It's a long shot, but anyone have any idea whether or not the NP would support USB-to-digital audio out? I want to connect my NP directly to my soundbar via digital optical so that I don't have to keep my TV on (because of HDMI) to stream music for hours. I found this for about $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCM2704-USB-DAC-Power-Sound-Card-Decoding-Deck-/291547997444

You will just have to try it. Have never used one of those but can confirm that the cheap USB to 3.5mm audio works fine. I needed it for the same reason, for my sound bar.
I suggest this one...

Yeah, I found that one after making the thread. Currently listed for less than $30, too.
Personally, it's more than I want to spend and I don't like that it requires a separate power supply, but it's probably a more robust solution. There are knockoffs on eBay (possibly of inferior quality) for about $17: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1080P-HDMI-...ractor-Converter-Audio-Splitter-/271802547143

No need to be! Got it today and it works perfectly. The blue LED is kind of bright and I wish it had an enclosure (eBay has plenty in an aluminum enclosure, but no empty ones AFAIK), but it looks like any board with the PCM2704 chip will do the trick. Not bad for $7-8.

Well, this is getting a little beyond me, but I'll tell what what I think this chipset/adapter does and does not do. Feel free to correct me, as I may not understand it very well.
PCM is the uncompressed form that all digital audio takes. DD and DTS are compressed, lossy formats that require decoders to decompress (DD TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are the lossless varieties). I have no idea what the NP can output via USB, but this card handles only PCM audio (most cheap converters only handle PCM due to the high DD/DTS licensing fees).
Uncompressed PCM takes up quite a bit of bandwidth and I'm pretty sure that optical and coax connections are limited to 2.0 or 2.1 PCM data, so I'm pretty sure this card only spits out 2.0 or 2.1. Which is fine, since my soundbar is only a 2.1 system and I want to use this specifically with Pandora and other audio apps so that I can stream without leaving the TV on all day (which I have to do if I run the audio through HDMI). If you're looking for a higher-end audio card that supports audio encoding/compression (or, rather, will pass compressed audio through to your receiver/soundbar/TV/whatever), the HDMI audio extractor is likely your best bet.
The Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro II USB Sound Card/Digital Adapter is known to be compatible with the Shield TV. It was plug and play for the user in the following YouTube video and he uses it with his sound bar, search:
"The Best Way to Add Optical Audio Out to Nvidia Shield TV Console"
Amazon is Temporarily sold out but I think you can get them from Turtle Beach.

I've seen a few threads about headphone adaptors, but haven't seen a definitive answer to my query, so I hope I'm not going over old ground.
I'm looking for a cable that plugs into my Wizard (O2 XDA Mini-S) at one end and at the other end has a mic, a clip (to attach it to clothes), and a socket for standard 3.5mm headphones - through which it will provide true stereo (not dual mono) sound. It needs to be a reasonable length, so that I can have my phone in my pocket and clip the mic to my collar.
If it can provide FM radio into the bargain (and take any necessary power from the Wizard) that'd be even better, but it's by no means essential.
Any recommendations (especially in the UK)?
Thanks,
Robb
Whoo Hoo!
I've been keeping an eye out for something like this too... and I think I've finally found some!

I'm going to do a bit more shopping before I buy anything but I'll post a review once I do.
check this out http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=140285
I'd be afraid the Samsung one wouldn't work with the Wizard. It says several times it is for the listed models ONLY. It might be a standard plug, but I seem to recall seeing someone posting (probly on another forum) about problems using some 2.5mm connectors with the Wizard. The LG one might have the same problem, but both could also work fine.
I really like that HTC Bluetooth one! I wonder if I can get it in the US. How good is the sound quality over bluetooth?
It's true, not all 2.5 mm plugs are wired the same. I've had to open up the last one I bought and rewire it to make it work with the Wizard.
Watch Expansys - their web site (and their staff) are wrong.
Like many people on this forum, I have an O2 XDA Mini-S. When looking for a headphone adapter, I searched for a 'htc wizard headphone adapter' and was led to this unit by the search: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127181
When you look at this adapter you can see that it includes this unit: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=118289
This is actually a different animal. This has a Mfr Part #: PPCPADPT15,eXpansys Code: 118289. This is an adapter for an O2 XDA III, not a Mini-S (it says so on the envelope)
When I repeat my search on PPCTech's web site I get this page (via tinyurl) http://tinyurl.com/2hkdym This shows that the adapter for an HTC wizard, or an O2 Mini-S is actually a PPCPADPT11, not a PPCPADPT15.
I tried to return the adapter and asked for the correct adapter for my phone only to be told by an arrogant and ignorant sales person that what I have is the correct adapter. He's been "selling these for four years and he knows what he is talking about" I tell him that sound only comes from one earpiece, and he says this is normal - you only get mono from this adapter. Utter rubbish!
Has anyone else worked out if the PPCPADPT11 is correct? If so, how did they convince eXpansys?
Cheers

Just the speaker works, the button and mike don't. I don't know if I broke something but it has got a 4 ring 2.5mm jack. it also aught to be pretty easy rewiring because of the standard 4p4c modular RJ10 connector. According to their website it should: "will work with most phones (Motorola, LG, Samsung)".
I've done some sporadic attempts to find a wiring schemes of the Wizard's jack connector but hadn't have much luck, would love to go B100 style sometimes!!!

