I wanted to reduce the cable clutter on my nightstand and replace the computer speakers I'd been using. Thought about buying a bluetooth speaker, but what I wanted was a bit more than I could afford. I also had a decent set of bookshelf speakers wasting away in the garage.
I bought a Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wire...1T5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572885&sr=8-1
and a small class T amp to power the speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-Tripath...6OTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333572949&sr=8-1
Works flawlessly and I'm really pleased with the sound.
Hmmm pretty neat idea. After looking over the site for awhile, I might get the Lepai LP-168HA mini-amp which has a built in usb port for a BT usb dongle. That way I don't have to worry about two separate units. (*** I can't verify if it'll work though.***)

What's the pointed of having the amp. Could someone clarify?

That amp looks pretty cool. it looks like you can plug a usb stick with mp3's or cell phoneon it. not sure a bt dongle would work. I went for the cheap one...
The amps is so you can use bookshelf speakers rather than having to use a receiver. you could just use computer speakers, but the set of speakers wasting away in my garage where far better.
The USB port is a very nice option, not sure why it wouldn't work to charge the phone.

Hi all,
After reading some of the posts regarding headphone adapters for the XDA II (M1000 in my case) I was deciding whether to buy one of them or try to make my own up. My soldering skills are somewhat lacking but I thought I'd go for the latter.
I had three choices:
1) Buy some ear/headphones, take off the phone plug and solder that into the answer/hang up/microphone bit. Would work but would be stuck with that pair of earphone/headphones.
2) Buy a female phone connector, chop off the earphones on the supplied hands free and solder them onto that. Excellent solution for cheep (79p in Maplin!). Looks a little ugly tho cuz of the mahoosive gap around the cable going into the sheath of the socket.
3) Buy a headphone extension lead, chop it off near the female connector end and then solder this onto the PCB of the answer/hang up/microphone bit. This required better soldering skills than I currently have so that'll have to wait until my mate is able to do it for me! Will look better as the connector will be sealed tight to the cable going into it.
So, I lumped for option 2. And I must say it works flawlessly. I also have the advantage now of being able to connect any pair of head/earphones into it or even connecting it into my Hi-Fi/Car stereo/portable speakers depending on what I need!
Couple of pics are below...

i've been searching until i have final come across a peaker dock for the x10 on ebay
here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Dock-Speaker...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item230f93d21d
Well, its a speaker dock for sure. But its not strickly for the X10 or X8.
That is a universal dock that is being sold as an X10 Dock. I have seen several of them in discount stores and they have all been labeled different.
Blackberry / HTC / Samsung.
Reason being is that almost all the newer smartphones have a 3.5mm Headphone jack now and all it takes is a slot big enough to accomadate most any phone and you can call it what you want for whatever phone ya like.
PS:
I can't comment on sound quality as I have never seen one hooked up to anything and I sure it will work quite well with your phone. I was just giving a heads up
That looks like a fairly low quality solution.. you'd be better off getting a generic iPod dock - most of them are now compatible with headphone style input now.. here's my home one in use with my sexy new Arc !!! I also have a portable one.. Gear 4 Street party revolve.. for holidaying etc.. works with my phone and my kids ipods..

What I like about it is once you pull your device off, you can flip the top down and it gets flush with the rest of the body. Really slick. The only down side is it won't fit if you have a case on. I tried with my bodyglove case and it wouldn't fit.
You should be able to find them at VZW for $50 but ask for the SGS3 media dock.
I just had a mini orgasam......

I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Just wanted to give my opinion and maybe convince somebody that is looking for a good set of wirless headphones.
They are extremely comfortable and the battery life is ridiculous, they last up to 30 hours of playback music, that means that I've charged em just once since I got them, like a month ago, it's amazing. They can pair through NFC and the bluetooth pairing is extremely simple as well.
The sound guys is spectacular when you use the software like Viper4android, you can unleash the true potential of this headphones with differential sound, more base, impulsers etc..., really if you are looking for a headset that looks cool, sounds better and has the convience of wireless technology, look no further.
I use them mainly on my home or when traveling, I think they are too expensive to wear them in the street plus I don't like to risk my gadgets all that much.
Also, they have an attachable cable to use them in wired mode if you EVER run out of battery wich is almost impossible or you are on a plane. The difference when you plug the cable is almost imperceptible, is amazing how good they sound in wireless mode.

congrats on the new headphones... they look freakkin' awesome and comfy. also noticed they are kinda pricey... well, but i also think that it pays off to buy quality.... buying cheap usually means buying twice.
Any idea how these compare with the UE9000?
