MiniUSB (not extUSB) to 3.5mm adapter

Hi Guys,
I have ASUS p320 winMo phone. I am searching for a miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter for connecting normal earphones to the phone...
There are plenty available for HTC phones and i'm sure ASUS has similar mini USB interface as HTC but problem is HTC have extUSB which has slightly different shape than regular miniUSB...extUSB pin is curved one side only unlike miniUSB which is curved at both ends...so it can not fit my phone
Are there anywhere selling miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter, which ship internationally and preferably having form factor without wires like this

Regards,

the difference between miniUSB and extUSB is that ext carry analog audio
where miniUSB is just a digital serial interface as in most of it not being audio
plugging a 3.5mm headset or otherwise audio device into an miniUSB is like
trying to connect a mic to a fax

Actually asus port is extUSB(ie has 11pins) but its port shape is miniUSB...

After much searching, I couldn't find anything like this for my Asus P565/XDA Zest. I ended up with one of these:

If you don't mind the extra pocket space...

Ok guys, i managed to fit the HTC adapter which i've bought for my asus by filing the extUSB to minUSB
it now fits. When i plug in the adaptor connected with an earphone i do get the handsfree icon on my phone....but when I play i don't get any sound in my earphones..
I fear that some of things i tried with the adapter before filing it may have damaged it, so there's no sound now...
Do you guys think it would work if I should get a new adapter and file it again since I do get the earphone icon on my device when i connect it?

This one has some mixed reviews on it...

This is the same thing I get with that Motorola adapter. I assume that the adapter you have doens't have the correct number of pins either. I don't think you've damaged the socket at least

Found this on ebay. Not so mini but at least you can plug your own headphones into it.
EDIT: Or this is smaller and without the microphone, just not quite as small as the HTC adaptors.

I think the second adapter is a bit too long & unflexible. The first one though, considering I now use what is essentially an external MP3 player, looks promising and will no doubt provide better audio quality. I'll check that out, thanks!

[Q] Which wireless headphones should I get?

So as my title states, which wireless headphones should I buy? Keep in mind, my price range only goes up to £66. And also I would be really happy if it was in the UK!
Thanks.

I bought the Sony Ericsson MW-600 and love them. The dongle has a 3.5mm jack so you can use your own headphones easily.

I also use the Sony Ericsson MW-600 headset.
It came bundled with my former X10i.
Excellent bluetooth headset with built-in FM radio and good battery-life compared to its size.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Hiya,
Have a look in here. I have SoundWear SD10 and Im very happy with them. Good sound quality and the bass for its price. Very good connection and range as well. Calls quality is also good. I also had Moor (the thin ones) which were very good. Dont buy Plantronics or Jabra Sport, too expensive and they dont work as good as these above.

What they said!
I love my MW-600s, depending on what music player you use it sends track info to the OLED screen on the dongle (Works with stock player, not poweramp )
You can pair up to 3 devices to it, I have my PC, phone and Laptop paired up.
Sound quality is great but I had some driver issues with Windows but that was resolved.
It's my second pair after my first pair were stolen as soon as the police said
they couldn't do anything I ordered a new pair right away £30 I paid.
They also work great for a home audio set up, plug that into the AUX port on your stereo
and you can control your music from the phone without getting up.
9/10 I give them, they lose a point because the ear buds that came with them have started to get a minute crackle in the right driver.

How is battery life when using a bluetooth headset or earphones?

I use these ones
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-HS3...I998/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331676330&sr=8-1
Work perfect with all bt devices, good sound and radius. And you can use your own headphones as well. Also the clip is quite handy.
Havent noticed any great battery eating by bt so far. The battery doesnt make more than one day anyway but one day was no problem with normal usage und bt for 2 or 3 hours.

I really do appreciate all the suggestions and responses. But, what part of "headphones" did you guys not understand xD?
Still thanks a lot!

