I own three of these bad boys, its great they connect up to each other each with 3.5 out put and each has its own 3.5 in put so theoretically you could have an infinate chain of these. Each has its own battery. I have a wire connected to mine to extend the reach between the device and speakers

I have these too, great little speakers. They'll go nicely plugged into the official docking station when it's finally available in the UK.
X-minis are pretty damn impressive for the size of the things if you place them on a suitably resonant surface. I've got a Beacon Phoenix now though, mainly bought for the convenience of Bluetooth but that sounds even better for its size and doesn't have an irritatingly short cable
I got the slightly larger ones that do stereo:

50 bucks vs 2x20 for a pair of Mini II and a special mini stereo to pair of mini mono cable. I should point out that you can always get the stereo to pair of mono cable to expand that mini at any time. Also you can get the max ones for less than 50. Quick search for the type of stereo mono cable: http://www.amazon.com/STEREO-3-5mm-...&keywords=Cable+stereo+mini+to+dual+mini+-RCA

I love my X-minis , have the II, the Max II and the Kai (bluetooth).
They get used by everyone in the family and I'll often use them with my N7 for streaming radio (buddyjacked or chained) or watching a movie.
My thoughts here.

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.

My new wired headset
I have simply removed standard headphones and has soldered in others, sennheiser cx300. That's all.
And now a have great sound!!!

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.

1) a 3.5 mm fm transmitter which will work on any 3.5 mm jacked device.
It should be purely analog. And contains a in built li- ion battery. Draws audio from 3.5 mm jack and send it on air in the tuned frequency.
2) a docking station with audio playback and usb charging. ( trying to figure out the methods through htc music head phone controls volume, next, previous, and stop/ play music) . So that i can add an ir remote too..
Post ur suggestions.
Regards
Showly.
send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2
This should be in Your speciffic device forum.
You want a $10 FM transmitter from radio shack and a music dock.
Nop. Thatz not a device specific one. But the thing is in case of dock, i have only hd2 with me for checking. Thats why i go for htc. If some 1 can provide me the headphone diagrams of other phones, it will help me 2 develop a generic dock.
And about readymade tx and dock, nop i am not going 2 buy them. I am going 2 make them. Thatz it.

this one is what i am planning to build, removing the mic , then adding a low ohms resistor in series to the i/p, and then connect it to the 3.5 mm male pin(for inserting into 3.5mm jack). adding a small 3.5 v li-ion battery,and a usb or similar charging port. and enclose it in a small box..
for now its a mono tx. but you can bulid a sterio one with ba1404 ic, but i cant get one here.. so i went for mono. but i will give u the circuit for sterio one
here is it
Is here any audiophile ? Or I am a lone ?
Just interesting what kind of headphones/headset's you using guys (post picture please)

The quality of the sound is "reference signature". Reached totally another lever.
Big thanks to Sony Xperia Z witch is provides superior quality with ClearAudio+
You next.

Those earphones look really expensive. I don't really care too much about audio, find it hard to tell the difference unless I do a side by side comparison.
I'm only using my MDR-1R that I got free with the phone and looking to buy SBH20 so I can connect my headphones to that and then use NFC/BT to connect to phone. The audio quality would probably be pathetic if I do this, but its more practical and I don't want to be opening the flaps on my Xperia all the time
AW: What kind of headphones/headset are you using ?
Didnt have that much time yet with the Z, but I'm quite pleased from what I heard. I use Denon AH-D1100, B&W P5 and some Phonak Audéo, forgot which ones though.
Here we go guys! the moment youve all been waiting for!
Running USBrom and Timur's USB Host kernel (http://mehrvarz.github.io/nexus-7-usbrom/)
Double Din facia (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250898912150?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT)

USB OTG Cable (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Type-...-with-Micro-USB-Female-Y-Cable-/291312529344?)
Step 1
I wanted to keep my Headunit so I relocated that
Step 2
Set up my N7... Rooted and flashed USBrom- designed specifically to install N7's in cars!
Step 3
install apps/settings etc
I'm using car dock ultra
navfree
torque
tasker
apollo music player
step 4
get the nexus in the facia!
this was a tricky one but got there, had problems with the power as the facia is only so wide I filed down part of the inside and made a bezel so it sits back which accommodates the space for the USB cable I then had to make sure it would stay in place etc
Step5
get it all in!
I have it running so ingition on= tablet wake, car home ultra starts- CHU sorts out the brightness- IE in the dark
ignition off tablet closes all apps and goes into deep sleep
Future plans:
DAB/freeview stick
reverse/frontal camera
smaller HU
here are some cheeky pictures
Set up my nexus so it looks super sexy

and fitted
in place
running torque
and looking rather sexy
Looking good, is there a big difference between using dac and headphones out ? I'm doing the same thing for my car but with main functionality sat nav and reverse camera (easycap + analog camera)
And in the dark
I haven't played any music through it, just sound effects to make sure it works
Will test and compare
