Rubbish! I've just received my one from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00195I3X6), and while it works fine, it's quite big & feels cheap.

The one I had with my Kaiser I think was actually this one, mentioned above: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3-in-1-h...-with-extusb-for-htc-mobile-phones-p19259.htm, which looks similar, but is actually a fair bit smaller.

Oh well, it'll have to do for now!

Works well and does have mic. Looks the same as my shuffle. Not tested with decent headphones yet. comes with euro charger but has standard usb connection so will just use with HTC wall socket and i now have a travel charger for my phone too neat.

Hi there,

I've just bought the Motorola Universal BT Hands-free Stereo Clip MOTOROKR S605 and it works good ! You could use your own headphones (mine is Koss), you've music-FM radio switch button, microphone and next-back buttons for changing tune and of course volume up and down :) not really expensive too (less than 50€ ~ 70$)

Word of warning - I went for this one:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3-in-1-h...-with-extusb-for-htc-mobile-phones-p19259.htm

and it's good, works great for Mp3 playback, and it works with radio presets, but for some reason the radio can't scan for new stations with it. Bit strange, but it is not as good for radio as the HTC stock headset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SamJolly:
Anybody have experience of using bluetooth adaptors product like this from the TP2. Looks good, but I wonder what the sound qulaity would be like as opposed to a direct connection. My experience is that they are prone to interference and the sound quality can be weak.

Thanks,

Sam
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ice cool:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the fm radio doesn't work with BT headsts right? In that case what is the smaller adaptor from miniusb to 3.5mm, with a clip to hold it in your shirt, with a button for answering/rejecting calls and with mic included (if there is one) with a good audio quality? it would also be nice if it included a volume rocker or some button that would allow to control volume.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SamJolly:
Only the miniUSB headset is included. I wish there was a miniUSB/3.5mm adaptor included - there should be one IMO. However the provided lead does work well with the radio. Interesting point about there being no volume as I could not get my volume to work, but this might to do with that there is none!!! Not sure about BT headsets and radio pickup though. I would have thought that a simple 3.5mm adaptor would be fine though even it does need to be a MicroUSB one as opposed to MiniUSB.

bit unhandy while having your phone in your pocket... i found some adapters having a knick in the cable just after the miniusb-exit.. that would be ideal

I'm using that one, which works great for listening to music! You can buy it at ebay for just a few dollars including shipping :)

I've had such thing before:

But that was a ****ty quality...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Mr.Clark:
I had one of the official HTC things that looked like that. It worked well for ages with my Kaiser, but it started to get quite flakey and would (somehow) send "Dial last number" commands to the phone while I was driving. I thought it was just the Kaiser getting old, but it's been doing it with my brand new TP2, so I'm fairly sure it's the adaptor.

I've just ordered a £4 one from Amazon that has a power and 3.5mm jack going into a mini USB connector. We'll see how that goes...

HTC RC E100 Music Remote Control.

I got one of these for my kaiser, and was a bit disappointed, but it works an absolute treat on the TP2!!! Listen to music, take/reject calls, skip through tracks ( only with htc music player) built in mic and long lead..what more could you want!!??

below is link, i didn't pay that much for it as i got mine on ebay for £6!!:D

This is what i use, tho dont think you can find them anymore.

Woot: Kyocera

works pretty well, its nice that i can keep my TP2 in my belt holster and operate it. (my current holster blocks the data port)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ilNebbioso:
Just a question on this item, for whom have it: if you just plug this adapter WITHOUT plugging-in the 3,5" jack, does the FM-radio app "see" the antenna plugged in or it asks for the headset?

In the case:

how is radio quality?

does it correctly scans radio stations?

This is my scenario: TP2 playing FM Radio listening by bluetooth (deviating all audio to BT by software).

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dizzyraider:
The radio works just fine as you would with the stock one (audio quality and the scanning of radio). The good thing about this adapter is that it is really small and portable, I keep it on my key chain. The only down side with this adapter as will all other 3rd party adapter is that it only works with audio, while mics do not. BTW, I love mine and I prefer this adapter over a couple of other ones that I've tried.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] sambo60:
Can anyone here recommend a specific one which you've actually used? I need one which is high quality, won't degrade the audio, damage my audio jacks (as some chinese products have done to me in the past), or risk damage to the phone's usb port (this is the MOST important thing; I'm always afraid I'm gonna break this).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] MrMiyagi:
I've yet to find a perfect one and I've tried a few. IMHO it's not really possible as the USB connector and socket are just not a snug fit. You always get wobble and that normally means crap sound if you try to listen to music when the phone is in your pocket.

