I'd like to connect the headset that came with my Wizard to my laptop so I can listen to streaming audio. Beats carrying two sets of headphones around with me. I cannot find such an adapter.
Does anyone know of a source for a four-conductor 2.5mm jack (female)? If I had one, I could make my own adapter.
You can listen to streaming audio on your Wizard. Works fine via wifi on mine, but if you're connecting to a wired network you'll need the adapter.
Anyway, you may not need a 4-conductor female jack to adapt to your notebook. The adapters I'm using to go from the phone to some Shure earbuds with a conventional 3.5mm 3-conductor jack is a 3-conductor male jack going into the Wizard's 4-conductor female. It works fine, but I'm not sure why. The crux is that you may be able to use a 3-conductor male to fit into your 2.5mm 4-conductor earbuds. Keep in mind I was moving in the opposite direction, adapting 3.5mm headphones to the 2.5mm Wizard jack.
Not all work, however, as I went to Radio Shack and tried some 3.5-to-2.5mm adapters and they didn't work (one channel only). Thus, since you may not find any adapters that specify they'll work with a Wizard, you may need to use the trial-and-error technique. The problem is that there are several standards for the 4-conductor jacks, and what works with one may not work with another. I bought adapters that specified they worked with this phone. You might do an Ebay search on the seller "Manyui" and email him about what you're trying to do. He sells all types of adapters on Ebay.

I found the connector you were looking for (cause I too want to do the same thing) - 2.5 mm 4 pole female jack

I also found a headset pinout (for nokia) and could you let me know if the connections are same for the xda headset jack?

Adio adapter
Try these guys.

I use the adapter with the mic in my 01 MDX. Have it going to an old Sony Walkman Cassette adapter. It works awesome for Audio through the stereo as well as hands free. No feed back and people have no issues hearing me. Can turn the audio up on the stere as loud as i can stand it.
Not the solution that we're looking for
Hey anothersmith,
I want to use the Wizard headset on the laptop, not the other way round as its easier to have the connector conected to the laptop than carry it around with the headset. Moreover, the headset that came with the Wizard is cool so I want to keep using it!
Thanks for the help!
China rocks
Hi,
Im sorry, but paying £3.04 for a plug is just a little to much for me.
You might want to consider this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Oasis-music-ada...7686197QQihZ016QQcategoryZ15040QQcmdZViewItem
Oasis music adaptor, www.shope2.com.
Im using one of this on my car, i plug this on my cingular 8125, and i have a Jack 3.5mm stereo, in which i plug my cassette adaptor and listen music in my stereo.
It also has a button for picking up calls when they arrive, and a mic built in which works really fine.
Or if you really want the plug, cut the cable, use a multimeter and you are all set.
I wonder why no one seems to get the point!
Thanks China Rocks, but you too are getting it wrong! I DO NOT want to use my xda to play music on my stereo. I want to connect my xda earphones (that have a 2.5 mm male jack) to the headphone + mic sockets of my laptop so that I can use it to listen to music or talk on the laptop.
xda earphone (headset/headphone) 2.5 mm male jack ---> Laptop audio + mic out connector 3.5 mm female jack
Will somebody get the point!
Need 2.5mm 4 conductor female socket
Reading this thread is painful. I too am looking for a 4 conductor 2.5mm female socket so that I can make an adapter to plug some Shure I4C-T's into the headphone and microphone 3.5mm sockets on my laptop. The source in the UK charges a lot of shipping to the US. Anyone know of a US supplier of 2.5mm female sockets?
Radioshack USA finally has it!

Wrong again!
Hi xoom!
That's not what we are looking for! What your adaptor does is connect a stereo headphone with a 3.5 mm male jack to my xda that has a 2.5 mm female jack.
What I am looking for is an adaptor that will connect my "xda headset with mic" (forget about the xda, it's not in the equation here) that has a "2.5 mm female jack" to my "laptop" that has a "3.5 mm female jack" (Female to Female adaptor).
Illustrating this fact:
"XDA HEADSET with MIC" (Female 2.5 mm jack) <--> "LAPTOP AUDIO & MIC OUT" (Female 3.5 mm jacks)
Thanks for your attention!
This?

