Ok, so I've looked at all the threads regarding accessories and I guess I'm one of the few with this question. I'm looking for an adaptor that I use use my headset with. I have these and I'm wondering if those mini-usb to 3.5 mm adapters will work or what? Please someone help! I want to be able to use the built in mic for calls and the headphones for music. Thanks again!!
What's wrong with the adapter that came with your phone?
i have a feeling that the mic won't work. sounds like the adaptor only gets the sound out to headphone, but not input
The adaptor that came with my phone is a bit too bulky, I like to carry my phone in my pocket or in a very slim belt case and it's just too awkward and large...if you have any way for it to work in a more efficient way then please let me know. I've tried it and it's just a little too clunky.

I'm hoping to get some headphones for listening to MP3s on the JAM. Rather than modify the original pair, I'd like to get some which retract into a reel. I know there are some available which have 2.5mm mini jacks on them, but I'm worried that they won't work with the JAM.
To test the water, I've tried a standard stereo 2.5mm -> 3.5mm adapter (from MAPLINS) and found that it doesn't work quite right. The left channel comes through fine, but the right channel seems to be a mix of both left and right. I figure this is because the normal stereo plug actually shorts out two of the connectors on the JAMs socket (which has an extra connector presumably for the MIC?)
Soes anyone here know how these 4-pole sockets work? Are they standard across phones? Is it possible to buy a 4-pole 2.5mm plug and then solder that onto a different pair of headphones? (I can't seem to find 4-pole 2.5mm plugs anywhere...)
If we can figure this out, I'm sure it'd be very useful info for all those JAM users out there...
Cheers!

Hey,
I was just wondering what kind of headphones i can get for my I-Mate Jam?
Can i just go out and but normal headphones? I dont like the earbud type because they hurt my ears and they always fall out of my ears (I have never been able to wear them)
Thanks

Buy an adapter (normal 2,5 mm to 3,5 mm Adapter normally will do it but you can also get special (4 Pin) adapters, for example at www.expansys.com) and connect every headphone you want (with 3,5 mm connector). I recommend Koss headphones because they have the best sounding portable headphones in my opinion. Koss The Plug for example should be able to adapt even to your ears, since it uses foam earpieces which adapt to almost every ear. Better (but more expensive and also bigger) are the Porta Pro series.
Don't bother with adaptors which, in my experience, are never an exact fit.
I would recommend these from Seidio :
http://www.seidio-europe.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HEORSOVXDA3-SL
They're comfortable, lightweight and give decent audio quality.
3 questions:
1) I see the Seidio ones have a 'button' on them. Will this work for the Magician similarly to the include headphones? (i.e. will answer/hangup incoming call).
2) Does the Magician support headphones that have controls for more than just hangup/answer call? For instance, play next music track or stop music?
3) Are there any headphones out there that fit on the magician's connector, have 'the button', AND have an FM radio built in somehow?
Thanks for your help, you guys are great!
Ohters reused the headset that came with the Magician and soldered other headphones onto the box which contains the button.

Yes it does. You already know that there is a mic built into the control (?)
Sorry I can't help you with the other 2 questions.

That's what I did. I'm not very good with a soldering iron but I managed to do it reasonably easily, and the way the microphone/button case prises open means that all the soldering is completely hidden. Here's the link explaining how to do it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=handsfreethatdoesntsoundlikecrap
the link posted by JPreston looks to be the perfect option.
the only concern I have is would there be a sound difference to use the newly purchased headphones this way or through adapter.
anyone had a chance to compare the headphones through adapter first and then after the soldering operation?
thanks.
I was also thinking about soldering before I saw this: http://www.pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm
Just perfect!

Had one of those for my Qtek1010 for a while. Lasted about three months before it broke. The cord would have needed better reinforcement where it connects to the plug/mic.

