Hi, I'm looking for an affordable omnidirectional microphone for my 3,5 mm jack on my phone, which still allows me to plug in external speakers. Are there any splitter cables to allow pluggin both a microphone and headphones? Or is there such a microphone which passes the phone audio through them and allow plugging speakers into them.
Idelly it should be a stationary microphone as well. Does anyone know of such a contraption?

Hi,
Does anyone know which, if any of the XDA's are compatible with a standard wired Nokia handsfree headset with a 2.5mm 4 pole jack plug?
The reason?
I'm trying to use my XDA Orbit in a powered cradle on my motorcycle. This cradle has a 2.5mm 4 pole jack plug output which I have established is a standard Nokia fitting. If any of the XDA's had/have a Nokia compatible jack socket I can then order an adapter which allows connection of a headset and stereo output. I can then receive phone calls on the Orbit and listen to music/tomtom output!
Anyone out there any ideas ?

i used a standard nokia 2.5mm handsfree as basically a single earpiece when watching films so i know for definite that the audio part works, im not too sure about the mic.
just confirming the speaker works!
Nokia compatible
Thanks,
Thats a good starting point for me.

2.5 headset
I have an o2 XDA Atom Exec and got an o2 in-ear stereo headset with it.
That headset is now faulty, one side no longer works and i cant determine where the problem is.
Anyways, i want an in-ear headphones to use with the pda mainly to listen to audio rather than to make calls.
I tried connecting it with 3.5mm headphones with an adapter but with any movement of the adapter, the pda would automatically stop the audio and load dial the first number on the dialed list. Its very annoying.
I tried both the small stick type adapter and the wire adapter with the same result.
So now i'm after an in-ear stereo 2.5mm headset or a solution to stop it from going to the phone mode.
Any help ?
Thanks
is it work fine be4?
perhaps There is some short circuit in your headphone itself or maybe in jack port. trying use another headphone to identify the problem
oftenly headphone for mobile has 4 intersection in its jack. and common music headphone only have 3 intersection, I think use the 3 intersection jack should be fine
you can use the nokia 2.5mm headsets. they are like the OEM ones but they sound better. they both use the 3 ring jack, instead of the more standard 2 ring jack.
So I use an aux cable for audio in my car. I can make calls through the speakers this way. Sometimes though the Mic doesn't work and sometimes it does. Does anyone know if there is something that specially triggers the Mic to work?

Sounds like a loose cable connection. Normally those 3.5mm jacks have 3 or 4 sections on them to support stereo audio plus a mic. If your cable was plugged in and got yanked to the side, it might break some wires in the cable or bend the plug internally (phone or car). But I'm speculating here...got another cable you can try?
I would like to know if it is possible to use a 3.5mm jacket external mic, plug it in my DHD and use that mic as external audio input on my phone. If it is possible, do I need any specific hardware in order to do so?
Thank you for you attention.
Are you talking about a set of headphones with a mic attached..because it probably will work

You could get any mic to work with your phone, you just need the handsfree jack and connect the wires from your mic with the ones on the jack (of course the right ones). Basically you just need to change the jack of the mic
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?
