I was thinking about buying one of these.
Does anyone else have one? Are they an good?
I have just a basic usb to 3.5 headphone adapter, and I use iPod headphones.
Sounds great to me.

Yea, I bought those and they are being shipped to me right now.
But I think that the stereo bluetooth adapter seems pretty convenient, no?
If HTC shipped a bluetooth adapter like this, I wouldn't complain about the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack
Or you could just get stereo BT headphones and forget the wires and adapters!

No stereo bluetooth headphones can compare to my Shure earbuds.
Plus I think that most stereo bluetooth headphones are clunky.
Do you have a nice pair though? any recomendations?
I got one from ebay as well. I paid less than that, but it's still the same. They all are manufactured in China. I use mine everyday. Good sound quality, works right out of the box. I haven't really had any problems.
I only have two complaints. 1. You cant use them while charging, as the charger shown in the third picture is plugged into the headphone port. Strange, yes but it works. That is not really that much a problem, because it has great battery life! 2. No matter what I do, I cannot connect it to my computer to stream music from my computer to the A2d2p adapter. (or whatever it's called, lol) If you come up with a solution after you get yours, please post, or email me.
For me, price was an issue. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money to listen to music from my phone, but I wanted good sound quality. Regular Bluetooth Stereo Headphones are expensive. For me, this was the way to go. I bought this and a pair of Sony wrap around headphones, and I am rockin'. I think you will be pleased.
**edit**
PS - I have attached the manual I got from a Chinese Suppliers site, as one doesn't come with it. At least not with mine. (Maybe thats why I got mine cheaper, lol)
PSS - And you know they are not only headphone adapters, but can be used for calls as well. It is kind of awkward to hold the adapter up to talk to someone, but I usually just clip it on my lapel. OK, done editing now.

Nice! Thank you for the information!
I think I'm going to get one, I just have to be careful because most of the ones they are selling on Ebay only have UK outlet plugins. I live in the US, and it looks like you do too by the picture of your plug.
I have these:

Great sound, comfy and durable as hell.
But I think im going to try out these next as I want something smaller and lighter, Im still shoppin though for a newer pair:

Cool dude. The Voyager ones look nice, but I think I'm gonna go the cheap route and just get the converter.
I have one of these:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds200?cc=CA&lc=en
It's a Sony Ericsson DS-200 which I bought last year specifically so I could plug some decent headphones in!
I think it was fairly expensive - about £50 when I bought it, but it has worked great with anything that I've wanted to pair with it, including my Excalibur.
But it's far better than using a wired headset with a 3.5 jack in my opinion, because if you use "proper" earphones that come with a long-ish cord then combine that with the long-ish cord from the wired headset then it makes for some nightmareish tangles! Using A2DP seems like freedom in comparison!
Highly recommended

Lol about the longish cord, gave up on wired headsets as the ammont of times i'd rip the cord when cycling, i'm using STAK semi enclosed cans made for 3 network they were cheap bout £30 and give loud playback with comfortability and like post above a2dp makes listening to music far more enjoyable skippin tracks in an instant answering calls in an instant...
BT is the deffenat way to go
Then cap it off with PocketPlayer....

I'm using Sennheiser CX300, not audiophile grade by any means but certainly better than bundled headphones or stuff like that, they're great.
I love impressing people on the bus by hiding the A2DP receiver in a pocket and then watching a movie or something on my phone, I've had a few people who were watching over my shoulder anyway ask me how I was listening to the sound! Hehe
Hi there --
I'm a recent convert to the GS3 (and Android in general) from an iPhone 4. About all the music I listen to in my car was from my iPhone, and I want to do the same with my GS3, however, the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack to the AUX in on my car's deck is absolutely awful. I have to turn the volume much higher than I ever did with my iPhone or iPod, and even then the sound quality is very poor -- there is very little punch/bass in the music.
I've been researching a possible "USB car dock cable" which would allow me to get line out audio (rather than through the regular headphone jack) through the USB port on the bottom of the phone, but it seems the only solution is to buy a dock or DIY the cable yourself, nobody seems to sell them (and I'm not really willing to DIY a cable).
Any ideas what I might be able to do to improve the audio quality? I absolutely love the phone, but this is a pretty big caveat for me.
Mine sounds great, do headphones sound ok? Maybe your aux port is effed up. If that's the case exchange it ASAP. Are you rooted? Custom rom? Stock?

Headphones sound fine from my GS3, and other devices (iPhone/iPod) sound great on the same AUX jack in my car.
I am rooted running the leaked Bell Jellybean Touchwiz ROM.
Be interested to see what replies there are to this. I have the exact same problem. I find the volume is way too quiet and if I turn up the audio on my stereo I get an awful hissing noise. I have no problems on my sensation XE, only GS3. Headphones work fine so I seriously doubt its the aux port on the phone.
I have found some info that might help as your rooted.....

