For anyone who wants to order their 3.5mm solution now, take a look at this one from HTC: http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=159613
It’s the page for one listed as being for a Touch Cruise, but there’s a page with one for every HTC phone. I’ve been using it for a few months on my HTC Touch Cruise and it’s great. The plug itself is compact, no different in size than a 3.5mm headphone plug -- and stays put (it isn't shown in the photo). It has 2 parts, the cord with the plug at one end, and a microphone with a 3.5mm jack at the other. The other part is the throwaway earbud headphones that you can toss and use your own. No bulky dongle, and makes any favorite pair of headphones into your microphone/stereo headset. Personally, I forget HTC forgot the 3.5mm jack with this one, as it's just a cable, not an annoying adapter.
The pinout of the mini-usb jack on the G1 is the same as all other HTC phones, so at the very least the microphone and stereo audio will work. Some features of the answer-button that may or may not work on the G1: push once to answer; pushing while on a call places the call on hold; 2 quick presses redials the last number; 1 long press activates voice dial. Most likely, the button will mimick whatever functionality is present with the headset that ships with the device.
It's made by HTC, and is very durable. Beware the adapters from Seidio -- they last a couple weeks and then start to give out, audio stutters, fades in/out -- they're not constructed well and within a month or so the ends start to get loose from the wire; and you can't exactly run to Best Buy for replacements.
The budget-shipping rate from MobilePlanet.com should have them to you well before your G1 arrives
Question. How far will the microphone be from my mouth? How good is the microphone...the problem is my regular headphones are kinda long like the wire is probably a good 20 inches.
So by the time its plugged into the adapter the mic is gonna be 20 inches from my mouth..and I want to be able to pic up without using the phone? will it work?
Probably -- the mic is in the end that your headphones plug into, I don't know how long it is, but I do hold the mic up a bit when I use it as that. Primarily, I like it as it's not a dongle and in use is no different than having a 3.5mm headphone plugged in. The plug itself isn't big, it stays put, and if I need to speak on it I can. The mic quality is OK, though it picks up all background noise, and a slight breeze can sound like a windstorm. Talking on it is just a convenience for me, I really wanted a standard type stereo headphone cable that I could pick up a call on. My devices tend to be music players first, and phones 2nd.

Earbuds w/out Mic/Converter?
Hey all,
I've been looking for some earbuds that don't require an adapter and just plug into the G1's current plug, or have an annoying mic; just to listen to music with.
Something that would eliminate the need for this: http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5mm-Headset-H...14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
Does anyone know where I can find some?
Thx

While I don't endorse this company, they seem to have quite a selection. http://onlyandroid.mobihand.com/homeAccessories.asp?hCategory=1022 Personally, I am inclinded to get http://onlyandroid.mobihand.com/productaccessories.asp?id=17085&n=HTC-3-in-1-USB-Adapter so I can charge the phone and use the headset of my choice. (This adapter looks like a beast though...)

PS that website has the adapter you are looking at on ebay for less... just fyi.
mini usb to rca adapter
is there a mini usb to rca adapter that can work with the g1?
Well, it's got 2 reviews, and a rating of 1 star on the company's site... There are tons of them on eBay, wonder if those are terrible... I suspect so.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280277868575
I ordered a few of those. I will let you guys know how long it takes to get to the US and how I like the adapter itself. I also need one for the car that lets me charge and then convert to 3.5 to go into my aux input in my car.

Might be easiest to go USB -> 3.5mm -> RCA. Not elegant but parts are available.

thanks

Here is a good 3.5 adapter that lets you charge at the same time.

Same volume as the headset that ships with it. Try it and see.
sorry i wasnt clear, i didnt mean does an adaptor effect the sound, purely what is mp3 quality and sound like through headphones generally on g1 (standard headphones or not) compared to say i-phone,nokia,sony erricson etc
Sounds good to me.
i have one of those adapters, i got it for my wing way back, i think they were like 99 cents or something so i bought a bunch, they wear out pretty fast though, there nice to play music from my g1 in my car, i just wish there was a way to keep the microphone on the phone so i could talk on the phone and have the audio come through my cars speakers.
Headphone adapter
The newer G1s are shipping with a really nice official headphone adapter in the box, but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Are early adopters just left out in the cold with no headphone support? HTC has these ExtUSB ports on every one of their phones but they don't seem to sell any official adapters so I'm going to be stuck buying sub-par chinese adapters off of Ebay.
anyone have any pictures of what the headphone adapters look like?
wth, i want one official one! maybe calling t-mobile, they will send us one?
It looks the same as the standard headphones the only difference is that at the head phones them selves aren't attached to the remote (one end of the remote is the usb cable and the other is a 3.5mm port) they are 3.5mm head phones. I called t-mobile about it because my brother got one and they said they new nothing they said it wasn't on the packing list so I called HTC and they said they new nothing and since there was no bulletin they could not send me anything. I went to my local t-mobile store asked them about it and they gave me a new one out of a returned phone. The reason that tmobile says that they are not shipping them with a 3.5mm adapter is because its just a modified head phone and not an adapter and head phones in the box. I would recommend going to your local t-mobile store and asking about it.
Sorry about the picture quality I took them with my super G1 camera.
The U11 will come with an active noise cancelling headphones. That's nice for listening on the air plane. But, if I watch movies or listen to music on a long flight, the phone may not have much juice left by the time I land. Is there anything that would allow charging and listening to headphones at the same time?
When you charge, use BT phones.

