea I know what you mean. Thats a feature that I would imagine they would be highlighting as the main reason to buy the device. I dont see anything stating whether it has it or not, so chances are no. Like I said I am waiting for a bluetooth headset that can pair with my work phone and my personal phone at the same time.

This will be nice when I'm traveling with my girlfriend or with friends that have Bluetooth headphones. Sure you can use a headphone splitter but kind of restricts movement

Using this with headphones makes a bit more sense rather than speakers, but even 2 connections is still a bit of a limitation but still better than nothing i guess.

Anyone know if the 2 streams have a way to balance latency between each device?

This should explains everything

Headphones and Adapters Sound Issues.

Hi, for anyone who has weak and low sound with headphones on our beloved Mi A2.
I have tried most of the cheap and expensive headphones that the majority of people can buy.
And the best one out there for the value of great sound and money is the one i have mentioned below. I bought for 15$ in Iraq.
This headphones just KILLS it .
Huwawei Classic Earphones USB-C Edition
Model : CM33
Ps. Not a commercial or anything, just an average users review.

@Ahmedstarr93 Are you on the latest Android Pie stable ROM?

have you tried the active noise cancellation from huawei?

I was on oneplus 3 previously and was using audiotechnica earphones which used to work great for my personal use. With MI A2 the problem is the USB c to headphone adapter. The sound quality gets degraded a lot due to it. I'm still looking for alternative USB c earphones. The one you mention I can't find them in India e-commerce site.
Does any fellow India direct me towards good USB c earphones which one can buy in India?

Just buy Google pixel dongle. Or you can by hidizs sonata dac from AliExpres (better than pixel dongle). No USB C headphone is better than your audio Technica one at this moment.

U may try type c pixel ear buds! Available through Flipkart!

I agree that any good jack headphone is better than most bluetooth ones. And also better than many c-type headphones.
I think that if you already own good headphones, is better (and cheaper) to buy a DAC dongle. I'm sure that hidizs sonate is great. I haven't tested it.
I can recommend Venture Odyssey DAC. Is very cheap and it sounds really great with our A2. Its signal to noise ratio is worse than hidizs's (113 vs 98 dB), but it is way cheaper.
The thing is that the combination of A2 DAC plus the passive USB-C dongle provided with the A2 sounds awful. Things are way better with another DACs.
Best regards
