Hey folks, dropped the gf off at the airport and she realised she'd forgotten her phone, consequently she'd got no music to listen to so muggins handed over the ipod.
Now I'm left with my faithful touch dual and a headphone adapter I got from eBay (as per one of the posters in this forum)

...and my Etymotic ER6i headphones which have to date provided me with stunning audio quality.
Only problem -- hiss, and a lot of it! Now I know that my headphones are very sensitive, if there's a less than perfect audio connection involved hiss does occur.
As such, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has similar experience, or indeed no issues at all and could recommend a better headphone adapter (pref with mic).
Thanks in advance!
*****SOLVED*****
Returned that first adapter for refund (the microphone didn't even work when I tried it!) and ordered a different sort, as seen below:
Completely different story, sliding the volume control on the adapter right down and upping the device volume allows for clear sound and zero hiss. I'm a happy chappy
The microphone even works...bonus!
nb. for anyone who's interested:
A long press on the button initiates voice dial and hangs up.
Double tapping it calls the last number dialed.
A single tap will put the other person on hold during a call.
Only thing..... anyone know how I can boost the microphone sensitivity just a bit so I can have it a bit further (it's ok btw, don't let me put anyone off, I just want an extra bonus bit of sensitivity )
I hade a similar issue with bluetooth headsets.. the solution seems to be if you're headset etc has volume control, put it low, and increase the nike's volume.

I bought a headset for my XDA1, which has a sonyericsson label on it, but looks completely like the one i've seen on this site (probably the same type). My problem is that the answer button on the mic does nothing at all.
I tested the button with pressing it while recording, and i hear the click. Do i need some extra program which recognises this? Has anyone got any experiences regarding stereo mic headsets? Software is 4.01.16 T-Mobile
i would guess it's because they dont use the same connectors for button and mic as the HTC headset
Everything is fine, except the answer button, although that works also (grounds mic line). It just wont answer the call. Headphones are good too, its cool to use the XDA as an MP3 player.

Where did you buy it? How much was it? I want one too, cause the original headset's quality is really crap.
Mine is probably the same as yours. Its a sonyericsson, but the mic is exactly the same as the HTC i found on this site.
Found this pic on eBay. The headset is the same, but without the radio.

You could probably modify yours and put any kind of headphones on top of the mic. You good at soldering?
As per the user's manual, the headset has a volume control slider, however, I don't think I could find the slider the manual is trying to say. Is this just a typographical error? The headset that came with my unit only has a send/end button, no slider at all.
Mine also doesnt have the slider. Just the button.

Are they talking about the graphical representation of the slider perhaps?
I doubt it!
slider, the volume controller. On my previous pda phones, xda, xda 2, touch thier headsets have the slider, so I find this very strange, especially that its even written on the manual.
I've been using the jj blaster 28004 light rom for a few days now, but have only just plugged in the headset that came with the phone. Apparently it doesn't come with all kaisers so here's the pictures of the one i mean:

I've not been able to reduce the volume while they are plugged in and it's deafening when trying to listen to music. The play/pause, start/end call, forward/back a track buttons all work fine, but the volume one does nothing.
Are there any programs I am missing from the full rom that would help to manage the volume level of the headset please? Or any other program suggestions to manage this? I've seen countless threads talking about the bluetooth headsets being too quiet in volume but can't find any info on the original wired headset.
It's probably okay for some people, but I find the sound quality from my diamond leaves something to be desired. I've used the SRS WOW thing but I think now I'm up against the hardware limitations...
Does anyone know / have an opinion on whether the major limitation on sound quality is the phone itself or the headphones? I was thinking of getting some decent headphones (and a converter) and, although this will definitely improve the sound quality somewhat, is the output from the phone good enough to justify this... or would I have more satisfaction from, say, setting fire to my money ?
the headphones supplied with the Diamond are sh*te.
i have made a adaptor out of the original headphones, so i can plug in a decent set, sounds much better!
I only have the original headset, and it is indeed very low quality, but when I use my Motorola S9 it's a whole different experience.
I know the S9 is expensive, but it's worth every penny.
Interesting! So, essentially, the problem seems to be the headphones. Anyone else have any experience?
yeh, what i did was take the diamond headphone, cut the actual ear pieces off and solder on a 3.5mm socket, so i can plug any headphones in
this should help. i've already got one.

There's a thread somewhere that says that they work pretty well with the diamond. Or (now) a moto s9, as they are apparently so awesome...
When I used my iPad, I had the Jensen Rocker dock that was pretty much perfect for all media purposes, with a swivel mount to allow the iPad to be used in portrait or landscape, rather decent built-in speakers in the base, remote control, etc.
I'm sure the answer is 'no', but does anybody know of any sort of speaker dock available for the Tab? I've only found things that require being plugged into the headphone jack or syncing with Bluetooth, which would be fine if there were some central spot to at least perch the Tab so it looks like it was built for such use.
I have the HDMI dock, but even plugging that into some external speakers would look more like a rigged Frankenstein contraption. It seems that accessory makers have all but given up on the Tab, so are we pretty much stuck without all the goodies like a speaker dock? What do you guys use, if anything, for this purpose?
Hi, If you prefer quality sound over just-some-sound, then BlueTooth cannot be because they are bandwidth limited compared to the full audio band record in CD. I don't have a dock, but if I ever wants sound to SGT, then I would get it from headphone jack with voodoo sound anti-jitter and 128x oversampling.
I use a Bluetooth receiver connected to my Stereo System.

The Tab just sits in one of these cheap docks:
I bought the samsung bluetooth speakers for 50 euro at 1dayfly.nl and satisfied as they are officially 200 euro.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
So, I'm trying to setup my GNote just how I like it and when I think I'm almost done I run into a major problem.
I use my phone a lot in my car, but I mount it to my dash (local phone usage laws) and connect it to an Auxiliary input to my car speaker system. My Droid X, when set up this way, allowed me to listen to the caller through my speaker system, but kept my voice input on the handset itself (probably because it detected that there was no mic installed, come to think of it my GF's dumbphone does the same thing)
But my GNote instead thinks there is a MIC and mutes the handset input! That really REALLY makes it difficult while driving because I would need to use the (terrible) speakerphone & unplug the AUX every time I want to take a call while driving, then replug it in after the call to listen to music again.
Someone please tell me there is some sort of fix or work around for this. This is a major deal breaker for me
PS: I'm rooted, & on Rocket Rom with LA4 Kernel.
After some more research I'm starting to think this is actually a software bug, because there are three different 3.5mm plugs and the phone should be able to recognize which is which and act accordingly i.e. turn off/keep on microphone.
Here is a photo of what I'm talking about

The single ringed jack is for mono, double ring = stereo, and triple ring = stereo w/ microphone. For some reason it detects the double ringed jack as a stereo w/ the microphone and shuts off the handset microphone for telephone calls only. I tried using the stock "Voice Recorder" app w/ stereo headphones plugged in and it works, but when I try to make a call the other person cannot hear a thing.
Sorry to bump my own thread, but could really use some help here
Does anybody else's Note exhibit this behavior?
