Hello,
I’m new to this phone and forum, just getting my head round it. First problem I’m trying to tackle is the frankly awful headphones that come with the device.
Trying to find decent 2.5 mm headphones is not easy, I bought a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter but it’s a bit rubbish and loose and I’m sure it is changing it from stereo to mono. So after hours of research I’ve found some Sennheiser MM50’s. These have an integrated mic and also a 2.5mm 4 pole jack.
Now are these likely to work on my phone as I understand there are different ways that 2.5mm jacks can be wired up?
Thanks in advance.
I guess you will have to try it.
I use some Siedo headphones I got off eBay. They are not brilliant but are better than the supplied ones.
I can't find it right now but I came across this: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127646
It's an adpator - that is wired correctly for a HTC 2.5mm sockect and it has a built-in mic. You can plug any 3.5mm headphone jack into it. - Heck - I might get one myself!
Cheers, that doesnt look to bad. I notice that was compatible with the P900 which I think is compatible the Sennheiser MM50’s. So maybe they will be ok.
Do you know if the prophet has a standard 2.5mm 4 pole connector?
Yes, it's the usual 2.5mm 4 pole connector. There doesn't seem to be a "standard" way of wiring them though but the link I gave you should be fine.
It is NOT recommendable, for the Sennheiser MM50 headphones are made for Motorola devices/phones. HTC Prophet appears to have different wiring schema compared to Motorola and the headphones will play only from one channel - unfortunately.
I bought them recently (in spite of warnings on this forum) and was very disappointed to experience this effect. Fortunately however, I was able to give them back to the shop.
I use my old Sony Ericsson P800's headphones and the quality is waaay better. In fact the best non-professional headphones I've had till now were all Sonys.
It has to be Sony.
Have a look at Ebay. Search for SPV M600 and you may find a whole host of accessories. Or search specifically for:
Handsfree Remote/Adaptor for Orange SPV M600/M3000 PDA or
Oasis music adapter for qtek S200, SPV M600, Dopod 830
I have a similar item and it allows me to use any headphones or even connect it to my HiFi. It even has a PTT button and microphone to answer calls - imagine having a phone call routed through your home HiFi!
Hi!!!
Do you know if this one can work with prophet?

This one is not compatible with the Prophet. Prophet uses a 2.5mm jack while the newer HTC devices use the mini-USB connection for the headphones. The product in the link that you provided is meant for these newer devices. What you want is a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5mm (female) converter. You can find them at www.expansys.com.

Dear friends
I have a BA (Qtek 9090) and I have no big complaints. However, I would like to use normal headphones other than the ones supplied with the unit, I mean, with 3,5mm jack, to listen to music - and there is my problem.
The sound is not stereo, using any type of adapter from 2,5 to 3,5mm. Despite of the non-stereo sound with the adapter, it works normally with the phones with 2,5mm jack. I have tried many adapters of many brands, no luck.
Why is that? Really bad decision to use this 2,5mm in my opinion.
Please, any solutions, advices, welcome. Thanks
The problem is that it is not a standard 2.5mm socket. It is a 4 (I think) ring to allow for the microphone. Unfortunately there is even a difference between the Alpine and the BA.
Eg BA uses http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=PPCPADPT16 while
Alpine uses http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119295
Have a look in the wiki, I think someone did a detailed spec of the BA jack socket.
Hi guys,
I bought an adapter as above to use my regular headphones but I can only hear the right side of the earphones. I've tried using a few headphones and t
all the same. I went back to the shop and the guy said it might be the phone, I exchanged the adapter for a new 1 and the same problem occurs.
Anybody any info on this?
It looks like you have the wrong adaptor. The one you tried was probably designed to be used for the HTC Blueangel or Motorola MPx 200.
The HTC Prophet uses a different 'wiring scheme' for the 4 contact points of the 2.5mm jack. I think this is similar to the HTC Typhoon.
Anyway, if you use the original stereo headphone that come with your phone you can confirm if there is a stereo output from your phone. If this works than it is the wrong adaptor you are using.

Have a look at ebay for an adpater that fits, HTC did not use the "normal" scheme for the wiring - so a special one had to be produced, i did only find it at ebay...
Hi,I've bought one here.It works for spv m600 and qtek s200.

maybe you bought a mono adapter, try with the phone in box when you bought your phone, if no problem it means wrong adapter. Change the other. Good luck.
The one Markdu81 bought works perfectly.
merci pour le conseil ^^

Hello again.
I just received the adapter and it's the same as the one I have, i.e. it only gives a mono output.... Either they sent the wrong item or you should order the 4-pin adapter.
Good luck and please post your results...
Hi,
I sell 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone adapters.
They are US $1.50 plus shipping.
They provide stereo output on the prophet (I know because I also have a prophet).
If you would like to place an order, PM me with your country and I'll let you know the delivery cost.
As an MP3, the prophet is a pretty good device, with quite clear sound. It's best not to have too many applications running while listening to music, or you may experience some static or jumpy sound. I would also recommend you download an audio player that has EQ settings (treble / bass etc) to get the best out of the device.
I bought one from Maplins works fine.

Thanks

Be careful. The link listed here is for 3.5m plug but you will need a 2.5 version for the Atom.

