Looks like ICS will support DAC (it does on Galaxy Nexus anyways), but will it support USB headsets (i.e. the microphone)?
Anybody knows?
I wouldn't know... but I was wondering why you'd want such a thing? You can use the headphone jack to run a mic in (I even use it with RTA Pro as an audio tech out of the mixer headphone jack into my gs2 headphone jack) or bluetooth headset, both of which seem more useful. Just wondering what your application is...
Oh, well, just brings a wider option to connect a headsets. I have an excellent headset for telephone calls, Sennheiser CC550. It is a call center type headset with just outstanding sound quality for telephone calls (not inteded for music). It has a normal 3,5 mm compatible plug, and the headphone sound is normal but for some reason the mic gives a high pitched sound quality on all samsung devices including the S2. It works well on all other phones I had over the years Nokias, Ericssons, Iphones (you buy different end adapters). I also have a USB adapter for it - so I was hoping to use that get the mic to produe norma sound again.
And I tried to find other options, but non wired call center quality headset that I or our supplier has tried has worked. I currentely experiment with CM7 and bluetooth headset (as the bluetooth stack isn't working properly on stock rom) but non comes close to the Sennheiser in sound quality.

What headset are you all using with your HC Touch?
Let us know what audio quality is like for handsfree phone function and listening to music/MP3s. Please also share your experiences in using the included HTC headset (which I think is appalling)

Had it two days - Sony DR-BT10CX Bluetooth stereo/handsfree - great for running and excellent sound quality for both calls and music.
Cheap too!

That looks great.
Unfortunately I have already a great headset... with 3.5mm connector.
Is there any MiniUSB-to-3.5mm-adapter?
Thanks

Yes, but this is without microphone. Just for listening music.

Thanks, but the description says:
Description
Use this adaptor to convert the HTC Touch extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones. The adaptor also has a hangup/answer button for normal voice calls through a stereo headset.
So I think it has a button
Thats great
Jawbone headset is amazing
I have ordered one of these after hearing from many people just how good these are. I got mine from Expansys.co.uk

Man, those things look/sound badass...I might have to pick one of those up - I don't really have a quiet car, and I LOVE driving with the windows down! Hefty price tag on eBay though - pay to play though, right?
If you are looking at the DR-BT10CX, I suggest you get the DR-BT20NX instead because it got a remote for music - same earbuds and receiver essentially.

The HTC headset works fine for calling and music. For use in the car I have a jabra BT5020 and quality is good, auto-pair ofcourse.
I'm thinking of DIY-ing the usb to 3.5mm audio jack, does anyone have any idea how the usb connectors corresponed to the audio outputs? thanks!
Been shopping around now, since I saw that Jawbone...but I'm wondering...
Is there a Stereo Bluetooth headset with noise-canceling technology out there that anyone knows of???
I've been searching, but to no avail.
Motorola S9 for Stereo and Plantronics 665 for phone
If I am not listening to music I use the Plantronics 665. If I want to listen to music and take calls I use the Motorola S9 stereo BT headphones. The S9 is amazing for quality and fit. Don't let the strange (to some people) design fool you. These are high quality headphones. I have compared these to the Motorola 805s (DJ style) and HT820 (behind the head) and expected the S9 not to sound as good - not true. All 3 Motorola headsets sound great, but for the size the S9 sounds overall just as good if not better. I didn't like the sound of the Jabra BT headphones and the Plantronics over the head (590A) headset sounded good, but not as good as the S9.
By the way I tested a Jawbone and was not impressed at all. Didn't like the fit, sound was only OK and if you need the noise cancellation you have to press a button on the unit for 3 seconds to turn it on - each time. Certainly this is good technology, but for me the Plantronics 665 fits better and over all sounds much better.
I am using a Jabra BT620s for music and calls. Sound quality is very good. Nice fit, good battery performance and fits nicely on my head It has blue leds on both sides that blink when in use, its a bit weird at first but once you get past the oooohs and aaaahs from everyone its great
Has controls aswell (next, previous, volume up/down, accept call/hang up, play/pause) The accept/hangup key has the extra function when not in a call, it activates the voice command program so you can talk commands to your phone
has anyone tried SE HBH-DS970 with this ? comments ?
thx
sorry this is a double post
Anyone tested the HTC Touch E100 or W100 Wired Remote Control?

