Wired Remotes W100 & E100: compatible with Kaiser?

[gilsas]

Hi,
I can't stand the terrific sound produced by the boxed headphones and while looking for a miniUSB - 3.5mm adapter I found 2 HTC branded wired remotes that look good: W100 & E100:

E100: http://www.expansys.fr/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150195
W100: http://www.expansys.fr/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=148543

These require a driver to be installed on the device (for controlling play/pause and call functions). On many sites, descriptions for both are identical.... and it's hard to know whether any of these actually work with the Kaiser as pointed by some users:

Seems HTC is refusing any form of customer support as soon as you have a rebranded device, bad..

Can anyone confirm either the W100 or E100 works? hoping that not a matter or ROM (I'm the proud owner of a French Vodafone branded Kaiser)

Thanks

I don't know if anything about the remotes is ROM-specific, but I have the E100 that I use with MY AT&T-branded Tilt, and it works very, very well. I did not have to install a driver.

Also, the two remotes are identical - the only difference is color.

I hope this helps a little, even though your phone has a different ROM than mine.

Regards,

Hal

Great - thanks a lot, I'll go for it then! - can't wait to get this remote and hear how good this sounds combined with my audiotechnica ANC headphones !

Cheers,
