Have a look at these new ones:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2007/01/15/2_new_htc_headphone_adapters
HERE is the first adapter, ~16€ in Italy !! (..no comment)
9.95 on expansys.com HERE
I think the Brando adapters are better than the expansys ones, they look a bit more flexible.

Please let us know what you think of it!
Guys I have just recieved mine from brando this morning. And I have to say that I am not impressed at all! Within minutes of using it the shell of the mic fell off! I was on the train and didn't even realise untill I looked down in my hands and saw the bare connection exposed. No force at all was used it simply came off. On closer inspection it looks like it wasn't stuck together properly! Not a big problem as such. But I am still not happy with the build quality!!

Hmm interesting.
1.How long is the lead from the usb connector to the mic?
2.Have you had any feed back as to the voice quality of the mic?
3.Finally what 3.5mm headphones are using with it? (though any headphones I suspect would be an improvement over the supplied ones!! )
Sorry mate don't have a ruler at work to measure it at the moment. But at a guess i'd say probably about 45 - 50cm. But again I could be wrong as that was just an estimate! I'll check when I get home.
Haven't tested the mic on a call yet! Again will post back when I do.
I am using the Creative Labs EP-630 in ear earphones. Got to say the sound is excellent. Much better than the original ones you get with the phone. I hate using the originals they don't fit properly and they sound crap as well!
The only thing that was good about the original earphones was that the wire from the USB adaptor to the mic is quite thick. The wire on the Brando is thin, that was the first thing I noticed when I opened up the pack. It looks more delicate. And I found it impossible to attach the clip that they supply to the wire, the gap is too small and even the slightest attempt to clip it in causes marks on the wire and it feels like it will damage it.
Triple adapter
Does anyone have the first adapter with the 3 different sockets? I was just wondering if you use the 3.5mm headphone jack does the mic on the handset still work? If it does it'll be great for using in my car.
Thanks

It does NOT. The microphone is dead when the 3.5 jack is plugged in...
that just simply SUCKS!

I concur. I have the Brando product. I don't know why they even included the clip; it's impossible to attach to the wire. I tried, and the wire now has two glaring gashes in it that I've had to cover with electrical tape.
That being said, i use a set of Sony earbud earphones with it, and the sound quality is infinitely better than the original headset.
just received mine a few day ago. its just a 'not bad' thing. i'm using it with sony ericsson headset. the sounds is good enough to make me deaf.

Compared with my Universal, the headphone cord is thicker and more rubbery, but so far I've found the little plastic bag that the universal headphones came in to be the best place to put the tp2 headphones.
What solutions have other people found?

i stick them in my pocket. if you need further details let me know.
Ok, so what's your plan when it's summer there?
Belt pouch or bum bag.

I keep my crappy headphones in the box it came.....who needs it.... get a bluetooth head set...much better....and no crappy stupid wires....so 80's please.
I found a great solution to keeping my headphones; since the headphones that came with the TP2 are ...crap - uncomfortable in the ear, annoying cable, irritating PTT button - I've sent the 'new' headphones off with my old TyTN II and kept my original TyTN II headphones instead.

I'm confused. Do you not have pockets in the summertime over in Germany?
I have to agree with the bluetooth headphones idea. A cord is annoying and my bluetooth headphones just hang around my neck.

Revolutionary: are you using breast pocket in a shirt or jacket or at your hip in jeans or trousers? I've found trouser pockets to be better since they tend to be looser - what about you?