-Does it work on the Touch?
-Does it work with HTC Audio Manager?
-Does the FM Radio works?
What's the difference between E100 & W100 model?

I have a Nokia CK-7W buildin carkit in my car (company carkit) which also had bluetooth. Unfortunatly this bluetooth connection gives alot of problems when calling.
I can hear people fine but they hear constant break-ups in the connection. I tried it with a Sony bluetooth headset and everything worked fine.
So dont use the touch combined with a Nokia CK-7W
I'm using the Sony BT20NX and theyre absolutely the best. High quality stereo audio with AVRCP (?) remote profile which works with Windows Media Player, Audio Manager, and TCPMP. The headset is comfortable to wear, blocks outside sound so you can enjoy music at a low volume. The sound is clear and the connection is solid. The buttons are easy to use and I use it for MS Voice Command too, which is awesome. Perfect headset, if you can still find them (I heard theyre discontinued).
Hi,
Since the ExtUSB connector is mono (or at least that is what I have figured out from the schema) I am looking for a bluetooth or wired device that will have a mic (3.5mm) connector. I would like to record with my TyTN II.
Any of those out there?, I have been searching for hours with no luck.
I want to use my Sony ECM-DS70P stereo mic (no amplifier) to record.
I would be perfect if the same gizmo would have a 3.5mm out connection for headphones.
The thought is to stream audio data out to a server for live stereo sound (live music, open spaces, etc). Mono could do, but the difference is enormous on the mono mics I have tried, the sound space is lost.
Another solution would be to get an mp3 player with bluetooth such as the TEAC MP-500BT, but I don't know if they will work together and if the TEAC has an amplifier for the line-in. And why have 2 devices anyways?
Thanks,

this is the closest i've seen
guess you could go DIY but i suppose you had to deamp the signal to avoid it to overstear the mic in the pda
I thought about opening up one of these and soldering a 3.5mm connector on the mic wires but then I found out that the ExtUSB connector is mono. That is why I thought that there may be easier to go bluetooth.
- j
yeah all mics in all pda's are mono it really make no sense to do stereo with only 1 mic
you can just use one of the lines and ground to connect a mic
if there is a bluetooth device which meets your requirements i've never seen it
nor do i believe the market is big as recording 1 audio source in stereo dont make sense stereo is for more then 1 audio source
so if there is a bt device i'd say it's a nitche product which will likely cost
Makes sense. The difference between Sony ECM-DS70, which is a low budget (EUR 50) mic, and recording mono with pricier mics is huge, the detail is better on the mono mics I tried, but I get no sense of space which is what I am aiming at. Thus I need to get the sound into the tytn somehow.
i love using my big over the head 3.5mm headphone but for some reason when i connect them to the tp2, it seems as if the sound police stopped by and took the sound away. Is their any part of the registry that is keeping the 3.5mm headset volume that low or are they always going to be that low?
Woa, Bro.First you tell me where you got that 3.5MM Rhodium!!! Please!! I am also using T-mobile.
i'm talking about the adapter

hi ricky, i use my tp2 through an miniUSB->3.5mm adapter, and it can drive my Sennheiser HD 555 without low volume problem... considering the headphone is quite big... *in term of size, load and impedance*
yet it doesn't sound as great as if i plug my Senn into builtin 3.5mm jack on my sex1... *an eargasm that is*
which Headphone you were using bro...?
alternatively, you have to use Coreplayer to play music since it has (digital) preamp capability, Menu -> Tools -> Preference -> Audio, there you can set your preamp gain you wanted.
hope it helps...
i use the G1s 3.5mm adapter & it doesn't work with my iPod headphones that have the mic on them. The volume is way too low as well.
Did a quick search and wanted to bump this topic. I am having the same problem with the built in 3.5mm jack (Telus CDMA). The speaker actually seems louder then the earphones. This is however just recent. So was wondering if another program may have over written some reg settings and if so, where I would check to change them back and/or boost the audio out. P.S. I am aware of Core Player Pre-amp and the Audio booster and these are not the problem or solution I am looking for
Thanks for any feedback

