Hi,
After trying about half a dozen mono and stereo bluetooth headsets each with their pluses and minuses, I've decided to stick with a wired set.
Does anyone know if there's a solution available like the boxwave dual adapter that allows handsfree use as well as your own 3.5mm stereo headphones? Boxwave doesn't currently support the 8125 though I've put in a request.

I've seen the adapter from PocketPCtechs (from another thread here) but that's geared more towards auto use.
Barring a Boxwave like adapter kit, are there any replacement wired headsets that someone could recommend?

I got adapters on eBay that worked fine, with microphone and volume control, much cheaper than the one on www.seidioonline.com.
I also highly recommend the Shure i2c-T headset that is recommended for the Treo - works great with Wizards - awesome sound (in-ear plugs with dual speakers in each ear), very sturdy - can use Voice Command but do have to press button on the Wizard to activate.

So here's my problem:
I want to actively listen to music with my PDA. Here are the three main choices:
1) Just use the standart handsfree
2) Use a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm adapter
3) 3rd party handsfree/headset
I don't want to go with 1) because the earplugs don't fit well in my ears and the sound quality is not very high (especially the low frequencies).
2) seems like a nice option but neither of my 2 adapters I bought works - there jacks simply don't fit well in the hole and the sound keeps interrupting.
I looked for 3rd party handsfree/headsets and I found 2 the better of which seemed to be the BoxWave Dual Handsfree Stereo Headset. It seems nice. Has anyone tried it? Is it good, is the sound quality decent? Do the earplugs fit well?
Thanks!
A long time ago I used to have a Nokia phone and bought a "Car Kit" which consisted of a new battery cover with belt clip, a car mount, and the speakephone base which even though it plugged into the cigarette lighter it still had a mic wire which I had to router behind the dashboard, up around the window and out just above the rear view mirror. The quality of this thing was amazing, I could hear people loud and clear and they could hear me perfectly over the loud noise that I get when driving my pathfinder.. Background noise is the biggest complaint I get from people I talk to when using wired headsets or bluetooth earpieces. I'm wondering if anyone can reccomend a good Bluetooth speakerphone device that I can use in my car? I prefer the portable type but professional kits are fine too. I don't mind spending extra on it if it's going to work and work well. I tried that Motorla visor clip speakerphone and it was awful.
I've seen some devices from Parrot, Anycom, and Jabra.. Does anyoe here have any experience with their speakerphone products? Are they any good?

I've had good results with the Sony MEX-BT5000 headunit and my Wizard. In addition to speakerphone, it also supports A2DP. Sony just announced the next generation unit (MEX-BT2500) which should also perform well.

Thanks for the info. Actually, I'm looking for something that's standalone or integrates with an existing car stereo, I'm not looking to replace my headunit as I've already invested and installed one with a DVD player/GPS Navigation system built in. Thanks anyway though!

Sony HCB-100 visor clip unit is great, not sure about integrating with your stereo though. I have steering controls so its easy to mute the stereo when a call comes through
Are there any sinle earphone headset like those for NOKIA, MOTOROLA, ETc.?
Does HTC or any other company make them. I would love to have one with integrated microphone and single earbud. It frees up my other ear while doing other work.
Can go with Bluetooth, there are many options.
or you can buy the adapter on ebay (or elsewhere) that allows you to plug in a 1/8" standard item. Posted many times, here's one from this forum: Linkage
Or you could just not use one of the earpieces on the included stereo set and have it dangling down your neck.
BTW, I'm not fond of the bluetooth 'look', but, I'm happy with the performance of my plantronics 510. I think it was $3x on sale at amazon at the time.
Hi,
I want to share a recent ear bud purchase on Ebay. I use my Bose Quite Comfort headphones for air travel but have been using them by placing them over my ear buds so I could watch movies or listen to music on my Wizard. I recently purchase a set of ear buds from an Ebay seller, bpdqus. It is a two piece unit so you can toss the ear buds and just use the adapter for your 3.5 headphones. No, microphone but you will hear stereo unlike other units that only give you left or right I've tried a lot of adapters and this one works great.
Hope that helps someone out there. Mike.
I bought a 2.5 to 3.5 converter for $1-odd and can pretty much use whatever handsfree or a set of earphones I might desire. Although I prefer to use bluetooth and send my music over.
Did your ATT Titan come with a wired headset?
All my previous phones came with one.
Samsung Focus headset 3.5mm plug doesn't seem to seat fully into 3.5mm jack.
Am I missing something?
The AT&T Titan does not come with a wired headset.
AT&T has been pretty cheap lately.

I missed it too. My Focus plug is probably seating fully, just doesn't appear to because of the way the notch is cut out. The Focus headset is working fine for me. My biggest beef is that the volume doesn't go down LOW enough. I'm all for a louder speaker, but whether using the speaker or the headphones, 1/30 is still too loud for me at times!!!
Seriously? ATT left out the headset to save money? The headset I received with my EU version looks and feels really cheap and could not have cost more than $5-10..

Then, why do you still want it? I'd rather buy a high quality one that I like.
