Today i purchased a pair of Motorola S200 USB headphones for my kaiser. But, when i plugged them in and played some music, nothing happened, it just played out of the speaker phone.
Do i need to tweak or install something, or are these headphones just not compatible with the kaiser?
If possible i would like a response soon or ill probably return them tomarrow...
same problem
i had the same problem. i called htc and they told me to try a new headset. who knows what the real reason is. I plan on getting a new headset tomorrow to find out if thats really the issue.
I think you might have had the wrong headphons. HTC devices use 11-pin miniUSB connections, therefore use 11-pin headsets. While the Motorla headsets and devices are only 7-pin so they won't work in HTC devices.

They don't work. I've tried them and had to return them.
Hi there everybody
anyone have an idea about the best bluetooth headset for HD2 , which is good for both phone call and music play??
I just wish the HD2 had voice dialing included like the last three HTC phones I have had, such a shame.
send me your e-mail and Iwill send you
a cab. file for you.

Hello:
I've got nothing to say but good things 'bout the Motorola S9HD BT Stereo headset. Discovery & setup for both music and phone pretty much automatic.
Sounds Great!

Folks,
I've been using this one on HD Jabra BT3030 Stereo. My HD2 is on its way and should be here wednesday the lastest but what I can say is that this one is really amazing. It is able to give you control over volume up/down, music rewind/forward and next/previous function of the HTC player. Having that you will never need to take it out of the case for making calls or hearing music. On HTC its also supporting the Voice calling.
But as I said, not tested it on HD2 yet. I will give it a try and post my result here as soon as my HD2 is there.
Indeed this dog tag"-Look is something you need to like but in my opinion its an eye catcher ;-)
Cheers,

BT3030 is a very nice HS, but there seems to be a problem with HD2, dont know if that exists with other headsets too.

it sound great....looking forward for your feedback
how to make the hd2 play music through the bluetooth headset? i have a sony headset added as a bluetooth device with the stereo headset option ticked. also i am able to use it for phone calls but not music.
I am using the bt3030 from jabra also,but instead of the jabra earbuds,i buyed senneheiser cx300 precision,combine this with srs wow hd and do some bluetooth tweaking like verry high bitrate etc and you got some booming bass on the head with nice and clear treble,and clear mid tones....whoooo
Sony Ericsson MW600 - Both for phone and stereo bluetooth. It has a small display, dipslays caller ID for contacts, you can adjust volume (although the slider takes a little getting used too, it is much more linear than the HD2 controls), has a 2.5mm headset jack so you can replace the headset with whatever you choose. Great sound reproduction from standard headphones. Fantastic battery life. Uses micro-usb to charge, so is compatible with HTC HD2 chargers. You can pair with multiple devices. Has worked flawlessly for me. Paid $75 AUS Dollars

the volume control is easy. the manual says that you need to slide across the whole slider to activate volume then you can just slide to the desired volume. works great. highly recommend this headset. also payed about $80 aud online for it.
Hi,
Personnaly, I am using IQUA BHS-701. It is light, good balance between quality and price. Very good sound (phone and music)good bass. It is the best one for jogging according my knwoledge. It has it's own volume contrôle, overiding the HD2 one. there is mini USB slot to charge it. The disign philosophie is close to the jabra. Reception disance is good. Finally it is a 83grams headfone and it last 10 hrs music.
Motorola S9 or Jaybird work great!
Both are "waterproof". I also use WOW (free ap) - try the Jaybird first - they won't be comfortable for everyone.
Hi I would like to know if HTC RC E100 will work with hd2.
Thanks for answers!
No, it won't work, because the RC-E100 has a mini USB cable and not a micro USB one, i tried it already with a RC from a friend

Won't a Mini to Micro converter work?
This is a really good question. I would really like to use this control unit with my own headphones...
I'm new to the workings of the RC E100.
Could some kind soul please explain the connections for this item?
If I'm reading this correctly, does it connect directly into the micro USB port (with adapter if it works) but how does it then pick up the Music/Phone call data if it is not connected to the Audio Jack (or is it a split connection with one to the USB port & one to the 3.5 Audio Jack)?