Sorry, no I fixed mine straightaway. But the sound quality is excellent, and I believe not at all adversely affected by the soldering job, after all that's how the original earphones are attached! TBH I wouldn't imagine that an adaptor would noticeably diminish sound quality either - I just didn't fancy having the adaptor extending the extra couple of centimetres out of the phone.

yeah, afterall this looks to be the best solution.
Hi there, I am looking for a mini-usb to 2.5mm headset adapter for this lovely new thing. I snagged an adapter at a truckstop that said it would work with razr et al. however it doesn't work with this, are the pinouts different perhaps? If so can someone recommend where I can get an adapter for it? Two reasons why I am searching. First my workphone is a nextel i265, which means no BT, and second because I would prefer to have one headset and swap between both phones, and given that statement, I absolutely LOVE the Jabra wired headsets. So please and thanks in advance for any kind of help that can be provided.

Normal stereo headphones are 3,5 mm, I guess you'll want those.. In this case check this out: 11 pin to 3,5 mm
Another one
if you want 2,5 mm: Search better then me I can't find it
Actually looking for the 2.5, not currently caring about the stereo capabilities of the headset, if I want an mp3 player, I will carry around the much less fragile ipod Nano. I am looking just for a normal headset for hands free use while driving a car, and unfortunately, it just doesn't look like, at least first glance, that I am going to be able to use the same headset for both, and will just need two different physical headsets *sigh*

that will be perfect for you, you can use it to talk AND listen to music.
re:
if i were to use this jack... will i be able to use the vmoda duo headphones to answer phone calls?
Hey everyone, I have been looking around to find an adapter that will allow you to charge the device, and has a plug(s) that allows for an external mic and ear phones. I have seen the ones that allow for just the 3.5 for music but don't have another plug for a mic input... Or they have a built in mic which will not work for me. The reason for this is so I can put it in my motorcycle helmet. I need to be able to attach a wind resistant mic. Also want to use my ear buds so I can actually hear people and music. Any ideas? Thanks!
John
Try www.Expansys.com they have some good accessories for the TyTN II
Already looked
I looked on expansys already. Did not find anything on their site. The closest thing I could find is this: http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
Any other ideas?
I don't think there is currently anything that will do what you want out of the box. You are probably going to have to get a soldering iron out and come up with a homebrew solution. You could wire up your wind resistant mic to replace the built in mic in either the standard headset or an adaptor. You are still going to need something like 11pin to 5&6pin or 3in1 adaptor to allow charging and audio/mic.
You can use the y-cable and stereo headphones w/ built in mic from the AT&T 8525 to do what you're asking.
Gents,
I have a question that I've been trying to figure out for a little while now. I've been looking for a bluetooth receiver that has a 3.5mm stereo out to connect to an auxiliary port for a car. The closest thing I have seen is a nifty little piece of equipment put out by sony, model number MBR-100. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this with our phones (AT&T tilt), if it worked straight up, or if there was some tweaking that had to be done in order to make it work. I've been lurking around the forums and found a little info, but very mixed responses, so I figured I would ask.
Thanks!!!!

Jabra BT3030, i know someone who actually uses this and they love it, plus its got the music controls and phone controls as well. its also got a mic built in so you can use it as a headset.
hm..........I just went ahead and got the mbr-100, however, god forbid that one doesn't work out, I'll give this one a shot. I somehow missed another guy's thread on here that had about 5 or 6 of em listed. Thanks though!!!
why not try something like this ? http://www.pimtensen.nl/shop_details.php?grp_id=1&sub_id=47&cur_id=3309
itech bluetooth
I use an Itech Bluetooth that has a 3.5mm jack, and bought a shortened (4inch) 3.5mm male to male jack. Plug it in the car when driving, now i have music and speaker phone using car speakers and just unplug and take it with me when i leave the car effortlessly.

I use this http://www.orangeaccessories.co.uk/bt320_stereo_bluetooth_headset.html and its real cheap.
It doesn't have a2dp out of the box, but follow the tips here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/11702-Jabra-BT320s-Stereo-Bluetooth-Handsfree-Reviews.htm and it works really well.
