Guest h3adl0ng Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ok, like many others on this site who've bought an M3100 (or other hermes), I'm in a bit of a quandry over what to do about the lack of a 'normal' headphones socket. I'm tempted to buy some Bluetooth stereo headphones, but then that would be yet another thing I'd have to charge and it seems like a bit of a pfaff (sp?). So, I guess I'd prefer an adapter. I've been searching for a few days now and not really found anything. But I just found this: DataKits.co.uk headphone adapter and it looks about right - except it doesn't have the peculiar extra lump on the side of the plug like the included headset.

Guest jimbouk Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Not sure if there's any compatibility issues but I am looking for a splitter adapter that allows a headset and power lead to be plugged in at the same time. As you say though the price makes it worth a punt. Let us know how you get on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FragMeister Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Before you go buying this, I would sneak a look at a Moto V3 Razr, as I *think* they have what looks like a *standard* usb socket and not the same as the Hermes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Its still a mini-usb socket and despite the hermes having a weird shape to the mini-usb port, it accepts standard mini-usb cables - so unless motorola do some weird wiring (against the mini-usb standard) it should work.

Guest FragMeister Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 looking again at the close-up of the supplied headphones, it looks as though the connector on the headphones is NOT just a standard usb. The connectors on a normal mini usb plug are at the "top" (long side) whereas the connectors on these headphones are on the "bottom". take a look at Paul's M3100 review to see what i mean: http://www.modaco.com/Pauland39s-M3100-Review-t243882.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) looking again at the close-up of the supplied headphones, it looks as though the connector on the headphones is NOT just a standard usb. The connectors on a normal mini usb plug are at the "top" (long side) whereas the connectors on these headphones are on the "bottom". take a look at Paul's M3100 review to see what i mean: http://www.modaco.com/Pauland39s-M3100-Review-t243882.html Well I had a look but I couldn't see it clearly - if anything it looks the right way up - so I did some digging and it would appear that the motorola devices come with a mini usb cable and a mini-usb adapter which I guess is the little doohickey seen here: so it would depend on whether the adapter connects to the mini usb adapter or straight to the motorola port...