I used one of those Rat Shack adapters with my wizard and had no problems at all. If you're only getting one channel then it sounds like it is either not far enough in or too far in (i'm guessing the former though). That or you didn't purchase the correct adapter. The only time I had a problem with only getting one channel was when I purchased a mono adapter by mistake. I've also got some other adapters that I have purchased locally for < $5 that work fine. They're not especially pretty but I haven't had problems with any of them. I would be more than happy to purchase one for somebody and send it to them for the price of the adapter and shipping. I can even ship it overnight for around $6.
I will try to make it to the same supplier and see if they don't have the 2.5mm jack or adapter that you're looking for. I'm thinking that they do, though.
Gotcha!
Hey Poiygon,
Thats the thing! Thanks!
Cheers!
2.5mm 4 pole parts
FYI I found 2.5mm 4pole connectors and jacks at "mouser.com". see p/n's 171-7425 or 161-6425-EX which should get you to the area of related parts. I'm using thes for my Siemens SX66 to a motorcycle head set and mic. Hope this helps anyone.
sincerely,

Pocketpctechs.com has what you need
I ordered a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor for my 8125 and they sent me a mini Usb to 3.5mm headphone jack. Upon plugging it in with headphones, it doesn't work and the audio comes out of the 8125's speakers. Is there any way to make this work or should I demand they send me the correct product? Thanks in advance.
Interesting username :wink:
What time was it when you placed your order.
Did you really think that the phone would route audio through mini usb.
Send it back and get the correct minijack adaptor.
Thanks for the reply. :wink:
They're already sending me the right one, and they said that I can keep the other one. (Not really helpful since I already had and broke a Razr) I've been wanting to use my Wizard in the car with an fm transmitter because my cd player is awful so I wasn't sure if there was any way to use the Razr adaptor in the meantime. I didn't think so, but it was worth at least posting about it.

Where did you order the 2.5 - 3.5mm adapter from? Is it a special adapter...or could I get one from Radio shack? The reason i ask is that my MPX200 needed a special adapter, the radio shack unit didn't work. Thanks!

RadioShack sells them.

I'm actually going to go to radioshack myself. I finally received the "correct" item that I ordered on eBay, and the sound only comes out of the left earphone unless my headphones are half unplugged.

I ordered one and it works correctly. You might get one at radio shack, if the pinouts on the rings are correct, which they probably are not. That is why you had to have it "halfway unplugged."

I do believe the one I bought from RadioShack works fine.
Geoffrey
A buddy gave me one that he used on his Treo, it's "L" shapped and works nicely. I think I'm gonna get the one from Pocket PC Techs that has the built in Mic and answer button...then my half ass hands free will be complete. I'm connecting an old Sony Discman tape player adapter to my 8125...actually sounds ok but I hate all the wires. A FM Bluetooth adapter would be nice.

you need to inform the seller for a replacement
USB to 3.5mm adaptor works ONLY with moto phones
I bought an adapter (L-shaped) with earbuds packed together for Ipaqs at Comp USA today for 14.95. I already have the one from Radio Shack but it's a straight adaptor and pretty big (I thought) for what it is. I lke the L-shaped much better.
can you put a picture up of what u got
Has anyone used a 2.5mm handsfree FM for the Wizard? Trying to look for one, but they all seem to be for other phones rather than the Wizard. Thanks.
Adapter
Are you refering to the little port for the headset/heaphones? If so I was able to find an adapter 2.5mm to standard 3.5mm to listen to any standard headphone set. I found it on ebay for like $2.00 + shipping. I hope I was able to help.
Can anyone recommend a site that sells a Mini-USB to 3.5mm Adapter for my Wizard and ships internationally? I usually buy these types of accessories at Brando, but some reason I cant find it on their site.
Thanks
No such thing -- the Wizard has a 2.5 mm 4-conductor jack for headset/microphone. The Wizard's USB connector is just for charge/sync; no audio signals available.

i got a 2.5 to 3.5 at radio shack for 3 bucks

Hi.. i have seen several threads on 2.5mm 4point to 3.5 stereo adapters but i could not find any threads on 2.5mm 4 point to 3.5mm 4 point, therefore posting this thread...
i have just purchased a V-moda vibe earphones... great sound quality for my mp3 player and laptop... it comes with a 3.5mm 4 point jack with internal microphone.. it is originally designed to use with iphones but i was thinking, since it is a 4 point conductor jack.. i could use it with MDA only if i can find an adapter..
does anyone know if this kind of adapter exist? i found one on a UK site.. but too expensive to ship it over here...
so i'm looking for 2.5mm 4 point jack to 3.5mm 4 point jack.. please help!
Jackq
Yes I got mine at Radio Shack. Works great. I use it for my car.
