Hi All,
I bought HTC Tytn II recently... It's rock.....
But i am very disappointed with the earphone quality of HTC... No Bass at all.... I am not saying mp3 playing quality is bad... I tried my motorola BT stereo headset and it gave me fantastic output with heavy bass..... So the quality of my HTC earphone is bad...
I found several earphones on HTC website.... can you please help me to find out an excellent HTC earphone which can give full Bassy effects.... or any other brand which haves mini usb port...... Dont want converters please.......
Thanks.

Why not? You are unlikely to find a decent pair of USB earphones IMHO.
I'd get a small adapter and buy some sure earphones for the best possible sound.
don't mean to hijack the thread but can anybody recommend a good bluetooth stereo headset? i want one that will be good with music and also allow me to make calls.
I am particularly looking for an in ear type earphone or a unit that allows me to use my own ear buds.
I've got the i-Tech Clip Radio (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=145553). Works well with the kaiser, got play/pause, next/prev, volume, and call buttons, bulit in FM radio, and allows you to plug your own earphones in as it has a 3.5 jack.
How is this unit for bass?
Also it looks just like the htc S100, did HTC rebrand it?
I listen to alot of dance music, and with Sony's EX-71s it does me fine!
Yeh, the S100 is HTC's rebranded version of the non FM radio version!
I also have the iTech clip (excellent unit with medium audio quality) as it can handle calls and lets you use any 3.5mm jack units you have but you have loads of cables about (use my B&O earbuds on that).
For genaral use and if I want to anser a call I use the Promate PM-2006 BT stereo headset as it is a halfway sized headphone with good audio quality and in call holding.
But for sheer audio enjoyment, I use my Creative CB2530, absolute bliss and can put most Hi-Fi's to shame.
SOZ, probably not what the thread starter asked for but WHO is gonna produce a GOOD set of headphones terminated in a mini usb? You will need the converter or BT (no converter at all!)
Every BT unit I have works seamlessly, no clicks, no splutters, no bad audio with my 'out of the box' non-carrier HTC TyTnII.
Damn, its either the beer or I should have been a salesman! Smiles.
There aren't any "best" headphones without using an adapter. If you want the best you'll need to spend you're looking at the Shure SE530 or go custom which is around $1000. It all depends on your budget.
ive got the Shure e4c's connected through an adapter and i can say you can't get better sound.. its so crystal clear, it sounds better than live people in front of you talking
ok, I've something else to add.....well asK
Is there any bluetooth stereo heaphones (with very good sound quality but aren't humongous so as to make me look like a Martian ) that can pair with two devices at once?
For example, I have two phones which support A2DP and I use one as my music phone (Nokia N93i) but also use the TYTN 2 as my business phone. What I want is to be listening to my Nokia N93i through the earphones, and If my TYTN 2 rings, the music pauses so I can speak to the caller on the TYTN 2 then revert back to listening to music back on the N93i.....
.....is this even possible?

Well yes to the pairing to two sperate devices, and no to the 'very good sound quality but aren't humongous'. The Promate PM-2006 headset is a 'medium' sized' 'medium to good quality' folding headset with mike. Pair it to both units then disable the function you don't want it to do on whichever phone (under BT settings). It will halt audio and answer the call from the other unit. These headphones were primarily developed to use with a BT mp3 players with capability to connect to your mobile phone but WM phones do both!
Using 2 devices at once with Bluetooth stereo headphones

Look at the Jabra BT8010. They're a little large, but have the advantage of using it in mono or stereo mode, as well as connecting to 2 devices simultaneously.
Incidentally, Seidio makes earphones that end in the proprietary htc mini-usb format. Haven't tested them out, but they're the only other ones i know of that don't need a converter.
Another vote for iTech Clip Radio. Works awesome with my Ultimate Ears Super fi 5 Extended Bass buds.
I bought Kyocera from here: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=204239053&loc=111&pageFormat=20&rs=1&#cReviews
The best headphones I ever bought and have the most functionality. The only problem that some people might have is the look and size of the headphones. I have not charged the headphones for a month now and still running on standby.

has anyone tried any Sony bluetooth stereo headset?