Mine works just fine, surprisingly
I'm no expert, but I think that these devices don't have the power to drive large over the head headphones. The where designed with in-ear phones in mind I'm sure.
Portable players benefit from portable amps to drive over the head headphones.
Either get some earphones or a portable amp.
BTW my Shure SE530 are very loud with my Tilt 2 and sound great.
Dear great kernel modders,
For some reasons, Samsung does not allow stereo earphone (no mic) to hear phone calls (including normal call, video call, Tango).
Would it be possible to have a mod to enable a normal earphone to hear calls? In this way, I don't have to remove my earphone when a call comes in!
What I really want to do is to let earphone to listen call and have phone's mic for speaking.
(Yes, I know there are earphone with mic. But I cannot find a good quality and compatible with Galaxy S in my place. Bluetooth is not an option for its sound quality...)
Thanks guys!
Its not posible as far as its concerned (I think its a hardware design), What you CAN do is get hands on a Iphone > Nokia adaptor on ebay or whatever and use that and buy yourself some decent iphone headphones.
I'm looking forward to this feature as well. (This is the one thing I really miss from my Nexus One) I believe SuperCurio is working on it but it's pretty low priority. Drop him a line

I've tried the following 3.5 mm stereo headsets on my Galaxy S II but I still can't find one that fits my needs.
1. The in-ear Samsung headset that came with the handset - I don't like in-ear headsets for making calls
2. Samsung stereo headset (AAEP404) - The receivers complained of an annoying echo on calls
3. HTC RC RE160 - Volume was too low on calls so I couldn't hear the caller
Has anyone found a good headset that works with the Samsung Galaxy S II that isn't in-ear or Bluetooth and has good call quality and volume? The in-ear Samsung headset almost meets the requirements, as it has enough volume when on calls and there's no echo on the receiver's end, but I can't stand in-ear headsets while on a call.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
I tested the Blackberry mono 3.5mm headset and it worked well regarding the call management button and the audio levels.
I haven't tested the BB stereo headset, but I suppose it should work equally well.
Cheers for the reply. I'll have to look out for the Blackberry stereo headset so.
Yup. I tried the Tt esports Isurus and works like a charm.
Working with FM ?
Does one knows if one of them is working with radio app ?
coz this apps requires antenna found in the wire to the ears (checked on third contact line on jack).
thx in advance
Beats by Dre with control talk seem to work well with the SGSII I was actually shocked that it did.

Have you tried adjusting the volume using the Samsungs "secret" codes?
A tutorial for that can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012

Both the Samsung and HTC stereo headsets I've linked to in my original post work perfectly fine with the default radio app on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Okay, so I've bought an iPhone headset and a Blackberry stereo headset on eBay so I'll update the thread with my results. I've read, and heard, nothing but good things about the iPhone headset so here's hoping it's as great as people are making out. themissionimpossible, I certainly hope your theory is right that the Blackberry stereo headset will work as well as the mono one you tried...!
Blackberry mono headset works flawlessly as an antenna for the GS2 radio app.
The Sennheiser MM30i smart remote with mic works so far and sound quality is very good
Klipsch X10i - works perfectly, except the volume controls on the remote don't work, sound is AMAZING, FM works beautifully, call quality is great, though the mic is placed at the "V" and is therefore a bit low compared to others. Headset is extremely expensive.
Sennheiser MM70 with mic works perfectly. sound is good, FM works, same deal with the mic remote - middle button works for answer, drop, pause and skip, but volume buttons don't work. Not very expensive, but not giveaways either.
Shure headset with the Shure mic remote - mic remote works perfectly for pause, skip and cal answer/drop, but the mic is horribly placed unless you use the clip. It's also a heavy brute. They have their newer modular system that has the mic inline on the cord that plugs from the buds to the player directly - that might work better. Sound is based on whichever Shure bud set you run. Expensive to extremely expensive.
All of the above sets are loud enough to watch non-DRC'd movies on public transportation.
iPhone headset - bllleeeaaaaargh. Simply atrocious sound quality and volume levels.