Never heard of FKK?
No seriously, the headphones are so thick and rubbery, I just can't imagine putting them in anything but a big coat pocket. And then only if I didn't use that pocket for anything else.
I've been looking around for quite a while for the right stereo headset. (for me) I wanted something with easy access. I could possibly wear or put in my shirt pocket. I found this Jabra BT3030 pretty cheap on eBay. (It may be a knock-off but works great) I think I got it for $26 including shipping Hong Kong to Largo, FL. It did take about 3 weeks to get it but it was well worth the wait.
I tried using the ball chain lanyard that came with it. I found it was a little cumbersome with the extra headset wire and such. I got a nice pair of Skullcandy earbuds. The cheap ones. $14 at CompUSA. Since they were cheap I didn't mind experimenting with them. When I first got the earbuds I was really disappointed. The sound was horrible. No bass, and really tinty. I found that you have give them a chance. They have to break-in. Now I get rich sound and deep ear-rattling bass.
Here is my mod...
I figured out how to pop the earbuds open.
I was able to carefully remove the Skullcandy cable splitter thingy. I actually slid it about an inch and a half from the plug.
I shortened the earphone cables to where they could wrap behind my neck and make it comfortably up to my ears.
I put a small piece of fuel tubing (left over from another hobby) so they crossed behind my neck.
I then soldered the cables back on to the earbuds, and superglued them back closed.
Now I have a comfortable necklace that I can wear around my neck, inside or outside my shirt collar. The dog tag like BT xmitter is small and lightweight so it hangs nicely, usually under my shirt. I can quickly grab an earbud and press answer button on the xmitter under my shirt to answer the phone. I can also listen to tunes while I wait for things to finish while I'm working on computers.
nice one dude! I also have this headset, thanks for the tip...
That's pretty awesome!
Thanks, Glad to help.

Really nice information these little things can make life very easy and comfortable but I prefer wireless connectivity something like Plantronics CS70 Wireless System,Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo,Plantronics CS50 Headset which is much simpler for me anyway thanks for the information.
I hate using the dongle with my wired earphones on my Tilt 2. Even though I mostly use a Motorola S9 BT headset, there are times when the wired earphones are the only option. I prefer the in-ear type sets with silicone cups. I've been looking all over for a set like that with a mini-USB connector so I wouldn't have to use the dongle, but they are nowhere to be found. There are a few sets, including the OEM ones from HTC, but they all have crappy earbuds. I found a set on eBay, but when I got them I was disappointed with the sound quality. They sucked. Decided that I would combine the plug from those with the rest from my nice set of 3.5mm plug earphones. If you've ever cut into the wires on these earphones you know how hard they are to work with. Not wires, actually, more like filaments. They have a cooating on them to prevent shorting so they can be put together without individual insulation. This makes them thinner and more bendable. Unfortunately, it makes them extremely hard to solder. After some considerable time spent figuring out which wire went where (color codes didn't match, one set had 5 wires, the other only 4) I managed to get it all together and now have a mini-USB in-ear silicone headset that sounds awesome and still allows access to the phone controls. No more dongle for me!
Oh yeah, and I can use the FM radio with them.

Yeah, and I ordered one last night. Still, there are situations where a corded headset is the only option (airplanes, some government buildings). Not having to use the clumsy OEM dongle is a joy.

heh, i once used my BT headset to listen to music on a plane (shh, dont tell the FAA )
Hey do you, are you able to do a how to, i did think/try, and as try i mean cut the mini usb cord from other headphones, and as u said there were so many difference wires.
Thanks
Not sure about a how-to. The wire colors are different depending on whose headphones you have and whose you sacrifice for the USB end. Soldering these filament wires is a real chore. The color coating is what insulates them from each other in the cord. I scraped the coloring off to expose a little of the copper so I could solder them then I used tiny shrink sleeve to reinsulate them. When all done I slid a larger piece of shrink sleeve over all of it. You'll need a meter to figure out which wire is which, but I can tell you which pins from the USB connector on the phone are which. That'll make it a little easier for you. Give me a day or 2 to make up a diagram.
found good usb dongle for headset