If ONLY they had put a 3.5 mm jack this phone would've been perfect.

As I said I gave up that idea and now use BlueTooth earphones :D Problem sorted, now I can stop worry about damaging my USB socket and charging the phone while listening to music.

The downside is finding a pair that suit you and your pocket.

I use LG HBS-250 BT earphones, small, light, decent sound and not too pricey.

Hope this helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] sambo60:
I use Shure se530 earbuds, and since they cost $500 they sound like they cost $500. I'm so accustomed to those that there is no way I can switch to listening to music through bluetooth headphones (even good ones). I guess my axim will not be able to retire quite yet, as it will still be my dedicated music player. I HATE you htc!!

What about the Jabra BT3030.. The "Dog Tag"..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gIQN-bTFG0

I'm thinking of getting one of these to go with my Z.Buds..

http://www.zagg.com/audio/zagg-buds.php?intcmp=top_nav

I think they'll go pretty well together, bypass AT&T's dumb no 3.5mm port idea, and maybe give me a little more freedom of movement.. Anyone have any experience with the "Dog Tag"?

BTW.. Has anybody ever found one of these? From page 1..

Those are the main details of the adapter. Its a genuine htc accessory and it claims to have a microphone passthrough and i really hope it does. I'm wondering if anyone has bought this adapter and has had success with the microphone passthrough function? I'm not doubting the product its just that i've search on ebay and amazon and havent found the same device and wondering if anyone can confirm it does indeed allow headsets with a built-in microphone to work because i have iphone headphones with the mic included so i want to be able to use those.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] osarus:
I brought 2 off ebay as i thought the sound quality of the first was horrible, turns out it wasn't the extension but the phone. My nokia n95 has much MUCH better sound i was very unimpressed.

Note: using westone 3's $400 in ears, better then seur se530's so its not the earphones :P

To make matter worse the second one that looked like a better build BENT in my pocket bending all the pins inside the phone just walking around the block. I resorted to pulling it apart..... and fixing it with superglue and tweezers... lol (with success!)

I was told this was not covered by warranty because it wasn't a HTC accessory.... imo it was definitely in the range on "normal use" that would would expect this phone to be under.

Id say its the only think letting this phone down :/

U could resort to bluetooth but the ADPCM codec used to transfer the audio will cut quality and most things are designed with battery in mind so don't work at full power, if they do they will have very short battery lives anyhow.

You would be better off getting a stand alone player over a bluetooth dongle with a 3.5 jack, its an unnecessary step
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Luken10:
When you mean the default HTC music player, are you referring to the touch flo player or Windows Media player?

USB Type Work with FM Radio?

I hate using that adapter thingie that came with my Tilt 2. It would be handy to use while charging of course, but it's added bulk that I simply don't want.

Therefore, I'm in the market for a USB in-ear headset that also has a microphone for calls, that will also allow me to listen to FM radio. My old USB headset for my Kaiser won't work with FM radio, so I think it's missing the additional wire to allow it to also function as the radio's antennae.

Any one find a USB version that DOES? ;)

Thanks,

Debbie

I use the 3.5mm adapter included with the TMOUS TP2 to play mp3 in my car stereo. I have used it with an FM transmitter and a cassette adapter. I prefer the cassette adapter because the FM transmitter sometimes has difficulty finding a free station.

ok, now will using a standard mini usb still let u listen in with headphones. cuz i tried with my pops little adapter he had, and didnt work. You know it works when the headphone icon pops up. im mad cant the name, but he had that television audio thing for the car and audiojack or some ish..lol that works by playing over the radio station frequency. he said it worked on my sisters ipod. :rolleyes: i was mad i left that mini-usb EXT piece at home , cuz i wanted to show i could do that too..lol the icon didnt pop up or no sound. plus tried plugging headphones in , still no luck. Im like , why in the world they make this like this?

Thats not the issue anyways , wit me. Im juss mad that the one time i use my phone to listen to headphones while walking, it breaks...goshh..lol now i have to bend the cord part halfway to get complete sound outtve it. it must have broke or got bent in my pocket somehow. it wasnt even a far or long walk. any other time in the house listening, im good. Now , im not. lol

Im just trying to find out another way or ima have to buy another one of those factory pieces. ill have to try again with other non htc adapters to see if headphones work. i already know about the radio thing.

Adaptor from Hong Kong works well. Stereo is fine and actually sounds a bit louder than the stock adaptor that came with the G1. It feels solid and well constructed and looks 100% better than the spaghetti mess you get using cables.

I'm not sure why, but every 3.5mm adaptor I've tried (the official one with the remote, the one that allows charging and audio output simultaneously as well as 2 other 3rd party adaptors) just doesn't seem to sound very good or loud, even with Audio Booster enabled.