My impression, based on the HTC video, was that it's the microphones on the handset that receive the ambient sounds that are then cancelled out. If that is so would this not mean that any headphones connected would provide some noise cancelling capability (the function being carried out on the handset rather than the normal (in headset) method).
I understand that the HTC U11 headphones have mics on them and via the USB-C send that signal back to the phone for processing.
That's why the headphone replacement cost is still sub US$50.
It makes perfect sense and does away with the battery that usually come with ANC headphones. (http://us.akg.com/all-headphones/in-ear/N20+NC.html?dwvar_N20 NC_color=Black#start=1)
And apparently they are reporting now that the noise canceling function of the included headphones only works with this phone.

The headphones should work on any USB-C enabled phone (including the U Ultra), but the Noise Cancelling is a feature built into the U11.
You cant take it away from HTC to make available the U11 replacement headsets that support Active Noise Cancellation for under US$50.
The only other Smartphone that shipped with ANC headphones (in selected regions) was the Sony Xperia Z2 along with the Sony Digital Noise Cancelling Headset MDR-NC31EM that achieve similar benefits with the phone handling the ANC wizardy.

I found a solution for this. I was searching for USB C Hub and found some have pass through USB-C PD ports. There are different options in the hub. Some have HDMI output, Ethernet, SD card reader.... and they're expensive. I got one with just USB 3.1 ports for only $9.00 from Amazon. There problem is USB 3.1 ports are all Type A connectors. So, I have to get an USB 3.0 Type A Male to USB 3.1 Type C Female Converter Adapter, another $6.00 from Amazon. After that, I tested on the Google Pixel phone and the JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones. They work perfectly. The phone is charged in rapid mode and the headphones noice consolation works. Now, the hub and the adaptor is a little big and I will have to deal with it. it's not too bad when sitting still on the airplane seat. The more expensive hubs may be more compact.

This sounds promising, but doesn't really tell you if the USonic headphones will work with U11 in a similar setup.

This is the hub I tested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZONJ20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Smaller hub (ordering): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B..._title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1UF68VVAYTLD5
Type A to Type C Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7Q42QV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The headphones: JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones. $200 at HTC but I paid $50 from A4C.com last month.
The smaller one doesn't work (link below). The charge shows up as "Charge slowly" or just "Charge" without "Rapid" after unplug/plug a few times. The phone doesn't recognize the headphone when plug in to the USB-A port. I'm returning it. That's too bad because the size of it is much smaller than the other one and it looks much better too. . Do not buy it...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A1UF68VVAYTLD5
From the reviews I've seen the noise cancelling is negligible and enhanced more by the ear plug's noise isolation. Great for day to day listening in a noisy office but not great for plane or train rides. I'll stick to my Bose for noise cancelling on flights and use included headphones for day to day use.
Hi,
I picked up my U 11 a couple of days ago.
Using the U11 on the train worked very well. You can tell the difference when ANC is ON or OFF.
I would say it's comparable to my Sony Bluetooth Active Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Some of you may agree but some may disagree. The audio output of the 3.5mm headphone jack is far to quiet.
A cheap and easy solution to this is I bought the USB-C to 3.5mm DAC from HTC. Join the HTC club and it was £5.95 with free next day delivery.
Much louder and very good quality. Can't find any specification on what BIT the DAC is and I don't have the tools to measure it but its far better than the build in 3.5mm jack.

