Hi folks,
apparently the headset that came with my XDA II device and which I use for listening to my music is in trouble. The left earphone is not working correctly. Most of the time it's completly mute but sometimes I get it to work by playing around and bending the cable right above or beneath the mike (the little thing you use to adjust volume, take and end calls). So I figure it's a loose connection/broken cable. To check on this I'd like to open the microphone part but I don't know how. It looks rather fragile and I don't wanna make things worse.
So what I need is a hint how to safely open this device. And if all fails maybe an address where to get a new headset. There are only a few original headsets on ebay and o2 Germany doesn't sell these headsets.
Thanxs for your replies.

the headsets on ebay work perfectly well and are a real bargain. bought 5 pcs for 1€ each recently, hope those will last as long as my xda (waiting for it to return from rma).

Searched for XDA 2 headset on ebay UK. Got nothing but the official ones selling at 8 pounds each which is still a major rip off.
Anyone here know of any places to get the official headset (or even an unofficial one that has the mic/control buttons on it?) for a cheap price?
I wish to use a standard earphone (other than that bundled by HTC) with 3.5 mm stereo pin. But the problem is that HTC accessories are not readily available in India. Now what I thought is, can we not make a homemade adapter by cutting a mini USB cable and connecting / soldering it with a standard 3.5mm stereo adapter. In that case the microphone of course will not work. I have read at HTC site that the mini USB of HTC vox (may be all other phones of HTC) is a propreitory 11 pin connector. So can a standard mini USB cable be satisfactorily used ?
Anybody has any idea ?
This is what I use with my VOX

it works perfect, and I got it delivered to my home in India.
but I dont use it anymore cause I have got the new Jabra BT3030 bluetooth stereo headset which is so perfect.
Thanks Prajith. I am thinking of buying one.
Also ebay
Do a search on ebay for "USB audio adapter for HTC Vox". They are very cheap.

BUY IT from XDA DEVELOPERS STORE
Its available in the store.xda-developers.com
http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=1859
http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=1853
@naidu001
you can get two of the connectors I mentioned in that price.
and hey it can be used for charging too, which the connector you mentioned cannot.
Rightly said Prajith your conector has boyh USB mini and 3.5 jack. Actually I purchased a few things from another site where postage was further cheap at $3 per item. But it seems that cost of the items are cheaper at the link shown by Prajith.
Anyway I am searching for an adapter with miniUSB, 3.5 earphone jack and microphone too for answering calls. I know this will be avaialable but the shipping costs are main.
@parthabhatta
talk to some of the other windows mobile users near place and buy this together. That way shipping cost becomes very less and they may offer a discount also. I had bought 30 of those, now I have only one and that too I dont need.
I would seriously suggest that you try a bluetooth stereo headset, you would never again use a wired headset. Ever!
Let me know if any of you folks have bought this miniusb to 3.5 mm audio jack converter for Vox from xda store. How easy is to order one from there?
I live in Bangalore. Is there any one knows which is the right place here to find it?

I ordered it from brando shopping. I don't remember the price paid but they have a standard 3 $ per item charge for shipping anywhere. The item will reach you within a fortnight maximum.
The url is probably shop.brando.com.hk or google with brando shop and you will find the exact address. No extra customs duty etc has to be paid.
Thanks PrabhatBhatta,
i went to Bangalore's National Market and tried a few adaptors, none could really work actually. Then i tried a final one which is the same as seidio one, which worked atlast for me. I bargained it for Rs160.

Hello,
My original Omnia 7 headset is broken and I'd like to know where I can buy the same original headset. Thanks.

