Headphones for XDA Orbit

---

Does anyone know if I can get other headphones for my XDA Orbit? Because of the mini usb connector factor - I am thinking it may prove tricky or can we use the mini usb to 3.5mm jack I have heard mentionned ?

i have tried a Motorola V3 mini usb to 3.5mm adapter with my MDA Compact3, it didn't work!! sounds continued to play though phone, no sound though headphones.

This is what you need: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142090

It converts the strange HTC 11-pin mini usb to a 3.5mm socket

Not in stock yet though.

is ther an adapter that functions simaler to the sony phones adapters, it goes from the port on the phone to a smapp 3.5 jack and microphone, then any earphones can be plugged in, so that you get to use ur own eaphones but can still use it to make and recieve calls

Thanks TheBrit That jack looks like it would fix the issue of different headphones but I wonder would there be any issue with the FM radio. I was thinking could you do a magiver ,using the existing usb headphones but solder different headphones from the microphone part might also be the way forward if that makes sense!

yea, that's wat I was saying, have a headphone socket after the volume control and mic...

I imagin this would solve the problem of the radio aswell...

Well, Thanks for the ideas - went to Maplins and bought an inline socket - followed this tutorial and happy days !!
