Guest eminenz Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 hi all, I have my spv loaded with mp3's and need to get proper in-ear style stereo headphones.... thing is, I wanted them to be with a 2.5 mm plug!! searched everywhere I could for hours... couldnt find any. Any ideas? I just dont want to get a standard 3.5 mm and then having to get an adaptor. help me out guys, I'm in London Cheers Fernando :roll:
Guest FrankyG Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Think you'll really srtuggle getting what you want, I did. I opted for the adapter Here. I can recommend the product, it's not as unobtrusive as I would like, but it's OK to be honest. More Headset info found on this site. HTH FrankyG
Guest idavid Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 i found that using those little felt thingies (like what you get with some in ear phones over the original pair helps alot. you can pick them up at any electrical store. it makes the originals far more comfy.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Keep posted there is a nice alternative solution coming soon :D I will hopefully be able to give more details in the next few days. (my few days not Oranges few days :lol: )
Guest Gorskar Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 I hope its soon. I managed to lose my original headphones, but I've been putting of getting some kind of replacement becuase I think £10 is too much to pay for a little adaptor wire, and theres no way I'm paying £15 to get another one of the original rubbishy ones.
Guest eminenz Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 thanks guys. I'm going to get some felt covers and wait for Awarner to show me the way!! cheers Fernando
Guest Yassa Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 I made me own one and an adaptor 8) . You can get the 2.5mm jack from RS catalogues, search for product number: 3299944 at www.rswww.com. The home made version is great although no volume as that requires the proper connector :? With the adaptor I can use the phone to play MP3s through a cassette adaptor in my car :D and it even acts as a loudspeaker :lol: Cheers Yassa Edit- Bad (long) url removed --Mono
Guest madu Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Awarner, so what happened to your 'few days' solution? :lol:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Awarner, so what happened to your 'few days' solution? :lol: Err I only posted this today :? give me time, I'm awaiting delivery on a nice bit of kit that I have been asked to test. When I am happy with it I will give as much detail as possible in an unbiased review. That's all I'm saying at the moment :D
Guest madu Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 OH SHooT!! My appologies Awarner! I am tired. I somehow saw 24th Nov as a post date for that one... Doh - that's when you joined.... [ashamed, climbs under table] :lol: Edited- Will [madu, language!] :oops:
Guest eminenz Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 ok guys, discovered something... Awarner? have a look at this when getting this new earphone for review! maybe you can compare whats coming with these etymotic stuff i have discovered: http://www.pjbox.co.uk/Etymotic/etymoticindex.htm They have been reviewed by experts and seem to be the real deal for audiophiles. They have a 3.5 mms stereo jack though... sorry guys.... I am no audiophile but really want to get real quality sound out of the SPV. Cheers Fernando
Guest Dylan Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 I actually found that the headset from my girlfriend's Nokia 8310 works perfectly!
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 and yes... the price is a joke! ROFL .. either that or it's just sad....
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Awarner? have a look at this when getting this new earphone for review! maybe you can compare whats coming with these etymotic stuff i have discovered: http://www.pjbox.co.uk/Etymotic/etymoticindex.htm They are nice but well out of my price range :D still want one though. Some people crave for quality as long as their hearing is spot on :lol:.
Guest siu99spj Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 I don't have ANYTHING that would get full use out of those things! All the music I listen to is MP3 (Even though I have most on CD as well!) and on the SPV, my 256MB card has several lower bit-rate songs. I couldn't spend more than twice the cost of my SPV on a pair of headphones sorry! TO be honest, my headphones for my PC have an incredible response range (Don't have the specs but the bass starts doing funny things to my ears!:lol:), the speakers are good enough for me (Logitech Z-640's) and the SPV headphones are just about wearable, if necessary, after using the old earplug felt! The only annoying feature about is where to keep the headphones when not in use. If I use a pocket, when I come to remove use it again I have to spend about 15mins untangling the mess its got into. But as I said, I rarely use the SPV for music or use headphones to listen to it, though that is slowly changing now that I have tried it once or twice.

Guest HelloDave Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 There's no way I'd spend £129 on a set of earphones for my SPV! The sound hardware in it isn't great anyway, so better earphones can only help so much :lol: I chopped the earpieces of my original SPV headset and soldered some Sony ones on instead, and that works well enough for me :D
Guest Gorskar Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 I managed to lose my original headphones somewhere (I dont know how - I also lost the camera - damn I'm clumsy) At the moment my stopgap solution is a 79p 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo converter that I got from the Maplin's about 10mins walk north of me. Combined with some headphones that came with my olde minidisc player = music, although with the converter plug it sticks out a long way from the side of the phone. I would still be interested in something a bit nicer though...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Hopefully I'll get a review together tomorrow.
Guest chrisusa Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 What about this? http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm I'm waiting for one, i'll let you know
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 You spoilt it now :lol: :lol: That's the one I'm reviewing :D Just writing the review now.
Guest Simon Desser Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I bought a "similar" adapter from this company a couple of years ago for my Siemens SL45, and it worked a treat :lol: Come on Ashley, should I order one :?: :wink:
Guest chrisusa Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 ouppps sorry about that, awarner. :oops: :oops: Ordered it one week ago and still no news...
