It's probably okay for some people, but I find the sound quality from my diamond leaves something to be desired. I've used the SRS WOW thing but I think now I'm up against the hardware limitations...
Does anyone know / have an opinion on whether the major limitation on sound quality is the phone itself or the headphones? I was thinking of getting some decent headphones (and a converter) and, although this will definitely improve the sound quality somewhat, is the output from the phone good enough to justify this... or would I have more satisfaction from, say, setting fire to my money ?
the headphones supplied with the Diamond are sh*te.
i have made a adaptor out of the original headphones, so i can plug in a decent set, sounds much better!
I only have the original headset, and it is indeed very low quality, but when I use my Motorola S9 it's a whole different experience.
I know the S9 is expensive, but it's worth every penny.
Interesting! So, essentially, the problem seems to be the headphones. Anyone else have any experience?
yeh, what i did was take the diamond headphone, cut the actual ear pieces off and solder on a 3.5mm socket, so i can plug any headphones in
this should help. i've already got one.

There's a thread somewhere that says that they work pretty well with the diamond. Or (now) a moto s9, as they are apparently so awesome...

I bought a headset for my XDA1, which has a sonyericsson label on it, but looks completely like the one i've seen on this site (probably the same type). My problem is that the answer button on the mic does nothing at all.
I tested the button with pressing it while recording, and i hear the click. Do i need some extra program which recognises this? Has anyone got any experiences regarding stereo mic headsets? Software is 4.01.16 T-Mobile
i would guess it's because they dont use the same connectors for button and mic as the HTC headset
Everything is fine, except the answer button, although that works also (grounds mic line). It just wont answer the call. Headphones are good too, its cool to use the XDA as an MP3 player.

Where did you buy it? How much was it? I want one too, cause the original headset's quality is really crap.
Mine is probably the same as yours. Its a sonyericsson, but the mic is exactly the same as the HTC i found on this site.
Found this pic on eBay. The headset is the same, but without the radio.

You could probably modify yours and put any kind of headphones on top of the mic. You good at soldering?
Has anyone gotten a chance to try out this new A2DP headset?
It has earbuds, unlike the slightly annoying Jabra BT8010

5 Hr a2dp battery life
Yeah, I just noticed no caller id display too...
I have an SE HBH-DS970
The battery life could be better and it only displays numbers not names but sound quality is excelent.

I don't think it's out yet... I believe the release date is around the end of next month.
I actually like this thing so far. I use the dual ear plug designs because I spend a lot of time in datacenters or busy offices where it is hard for me to hear. I like to be able to concentrate on what I am hearing. When you are trying to go deaf from too many Rush concerts you have to be selective on the gear you buy.

Anyone found a site with these in stock yet?

Best Buy and others are carrying them, I have purchased several of them and I really enjoy them for being an all in one solution. I would like better AudioIQ and Mic as seen in the 665 versions, but for now its battery life works ok, I see between 4 and 6 hours of solid use, purchasing 2 of them will get you through a days worth of airplane travel and they have great standby time. The music isn't bad and the lack of cables makes them function pretty well for my needs...

I was tempted to get the 855, but purchased the 590A instead. I am very satisfied with their fit and preformance. Those earbuds dont always stay properly secured for me.
I agree, but the 855 ships with multiple earbuds and the built in loop makes it very usable...
Hey folks, dropped the gf off at the airport and she realised she'd forgotten her phone, consequently she'd got no music to listen to so muggins handed over the ipod.
Now I'm left with my faithful touch dual and a headphone adapter I got from eBay (as per one of the posters in this forum)

...and my Etymotic ER6i headphones which have to date provided me with stunning audio quality.
Only problem -- hiss, and a lot of it! Now I know that my headphones are very sensitive, if there's a less than perfect audio connection involved hiss does occur.
As such, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has similar experience, or indeed no issues at all and could recommend a better headphone adapter (pref with mic).
Thanks in advance!
*****SOLVED*****
Returned that first adapter for refund (the microphone didn't even work when I tried it!) and ordered a different sort, as seen below:
Completely different story, sliding the volume control on the adapter right down and upping the device volume allows for clear sound and zero hiss. I'm a happy chappy
The microphone even works...bonus!
nb. for anyone who's interested:
A long press on the button initiates voice dial and hangs up.
Double tapping it calls the last number dialed.
A single tap will put the other person on hold during a call.
Only thing..... anyone know how I can boost the microphone sensitivity just a bit so I can have it a bit further (it's ok btw, don't let me put anyone off, I just want an extra bonus bit of sensitivity )
I hade a similar issue with bluetooth headsets.. the solution seems to be if you're headset etc has volume control, put it low, and increase the nike's volume.
When I used my iPad, I had the Jensen Rocker dock that was pretty much perfect for all media purposes, with a swivel mount to allow the iPad to be used in portrait or landscape, rather decent built-in speakers in the base, remote control, etc.
I'm sure the answer is 'no', but does anybody know of any sort of speaker dock available for the Tab? I've only found things that require being plugged into the headphone jack or syncing with Bluetooth, which would be fine if there were some central spot to at least perch the Tab so it looks like it was built for such use.
I have the HDMI dock, but even plugging that into some external speakers would look more like a rigged Frankenstein contraption. It seems that accessory makers have all but given up on the Tab, so are we pretty much stuck without all the goodies like a speaker dock? What do you guys use, if anything, for this purpose?
Hi, If you prefer quality sound over just-some-sound, then BlueTooth cannot be because they are bandwidth limited compared to the full audio band record in CD. I don't have a dock, but if I ever wants sound to SGT, then I would get it from headphone jack with voodoo sound anti-jitter and 128x oversampling.
I use a Bluetooth receiver connected to my Stereo System.

The Tab just sits in one of these cheap docks:
I bought the samsung bluetooth speakers for 50 euro at 1dayfly.nl and satisfied as they are officially 200 euro.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Is here any audiophile ? Or I am a lone ?

The quality of the sound is "reference signature". Reached totally another lever.
Big thanks to Sony Xperia Z witch is provides superior quality with ClearAudio+
You next.

Those earphones look really expensive. I don't really care too much about audio, find it hard to tell the difference unless I do a side by side comparison.
I'm only using my MDR-1R that I got free with the phone and looking to buy SBH20 so I can connect my headphones to that and then use NFC/BT to connect to phone. The audio quality would probably be pathetic if I do this, but its more practical and I don't want to be opening the flaps on my Xperia all the time
AW: What kind of headphones/headset are you using ?
Didnt have that much time yet with the Z, but I'm quite pleased from what I heard. I use Denon AH-D1100, B&W P5 and some Phonak Audéo, forgot which ones though.