I noticed on the that site is says the internal microphone will not work. Does that mean the jack only has 2 poles? A left/right audio out. No audio in for a microphone?

Sorry, meant 3 rings and 3 input/outputs. 2 audio and 1 mic.
First of all, this is my 2nd hands-free Bluetooth device (my 1st was a [Nokia BH-900] that barely worked on my PC but worked well on my N95).
Ever since the day I got my HTC Hero, I really missed using a wireless headset to listen to music/internet radio.
Thankfully, one day I saw what I wanted and it was for a great price! ($39.99 USD)
Okay, enough with my rambling, time for the good/bad stuff:
*Since every retailer who sells these always lists specs and box contents, I won't bore you with the same boring thing.
Pros:
+Once paired, it connects easily with my HTC Hero [Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1], Macbook Air, PC [Vista Business/Windows 7 Professional] laptops. Obviously, not all at the same time.
+Has multiple earbud accessories for numerous ear sizes.
+Does not have a goofy blue flashing indicator.
+Once on your ear, it won't come off unless you want it to.
+You can use your own headphones in conjunction with the headset.
+The 3.7V, 100mA gives about ~6 hours of continuous use (videos and music).
Now for the very short list of the negatives...
Cons:
-The entire unit is housed in a cheap plastic shell (my unit fell to pieces when I received it [2 little dabs of glue quickly fixed this])
-Even though this unit is the same standard size as the newest headsets in the market, it feels a bit heavy. I think this is due to the fact that I don't use it everyday and I have weak ears canals.
-The "text-to-voice" software in the Android marketplace is worthless with the HTC Hero.
Although a lot of the functions can't be used on the Hero (text-to-speech messages/email/time, headset locator, etc), you probably could use it on other phones/devices.
If you have a HTC Hero and want/need a wired/wireless headset, buy this unit! It has everything you'll ever need. Period.
Finally, since I only use this as a wireless headset, I never tested the microphone quality. I still haven't developed the backbone to wear this out in the public .

http://sellout.woot.com/ has it for $29.99 today. Anyone else have this and want to comment on their experience? Most of the reviews on Amazon are poor.
Hi CGeyser, could you please check with the manual and advise what's the frequency range of the HM6450 (regarding the audio playback)? I try to identify that online but got no clues anywhere.THX
BTW, how's the noise reduction with its dual-mic?
The manual doesn't say anything about any frequency range of the phone and audio playback. It only shows pairing instructions and liability statements.
I use my wired stereo headphones in conjunction with the headset (my ear canals are sensitive to the weight of BT headsets). I can clearly hear the caller and they can hear me as well. It eliminates the majority of background noise while allowing you to hear/to be heard. This configuration isn't very convenient, but it allows you to use the device without looking like a goofy businessman/businesswoman.
I have yet to use the BT headset by itself so I can't attest to the audio/mic quality.

Thanks CGeyser. Your input is already doing much more help than Samsung's support (like you said, nothing indicative could be found from their manual)
Job21, just curious, why do you want to know the frequency range?
I imagine that its the same if not similar to other BT headsets already out in the market.
Are you worried that it'll interfere with your wireless network(s)? If so, you should be able to easily change your router's settings.

sorry for confusing u.
for frequency range i was referring to the headsets output (bass to treble) to earphone.
since i'm planning to get a quality pair,and hope hm6450 would get me a wider range and best utilize the earphone
ps i finally manage to identify user manual of each hm6450 / hm3700 /hs3000 from 3 diff site of samsung worldwide, what a good support
Hmmm...as of now, I don't know of any BT headset that'll allow you to directly change the bass & treble on-the-fly. Maybe with some software on your phone "might" be able to change it (virtually/simulated).
On the headset, you can only change the volume and the device(s) it gets paired to.
As it is now, the sound quality is excellent as any good BT headsets get. Not as good as as my wireless Sennheiser headphones, but still very good.

I was thinking if this HM6450 or someother BT headset would allow most of the original signal to feed to the earphone (just checked, it should be frequency RESPONSE indeed).
But like you said, there should be standard output among different brand and gives no big difference at all.
Sorry I couldn't help you as much as I could. I'm not really an audiophile.
Hi! All. is it possible to use bluetooth headphones to listen to music with the galaxy tab? any compatibility issues i should be looking out for before buying if its possible to use.
of coz it is possible
Even better, the 7.7 supports the APT-X Bluetooth codec/profile, which sounds noticeably better than regular A2DP. Of course you need a receiver that supports APT-X as well.
I picked up an LG Tone Bluetooth headset.
It allows phone calls (with my tablet or my EVO) and can be used as a stereo headset for videos, music, etc.
Battery lasts a long time and works great for me.