I also found that first link, but it only works on the International version of the GS3, I have the AT&T i747.
I have a 07 lexus, with an older bluetooth profile that does not allow for streaming music. I found a belkin product, caraudio connect, that will create a streaming a2dp profile through my aux port. On my s3/att/ics (stock), everything worked great. I had a profile for my phone audio and another for my media audio, and could connect both at the same time. This was great as i did not have to switch to aux for phone calls.
However, i had issues with hiss, drops, static, engine noise, etc. I had used many ground loop isolators in the RCA/car audio world, but never one on a 3.5mm stereo (double pole) connection. After adding the inline isolator from my aux port to the belkin product, my engine noise disappeared! I also found that when i updated to JB (CM10/sapir), both bluetooth profiles could operate at the same time without any interference issues on each profile.
If you have any questions on my rig, let me know.

Sorry, im new so it doesn't let me post outside links.
belkin: Part # F4U037tt
Ground loop isolator: Check out amazon, PAC Ground loop isolator for 3.5 MM applications. should be about 10 bucks.

Interesting topic. I've had issues with other phones where the volume couldn't be turned all the way up, as that would cause distortion. Have you tried turning your volume down a couple notches? I use my phone plugged into my car stereo all the time with zero distortion.
Could be hardware problem?

I just got the galaxy s3. Moved over from iPhone land. But am disappointed with this issue.
When I use the aux in via headphone jack and charge at the same time I get a horrible whine cracking and popping noise. This is unusual to me as I never had this issue with any of my I phones (3g and 4). This seems like a glaring oversight on Samsung part.

Ok to start I hate the way Bluetooth headsets look sticking out of the side of someone's ear especially those with the damn blinking light on it. What makes it worse is when people walk around seemingly talking to themselves for all the world to hear. With that said, I don't want a headset for phone calls. I want one for music.
I'd prefer not a standard headphones unit with 2 ear buds, I only want one ear so that I can still perfectly hear what's going around me.
Do normal headsets that are designed for taking calls with work for playing music as well? I'm not terribly concerned with sound quality, I just want something discrete and functional. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be most helpful as I'm a bit lost on this one. Thanks!

I was looking for something similar about two months ago, and then I came across the Motorola Elite Sliver through a deal site for $50.
I use my all day while I'm at work or at client's sites. I can listen to iHeartRadio or music on my Nexus in one ear, and still listen to everything else using my other ear. A single charge will last you 4-5 hours, but it requires the case to charge. But the cool thing is the case has a battery which charges while it's plugged in, so if you're on the go and need to charge your Elite Sliver, just pop it into the case and it will charge - no need to plug it into an outlet.
Really happy with it and it lets me listen to the radio or music while still keeping an ear open for the world around me

Not in front of my computer to check the specs, but honestly, I think it sounds pretty good for being a one ear piece headset. Like I said, I use it all day to listen to the radio and music, and still have the ability to listen to the people and environment around me.

Not sure about using headsets for making calls for music - seems like the quality wouldn't be that good. If you just use the headphones with 2 ears buds you could still take one out and listen to music and make a call. Problem solved? :fingers-crossed:

Galaxy s3, wicked jb 5...i have an Audi TT with a Bose stereo. I replaced the cd changer aux in to a 3.5mm aux in module to play music directly from phone into stereo. For the most part it works fine...but on many songs, not all of the music comes through. So, for example, on songs with multi-layered guitar tracks, the lead is audible but the backing tracks are just GONE, or vice versa. I've tried every type of audio app, have replaced the aux in module and the problem remains. My stereo guy plugged his Note 2 in..and voila...you can hear all of the frequencies (and it sounded better in general). His gf's S3 seems to have the same issue. Do I need to ditch the S3?

Yeah, she's on stock.
Then hopefully someone steps in with some serious advice for you guy, I haven't a clue as to why the S III, and note II would be that different. I'm also not that much of a sound techy kinda guy.
I had a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO and I plugged my S3 into the jack - it worked beautifully!
Let me ask you something - does this only happen when you are playing your tunes on a separate player? (i.e. Player Pro) Have you tried firing up Slacker or Tune In Radio Pro and seeing how those sound with the plug in the car? Also, how do your tunes sound with your headphones plugged in?
If it were me working on this, the first thing I would try is checking the headphone jack. If that's working fine, the next thing I would do is play around with different players. There are tons of them in the Play Store, and many of them are free. I personally use Player Pro, and it hasn't let me down yet.
The S3 is a funny phone when it comes to sound. I've discovered that it won't let me use any bass enhancers (i.e. Beats Audio or Bass Booster) or EQ's on stock. When I try, the phone gives me a "not supported" message. (Yes, I am a world-class basshead) But if you're plugging it into your car stereo, you've already got the bass enhancers there. I would also check out better cords with gold-tipped male-male prongs (Radio Shack has one for about $15.00 and it was the best one I ever used) I would also check out the development section to see if one of our illustrious devs possibly made something to help the sound quality issue. As far as your tech's phone is concerned it more than likely has a somewhat different sound setup from an S3, which explains why his sounds awesome hooked up to your car.