You can get them cheaper on eBay. I got 3 of them for $3 shipped. Amazon charges shipping so you're better off going with eBay. Also make sure you get a bunch of them. The quality of these adapters are pretty bad and they fall apart after a month or so. You get what you pay for.
I held off getting a car dock for my Captivate since i knew i was getting a new car (mounting would have been much different). now that things are settled with the SGS2, i finally got around to ordering my dock...
http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512255-18750.aspx
great options from ProClip USA, but since my car's cig lighter is behind my right arm (07 S2000) the only option i had was to get the hard wired one (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...cord-for-fixed-installation-513255-18750.aspx). when i get this installed and wired up, i'll post pics. i'm going to love the set up, now i'll just need to buy a new BT (A2DP) enabled HU so i can eliminate all visible wires from my cabin...
pics to follow
this car dock is amazing... i just installed it and hard-wired it into my cigarette lighter for power, and it works perfectly. the phone fits in nice and snug, yet pulls out easily (but not too easily that it would ever just fly out on its own).
does the dock accept the phone with a case on .. or is it a pretty snug fit?
buy the adjustable one. have had mine for my last 3 smartphones.

The adjustable one fits great with a thin skin on the GS2. I"m also on my third phone with the same cradle
If you have multiple vehicles, or phones also consider the proclip quick release system.

Do you keep the phone on it's side like that? Do you have issues during a turn? The website mentions issues with cell/gps signals with the phone horizontal. Do you see that? Are the 'arms' that hold the phone made of metal or plastic?
Same questions to the guy above who said he had the adjustable version. I was thinking, I'd like to do a micro-usb charging/AUX analog audio output cable (instructions are on this forum). I'd like to keep my case though. And this looks like the perfect solution. I might have to fab something up to put the phone on my dash above the stereo (for optimum viewing/GPS angle). Any thoughts on that idea? Thanks!

no problems with GPS while the phone is is landscape mode. no issues while turning either as the phone fits very snugly in there. the sides that hold the phone in are thick plastic and have "channels" for where the phone slides in.
I tried to place a headphone into the 3.5 mm headphone jack and it was loose and didn't register. It works fine for my Note 3 which also is 3.5 mm. A warranty replacement is on the way. Definitely check to see whether yours is fine or not.
My jack is definitely looser than the one on my Nexus 6, but they work fine. My headphones are a few years old and I plug and unplug about 5-10x each day, so I think they might be starting to wear down a little bit. Until it won't work or hold a plug, I won't worry about it too much on my particular unit.
yep mine is loose as well
It plugs in all right but moving the cable even slightly results in the headphones coming off.
Mine is an incredibly tight fit with my headphones. They're just cheapo generic skullcandy or something.
There's no wiggle, and I have to hold the phone and pull on the jack - otherwise I can even pick the phone up by holding the cord. I think it's tighter than my N6 anyway, but the N6 probably got a bit worn by now.

Seems pretty snug with my old iPhone ones
very tight with my beyerdynamic custom one pro and my audio technica ATH M50x

So everyone seems to have functional jacks except me.......Hopefully the replacement will be fine (odds are). I tried 2 different head phones both of which worked fine and fit tightly with my Note 3 but were loose and non-functional in my 6P.
Snug and functioning well.
Yup mine fits snug as well with all my headphones. Seems like you might have just gotten a defective model.
Super weird. I thought the headphone jack on my black 64 was actually real snug. Had to apply a little pressure to make sure it was fully in.
Just tested a ton of 3.5mm plugs I have, everything fit snug.

The ones I have are Sony.....not sure about my friend's headphones. Both were loose in my 6P and tight (appropriately tight) in my Note 3 and in his Note 3. My replacement 6P arrived this morning..... after I left, so hopefully all will be well when I check it this evening.
Eureka!

Finally got home and the headphones actually work with the replacement 6P. The headphone fits snugly with a nice click into place that my first 6P failed to do.
Mine is functional but not super tight, its not loose either. There almost no force required to remove my headphones (Bkse QC20's 2015 model) but my wife's 6P has a death grip on my headphones. Its odd but it doesn't bother me at all
I don't get that clicking noise when inserting the jack. The headphones will fall out with very little effort.

I JUST noticed this the other day. I have a pair of bluetooth buds that I have been using since I got the phone but just got a new pair of wired ones and wanted to try them out and the jack is slightly too large. Glad to hear your replacement was good, though. I hate having to reset up the phone and I'm concerned about getting a refurb replacement, of course, but I think I may have to do a replacement after the holidays.
