ok so my problem is that i have the original mytouch without the 3.5mm jack but i have an adapter that lets me use them which has a mic and button for play/pause
i want to know if there is any way to get something like skullcandy fmj(not those but just those as an example) to be able to to play/pause while connected to this
what i currently have the mic on the headset works but the play/pause button doesn't. the button on the adapter works only
is there anyway around this or am i stuck with the adapter?
sry if this has been asked
Just Curious, What adapter are you using?
better go and spent your money for bluetooth headphones... Adapter's have low durability ... and headphones have problems with jack/cables
i bought a brand new nokia bh-503 and im 100% satisfied

This would be good for general listening. I don't think this is very good for running with. Also, many inexpensive headphones (3.5mm) have very good dynamic range and noise cancellation for low cost. I have not found a good sports bluetooth headphone yet. Secondly, the battery life of bluetooth has to be considered, what will you do when your battery is low?

I am looking for an adaptor/buetooth headphones with remote and a display. Any suggestions?
where can I buy one of these?
Hi, I would like to buy the xz2. I recently had the lg v30 and since I like to use Viper4Android, I just did not like the v30 DAC. I also like to use Viper4Android again, my question is, is the sound quality about usb type c to jack just as good as the old 3.5 mm jack? can I use Viper4Android like that? with the jack adapter?
I own headphones from good old Z2 times (MDR-NC31EM) and sound quality is better than Z2 and better than Z5, Clear & Loud, i do miss noise the canceling function in sound menu, maybe because of usb to 3.5 adapter. But i cannot speak about sound mods cause i dont use them realy.
I used this headphones on Z2, Z5 and now XZ2 to give real comparison. Sound is Excelent
I agree, sound is excellent. Slightly louder than previous Sony devices. Quality is good but as stated by stipi69, no noise cancelation capability and I'm using the Sony mdr-nc750. No comparison to LG V30 though. That device audio is far superior to the XZ2.
I do not know how to assess it, whether much quality is lost from the sound, thereby only having an adapter for headphones
can one actually use the original adapter of the htc?
You did not like the V30 DAC? That's odd. Together with the V20 it has the best sound quality you can get in a phone (or pretty much any other portable device). If you want better, you'll be looking at spending quite a bit on an external DAC and headphone amp.
I did not like LG's default settings for the dac. Now have the Bose Soundsport Wireless free. With my xz2 and a Tidal Hifi Abbo just the MADNESS
I have them too, I'm not so impressed with them from a sound quality perspective. Had the Sony WF-1000X before, which sounded better, but had connection issues. My main headphone is the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 Ohm though, and before that Sony MDR-CD480. The Beyerdynamic really need the amp of my LG V20.
Do you mean now, you are not so excited about the evil headphones?
You mean about the Bose? They are fine. Overall I like them more than the Sony WF-1000X. However those made me smile listening to them, which happens with very few headphones. The Sonys sound wonderful, but have some serious connection issues, no volume controls, etc.
Can someone tell me how I can use the HTC adapter with viper4android correct? At the moment this is unfortunately only recognized in the tab speaker, which is not meaningful. I want the adapter to be recognized as headphones or under USB in Viper. Is there in the ne XML, where you could achieve something by means of editing
You could contact Viper team directly, i would imagine they'll be happy to add support for even more devices andconfigs
Hello guys !
I am not sure if anyone has noticed (or I'd rather say, has felt annoyed) by the stock headphones or by the output produced by the regular Jack 3.5 through their Type-C to Jack converter, but I have...
Personally, I am very demanding when it comes to music, and by choosing a 850-euro phone, this possible "issue" didn't cross my mind before I bought it. It seems like listening to music on this phone, (using headphones of course) comes with pluses and minuses.
As a Pro feature, the sound is excellent, the lows and highs sound quite good actually, but (there is a big "BUT") the maximum volume is too quiet, compared to other mainstream phones on the market, using mainly Jack interface for the headphones. The maximum volume on this phone, when using headphones is about 70-75% of the maximum volume on other phones (Mi Note Pro, Samsung Galaxy series, IPhone).
I made sure "Dolby atmos" is enabled, I have even tried raising all the EQ parameters (so that the general volume may be increased), I have also tried preamp-ing the sound with apps like Poweramp or Speakerbooster, but they would only sound like forced, and not actually louder, and the result is the same.
So, my sole question is : what should I do/buy/try in order to get a LOUDER experience when using headphones ?
Thank you in advance !
P.S.: sorry if I'm being awkward, it's my first post on XDA. Cheers !
Is there a safety volume limiter on?