Wireless = bluetooth.
Headphones = Objects inserted into ears that produce noise.
Everyone seems fairly on-topic IMO.
My personal suggestion though, Plantronics Backbeat 903 or 903+. Wearing my pair as I type this. Beyond comfortable, durable, great battery life, good sound.

Very good headphone.
If you listen about 8 h/day, the battery should last for 2 days.

wow i can't belive the difference between 3.0 and 2.0 bluetooth, I;ve tryed yesterday and its incredible, so I'll recommend someone with bt 3.0

i got these for over a year.

There is a huge difference between "earphones" and "headphones" mate...

thanks for the suggestions..help me decide what to buy. will try one of these

Thanks to this thread I got some Sony Ericsson MW-600s. After a few days I'm really pleased with them, using my own phones. Has all the features I want - volume/skip/stop/call, easy to clip on anywhere and works flawlessly.

I got those a few days ago:
LG Tone (HBS-700)
What shall I say? Awsome!

I use Sennheiser MM100's, picked them up cheap (£60) when O2 were selling them off as end of stock.
Battery life is good, 7+ hours continual use, charge from USB (one of the rarer USB types too, replacement cables are a nuicance to get but not impossible and not expensive either). They can charge from PC/Laptop or a 5v adapter same as most phones use.
Not sure if you could get them as cheap elsewhere, I lucked out with O2, but worth hunting around for!

I actually ended up on settling on the Sony MDR-RF865RK
It gets me 25 hours of battery life, 100m distance and charging to full takes 3.5 hours .
It only set me back £65, so I'm not so fussed about it ;P

have u tried the 100m distance? as far as i know, bluetooth is best indoors, but even then for only 10m.

Well, I think the 100m distance is for people with backyards that they need to mow every week And luckily I do not have a backyard
But still the feature is pretty cool ^^ The only bad thing is that I don't know how to connect these headphones to my TV -.-

Anyone tried the HTC Car Stereoclip?

I was planning to buy a belkin BT to AUX adapter in my car + holder so I can enjoy GPS and music without wires, though I found by accident this HTC Car Stereoclip on the official HTC website.
I want to know i someone tried it and if it's reliable

+1
What I've read about it is that it sound is supposed to stream through it in very high quality
Would be interesting to know how practical it is.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I wonder where we can buy it now in Paris?

I'm planning to get one of these Belkin Gizmos and report back: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857

I was going to buy the same Belkin,but the cables and 12v charger are uglier than the ''nude'' stereoclip.
I received an answer from HTC support, the stereoclip should stream all audio from the One X,included videos
Instead of buying a 600$ Pioneer to have video clips and concerts in your car(and lose wheel controls) I will get the stereoclip + official stand.
The bad news is that HTC will not release them in Europe/Asia before June,even mid June

Still nobody?
I want to know if it's good in playing videos and streaming the sound over the car's speaker?

I'll be getting mine in the next week. I can test and let you know!

So the carclip works well. It honestly sounds just as good as a wired connection. Also, all media will play through the receiver, meaning anything that normally is controlled by "media volume" will play through the car stereo. However, when you receive a call, it will revert back to the phone's on earpiece. My phone is affected by the poor wifi/bluetooth connection issue so the range is fairly small ~1 foot. However, when I press down on the back of the phone the range improves to > 2 feet easily. Also, I can't get my phone to autopair, but that may be due to the weak connection.

I have had it for about 10 days now. It works very well. I have tried it with both my One X and my iPhone 4s. It will pair with up to 8 devices.The sound is awesome, just as good as a CD to my ears. It lasts about 5-6hrs on a charge. I have not had any problems with it cutting out. If you are interested in this....I would say "Buy it". I am VERY impressed with it! It works with video also.

Just curious, can the device be charged while being used at the same time?

What sort of prices are people paying? Full rrp of £50?