Not very helpful
Lol, I've already searched online; I've searched ebay, amazon & google. All I ever find are earphones/headsets that are not the same as my original omnia 7's.
To be more specific about my problem: all I want is a pair of wired earphones whose music controls work with Windows Phone 7.
I don't think you checked very well, in the 1st and 2nd link on google you can find original earphones
Not the same
I typically see this earphone (http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=47859&c=632810) which is not the same as my Omnia 7's.
yeah, the one in pic is the same as my original but the part you put in ear is transparent in mines
if yours is different then put a picture because now i'm curious
You can find it on amazon.de => http://o-x.fr/wqpuj
Hello, I got the same problem and looking for THE original Samsung Omnia 7 Headset, its called "EHS60AVNBE". And thats the picture of it.

thats the exact headset but ive got no idea on what im doing on the website. and whats the shipping cost etc. if anyone can help me out here i will gladly buy and test it out. also to note its from samsung if you check the amazon seller.
Naah, this headset is the right one, but the seller on the amazon site its the same as on ebay. Look at the "Impressum".

I ordered these Headset couple days ago and got them today. But its the wrong headset, its the standard one with only one!! button.
are you sure its the same seller from amazon cause the seller on my amazon link is "samsung" that much i know.
http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-3-5mm-hands-free-stereo-headset-ehs60avnbe.html
also check out this link as it has the correct ones. doesn't say "for" or "genuine for" it says the model no. etc. i might email and then gamble on these.
I've just ordered the same headset from ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Samsu...ccessories&hash=item1c232721e4#ht_2199wt_1010). I'll let you guys know how it performs.
Had the same problem - called Samsung and they replaced mine free under warranty. Apparently they have a year's warranty on them, the phone is 2 years (in the UK at least).
Hope this helps.
I tried it: No replacement under warranty in Germany...
and still I have no working headphone with my omnia (Controls+Mic).
I bought 3 pairs from eBay - all were rubbish and returned them back.
ended up buying a pair at a local operator store.
I came across this official Samsung video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSHt-pvTK8g
At time mark: 00:35 seconds into it, the video shows AKGs head-phones for the Samsung Note 20 Ultra.
I guess certain regions get this?

maybe the areas which got screwed with the exynos to try and make up for its shortcomings.

With reference to: https://www.samsung.com/ca/smartphones/galaxy-note20/buy/
The headphones are not included in Canada.
You get the Galaxy Buds Live as a "bonus" item for preordering.

Very strange on my country we get both galaxy buds live "as a preorder bonus " + the AKG wired headphones in the box
According to CNET
If I don't have USB-C headphones what am I supposed to do?
Samsung has your back. If you need a pair of USB-C wired headphones, Samsung's customer service will give you a pair for free. The company will even cover shipping and handling.
I think in UE it's mandatory by law to have included the charger and the headphones.

I received my pre-orderd ATT N20 Ultra today and contacted Samsung's service team to request a set of wired headphones and was told they were not offering free headphones to US customers.
Same here..got my device pre ordered from At&t...No headphones.

Look, you guys in the US have the Snapdragon. Be satisfied LOL!
To make up for the Exynos version, we are getting the earphones, possibly a case (as seen in some unboxing videos) and and an extra 128Gb storage on the base model. Does this make up for an inferior chipset? Probably not for the likes of us on XDA, but average consumers will welcome them.
.
Nice, for a worse pants you get extra pocket on it.
One can't compensate the other, and if it's about the UE, they are forced to include it by law.
you cats in the US that state samsung are not going to give you wired phones -- you need to reach out to another rep. i hit up their chat box and within 5 minutes i had the code being sent to my inbox for the 30 dollars (shipping is extra that you pay). im not going to use it for the buds since i have several pairs from over the years, but they will absolutely give you a voucher in the US.
I still have my wired buds from my Note 9 and Note 10+ and.... Well... They never made it out of the phone box. Never been unpacked or used. I cannot stand wired headphones and use my Buds. I know, I'm an exception to the rule, but all in all, I just can't get myself to even try them. I am, admittedly, clumsy and always get myself tied up in the cords and either pull the headphones out of the jack or my ears and in worst cases the phone out of my pocket and onto the ground. LOL!
