Hello,
From the searches I have done on here and other forums to include cell phone stores, I can't seem to find any information pertaining to USB headphones. Basically my question is: Are there any reasonably priced headphones that directly plug into the usb port (without any adapters or mini jacks as the plug)?
Thanks.
HTC headphones

For 15 bucks you get something from HTC that's workable until you find what you really want. Decent music quality. No adaptor needed.
It is funny you post this. I was just searching for some today and I purchased these.
If you search OEM Heaphones Fuze on eBay, you can find some for $10 shipped.
i have a sprint TP and DL the fuse FM radio app and it says that the phone uses the headphones as an antenna. mine does not work, you think with the fuse headphone it would??
USB Headphones - Not all work?
Are there different types of mini-USB headphones?
I just purchased a pair of Motorola "Stereo Headset with Enhanced Mini USB Connector" headphones that do not work when plugged into my fuze.
However, I went and found the old headphones from my Dash and plugged it in and it works.
Both have the phone/music switch.
Why would one work and other not? The shape of the of the jack on the old set just a little different that the Motorola's which look like a fat little "t" and is the same shape as all the connector wires and charging wires I am using. The shape of the jack on the old ones, however, does match the shape of the fuze jack.
Sorry if this is an obvious questions, but what am I missing? What do I need to look for when purchasing earphone/headset?
I have answered my own question. HTC is using a proprietary form of USB...extUSB. It combines audio and data, so you can use regular mini-USB for everything except audio. This bugs me. why do you take something that is supposed to be "universal" then make it proprietary. So now I gotta look for and buy special headphones.
bluetooth headset
I personally use the bt3030 bluetooth headset from jabra. Full stereo use any regular headphones you like. I use the stock ear buds works fine. These work for phone calls sprint nav as well as full stereo from mp3's basically any audio can be funnelled into these. cost around 80 bucks.

You can get the 3030's from newegg for 40 shipped in bulk packaging. Work great and no need to plug them into the phone since they are bluetooth. Give you the ability to answer phone, have remote, and listen to music. I love them. Got some skull candy headphones for 10 bucks from marshalls to replace the stock headphones they came with. Check them out
Headphones
Anyone found any USB headphones that have equal cord length on both sides? I really hate the uneven setup..always seems to pull one or the other out...... Thanks !!
Folks,
does anyone know a cradle or docking station with built-in speaker that can be used with the Touch HD?
I really like my Touch HD, but I'm green with envy any time I see the plenty and great audio accessories for the iPhone. Things could be so easy - plug the device in and enjoy your music. But alas, the market for audio accessories seems to have waned since the times of the older devices (1, 2 etc.).
I've seen some all-round portable speakers, but most of them are crappy both in build and audio quality. What I'm looking for is a proper speaker system to enjoy music in the living room or kitchen, ideally tailor-made for the HD. Hardware audio controls would be ideal, but with the simple 3.5mm plug, that is not to be ...
Ideas, anyone?
Ta,

i've also searched for something like that... and i coulden't find anything...
at the end i got the following bluetooth speaker
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mbs-100?lc=en&cc=gb
and i can say i'm loving it...the sound is great for such a small speaker and it can go for about 8 hours without being charged...
my only wish now is that a buy a never model that features 2 speakers
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/mbs-400?lc=en&cc=gb#a
hope it help..
if you find some docking-speaker system for the HD, please post it...
qtype,
thanks for the suggestions!
It's some consolation that I'm not the only one missing an accessory like that. I'm specifically looking for a docking station/cradle with speaker because I'd like to use it on my nightstand - alarm clock, music player and charger all-in-one. So no luck yet ...
As for bluetooth speakers, I've used the good old Saitek A-250 and recently the Parrot Party, and the sound is quite okay with both - possibly even a bit better with the Saitek, but that's not so portable and robust. So the Saitek is good for the kitchen or the bedroom, while you can take the Parrot with you. With a bit more bulk than your SE.
Anyway - maybe something will come up.
Cheers,
N.
I was searching for cradle to chg phone & extra battery, found 1 on ebay, but I did run across what your looking for. don't remember where but it was there. Quig

I'm still rockin my old pair of USB headphones that came with my wifes Mogul. Do you guys of any other options out there for USB headphones.
Yes, I know that there is a 3.5mm dongle which I already have, but I am not asking about that.
How about Bluetooth. No wires, ya know.
No FM radio without a wired set either. Thanks though. Again, I'm asking for wired mini-usb headset options out there.
i have the in-ear buds, got em from ebay for 8 bucks, they arent bad, but not the best quality either. a lot better than the oem ones in my opinion
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160377974288&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
or you can try these, planatronics is a good brand

Yeah, sorry about that one. I found it out the hard way. Didn't know you had to have wired for FM. Oh well. New device, still learning.
One option is to get the cheapy ones off eBay for the wiring and then dismantle the ear phones. You can then attach a nicer set of phones that will give better quality. Here's a link, http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-replace-the-iphone-headset-s-earphones-238810/. I have done this before with good success.