I paid a little less than that from here http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html
I heard that Sprint and AT&T stores here in the US will be selling them for even less than that. ~$50-60

Reviving the topic because we just got it in Lebanon!
Price: 120$
At this price I can buy both stereoclip and htc car holder in Europe!!!
So is it worth buying it after all?
Can you use GPS voice assisted app with it?
Also is it still better than the samsung HS3000?

no bro i don't have time, ill do this in the weekend
feutre haha better find something leathery and nice from a gift shop and glue it using uhu super gel (support leather and rubber)

Honestly get the hs3000, it sounds brilliant, no audio sync issues when watching videos
It works with phone calls, it also has a built in mic, had a few calls with it, I didn't ask how I sounded but they didn't complain at least
It has the play/pause, a phone button to either make calls, answer /hang up etc
Only cost me £30 as well, comes with some crappy head phones, I use the beats in ear ones I got with hox, sounds almost better than when plugged in
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The problem is that sammy Lebanon didn't bring it here!
So I must stick with HTC expensive solution...
Now I must choose between Stereoclip + stand = watching video clips,GPS...
Or add the factory Citroen USB Box which add USB plug to my car audio= control music with the wheel buttons + get mp3 tag on the car's screen.Though it will cost 350$.
The good thing of stereoclip is that I will be able to use it with most cars later and any BT device while the citroen usb box will only work with my actual car

Original post :
I know that the box will have one, but i need more to have around home and office. The official Google store have them for 9$ BUT THEY SHIP ALMOST by END OF NOV. now i was wondering if anyone knows of some third party extensions that are available on Amazon or so.. And if anyone knows what specs are we looking for in such converts so we search for the right ones..
Feedback after using it, the mic fails most of the timea (30th November)

It needs to have the DAC in the adapter. Don't know what that is called. Look for digital adapter?

although you should wait for it to come at the end of nov
there is some in amazon but mostly bad or untasted
the adapter it self-have a dac & amp so all the sound process handled by the adapter
so if you pick it a bad one it will sound bad
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...sprefix=usb+c+to+3,aps,359&crid=2C6833WQKUZDR

Yes, I'm waffling on this whole removing the headphone port thing. Now you have some choice in the DAC you get and can change it if you don't like it, opens the market for some that actually care about good sound to make a good DAC dongle. I'm on the lookout for something to pair with my triplefi.
Also now the headphone port comes out the bottom of the phone where it belongs.

I agree, Googles will be the first choice, but a month and a half after releasing the phone for it to be available, it doesn't make sense.. Hence looking for a solution during that time..

In general I'm disappointed in USBC. This was supposed to be great but all these options are damn confusing. The connector is capable of so much but there is no standard to search for capabilities and compatibility.

Exactly my point.. Lets see

In 2020
When you want a new adapter or headset or charger or any usbC accessories then you can just buy the first thing you see in Amazon
BUT now you can't do that most of the usbC accessories don't follow the standard and could damage your device
The only option is to go for oem or certified accessories by oem

Major headphone companies like Beats, V-Moda etc. that have those exchangeable 3.5mm wires make wires that both are male 3.5mm and usb-c.

Cause I still have a premium functioning headphones that has those exchangeable 3.5mm that I bought 2 years ago. Don't want to shell out another $200+ for a bluetooth version and ending up with 2 headphones. And this way you don't have to carry that small adapter

If I could get a 2.5mm to USB C adapter like the one pictured above that worked with the Pixel 2 XL that would be the best of both worlds. I did some searching but was unable to find any, links?

You will have one when your device shows up. Their is one included.

The image above was found at Walmart. After reading an article about not to buy cheap usb-c, I'm kinda of hesitant to pull the trigger and get this. That's why I was hoping that the major headphone companies would invest making it instead.

I'd love to see something like this that can connect directly to my headphones with whatever it needs inline to connect to the Pixel 2. That would essentially solve any problems with existing headphones and would still only have the one cable to the phone.
Guess I can't post links yet but was trying to link NewFantasia Replacement Audio Upgrade Cable for Sennheiser HD598 / HD558 / HD518 Headphones 1.2meters/4feet on Amazon.

