I've looked everywhere but fail to find a simple mic with a 2.5mm jack on the end. I need one to use in my car.
Anyone seeing one?

Hello,
I'm interested to know more about wired headset.
I need it for answering when ride my moto. (this is why I don't need BT headset - but I have it)
Well, here in My country i didn't found a headset for Uni, because they are too rare.. and Uni have an 3,5mm jack, not 2,5mm as used in lot of gsm phones.
So, if anyone has skematiks, how to build headset for Uni from other type of stereo headset, I would apreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Basically, you can just buy a normal headset, then replace only the jack. All headsets (should) have the same impendance(did I spell that right?), so no modification to the headset itself should be needed.
Just get a 3.5mm 3-channel(not the general one, you need the extra channel for the mic...but I guess you already know that) jack from an electronics store, cut off the original, identify the wires used(using a multimeter, or linking it up to another cable playing music), and splice on the new 3.5 mm one used. Just be sure to insulate the wire joints well so they won't accidentally short-circuit.
There: one 3.5mm headset, ready for use. Maybe slap on some cosmetics to the joint, so it won't look that ugly and homemade(a heat-shrink tube should do the trick, along with some padding to give it a some taper like those on factory-made jacks.
Good luck with your MacGyvering, mate!
Very thank you..
Your idea is super.. the only thing is that I never seen a 3,5mm jack with 3 chanells.. but I will search for it..
After I will do the trick will post back the results.
P.S. as subject of meditation.. did you ever seen another phone model which use a 3,5mm jack at headset?
I want to use my old Sony headphones with a 3.5mm jack but I'd also like to be able to take calls when listening to music. So I'm thinking I'll modify the cord to make it short and get an adapter with a mic built into the 3.5 female end. I see some on ebay but I want to find one that has good build quality. Any experience with one of these?
The original adapter is very good, dunno about the copy's with mic, the ones without are fine but built quality is terrible.
Hi,
I plan on using my desire in the car and playing music through my car stereo's aux input. But I dont really want to be picking up the phone to skip forward and back through tracks. The headset that ships with the phone has great inline controls that work with spotify. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes a cable that has a 3.5mm jack at both ends (i.e. one end into the phone, the other into the car stereo) but also has inline controls. I could then find a way of mounting the inline control somewhere on the dash.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have done this in the past by cutting the headphone ends off a cable and then soldering this to a 3.5mm jack plug available from electronics shops etc, not too much of a job to do, but will prob mean you have to find another htc headset with the controls if you want to keep your original headset
Haven't seen this no, but it should be easy to fix.
Either just solder the cable yourself, or just buy a 3,5 to 3,5 cable and insert it. Should solve your issues. Just ordered the Griffin SmartTalk which has inline controls and a 3,5mm jack output myself, it had good reviews for the iPhone and should work well with the my Desire aswell.

Let us know how you get on with it please.
Hi All,
I'm a bit lost with this one and cant quite seem to find\word what I am looking for in my searches.
I basically just want to connect an audio input into my Desire. I assume this is possible as the headphone jack has a Mic input functionality. Any ideas? I am thinking of a short cable that plugs into the headphone socket and has a female 3.5mm jack on the other end into which a standard microphone\aux input can be plugged?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Have you tried something like the iRig? It's predominantly used for connecting electric guitars to iPhones/iPads for use with GarageBand, etc. - plugs into the 3.5mm headphone jack, and has one mono 6.4mm input for guitar cable, and a stereo out for attaching headphones. I haven't yet bought one (hoping to get one soon - about $25 on Amazon, and there are other alternatives) so I can't say for sure that it'd work, but it might be worth investigating some more.
So now that we've courageously broken free of the burdensome shackles of the 3.5mm jack I guess we got to make the move to bluetooth. Every adapter I see seems to have an inbuilt microphone and none of them make use of the inline mic that many headphones come with does anyone know of any adapter that doesn't need to be dug out of a pocket to reply to a call?
PS: before anyone mentions the Sound Blaster E3 yes it has a mic input but only if you split the jack into separate mic/earphone jacks and only when connected to a pc via USB. I've asked elsewhere and this has come up once or twice.

I am confused. What do you need an adapter for Bluetooth? Can you show an example?

Ah ok that explains a lot. The way I was picturing in my head confused me lol.
I have not seen any of those that have inline mics with a single 3.5mm.

There are good number of bluetooth headsets with mics that you get for the same or less than the price of those. Or if you have a set of wired headsets that you're really attached too, why not just use the USB-C ->3.5mm that will be included in the box?