Hello, I don't use high quality/impedance headphones with my P20 Pro but watch this review from about 15min 15secs in. I've not verified this but hope it helps you!

I checked with Bose QC35 and the sound is 30% louder via Bluetooth than the jack lead....... How can this be

Because in wired mode the headphones are driven by the phone's amp and in Bluetooth they are driven by their own internal amp. Its why you can use wired mode even when the headphone battery is depleted.
How about any advice buying replacement earphones instead of the adapter? I'd rather just have one external thing to not lose. Are there any USB-C earphones that will do the same job as the replacement USB-C to 3.5mm for regular earphones?

I find it as loud as my S8 plus or Pixel 2 through headphones, but BT is where it's at for volume.

I don't think I need head/earphones. I have 2 pairs of earphones (Samsung and Sennheiser), a pair of HyperX Cloud Stinger II, and studio headsets from Focusrite. I have tried all of them. And they are not the problem.
I've had many Huawei phones and 3,5mm volume has always been too low

I use the HTC dongle linked in the video above. It makes a noticeable difference. Even my cheap £15 earphones are much louder using it over the Huawei dongle.
It won't blow you away, so be realistic but it is DEFINITELY a noticeable improvement and worth the investment if you listen to music.
In fact, even my larger headphones were louder but I think you need a dac/amp to really enjoy louder volumes on large headphones. It's the cheap earphones that I found gave the loudest sound.
hello dear forum, I ask for your help and am grateful for any helpful comment. and although I have an old z2 where I use Viper4android. the sound of the mobile phone sounds strong and full of sound. on my sony xz2 I did not have the full sound, especially not the full sound. (stereo moderately) suspect that it is s.einlaced on the phone adapter from sony. Can anybody confirm this?
need more information. your post does not make sense. audio on the xz2 is excellent, probably only beaten by LG and their Quad DAC. It doesnt need any silly audio enhancement or equalizer. If you can afford the xz2, please buy better earphones and invest in better audio quality sources instead of blaming the device.
Dongle + Sony WH1000XM2 on Spotify premium sound awesome , everything is crystal clear .. Hell I've heard parts of some songs that I did not know were there ...
Also on the same headphones but wireless the quality of playback is amazing ..
I do think that the problem lies in your "equipment" ( maybe the dongle is broken or your headphones are poor quality/ broken )

Yes that's what I meant when I said dongle .. The USB-C to 3.5mm Jack adapter that comes with the phone ..
OK. do you have any idea why Viper4android does not recognize the htc adapter? have written with someone who owns a htc u11 smartphone. with him the adapter goes with Viper4android. but on a costum rom
Is that possible to use the type c to 3.5mm converter for 7 plus?
why?! you have 3,5 mm jack
I have a HTC Usb to 3.5mm adaptor that I used on my HTC U ultra and it works great with the Nokia 7 plus as well.
I think the audio is louder using the adaptor and better quality.

because the sound quality from the 3.5mm is so poor

Want to know does it worths to buy the adaptor just for sound quality improvement?
That's a difficult question as I always find audio a very personal thing.
I have just tried my Akg K451 headphones with both the audio jack on the phone and the HTC adaptor.
The HTC 3.5 mm adaptor is significantly louder than the audio jack at full volume. I notice some distortion in the audio jack that is absent on the HTC adaptor. I think the audio from the adaptor is fuller and far more pleasing to my ear.
I have no idea how these things work, for instance does the HTC adaptor have its own DAC or is it simply a pass through device? The difference in audio level would suggest to me the presence of its own DAC so maybe that would account for the difference in audio .
Maybe it's worth buying the adaptor just to drive certain headphones better. I have a pair of status audio headphones at home that I normally use with a headphone amp to drive them I will try them on the 7 plus later to see how they sound with the audio jack and the adaptor.
Sorry I can't be more definitive.
By the way the HTC adaptor is around £10 in the UK direct from HTC.
Is the sound quality and volume really that bad or is it just some specific/batch units?
I listen to a lot of audiobooks on the go and it would be a shame if this was a dealbreaker.
No I don't find the audio particularly bad and most of the time it is loud enough.
Most of the time I use the 3.5 jack and don't have a problem but when I'm sitting listening to music and doing nothing else I prefer the audio from my HTC adapter.
The volume will depend on the impeadence of the headphones used, my AKG headphones are always much louder than my status audio ones when used in the same device.

I think it can，I used a Xiaomi's type-c headset that can be used
Quite strangely, My Mi A2's USB-C to 3.5 adapter DOES NOT WORK with my Nokia 7+
