recommendation for wired headset/mic

[texas]

Hello,

Would someone please recommended a good/decent wired headset/mic earphone? Ideally one with the USB male end that the Tilt will accept.

Thanks.

if you have a good set of 3.5mm headphones you can use this

I just got mine, works great. A bit hard to insert the male into the kaiser for the first time (in my case it was to big for the female, lol)

I got something similar in the retractable InEar Isolators, also from Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=777)

i can confirm that they work well, both in the sense of working well with the kaiser and also working well in terms of sound quality. I have only had them for a while and don't make that many phone calls, but have had no complaints so far about the mic quality, but still too early to judge on this.

my main complaint is the way the jack bends to the right, which obstructs taking the stylus out on my kaiser. i can still take it out, but only with considerable effort.

Is anyone aware of a seller in the UK with a straight plug version of these? I'd rather avoid the $25 postage they charge to post it to the UK. What an oversight to not consider whether the stylus can be removed properly when the headset is plugged in :eek: :( It makes me wonder if they actually tested out a prototype before putting them into production. The way I see it, the only acceptable plug shape is straight because even if it bent 90 degrees to the other side then it would interfere with any attached lanyard, bent up would obstruct the microSD slot and down means the device wouldn't sit flat.

This might work for you. http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=148518&asource=151713

BTW, anyone try this yet??

It has a straight plug, and you can get it from expansys UK...

I've been happy with the HTC OEM earphones from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-STEREO-HEADSET-FOR-HTC-CINGULAR-8525-8925-TILT_W0QQitemZ380021986531QQihZ025QQcategoryZ20336 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hard to beat his price - less than five bucks delivered in the US. I was impressed enough that I went back and bought a second pair.

The USB jack on the ones that I have bends 90 degrees to the left, so the stylus isn't covered.

It’s not worth me crossgrading from the original HTC supplied headset for those - they seem much the same sort of thing. If you look at the other link I was referring to you'll see they're the sort of earphones that go right into your ears. The problems I have with my current original TyTN II headset include the foam 'socks' falling off regularly (the original socks only lasted a month or two and as HTC don't sell replacements:eek:, I'm now using Motorola ones) also they're a less than comfortable fit. If enough people enquire with Seidio then it may speed up the process of them releasing straight plug versions (hopefully with a decent carrying box).