Happy shopping.
Delta
what brand/kind of headset can give deep penetrating bass to atom exec?
which brand of wired headphones can work with XDA atom. i have tried nokia 6600 but that does not work can any1 tell me which brand headphones will work.
in my city there is no outlet for O2 original headphones and i do want to indulge in to online shopping.
please help me
make your own, buy a pair of sony earphones and solder them with your original ones...this is what i have done in the past, but now im using audiophiles...so i bought a 2.5mm to a 3.5mm jack...
Any adaptors that will allow me to use proper 3.5 inch headphone jack in place of the mini USB ones ( i dont like the in ear phones) checked ebay and couldnt see anything?
you want get one of these http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142090 - Mike
Ouch, that thing is both horribly badly designed and prohibitively expensive- it's going to stick out what looks like an inch by itself, most headphone plugs will add another inch on top of that- I need something that fits flush with the bottom of the phone (comes out at a right angle) AND supplies an input for the charger. One can only dream!
The orbit would make a great on-mains Wifi internet radio if such a gubbin existed- hook up some speakers, start TCPMP, sorted!
in which case if you don't like wires stop messing around and get a set of A2DP compatible headphones - the quality is very good, but far more costly than a cable addaptor - the choice is yours - Mike
Might have been worth while if I didn't use an iPod for all my portable audio needs- have you seen any A2DP compatible speakers around?
Looks like there are hacks out there, but no official products, the combination really would just turn the Orbit into an incredibly expensive Wifi radio! But where's the fun in just going out and buying a proper one!
Have a look at the products made by Parrot there are a few Bluetooth audio add on boxes, I fail to see the relevance to WiFi?? as the A2DP profile is Bluetooth - it even works on the T-Mobile MDA-CIII which has no WiFi - Mike
I say wifi radio because I listen to internet radio stations around the house using the Orbit, and the ol' tinternet comes via the wifi doohickey!
A2DP is, of course, a bluetooth profile and would be the method over which I get decent sounding audio from the Orbit to some speakers whilst still having the Orbit plugged into mains so the battery doesn't get sucked dry... that said I think the Orbit will last a good few hours streaming internet radio, although I have yet to put that to the test.
My other solution would be, as mentioned above, an adaptor that allows both the charger AND headset to be plugged in- I can't see this as being technically impossible.
With a brief cursory investigation I have discovered, I think, that the headset uses a proprietary 6-pin connection on the opposite side of the mini-usb connector. The headphones do not use the 4-pin standard mini-usb connector on the other side, but a connector that uses both should be reasonably simple to produce. Ergo it should be childs play for a third party to produce an Artemis dock that contains not only a connection to USB but a standard 3.5mm amplified microphone socket alongside a standard 3.5mm amplified stero audio jack... not to mention a button on the front of the dock for picking up calls and a volume slider if you really wanted them.
Call me crazy, but I want one of those!
You could try this

Might do the trick even if it is a bit long
Rich
Dear lord! You've made my day! Hmmm, a little jiggery pokery and I might even be able to incorporate that into a dock but it'll be fantastic for charging and listening to net radio at work- takes that little extra load off my desktop PC.
Cheers!
Glad I could help

Hi,
Does anyone know if the above would work with a set of mini stereo speakers with a 3.5mm headphone jack (like the walkman speakers i used to have, back in the day...) to listen to the FM radio while charging the phone from mains? Or would you still need the headphones plugged into get any FM reception?
Daft question maybe, but I wondered whether the device would just use the speaker wires as an antenna instead of the headphone wires?
It will work fine, I am going to use mine to connect my orbit to my home stereo and charge it at the same time.

2.5mm 3 pole jack plug
Hi,
Anybody know of an Artemis mini usb to 2.5mm 3 pole jack plug adapter which allows the connection to deliver audio and microphone capability ?
I would like to connet my Artemis/Orbit to the Autocom intercom system on my motorcycle . This uses a lead with a 2.5mm jack plug at the phone end and a 3.5mm jack at the Autocom system end. Both are 3 pole.
Thanks
P.S. hope you don't mind me jumping in your postings

Is this so you can listen to music from the Orbit? I've had difficulty on my bike with this...music cuts out and wont restart after phone call is over. In the end, I bought the Autocom bluetooth dongle and now bluetooth the Orbit to the bike. I get phone calls and GPS just fine, but I use a wired iPod for music.

Does this support the Artemis? It isn't in the list....
There was a posting for the mini USB PinOut some Time ago. Look in the wiki Section to find it. Here is what they showed up with.
Maybe This will Help someone to build their own Adapter or whatsoever.
Greetings
Jabami
so what was the general concensus with using Autocom? Did the 2.5mm jack work?
I want to avoid using the bluetooth option on autocom, since I might just as well go for a Scala bluetooth headset instead if the jack doesnt work...
Is there such a thing as a mini-USB to 3.5 mm 4 pole adapter that works for the HTC Touch? I want to use a 3.5 mm headset with it.
sure
expensys and most other online stores like it got them coming out their rear end
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=176772
The same one that comes with Touch Pro should work.
Thanks for your suggestions, but is there something that is a bit more compact? Something like this but with 4 poles instead of 3: http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-PPC6800-Verizon-T-Mobile/dp/B0016D9URO

I have been looking for a 3.5mm headset (not headphones, the ones with in-line mic and the extra terminal), but none of them seem to work with the mic. I have one I got for my hermes a while back that has three inputs - HTC USB, proper mini usb and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Very cool for using with desktop speakers and charging or syncing at the same time, but no use if you are trying to use a 3.5mm headset socket from a Nokia.
However, I just found one on ebay that does seem to work with 3.5mm headsets. Ordered one from the US for £9 all-in, although there are some in the UK for £15+pnp. Search for "HTC Headset Adapter" and they come up.
One comment about these: HTC has started making 10-pin mini-USBs. The bottom row of pins are still used for communicating with activesync, but the top row is now for the audio and mic. Traditional 5-pin mini-USBs do not have the top row; hence they'll only work for activesync and not audio functions.
So if you buy a 3.5mm adapter, make sure it is 10-pin and not 5!
