Sup guys!
I've recently bought recently SteelSeries Flux Headset with two sets of cords - one for PC (mic/headphones split) and one for mobiles (4-pole jack). When connected via PC cord (only headphones) phone recognize the headphones and it's cool and all. But when that 4-pole son of a jack is plugged the magic happens. Except there's no magic. It doesn't work on my x8, on other, newer xperia and it works poorly with nokia x2, while it works (at least headphones) with psp, goclever tablet (4.1 android) and PC. Does this phone have a 4-pole female jack in it? Or is it some headset malfunction?
Anyone? Anything?

What are your thoughts. Seems like a good product. Be able to use some decent headphones for listening to those mp3z . . .
Anybody used one of these?
is the answer/mute button only for those 2 functions or is that module also acting as a microphone (don't think so)? looks good to me but i use the headset adaptor i bought from this internet site based in hong kong. check out:
http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.jpg (the website is http://pc-mobile.net)
it comes with a standard 2.5 mm jack for the xda. the wire is on a retractable mechanism to avoid tangling. at the other end is the stereo phone jack which serves as an answer/end button and as a microphone as well. there's a single headphone jack connected which uses a 3.5mm plug. when you want to listen to the toons using your 2-headphone set; you simply unplug the jack and insert any 3.5mm plug-based headset. in effect you can use any 3.5 headset as handsfree.
costs 26usd but services are 5-stars for me.
cheers
Anyone tried this adaptor from pc-moblie.net? The sound quality is good or bad?
i doubt that it could damage the quality so you can hear it unless you connect it to a stereo's lineIn and play it out using real speakers
those headsets are too limited imho to take much damage from a few connectors
However, all these things are not suitable for xdaII.
I bought one from pc-mobile and the quality is good. However, since the new xdaII got 2 buttons in its handsfree design, this product from pc-mobile is not fully compatible. You can hear from it but you can't pick up or end call from it as compared to xda1 you can.
I hope they can produce another product which is fully compatible with xda2. Otherwise, I may have to go for bluetooth but really worry about the battery.
Also, can I or is there anyone using the bluetooth handsfree for mp3 playing????? I doubt that very much.
I do really like the pc-mobile handsfree which is retractable and handy.
Any alternative in the market?? You got the adaptor but I think its only good for audio MP3 listening. If you attach another headsfree to the adaptor for business use (don't know whether we can...), you will have 2 buttons (one for the adaptor and one for the handsfree) which is quite funny !
Does somebody else have this problem and find a solution?
Do most people use bluetooth?
*Damn* !
Been creating a cable myself, tried it yesterdaynight late....
The damn thing didn't answer the phone when i pressed te button.
I cut the audio-out cord and trew the cable away, because i tought the mic didn't work....
Now i read this.... Guess the mic did work, but the answerbutton didn't.
Now i hope i can rewire the audio-out cabels again, so i haven't been soldering for nothing last night
Headphone adapter for HTC magic
Hello.
On the HTC magic, there isnt a 2.5 or a 3.5 headphone jack! there is only a mini USB jack. Does anyone know where i could get a mini USB jack adapter to turn it into a regular headphone jack?
Even if anybody knows what kind of mini USB jack comes on the HTC then that would be lots of help! because ive already purchased one that fit, but didnt work so it must have been a different type.
Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to share with you a mod I made most recently.
It's a customized audio cable for Jabra Halo headset.
As a cord base, i used used (warn) htc E160.
The cable first was upgraded with Sennheiser CX300 II earphones, but later on, the cable at 3.5 jack broke.
I had to "refurbish" cable to jack connections, and make a custom micro-usb audio plug for Jabra Halo headphones to go into corded mode.
As it turned out, the pinout of the cable is compatible with Samsung headset pinout:

and here is a proof-of-concept result:
If anyone needs any details of either connection details just PM me.
Cheers
it looks very nice, i had seen something like this but unfortunately the buttons of my headsets are broken ;(
maybe i'll try something like you
bye
I recently bought a headset (Sonic Gear Nano Plug) and plugged it into my X8 directly and the X8 didn't detect it (I'm using GingerDX v22), there was an adapter that came with the headset called a PC Chat Convertor cable so I used my headphones that way, but I noticed that it took a couple times of replugging for the headphones to actually play properly as other times it would only play output on the right side of the earpieces, I found online that it could be fixed through the use of a TRRS audio adapter, just curious on whether anyone has had to deal with this problem and how did you all fix it...
Yep.. It's a pain in the ass.. TRRS is just the name of a 4 pin jack.
The problem is that some brands (mostly nokia, samsung and SE) like to reverse the pins so you have to use their headphones.. It's pathetic, i know.. I tried my sister's headphones (blackberry) and the sound is distorted, the same goes if she tries my SE ones in her phone.
There are some TRRS adapters that can reverse the pins so you can use any kind of headset on these types of phones.. I never tried them but they work..

I think your headset is the problem..
I recently bought a Sonic Gear earplug -- which I forgot what model it was -- and I also got the cable adapter which u called the PC Chat Convertor. And guess what .. not just my x8 wont detect it but my others phone as well .. I tried on my nokia c1-01, it detected it but I can only hear the music at a very low volume even though my volume is already at it max!..
But after I plugged in the PC Chat converter cable and stick in the green jack into my audio jackpot, it works like a charm on any phone ..
That thing sucks man .. and I finally bought a brand new Hibiki earplug ..

Take a time to read my previous post..
The pc adapter resolves the problem but only for listening, you cannot use the mic.
Test those buds on a phone that is not nokia/se/samsung and you will see that they will work as they should.

Had the same problem with my Skullcandy Icon 2's. Took them to a friend's, disabled the mic and now they work perfectly. It's the mic that causes all the problems, if you can disable it the headset works perfectly. No mic, ofc.
First, I tried this site from eBay:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221271993040
Didn't work. Didn't even detect it as headphones, let alone mic.
Then I tried this one, which is "trrs," because several HTC phones work with it according to reviews:
Headset Buddy01-PC35-PH35) PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter
Same exact results as the two-dollar wire.
Nothing has worked!
Is so irritating that is so hard to use an external mic with a high-end phone like this.
Can anyone help?!:crying:
Hi! Recently got my MI9 and i love it! Apart from a missing Aux cord ofc Tried out the adapter that came with the phone in my car, but it seems like it's giving out a buzzing/static loud noise when using it although you can also hear the music. My old phone with aux plays without problem. Thoughts?
I have same problem with phone Roku app and headphones.
But sound from YouTube is fine.
Fuxd up drivers I reckon...
The adapter is really too tight fit as well into USBC port...
