I'm interested in carrying around one pair of headphones for my PDA and laptop. I don't think any cable exists but I could probably make one up. I would need a 3.5 audio plug connected to a mini extUSB female socket - do they exist? The closest thing I can find is a extUSB 3-in-1 Adaptor:

but it's a bit big.

¿Do you know if the MiniUsb to headphone connector on the Herald is a standard??
I've been looking for an adapter and I've found some Motorola Headphones that connect through mini USB interfase, but don't know if it's goin' to work on my Herald.
¿Can anyone help me?
Thnx in advance
my razor (motorola) headphones do not work on my herald, however, you can check ebay for a usb to headphone converter for the wing or herald, i have one and it works fine.
this might be a big bump, but this is why it wont work.
HTC devices use something called extUSB, which, evidently, is miniusb but better i guess. You will want to ebay search for that,
on ebay.. search term "wing" choose cellphone accessories>> headsets-corded>> u will get some... most are 1.99 with 4.99 shipping (us dollars)

daydeal.com -= thye got some good stuff on there lol
This one works well for me:

I plug it into the usb audio/power adapter that came with my Wing, then plug the car power adapter into the adapter, and a Belkin 3.5 to stereo RCA cord into my Pioneer receiver... Charge my Wing as I drive while MortPlayer entertains me
Slightly old thread, but I figure it's worth clarifying this a little.
The Harold and Wing's connector has extra pins which provide analog input and output from the headset. I don't believe it uses any of the USB side's pins.
The adapter above will work for conventional headphones. I don't know of any adapters for MOT's miniUSB connector headsets (I highly doubt you'll ever see one) or even a full 2.5mm headset (although that shouldn't be hard to fabricate).
Hi all,
I have bought an headset adapter from ebay marked as TyTN compatible, however when connected to my Hermes I can hear the sound only on the left speaker; is the mini-USB port different from the TyTN one or is the adapter faulty?
Many thanks!
Mike
here is the link to the adapter:

Thanks
all newer htc devices have the same connector
it's not miniUSB it's EXTUSB which is pretty much
miniUSB and with audio connectors on the other side
so unless that place sell mono audio connectors only
it's defect or you havet pushed the connector all the way in
Thanks Rudegar for your explanation!
Yes I have pushed the connector properly in....I have tried few times and also with using different headsets...
I will ask for a replacement then.
Thank you again, have a nice day.
Mike
It most probably isn't connecting the pins right, yet mini usb works for Ativesync and charging.
Does anyone have any experience with a MHL adapter that will charge your phone and also provide analog audio? I would like to make my own car dock with one.
The "iKross MHL micro-USB to VGA Display and Stereo Audio Adapter" on amazon is pretty much what I need, but am unsure if it will work with the EVO LTE.
It's really unfortunate Sprint/HTC opted to get rid of the charging/audio pins on the back of the ONE X when designing the EVO.
you can still use the 3.5mm headphone jack as an audio out even with the MHL streaming out via HDMI. It tried it with my headset and my monitor. Works great

I've been looking for a similar solution. I'd wager that the adapter you mentioned is compatible. MHL is a standard and I'd very be surprised if the GNexus (as listed on the product page) worked, but the EvoLTE didn't.
I have an aux jack and charging port in my glove box, and for years I've just been using both USB and audio cables which dangle out of the box. I don't think I need a car dock (my car already has GPS), but just having one less cable (like those old iPod car adapters which split out analog audio) will be quite nice.
If you're nervous about buying it, I expect I'll pull the trigger on this in the next week or so, and I can report back.
I'd like to find a black or gray version, though. White cables are garish.
Exactly. I never bother with my phone because of all the wires being a hassle. Just looking for a more elegant/convenient solution I can just set my phone in. Might try to hack the MHL adapter and HTC car dock together, though I wish the car dock wasn't so unnecessarily bulky.
Just picked up the belkin Bluetooth today and hooked it to RCA inputs. Got an app that connects Bluetooth when the power cable is connected and turns it of when its not.works great So far. So now I'm down to just power cable .

Or a generic micro-usb to 3.5mm adapter with a micro-usb Y?

has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested in its compatibility with the car dock as well as how the quality is. With the car dock and the headphone jack I'm getting lots of feedback and static.
I've order the iKross MHL adapter and the parts necessary to assemble the custom cable. I will report back if the iKross adapter works. If it does work, I may not assemble the custom cable. If the iKross adapter does not work, I will assemble the custom cable and post results.
The iKross MHL adapter came in today, and it does work on the Evo 4G LTE. However, the sound is so terrible that I cannot recommend it to anyone for this application, and I will be sending the adapter back. It seems to only pass low frequencies to the 3.5mm jack, so much of the audio signal is lost. The audio is very low quality compared to the built-in 3.5mm jack. I will be trying the custom cable now, once I get all of the parts I need.
Is there anyway to output audio through the usb port and into a set of ear buds? Like a micro usb to headphone jack adapter? I hate having the audio jack on top and would love to use the bottom usb port instead.
Bump
I dont know of a actual stand alone adapter for this, but, if you get a samsung car dock, infuse dock for example, the bottom piece should route the audio.
That piece of the dock plugs into the usb port and that piece has both 3.5mm aux and the usb so you still can charge. I havent tried, but a usb extension cable should allow it to still work without having to plug the bulky adapter directly into the phone.
Thats the only option ive found so far.
I would like to see this more often...Apple has so many great docks where you can charge your device while outputting audio. I wish Android had more support for this.
I've read that some of the usb type C to 3.5 jack adapter are working now with a proper DAC, but I can't find a splitter that works for our HTC's or even for Pixel 2. People mention dongles made by certain companies, but I head to their websites and there's nothing available...
Can anyone help me find a viable splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time? I'm getting desperate, to be honest...
Thanks!
I have also tried several usb type c hubs but could not find one that works with htc headphones unfortunately.
I ended up buying an Bluetooth receiver to plug my headphones into when I need to charge too.
Not ideal but it works for me

Hey, that doesn't sound bad to me. I've never tried anything like that, though. Could you send me a link to your receiver or tell me any reference to start searching? Thanks in advance!

Look for a Bluetooth Receiver that supports wired headphones, i.e. it has a 3.5mm audio out socket.

Checking that out as we speak. Thanks mate!
Hi guys,
still trying to figure this out. I hope you can help me with this idea. All I want is charge and use headphones at the same time :
If I plug this hub (or similar one) to my U Ultra's usb port https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32846535696.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32846535696&productSubject=USB-C-Hub-USB-C-HDMI-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Macbook-Pro-Thunderbolt-3-Type-C-Hub
And then use this adapter (with DAC integrated) into the usb c of the hub: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32832480232.html.
Will it work? Or the DAC needs to be placed exactly in the usb out of the phone? I'd really appreciate the help.
For these hubs to provide charging you need to connect the charger in the type c port of the hub which is marked with the lightning sign. To connect the 3.5 mm adapter you will need another adapter from usb type a male to type c female. Such adapters exsist but when i tried to connect the htc type c headphones via the hub and such adapter they were simply not detected by the phone so i doubt that the 3.5mm adapter will also work in such configuration.

If I decided to go for Bluetooth earphones... Any will do, am I right? No DAC thing to be worried about, I guess...

That's it, exactly. Take any BT headset you like and can afford, they have the DAC already built in.