Have you tried any of the higher end bluetooth headphones like sennheiser mm 550-x or 450-x? I'm actually looking for a decent headphone with phone call capability and noise cancelling for travelling
Hmm, I doubt that the hardware is different in the Verizon version - also, APT-X can be both AFAIK, either hardware- or software-wise implemented. Maybe it's just a firmware difference, or maybe they just didn't write down the whole specs.
Nah, haven't tried those Senns - do they support APT-X? (So far my only experience with APT-X was on the Creative Zen X-Fi 3 with a small Samsung APT-X adapter/receiver, and my regular IEMs plugged in. The sound quality was pretty much as good as wired, to my ears.)

I use a set of Sony DR-BT21G headphones. They are excellent but alas they were discontinued a few years ago and Sony never brought out a followup model :-(
The only real drawback to them is lack of USB charging - they use a silly 3.3V Sony charger (which I think was also used for minidisc players, perhaps why they chose it as maybe they originally thought to make it for MD players).
I plan on using my Motorola S10 HD when I get my tab. They work really well with my xoom currently.

$1 price is for the "microUSB data cable" only... read your purchase and know what you are buying !!
most MHL adapter will work... and don't forget... it need an external power source .... the device/phone alone won't have enough juice !
this was even in print of the page/link you'd given above:

Ended up getting this one. ~$5 and has USB charging port. Plus I just received my 5200mAh battery so if this works without power it'll be great!
Let us know if this work with the Note. I have tried many MHL adapter and it doesn't work.
I stole one from my brother that works on my Note. It came with his Samsung Infuse.

Monoprice has an MHL adapter for just over $10 (item #8675). While this isn't as cheap as some of the ones on Ebay, the sense of security is worth the price. Plus, it's cheaper than buying an "official" one. I've been using this on my Note for a while now with no issues. It does not work with my wife's S3, though. It appears that they will carry an MHL adapter for the S3 soon, however.
OK...got the adapter today!
For reference I got this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180895011500?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Works but has a few flaws which I don't know are related to the adapter, phone, or my TV in my room (Sony KD-34XBR960).
Only issues is that if the phone is at max volume the audio has a lot of static and distortion. Dropping the volume to about 50-75% fixes this completely though. Also considering the phone is 16:10 and my TV is 16:9 the image is a bit cut off on the top and bottom (still fullscreen and everything works, movies look great irregardless). The adapter also doesn't seem to charge the phone either when using HDMI as my percentage was falling. I'm guessing the power plug needed is for the HDMI output.
Oh and phone calls don't work at all...thought it would be cool to do speaker calling through my TV but that was a no go.
So from my experience it only works with videos, surfing the web, etc...no phone calls.
Other than those issues, which I don't know are typical or not, the adapter works excellently! No complaints for $5 and some change shipped other than the long ass wait (22 days from China...whatever).
I'm happy and definitely recommend it! Despite the issues I have I'm still completely satisfied.
Soo... What earphones for L9 do you recommend, and why? What do you think about original earphones from LG? I won't hide my intentions, I'd like to buy new earphones (especially for my device), and I don't want to do it on spec.

These type of earphones are called earbuds.
I have bought mine from Aliexpress (a site like ebay), and they have been working great so far.
If you actually enjoy music, pick up one of these to try with a decent pair of headphones. Sky's the limit price wise on headphones so it depends on your budget. If you want a good cheap pair i would recommend these.
I strongly recomend Philips SHE8005 headphones .

I was just looking at that Aliexpress, http://gaga.aliexpress.com/210698610-1110017854-detail.html?spm=a2704.6645961.3.1. Whoa.
Must be some fake or something
Not sure whether it is fake, but we will never know. I have seen some of these extreme deals on aliexpress, the fact is that there are only 5 for this price and they run out as soon as the deal comes alive (= in less than a second) However, I do not recommend buying such things, the devil never sleeps.
But what you would buy on ebay, you can buy from aliexpress too, I did not have a single problem with them and they have a large selection of earphones/earbuds/headphones.
I recommend Panasonic RP-HJE120-K, they'r cheap and play very good, like hi-end earphones if You like warm, clear sound, especially with V4A.

Fiio amps (or portable amps in general) are really intended for full-sized over the ear headphones. The added power is much more apparent because IEMs (earbuds) are already running at just about the peak of their power. I will say, though, that I own a Fiio E6 with a pair of NuForce NE-700M (a top-ranker in multiple sub-$100 quality lists, including Wired.com; can be had for $75, $65 without the microphone), and there is a notable difference in dynamic range and achievable volume.

good info. sounds like you know your stuff.
Stock headphones from samsung s3 are the best option for our l9. If you want better sound buy sansa clip+ and creative aurvana live xD or if you dont care about design superlux headphones.