That's what I'm looking for as well. I have my USB headset from my Kaiser, however, it will NOT work with the FM radio. Apparently there's some wiring required in the headset to utilize it as an antennae that my old headset just simply does not have.
I'm hoping someone to point me in the direction of a USB headset that they own that DOES work with FM radio. I really don't want to have to keep buying them in hopes that they work. LOL! If they're in the ear (as in extended, not those shallow type that sits just over the ear canal -- those keep falling out of my ears) earbuds, that'd be a HUGE plus!
Thanks, peeps!

I have these http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-stereo-headset/11A29A1450.htm and they work fine w/ FM radio and everything else. You can find them on
ebay for cheaper. Here is another one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/h2ern11p-bkg.htm
Those Seidio ones look like just what I've been looking for, although I'm not all that fussy about whether they retract or not. Unfortunately, they're much more expensive than I'm willing to pay right now, so if any one knows of a set that looks like those *and* works with FM radio, point this sister in the right direction, please!
Thanks so much for the information, mykwalkr!!!

htc cord/panasonic headphones
i use the htc headphones adapter made for the google phones that I bought at the tmobile store. they have a microphone built in. then I got a really nice pair of Panasonc headphones (thx7 in red) that have a really great sound. I roled the cord up and attached the adapter and now I have the best headset headphone system ever! the voice quality is incredible and the music is exquisite.
this cord is only $10 bucks and the headphones were $35 including shipping. radio works. Pandora even sounds good.
Just a nitpick - please stop calling them USB headsets. Call them ExtUSB headsets, as there is a MASSIVE difference.
HTC's ExtUSB connector is a superset of the mini-USB connector that adds standard analog audio lines. There is no such thing as a "USB headset" for HTC WM devices, as none of them support USB host mode.

Got any pics of the adapter that you could post... Is it bulky?
I know its a long shot, but is there one...or one that works well with the vega? Due to it being released in a few different countries I was wondering if there was enough demand...anybody bought some they can post up?
I know the iphone and ipad will have lost of docks etc...it doesnt even need to be official...just one that works well.
their is an official dock for it at pc world http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/advent-docking-station-for-vega-tablet-black-09600795-pdt.html
not speakers tho. hope it helps!
Looks good, just need to try find it now! The audio port at the back would make it easier to keep the cables hidden.
Thanks for the advice, can you suggest any speakers? Does the magnets in the speakers affect lcd the same way as crt?
any know if you can buy online the official dock?
magnets shouldn't effect it and that realy depends on your needs but any with a 3.5mm input will work
Speakers do not affect LCDs, only CRTs
The 3.5mm plug will work with any PC speaker and a plug-to-RCA cable will let you connect it to bigger stereo systems.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
A belkin bluetooth receiver works perfectly for me... wireless music streaming to my home cinema
I have searched without any luck for a stereo dock that doesnt use the headphone jack. I have a logitech for my old iphone that u just set the phone in it and use the remote. Has anyone come across one for the galaxy s2 yet?
I believe there's one made by Philips which is available at Best Buy.

thanks,
I found this one too AS851 (Cant link yet). Comes with a remote and is 30 watts. They say you cant stream music thru the micro usb, but then how does the unit send audio and video to a HDMI cable, so I would think its possible. shrug

All of those docks use Bluetooth to stream the audio. From what I know the USB port on the bottom doesn't have the ability to natively send audio out of the pins. I would love to have a simple dock too for this phone that would let audio out without having to jack in on the top of the phone, but it's just not designed that way.
I used to have an ATT "Fuze" (touch pro) - used to have to carry a dongle everywhere with me to plug in headphones. I'm much happier that I don't need a dongle, but it does suck to have to plug in 2 things in the car to get audio and charge at the same time.
