PPC Techs XDA/SX56 2.5mm/3.5mm Audio Headset Adaptor This adaptor converts the proprietary 4 conductor Pocket PC phone jack found on the XDA to a STD 2.5mm headset jack and 3.5mm stereo headphone Jack, and includes a PPCPE compatible answer/mute button. The adaptor cable is approximately 5" long.

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 ops: !

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

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!
