Guest SomeaznPunk Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I really dislike the headphones that come with the Shadow. I have my own high-end earphones and I was wondering if there was some kind of adapter I could buy so that I could use my own headphones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check here. http://store.wmexperts.com/content/accesso...73-75--2373.htm Depending on shipping charges at that site it may be cheaper to get it through eBay. I think mine was only about $6 shipped.

Guest MetalSlug Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I bought mine from Semsons.com. Very cheap! P Could you link the page where they have them? I could only find the 2.5mm audio adapter for other phones, not the HTC smartphone 2.5mm. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 This is the one I have: http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html i'll actually try it with the shadow later :( P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickf123654 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I am using the Logitech FreePulse Bluetooth Headphones. They sound great and I did not have anytrouble pairing them to my phone. They also come with a standard audio jack bluetooth transmitter to allow them to work with non-bluetooth devices. The only problem is that they do not have a microphone and will only work for listening to music / movies on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mmmaiki Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sure. Check here. http://store.wmexperts.com/content/accesso...73-75--2373.htm Well, with that kind of adapter you can listen to music, but when a phone call comes in, you would have to take off the phones in order to speak on the phone. Better to get one that doubles as a phone headset, besides being a music headset, with an inline microphone. Seidio has such adapters (www.seidioonline.com), other companies as well. And now Shure has just come out with one, which might be better, although more expensive--called MPA. (Music Phone Adapter). Well, most of these adapters (like the Shure) end in a 2.5 mm phone plug, so you would still need the adapter on the end to go fro 2.5mm to mini-USB. Seidio, however, does make such adapters that end in mini-USB, so you don't need an additional adapter. (They don't yet list Shadow though, look at models for Dash.)

Guest badbob001 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Seidio has a two adapters, one with the built-in mic and one without. If I get the one without the mic, I know I would be able to listen to the person calling, but would I be able to still use the mic on the phone to talk back? Or is the phone mic disabled by *all* headphone adapters, regardless if it has a mic or not, and so I would need to get the adapter with the built-in mic or deal with ripping out the adapter to answer a call?

If you have a headset plugged in, I don't think the internal microphone on the phone functions, as it expects you are using the one on the headset. So, if you are using a headset that has no mic, then there is no way to speak on the phone with that headset plugged in. Therefore, if one wants to be able to answer an incoming call, etc., one should really either use a phone headset with a mic, or an adapter with a mic, with which you can use your own stereo headphones.

I can't figure out why my mini usb headphones wont work on my shadow?! isnt it all the same? The very unfortunate fact is, these phone manufacturers did not come out with any kind of standards for their ports, and each brand is different. For instance, stereo phone headsets with 2.5mm plug, do not work in all brands of phones that have a jack of that size. One that works on HTC, will work on Palm, but not Motorola. Same thing with these mini-USB ports. Each manufacturer wires them differently, and peripherals are not compatible. Totally screwed! :( But--why didn't your Shadow come with headphones? I thought that was standard. Actually, Seidio (www.seidioonline.com) has stereo phone headphones on their site (their brand), that end in the mini-USB port HTC-compatible (like the Shadow). Retractable, no less. I don't know anything about the quality of the headphones though. Try them, and tell us how they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trickinit Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 What kinda head set are you guys using like actual bt headphone that are used for music or like the single sided bt headphone that you talk on? cuz i can't get music to play on the single one I can get both types to work. I have a Plantronics Discover 655 that plays the music (though it sounds pretty lousy) and a pair of MotoRokr s9 that sound amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mmmaiki Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 What kinda head set are you guys using like actual bt headphone that are used for music or like the single sided bt headphone that you talk on? cuz i can't get music to play on the single one There are a couple convertible BT headsets available now, with which you can use a headset on one ear, as a regular phone headset for phone calls, and you can plug in a stereo extension to it, so that you can attach to both ears, and hear music in stereo. With those, you can also hear music with just the one earpiece on, you don't have to add the stereo extension. The two I know of are the Jabra BT8010 and the Plantronics 855. They have both been discussed extensively on the Howardforums Bluetooth forum, and I think a little bit here as well, possibly earlier in this thread. As someone else wrote, there is a freeware program called BTaudio, which will route all audio from the phone to the single (non-music) BT headset, including music. I doubt you would get very good music quality that way, though. Better, if you want to listen to music sometimes with one ear, sometimes with two, and also use the headset as a normal one ear phone headset, to get a convertible headset, like the two I mentioned.