I have to admit i don't even know how to change the EQ settings with the stock player apps.
I got a brand new pair of earbuds (Brainwavz Delta something) and plugged them into my HTC 10.. they work fine for a bit then if I move the phone just right (or sometimes do nothing) the music stops, there's no longer a headphone icon in the status bar, and I have to unplug and plug them back in.. any idea what this may be caused by?
My Xiaomi Piston 3s worked fine with it, they just died in one ear :/
Edit** the headphones work fine with my Nexus 7, so it's not an issue of compatibility... unless the fact that it's a 3-ring plug (which should be fine, so were the pistons)
Same issue with headphone jack
I was using a pair of Fischer Audio Consonance Pro IEM's on my M8 and now 10 and experiencing the same issues. Songs skipping all over the place, starting, pausing, the OK Google app starting up and saying it couldn't hear what I said, or picking up something from what I am listening to. It is maddening. I love this phone so far, but this issue will drive me crazy if I can't be easily fixed.
It's as if the jack/plug is coming loose, since it fails to recognize the headphones until I unplug it and replug. It's very annoying, and seems to happen only if I tip the phone just the right way :/ hope it's not a hardware defect...
I have a feeling this is because of the edges, if you look at the headphones Jack it isn't flush the edge goes in a little thus you don't get 100% covered 3.5m lead.
Does seem worse in some headphones though

Not really, the best way would be to get a very small 3.5m extension cable, one that isn't so sensitive,but you would only find out through trial and error. Or buy another set of headphones. For example my bose qc25 aren't to bad but a cheap sony set I have if I move abit they crackle.
Is the one bit of design htc messed up. If they would of moved it a few mm to the front and problem solved.
Surprised more people aren't moaning about it as one big points is the 24 bit audio.
Can we confirm that this is an issue across all HTC 10's and not just an unlucky few? I thought my phone might've been defected. 2 Beats headphones I have (got both as gifts) do not seem to work properly. But if I use other a plantronics headset I have, works just dandy. I'm afraid to buy any headphones not knowing which would or wouldn't work. This is not a good thing at all.
I have a Sol republic headphone with mic integrated and doesn't work properly on mine either. However, a friend of mine has a sol republic headphone too, and it works. I bought a panasonic tcm 125 and it works really well.. so IDK, I'm going to change the cable on my sol rep to see if that fix the problem.
Might be headphones with integrated control/mic which has the extra ring :/
Question: when does the issue happen for everyone else? Mine almost always acts up when I turn the screen off, maybe that has something to do with it
I can confirm this is NOT a wide spread issue, I even dropped my phone, not low enough to hang on the cord but enough movement to yank on it, I have messed with it, played around to see if I can make it have an issue, but no issue exists, its either an unlucky few or your headphones.
The only issue I have not related to this is my headphones I tested, the "Audio Technica ATH-M50" jack is too big to fit in the headphone jack while my phone has its case on (Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal), taking the case off solves it, just barely not big enough cut out on the case for that model of headphones, regardless they don't sound as good as my IEM's so F em! lol
Have you guys tried other headphones or AUX cords? I don't have this issue anywhere, not via Headphones, not at my work on are speaker system, and not in my car via AUX.
So the actual shape or design of the headphone jack it self is NOT flawed like I noticed some have speculated.
I've been using my m50x or bose qc20's. Both work fine with no issues.
Pretty sure it's headphones with integrated controls for Apple devices that don't work. My jbl reflects which I use for running (3 rings) don't work if pushed all the way in. But my bose sound true work just fine. And the bose just so happen to be made for samsung and android devices. If I had some apple earpods around I'd test it but I'm thinking it's just headphones with integrated controls exclusively for Apple that might have issues.

If I had some apple earpods around I'd test it but I'm thinking it's just headphones with integrated controls exclusively for Apple that might have issues.

Wish that were the case.. mine are specifically Android remote headphones :/
Experiencing similar issues with my Sennheiser Urbanite XL headphones. Seemingly random moments where the headphones seem to just disconnect with the slightest movement (or non-movement).

Hmmm you're right. My sisters htc 10 seemingly all headphones just do not to work. Might be a small batch issue. I'm thinking about exchanging out for another one because I have the yellow band issue on the bottom of the screen anyways. Really don't want to play the exchange game like I did with the nexus 6p especially since HTC doesn't have the same support Google does. Gonna exchange if I get a bad one twice I'm just returning this phone all together. Hate to see it go because this phone is gorgeous.

Ah I have the unlocked model and I modded it to use on Verizon. I had no problem replacing phones through verizon though. Switched out my s6 edge 4 times for free due to display and speaker issues. Of course you end up getting their certified like new device which may or may not bother you. But if it doesn't you can just go to a corporate store and show them some headphones won't work. Most likely they'll ship you one free of charge.

I'm not a huge fan of Verizon anyway.. parents are just too afraid to lose the coverage (T-Mobile is top of my list but they're not so convinced)
I accidentally whacked my headphone jack very lightly with the tip of my finger and now my headphones seem to randomly disconnect. It works fine with my aux cable, but with my headphones with a mic it seems this happens.