I think it might be possible using the Sony Erickson BT Earphone Stereo set. Check FleaBay... They got them cheaper than anywhere else. ( BT phone would have to be close to you, just disable the bluetooth on N93i, however The Sony Er unit has a 3.5 jack that can be plugged into the N93i, just marry the TytnII to the bluetooth)
If you marry to phones BT to the headset, and if you get a call from one while listening to music from the other, you will hear both the caller voice and the music at the same time. Jabra is one headset that I know of that can accept two devices, however when tried, I heard the device playing music however the music volume was very low while I talked on the phone. Not a great setup but might do the trick.
What headphones do you guys use with your Treo 750?
At first, I just bought a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and used any set of headphones but then became to cumbersome having to always unplug it to answer phone calls (especially in the cold).
So then I bought the Body Glove headphones with the 2.5mm jack but found out that only the right headphone works because the other signal is used for the mic! BUMMER!!!
So now, I'm to looking for another set of headphones that will work on the Treo 750. I want both right and left headphones to work and also have a working mic on it!
I might just get a bluetooth stereo headset and never have to worry about anything! But I just wanted to know what everyone else was using...
Thanks!
i bought a headset that had a 2.5 - 3.5 mm adapter and on the adapter itself was a button for switching b/w phone calls.
the other end was basically a jack for using any standard headphnes. so im some some sick in-ear ones taht have amazing bass (most of the regular phone headsets have sh!tty bass)
i would go w/ bluetooth but i dont know how much of a drain on battery they'd be. plus $$$.

I use an adapter from 2.5 to 3.5 and use a Creative headphones in order to listen music, sound is very good, but have no microphone, I'm thinking to buy a 2.5 headphone w/ mic, in my opinion a good brand should be the correct option, maybe somebody could tell us their experience.
Hey,
I was wondering about the quality of such cables. Like this one :
http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/ADAPTAT...ripheriques_CasquesMicros&hash=item20bc79d7f1
Do they work well ? My stock headset is dying and want to replace it with a standard jack headset. Does this adaptator affect the sound quality ?
And on a side note, does headset buttons and controls still work if I use it ?
Thanks.
Sound quality is not affected, i'm sure at 99%,but all depends on your headphones,i bougth a snheisser by 10$ and i'm so glad with them.
About the buttons headset didn't proved it but i think they would work.
I bought something like that, the phone doesn't automatically detect it so I have to use a widget to activate it. The sound quality is ok, but it's better over bluetooth
Ya it work
One you have showed is 5-pin mini USB(male) to 3.5mm jack (female) and if button is on the connector it will work, if button is on your earphones then it will not work. I also use this kind of connector but it came with the box.:good:
My Thread in Q&A was deleted i guess because it was the wrong place to start it.
so i try here and hope its ok,
does anyone know about the compatibility of the Play to other headsets?
i'm not sure what you really mean but as long as your headphone has 3.5mm jack then it should work..
Anything with a mic other than the headphones that are made by sony ericsson and are compatible with the play (livesound etc) may bug up.
calls wired - only sony ericsson headphones work guaranteed
others have a roughly 25% chance of working most dont
bluetooth - as far as im aware all bluetooth headsets work
(note: my official xbox 360 headset works fine its the new mw3 model (got it on sale for £30 same as the old))
music (no microphone attached) - my sennhieser headphones work great with no problems but ive head people say other headphones dont work or suffer with problems my guess is a decent pair should work when pushed in correctly as it doesnt use the microphone part of the jack which i believe is using a minus voltage to make it so only SE mics work

There's a converter that will make mic'd wired headsets work with the Play. I don't know why they did that. Converter is only a few bucks.

basically the android requiremnts are that it uses a 3.5mm jack as standard for audio headphone output so it cant be any of the old propriety types where every company was different and unique. so to make it so you could only use there headphones they use a different voltage at a minus level for voice.
i believe this is what has happened from what ive read about the android requirements and the logical thinking of SE trying to make you give them more money
When I plug in my skullcandy headphones Z3c refuses to recognize them but when I plug in the headphones that came with Sony or works fine.. The problem started from yesterday otherwise the headphones were perfectly fine and my phone is out of warranty too,is it a software bug or the headphone jack is damaged??
Well first off, get real headphones
Secondly, if the stock earphones work fine i doubt its the jack, your headphones could be damaged (skullcandy break easily)
Good day.
I have the exact same problem with my sony xba-2 (even with their own products there is incompatibilities ).
I use a program called soundabout, that is free in the app store, and force the sound to the headphones.
Let us know if it worked after.
