The i900 as an MP3 player


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I have had my i900 for a couple of weeks now and so far I am really happy with it. I havent been brave enough to update the ROM yet (waiting for more positive feedback) but have increased the volume which worked perfectly.

The only thing that is a little annoying is the incredible length of the headphone cable. I know that the cable doubles up as the aerial but this makes utilising the i900 as an everyday MP3 player a little awkward. I was wondering if anyone had purchased one of the headphone adaptors that are springing up on some websites. If so, how do they affect the quality/volume of the playback. Are they a cheap alternative or should I stay well clear of them? ;)

Thanks in advance.

Stuart

The bottom one looks quite slick, I like the fact the shipped one has a mic built in for calls etc tho...

Hi Fuzzman,

I used my old herald and now the omnia as my main Mp3 player, I would suggest making using of the A2DP and going wireless. I picked up a pair of Motorola S9 stereo headphones cheap and they are pretty good, its difficult to go back to wires once you've tried it tho... I have also upgraded the Car stereo to one that supports A2DP so it can be used in there as well when it's in its mount.. works a dream.

If you trawl around you can pick the Moto S9's up for less than £20, Battery life is very good on them too, lat my longer than my omnia at present ;)

Hi guys

Received the 3.5mm headphone adaptor with built in radio receiver a couple of days ago. All i can say is......... a great purchase!!! The little connection is compact, well put together and is a good tight fit into the Samsung connector.

The thing I was most worried about was the final sound quality and volume when using the adaptor. Im happy to say that it is even better than the standard Samsung connection.

For the price it cost me it is excellent and now i dont have to wrap the headphone cable round my waist to utilise the Omina as an Mp3 player.

Sorry thought i had made it clear.

I bought the compact box connection at the top of the post and got it from Ebay. Came from Hong Kong in about 5 days.

What do you mean by "with built in radio receiver"? That you don't loose the antenna functionality of your headset if you use this plug, or do you mean something else?

Any links to the product?

I'm hating the fact that I cant add a playlist with aproximately 15gb of mp3 in any program

whats the point of having up to 32gb in omnia if you cant have tons of mp3? ;)

Still cannot find an adaptor that has headphones and power - like you can get for the HTC's. This would be useful as i could listen to music all day when at my desk and not loose power. I suppose the answer is to get cheap bluetooth headphones and have the phone charging. :rolleyes:

The i910 came with an adaptor that can do both.