I don't think it will work, because the mini USB cable from the RC E100 has a special configuration (cable/pin). So i think that a convertor won't work.
Dearest fellow hd2-owners,
I am searching a couple of days to a wired handsfree headset with music control for my HTC HD2. Unfortunately, i cannot find one, besides the original included by the phone, wich doesn't support exchangeable earphones.
The RC e100 is just what i'm looking for.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible with a cable between it:
3.5 mm to mini usb:
If not, can anybody tell me if there is a alternative wired handsfree headset with music control, which is supported by htc hd2... ???
Thanks ..
Kindly Regards M.
For further explaination:
With music control, i mean: song forward, song backward, volume etc..
Answer call / hangup
Thanks ..

I asked htc support if rc e 100 would work with mini to micro adapter and they told me that it won't been working correctly.
They also told me that something comparable to rc e100 won't be in sail soon for micro usb devices.

This is a JOKE. I have the HTC desire, and the headphones that come boxed are horrible. When you finally fit them in your ear they hurt after 5 seconds. Why would you not have a socket in the damn media control bit? Every Nokia phone i have ever had comes with this basic feature.. allowing you to connect your own ear buds to the multifunction remote control.
so in this case, I’m going to have to cut up the headphones that came with the desire and attach a 3.5 socket, allowing me to connect my sennheisers and giving me the ability to control the music player /sigh GG htc. you build a sweet phone but gimp its audio playback all because u didn’t want to spend the 1 cent it would have cost to put a socket in the damn headset attachment, and not even bothering to offer an accessory.
I should point out that the headset that comes with the desire is not micro usb, but rather a 3.5 plug. It allows play, pause, skip, answer and has a mic.
I am going to jump on the bandwagon on this one too and comment on how disgraceful it is that accessories aren't interchangeable and that nothing similar is being devised for the newer generation of phones. The headset is one of the failing features of HTC units and a good quality remote would be the answer to just let people use whatever IEMs, heaphones they want.
"Luckily" my right headphone that came with it is broken already. It may have been from the start, it sounds horrible like it's scraping its voice coil and I was about to order the RC E100 when running into this thread... Thanks for saving me .
I will have no choice and no reservation to cut the earbuds off and mount a 3.5mm socket to it. I may even go and experiment if HTC added some not-yet implemented resistorvalues for a future remote control, as I did do some checks and it seems the remote on the standard headphone is a simple resistor network like e.g a Sony RM-X4S (search for panuworld and RM-X4S to see a schematic) caraudio wired remote. I wouldn't put it past them to actually have the volume-control resistor values programmed into the HD2, but simply not implemented in any accessory yet.
A happy but sometimes also disillusioned HTC HD2 owner. Next stop: voice dialing... (last I looked that wasn't solved yet either, but I've been ill so didn't actively look for a couple of months, that's also the reason I didn't get into the wired remote resistor values any further. I did measure the existing values on the standard headset remote and actually have an RM-X4S at home that might get me started with some standard values (or drawers full of other resistors))
Damn, this thread has got me excited, I wanna go home and figure this out! (They'll let me out the hospital on Thursday, but please let me know if someone somewhere has already done this work, cannot believe I would be the first to dive into this!!! "This" being the mapping of the resistor values of the OEM headphone headset remote and searching for extra resistorvalues that might have different functions (10 minutes work in mapping the values, 15 minutes putting it in writing and posting it here and another hour to butcher my headset beyond repair and hook up the RM-X4S to it, guess I might have to sacrifice my headset for science unless someone has a broken one they want to ship me, should have picked up the run-over Nokia headset I saw on the ground a few weeks back that had a 4 pin 3.5mm connector, that's all I need for hooking up other resistorvalues...Oh, I'll figure something out or indeed butcher it and ask the company to buy me a new one, as mine IS actually broken. They'll survive the extra 9€ on top of having to pay me while I am out of the running for half a year due to the illness...)
BTW, this thread is old, and there is a micro-phone 3.5mm input super simple remote available, but it does less than the OEM headset apart from you being able to plug in your own headphone. HTC HD2 Audio Adaptor for 3.5mm to 3.5mm HS U350 (with Stereo Headset + HTC Logo, Retail Pack) for 21 € That's more money than a RC E100 with a LOT less functionality: good call HTC