I've got tinnitus in my right ear from constantly having a headphone in it for a number of years. I used to always listen on the loudest volume. With the xperia xz you can have active noise cancelling headphones, I can warmly recommend the nc31em in ear, I bought a pair for 15 bucks and it uses the processor of the phone so you don't have to carry a big dongle. Now I can listen at half volume and still hear everything better than I did before!
I received a Griffin iTrip Clip Bluetooth headphone adapter so I could be wire free from my phone and found this improved the loudness and remained good quality audio. You may get a bit of breakage occasionally if multitasking but for £14 from Amazon, it's a cracking piece of kit!
Fantastic solution
I have followed the steps of signing up for HTC Club, and ordering the adapter straight away. It really came next day with no extra charge for delivery. And oh boy, the sound is amazing! I am bit of geek when it comes to headphones, so i have a multiple different types. The difference between using the audio jack output of the phone and using the usb c adapter is NIGHT and DAY. Not only loudness is incomparable higher, the pure quality of the sound is improved in every way. I do not believe that there is DAC hidden in the adapter, as it is quite small and low priced. What makes difference in my opinion is the additional power phone can send to the headphones by using the USB C out. Difference is so big, that this workaround can be seen as hidden features to extent, as Sony has not said a thing about using your USB C out for audio. Now I truly understand why the removal of headphone jack make sense as even phones with not the best DAC and AMP can produce great sound thanks to power of USB C.
In case of Sony Xperia XZ however, it looks as DAC is of a top- notch quality(it officially supports Hi-Res codecs after all) but the AMP is criminally under-powered and so combined with Sony obeying EU regulations for safe listening volume converts to quality sound but on quiet side. But thanks to this adapter the DAC is no longer tied to volume level set by headphone jack.
Everyone who owns this phone must buy this, especially considering the low price of the adapter. You need hear it to believe it.

Two kinds of USBC to 3.5mm Adapters, beware.
Just so folks know, there are two types of USB-C 3.5mm adapters out there - Digital and Analog.
All decent phones should support the Digital adapters, since they are just USB Audio Class devices made small. You could also plug them into a PC. Because they contain the DAC and amplifier, they will be spendy.
However, the $2 Passive adapters have no DAC in them. They trigger a special mode of the phone that basically puts the USB-C jack into an analog 3.5mm mode and the rest is just plastic and metal. The DAC is in the phone. The phone has to specifically support this mode, and will likely indicate USB-C Analog Accessory Mode in their specifications. Xperia XZ Premium does NOT support this mode, and never will - it has to be built into the hardware.
Just sayin.

Because people are trying different USB Audio headphones. Sony is not in control of their quality or amplification since the DAC and amp are in the headphones. For those using different 3.5mm headsets, their quality varies greatly. Sony expects folks to buy theirs, preferably with their active noise canceling that they wrote software for. It works well but as stated, they are not very loud.

ok so I have an audio system in my car, and volume in headphones gets super low compared to CD (I know CD quality is the best you can get i think) but still its VERY very low compared to it, in aux on 13db I get same loudness as 7db in CD, which means I have to turn it on almost twice as much as a cd to hear same loudness, (why dont I simply turn my audio more than usual on a cd?) because I like listening to very loud music and I some times get to 23db on a cd and its very loud and on aux i must reach at least 40db to get close to being as loud but my audio system only supports up to 30db so I am getting aux loudness of 15-16db compared to CD.
will the usb 3.0 to AUX DAC help me get louder volume?
Managed to rip the cord out of one of the earpieces. Tried a couple of cheap USB-C earbuds from eBay, but they didn't work. Any of you guys that can provide a link to a international shipping USB-C earbud that works with N8S? Sound quality is not that important, will mostly be used for audiobooks.

Phone comes with headphone and an adapter for 3.5mm headphones. Sound is good for me. So why are you searching for usb c Headphones?
Maybe a htc usb c Headphone wors?
Edit: i used yesterday the adapter with spotify, and adapter was not hot after 1h of using it. Im on Dezember Security patch
My adapter and earbuds were stolen... I tried 4 kinds of earbuds from eBay, none of them worked. Can someone recommend a pair that works with this phone?
Thanks
I tried these, they work, but I do not own them, so no details will be provided.

When i got the P20 Pro in October i was astonished at how BAD the audio quality and volume output was. That was using the supplied official usb-c to 3.5mm cable of course.
I found the same using the P30 Pro using the same cable.
Then i discovered there is cables out there with much better DAC's in the cables - as its digital to analogue cable. Bottom line problem solved....deep bass, clear mids, and sweet treble.
This is the cable i got https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KW3XYQX

To be honest i havent tried with headphones - i use the phone mainly in the car for music using the AUX input to the sound system. It was really bad quality before i got the new cable. Transformed the sound completely, like buying a new hifi lol.
The headphones i do use tend to require an amp to get the most out of them, AKG K550 and Sennheiser HD590......
I am surprised that none of the reviews picked up on this cable short coming, particularly in the P20 Pro reviews since it comes with a cable.....

I have their wireless headphones, Freelace, but it's annoying because when using on my P30 Pro the sound vs video is delayed (1-2 seconds). Tryed in dev option to change codec, but still an issue. I hoped that in EMUI 10 they will sort it out, but is the same. And seeing your post made me remember of my AKG from Samsung headphones, to give them a chance since they are never used
Yeah, strange. Maybe no one had any interests in promoting this cable or no one ever care
Gonna give it a try (when back in stock).
Thanks again

there are several other cables you could try also which feature the same thing. for reference mine was priced around £8-9. I have seen some price around £30. When i ordered i thought hmmm no way the cheaper cable will work but it did.
