2-in-1 mini USB and 3.5mm Stereo Audio Multi-Adapter Review

[ekw]

Hello, im here to review the *title*.
Lets start off with the sound quality over the supplied headset.
-I get the EXACT same sound quality as i do with an ipod. (Using my own earphones).
-For deeper comparison, using my own earphones vs the one that came with the kaiser...
On the scale of 1-10, 10 being quality from an ipod
(Since sound quality varies on quality of earphones)

Bass
Supplied headset: 2
My earphones: 10

Crispness and Sound quality:
Supplied headset: 6
My earphones: 10

Now for the product(took images with my kaiser!)

Pros and Cons:
+You can sync, charge, and use stereo earphones.
+The Adapter doesn't dangle because its a direct connect.
+Ports open left of the kaiser, whereas its originaly down(Without adapter) for better comfortability when using the keyboard.(Isn't it awkward using the keyboard while syncing/charging?)
+ITS ONLY 6 USD!!!! Thats what? a double quarter pounder with cheese?

+FITS perfectly on the supplied HTC POUCH(Seriously it does, i dont have an extra camera to show you guys)

-You cant use supplied headphone + stereo headphones at the same time! (Ports are different, See pic)
-Once plugged in, Kaiser takes the adapter as earphones (even without any earphones plugged in), so you wont be able to use the speaker.

And i got it from Amazon.com, was suprised how fast it shipped to California, came next day.

got a question:

When you plug in 3.5mm headphones, is the sound clear? because if i use my old Imate Jam as an example, i used a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable and i had to wiggle it until i found the 'sweet spot' where the sound is what it's supposed to be, and if i was out of the 'sweet spot' then the sound is muffled. Do you have the same problem with this adapter or not?

[ekw]

Well it doesnt use a cable, which is AWESOME.(So there isnt a "sweet spot" due to wire defects)

As for the sound it equals to the sound of a mp3 player(ipod, zune, etc).

So it really depends on the type of earphones you use.
This was how i tested it:
My earphones on kaiser compared to My earphones on ipod. They equal.

Then, Supplied earphones on kaiser compared to My earphones on kaiser. Huge Difference in quality.

Thanks! :) and i'm guessing that the quality of your headphones with adapter>>>>supplied headphones?

Has anyone by any chance tested how long Kaiser/Tilt can play MP3's with/without any other functions ON (in flight mode for example) on one fully charged battery?

[ziddey]

I just got one of these. Came out to around $10 after shipping. Kind of expensive.

Also got a 2 usb port to car charger. Figure I'd use one for my ipod and the other for the phone. I'm assuming that the irregular miniusb port on the htc is to accomodate the 3.5mm, and that I can use a conventional miniusb for charging.

Spending way too much on accessories :(

They wanted to charge me about $24 in shipping to Europe! Not DHL, not Fedex, just airmail. WOW.

Go over to modaco.com -- they had a group buy from Semsons a month or so back, and IIRC they're trying to set up another one.

Where do you guys keep your phone at while having this adapter in place? I like to keep my phone in its case but with the adapter it will not fit. Also I would prefer not to keep it in my pocket.

if you actually read the FIRST post, he says that it will fit PERFECTLY into the supplied HTC pouch.

[Jussonice]

Sorry but that does not pertain to me because i have an At&t tilt and that unfortunately did not come with a pouch of any kind. Maybe i should have been more specific.