Keep us posted man. Always interested in new audio hacks for the HD2. I'm missing the volume control too!
RC e100 via adaptor to HD2 possible?
Hello!
There is another threat (german only) which deals with connecting the RC e100 via adaptor to the HD2:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/android-allgemein/118188-htc-rc-e-100-headset.html
Maybe the following idea is totally nonsense, please let me know if I'm wrong:
The RC e100 apparently uses the extendedUSB version of miniUSB.
Does anyone know if the HD2's micro USB provides extendedUSB functionality as well?
Can anyone provide a circuit diagram to modify a mini to micro usb adaptor or cable 'USB-Adapter - 5-polig Micro-USB Typ B (M) - Mini-USB, Typ B (W)' to use the extendedUSB functionality of HD2 for the RC e100?
Thanks for your reply!

Took quite a while for me to test, but using an RM4-XS (or something) does NOT work on the inputs of the HD2/Leo. So it seems the resistor values of this Sony car-audio remote do not trigger any 'hidden' functions, so it is likely the OEM remote on the headphone is all the functionality you are going to get.
Sorry about getting peoples hopes up...
hey guys,
i've been searching some time for an alternative to the original headset.
you all know its a piece of ****
there's a instruction in the xda wiki to mod the original headset and to use the remote with in-ears or something else.
i'm wondering if i should do that..but thats another question
i found the remote for creative's zen.
you see, it has some more functions than the original htc headset, but i think the "standard" functions like play/pause, forward/rewind etc should work, didnt they?
you find it here
thanks guys.
DN41
unless it randomly handles the button presses the same way as the HD2, it likely won't work.
Furthermore, as the volume up/down buttons appear to be used to control the volume programming of the Zen (as opposed to affecting the output signal strength in the line itself), that will definitely not work as there HD2 doesn't doesn't appear to have an ability to control it's volume software-side through the in-line remote. And even if it does, you're still depending on the fact that again, the Zen does those button-presses the same way.
Therefore...too many "if's", so likely it won't work.
mh, yeah think you're right.
so i think im gonna mod the original one.
DN41
This could be a better solution
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320423310940&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
thanks, looks really interesting
DN41
edit: watch out! thats an mini-usb to 3,5mm adapter with remote.
so it won't work with hd2...
i think if i'd be even a micro usb, it wouldnt work, cause i think the hd2 isnt able to play music over usb port, cause its got an 3,5mm audio jack.
So my HD2 headphones broken. Right earpiece won't work, but if i shake cable around 3.5mm jack a bit, it will start working for a moment and then back to silence. Also FM radio signal is very weak.
So i must get new ones. Now, should i get HTC ones or can i use any other headphones with working buttons and mic?
How do i know, what headphones are compatible with HD2 and have working mic and buttons?
If you need mic and buttons, you must get heaphones that has 4 pins in part that goes in the device.
Can't give pic, but google 4 pin headphones
The question was - what's the best ones?
Sorry, can't answer your question because I've never change it until now.
But a hint if you want to try it: there are different jack layouts, sometimes GND is on pin 3, sometimes on pin 4. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, Nokia and Blackberry headssets are just the other way round.
And together with the keys I'm afraid you need to buy an HTC replacement.
But perhaps, someone found a working replacement?

The SkullCandy headphones work great with my HD2 on WP7.
Ps: lepo da je še kakšen slovenec tuki gor.
Thanks, but I'm looking for something cheap. I tend to break headphones quickly
P.S.. Saj jih je kar nekaj gor . A z androidom delajo?
anyone with 3.5mm jack. i suggest creative ep630.
why headphones,? better use of earphones, I can recommend the hippo shroom -i, cheap prices for audiophile sound quality
sorry I was not selling and promotion I just simply want to help
I believe author has mistaken headphones for earphones.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ywords=HTC+earphones&rh=i:aps,k:HTC+earphones
check out noisehush. They are cheap, but I never had one so I cant promise anything
I think everything with a normal jack plug is compatible.
I'm using a bluetooth headset from ugh ugh "Nokia"
i tried the stock earpiece/mic (very good sound!!) that comes with the Nokia N900 but it crashes the HD2 so this seems to confirm the mixed up grounding pin.
But i also tried the stock earpiece/mic from the Samsung Galaxy Pad, which has a good sound too, and found it working perfectly.
cheers