HTC U11 and Essential Adapter both confirmed working.

i have 2 of them from my Moto Z Force and will try them tomorrow. if it works then THESE would work which are Prime and 2 for $8

USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the OnePlus adaptor from other than their website. They are out of stock and I see what looks to be cheap knockoffs online.
Thanks

I got a google one from best buy yesterday for 9.99 and it works great. Here and now my luck its on sale for 8.99

I'm a bit curious about the situation with the USB-C to 3.5mm. Do I need an adaptor with or without an DAC inside the adaptor, and what if there is an DAC inside or not?

Being a google product I am sure it does or if not better. I tested it and it sounded great in my car, I have an aftermarket system with Amps and a DSP and it sounded better than my OnePlus 6 and I am using VIPER4Android with it too. Well worth it.

Great thanks for the info, I'll probably just swing by and pick that up. Waiting on OnePlus to restock will probably be a while.

I'm a bit curious about the situation with the USB-C to 3.5mm. Do I need an adaptor with or without an DAC inside the adaptor, and what if there is an DAC inside or not?

There is no DAC inside the phone to output analog audio through the usb-c port. Any adapter you get will need to have one inside like the Google dongle does. If you are curious, check this out.
I personally don't think those little things sound that great and they can't drive sensitive IEMs or power hungry headphones very well from my experience, which is why I suggest products like the FIIO μBTR, BTR1 or 3, or Astell & Kern XB10, EarStudio ES100, so on and so forth. Of course the added expense is only worth it if you're driving good earphones, otherwise the Google dongle is just fine.

Well that would explain why some dongles work and some don't. Thanks for the link, very informative.

Went to Target and got the Google adapter, was even cheaper for $8.29. so far so good, thanks for the info guys.

this also works with OnePlus 7 Pro, sound quality was ok, but it does still charge ur phone. No fast charging

You can use either type of adapter. The Oneplus7 Pro does have an audio DAC inside it. I have tried both passive (just past through analog audio) and active (have a DAC built-in) and they both worked with the Pro 7. Some phones (Pixel for example) don't have the capability to pass analog audio out the USB-C jack.

Have you tried charging with a USB pd charger? Since the op7pro supports that at least.
Also wanted to add my old HTC 11 adapter works

Which passive adapter did you try this with to verify that?

The passive adapters were these ADTRIP ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NVDT57C/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The active adapter I tried was this Essential Products one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079GZFWQ9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_jOY3CbK6NJ8RC
For kicks, I tried them both on my Pixel XL (it has a headphone jack, but I thought I would try). Like the Pixel 2 and 3, it only supported an active adapter that has a DAC built-in. The passive ones didn't work with it.
It is nice Oneplus supports analog out the USB-C port as they are cheaper (the one linked above is only $8 for two of them and next day delivery for Prime members).

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that adtrip has a DAC in it.

Although it is possible, it seems unlikely based on two things. 1. The ADTRIP adapters did not work on my Pixel XL. The Essential adapter did and we know the Essential has a DAC in it. 2. The ADTRIP adapter Amazon page specifically says it does not work with Pixel phones. Pixel phones need an adapter with a DAC built in.
Edit: Scrolling down further in the ADTRIP Amazon page, they have a chart that shows the specifications for each ADTRIP product. These two-pack audio adapters are analog (passive).

Oneplus usb c to 3.5mm is a passive adapter, meaning it uses internal DAC and running audio over usb port as analogue. It works the same way as mini jack output. But what oneplus done is they put small relay that turns OTG automatically when you plug in. All other analogues required going to settings and turning OTG every time you want to listen over headphones. Bare in mind this option turns itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I bought this and it's working fine. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07MBWZZGL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

This works great for me, and you can charge while listining too.
