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.

Here ya go

Bluetooth car stereo?

Is there a car stereo (or an adapter) that will let me stream audio from my phone to my car stereo? I have bluetooth on my phone (with the stereo A2DP protocol) and have tons of music on it. I have a stereo bluetooth headset that I use all the time. I was just thinking it would be awesome if I could have the output play thru my car stereo instead of my headset.
Does anyone know of a car stereo that does this? Or does anyone know of an adapter you can put on a car stereo to make it do this?
On that note- what are the best car stereos out there that have built in bluetooth for talking on the phone?

Sony has at least 2 model for this but I think the sound quality is not that good. Finally brought a JVC BT-1 and it's very good in sound quality.
Another route is to have a A2DP adapter w/ 3.5mm. Sony DS-205 is one of the best I tried in sound quality. Unlike others, the A2DP still work while charging.

Excellent, thanks for the info!

I have one of those sony xplode that have the built in bluetooth, it works great!
Alot of the new car head units you have to buy adaptors to enable bluetooth on them though. But like mentioned earlier there are some sonys that have it built in.

Frustrated with (lack) of new A2DP BT headsets

I have owned ~5 bluetooth headsets over the past 3 - 4 years and currently have been using the Plantronics Voyager 855 for over a year. Reason for this headset is I like to listen to streaming audio (XM & Sirius) on my phone in stereo and mono...this headset was the only one to offer decent quality sound in a compact package (no dongles hanging from my neck etc..) Problem is my headset is showing its age with shortened batt. life and the range is not what it used to be (also sound as a headset was never that great in noisy environments). My frustration is after almost 1.5 yrs I cant find any new headsets that support a2dp and come in a small package (cant be behind the head both sides like the S9). Jawbone headset has had out 3 different new models during the whole time i have had the 855 and still has not come out with one that supports a2dp...same with all other major manufacturers that I looked at. It just seems like now there is no push by manufactures to produce a mono or optional stereo headset in a small size (I love the blueant Q1 but again..no a2dp).
Anyone know of new headsets coming out that fit my description? Also looked at the use of the btaudio.cab file to "make" any BT headset stream audio ...anyone have experience using this? biggest concern in using this cab would be greatly reducing batt life on my BT.
Thanks

I had great success with nokias a2dp bt steroe headsets

Looking on Nokia web site I cant seem to find any in-the-ear headsets types that list A2DP as a feature. What is the model your using?

I'm having great success with my Lubix stereo headset.

I use BH-503 from nokia

Philips headphones or headsets compatible with i9000

As you all know that using 3rd party headphones with standard 3.5mm jack has always been an issue with the i9000. I just found out today that my 5 years old Philips SBC HS520 headset works fine with the i9000, amazing sound quality comparing to the stock headphones or even some of the entry level Senheiser. Bare in mind this headset was really cheap and the bass is more than adequate for linkin park. What I would like to discuss is that if anyone else has found any headphones that is good quality and works well with the I9000?

Im using Philips SHH1112 adapter and it works great together with my Sony NUDE earphones. The Sony works well too when connected to the galaxy directly.
There's a super cheap adapter that I've been using with HTCs.. Doesn't work here. I suspect its a size tolerance issue.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

For normal audio any head(ear)phone with a 3.5mm jack will work. The problem is getting the mic working on a call. I have used numerous in ear earphones, a headphone, a PC speaker system, the auxiliary input of my car Audio system, etc.. they all work. But have to take them off to make a call, unless I use an adapter with a built in mic (i.e Nokia AD-54 or a Bluetooth headset).

That's not the case - every standard headphone I've used works perfectly fine. Maybe you are referring to head/earphones with mic...
Anyway - I use the creative ep-630 and music sounds fantastic. You can pick these up for under $20...

Is your Audio jack stable? (Does your headphone cables pop out or stay in?)

I read a review where the reviewer said the cable would not fit well in the audio jack and so it would sometimes disconnect.
Anything you owners have noticed?

Fits perfectly on mine,

I've tried many headphones and earphones and they all seem to fit fine.
For some reason specifically the microphone on Samsung AKG earphones doesn't seem to work (Tried a few different ones)
