[Q] Working headphone adapters

---

i have the akg k370 whcih dont work with my SGS, since the order of the pins is differend (mic and ground are switched).

since i love that headset im looking for a working adaptor

i couldnt find any in the internet

so far i managed to solder my own from an old adapter which didnt use its microphone pin.

but since it looks...lets say...selfcrafted im looking for one that works that u dont have to cut open and change the pins your self (or add a wire as i did)

if u know of any working ones which use all 4 pins and switch ground and mic pls tell me where i can buy em...

Similar issue here. I have Dr. Dre Beats and from what I've found from reading through is that I need to switch the ground/mic wires? I can do this if necessary and can even get a nice job done of it, but wouldn't this break my headset for other phones/players?

Point being a nice adapter would be sweet.

I bought this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Still waiting it gets here.

Surely if the ground connection was different then no standard plugs/phones would work or does the phone dynamically change the ouputs on pins depending on what's plugged in (since it has to support tv out as well)?

got the same ones, they work fine.

those adaptors and the nokia ones work, but they make the cable too long besides considering that the headsets mentioned already has a mic and you add another adaptor mith a mic, its simpler to just have an adaptor that switches the mic and ground terminals around
so what i did is i made this



i took my nokia ad-57 adaptor, cut the wire, cannibalized a female 3.5mm 4pole from some generic adaptor, soldered the wire so that ground from the 3.5male is soldered to the second ring from tip. thus, simply, the female of the adaptor is wired like an iphone compatible, and the male is wired galaxy s compatible.
if you cant be bothered to diy, you can get this http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm

but at 18$ plus shipping, i just think it is too expensive, lol

Another adapter.It's the same as yours but is way too expensive too http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm

The good thing is that it's premade. No soldering and cutting

Does the mic and button work fine?

gave up on the idea about making a lead when the price is under a fiver
bought the £4.75 set purely on looks but also waiting on a SE MW600