I've tried the adaptors with a variety of earphones (Shure SE530, Sennheiser CX300 and Crossroads Bijou 3), but the volume level is considerably lower than my iPod Touch. I think the maximum volume setting on the TP2 is comparable to 50-60% volume on the iPod Touch.

Is there anything I can do to improve this? I'm using an unbranded TP2 with the first official WinMo 6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM by the way. I've tried using HDTweak's audio boost tweaks, but it rendered the microphone and speaker completely useless. The audiopara tweaks don't seem to help either.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] demandarin:
lol...yeah, whatever u do, stay away from hd tweaks or any other audio tweak. i had that happen to me also that it blew out the audio completely until i put it back to default setting. it seems as if the stock usbext piece probaly the loudest. i used that and audio booster with custom setting and it was wayyy too loud. i was listening to slacker radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] boardsportsrule:
Has any one opened up a TP2 to see if we could solder in our own audio jack? looks like you just need a line connected to the two data lines... A little tiny mini 3.5mm jack with some glue, a hole in your for and BAM! no more adaptor messyness. I may have a new project..!

Adapter for Tilt 2?

Ebay has a lot of adapters and I am mainly looking at the version that does not have a cable. Being I am a Newbie I cannot post the links to the type I am referring to. It comes with a key chain adapter also. The one I was looking at has the "Buy it Now" cost of $3.99. There are several post with these pictured. Are all of these on Ebay the same and will they work with the Tilt 2?

Are these any better or worse than the cabled ones? I am leery of the ones with the cable between the phone and the 3.5 end due to a lot of reviews saying the cable breaks.

Also will this work as an antenna? This question was asked earlier, but I could find a response. I plan on connecting my SkullCandy earphones to this adapter.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BeEazy10:
I purchases the adapter ur talking about sometime back, i ended up sitting on it and causing it to short out :(. So i decided to go with something new http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_tr...m+A2DP+Stereo+universal+Bluetooth+Headset+new

have yet to receive it because its being ship from hong kong, take about 10-25 days to get to u

To add a link, just use the button on the Reply dashboard that looks like a chain link with a globe behind it (if you hover over it with your cursor, it will say "Insert Link"). Then just copy and paste the URL for the webpage you want to link into the dialog box that pops up.

I've tried both the non-cable type of adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Multi-Adapter-T-Mobile/dp/B001JKQDE2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1280234536&sr=8-4

And the cable type, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/5325D034-earphone-Cingular-Cavalier-Excalibur/dp/B001V82H1K/ref=sr_1_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1280234660&sr=1-15

I didn't like the non-cable type, because it was too bulky (I know there are some smaller ones out there - haven't tried them). Where the cable type basically just blends in with your headphone cord, so it doesn't seem bulky at all. The non-cable type really feels like there is something extra sticking off the end of your phone. But the nice thing about some of the non-cord type, is that you can charge and listen to music/video at the same time. In the end, I think its a personal preference.

Yes, the cord itself can physically break eventually, or the wires inside can begin to fray, causing you to lose sound. I have one of these that did that after being used for several months. But they are cheap enough, that I bought a couple extra. You can get a 3 pack of them on eBay for around $3. They are no-name brand, and a bit cheaply made, so I kinda consider them disposable. Having extras also lets you stash them in different places, like in your car, at work, etc.

Another comment about the cord-type adapter that I linked, I like this one for the most part. But one slightly annoying aspect is that the 90-degree bend is facing to the right, so when you have the phone in landscape (to watch a video fullscreen) the 90-deg bend is facing the wrong way, upwards. Not a huge deal. But a similar one with the bend the other way would be preferred.

If one seated into the other further maybe it would last but its not. I ended up wrapping mine with splicing tape to strengthen it but it eventually gave up the ghost..:(

anyonoe konw where can I buy (if they do exist) a headset with a remote where I can use to control the music playback like fastforward and rewind? I do not see such headset at all except for one where you can use it to answer phones.

BTW for those who got the USB headset, a quick question, how is the usb adtpter holding onto the phone? Those 3.5'' headset jack often holds the headset to my MP3 player tight so that if I accidently drop my mp3 player, it will not fall off the cord and onto the ground. I am not sure if the usb connector can do so.

Maybe not what you are looking for, but my Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones have this functionality - but perhaps you don't want BT.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
I have the same type as in post 81 above. The plug is very snug. I can dangle my phone by it while holding the cord adapter. I wouldn't want to catch the phone that way while it was falling, it might damage the mini USB port. But it would probably stay plugged in that event.
