    Default Aren't all headset adapters made the same?


    I'm interested in getting a cheap mini-usb to 3.5mm earphone adapter. On eBay, the "G1" goes for $8 while the "Razr Only" linked below goes for $2 shipped. I wonder if sellers are only saying it's "Razr Only" to sell the G1 items at a higher price. They look esentially the same to me. Can anyone confirm that this would work?

    All mini USB ports are not the same. HTC uses a proprietary connector that features USB (with power) and Headset connections in a single combined connector. It is backwards-compatible with USB, but has extra 6 pins to support audio it's called extUSB. For 2 bucks you can afford to experiment though.

    Haha yeah man, def pick this up and let us know if it work! I think it should, but I don't know much about usb wiring. At any rate 2 bucks is worth the gamble.

    found one 4 $2.99

    the headphone is the same as the dash according to this thread http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...h-the-g1-1089/

    thus it's the same adapter as here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=220299463345

    I'm not convinced it is a "headset" adapter, but am concerned it may be rather a "headphones" adapter, meaning no microphone support is included. I opened a thread about 1 month ago to try to get an answer on this subject, but no one seems to know. If you do pick it up, please let us know if you have support for stereo headphones AND a microphone.

    Cool, I think I'm getting one of these

    It says in the prduct description that it works with all HTC devices that have extUSB. Plus it's only 4 bucks shipped, can't beat that.

    they are not all the same. I tried mine from my RIZR and it did not work.
