mytouch 3g 3.5 adapter Plus remote on headset?

ok so my problem is that i have the original mytouch without the 3.5mm jack but i have an adapter that lets me use them which has a mic and button for play/pause
i want to know if there is any way to get something like skullcandy fmj(not those but just those as an example) to be able to to play/pause while connected to this
what i currently have the mic on the headset works but the play/pause button doesn't. the button on the adapter works only
is there anyway around this or am i stuck with the adapter?
sry if this has been asked

Just Curious, What adapter are you using?

better go and spent your money for bluetooth headphones... Adapter's have low durability ... and headphones have problems with jack/cables
i bought a brand new nokia bh-503 and im 100% satisfied

This would be good for general listening. I don't think this is very good for running with. Also, many inexpensive headphones (3.5mm) have very good dynamic range and noise cancellation for low cost. I have not found a good sports bluetooth headphone yet. Secondly, the battery life of bluetooth has to be considered, what will you do when your battery is low?

I am looking for an adaptor/buetooth headphones with remote and a display. Any suggestions?

where can I buy one of these?

What do you think of the stereo quality of P990?

Hi I've used a AKG 450 headset for a long time. The sound of it was very good if I used sony's w600 Bluetooth. If I connected it to the phone the sound wasnt to much to brag about. But now I've bought a sennheiser HD25-II-2 and a Fiio E11 but the sound through the Sony just sucks. But when I connect it directly too the phone, it sound, well, bloody f***ing good! So the situation has turned 360°. So what's wrong here? It got a great DA-converter but the phone's amp cant handle any resistance?

Amplifier, not a DA converter ;-)
I'm satisfied with sound, nothing spectacular but ok. It depends on what kind of headphones you have, higher impendance means higher load on headphone amp. Some like that, some not...
But, review on GSM arena said something about almost exceptional sound when connected to external amp so check it out

No, DA -converter. It must be really good compared to its amp. The akg is a perfect 32 ohms resistance, but still it sounded very bad indeed. But with the Fiio E11 amp it sounds so good that it just (almost) doesnt make sense

I seem to remember that the highend senheisers, needs power to play well. I always go for low resistance headphones, since i only drive them with my phone amp. Sound was good with my old Sennheiser cx300 and realy good with my Sunrise Xcape Impressive edition.

That was why I bought the amp. But I had no idea that this sound was waiting to be release from the x2! All the reviews points at the stereo crossover.

I wasn't aware about theese portable amps, i might be interested if i would gain anything with my easy driven inears. I haven't taken any concern about the crossover, i don't notice it. But I guess it would still be pressent with the amp.

I've just gone through the review from gms arena and the crossover is only with headset. That confirms what I experience with an amp. Believe me, it sounds really good!

Ok normaly the Xcapes don't need an amp. But that's with ipods and sansa clip's etc. Do you think the amp in the optimus 2 x is a lot less powerfull than mp3 players normaly is. Then i should consider getting an amp maybe the Fiio e5 ?

I havent heard the E5. Its dirt cheap and I bet it sounds like it. The E11 was about 36$ from mp4 nation when I ordred it ....
Edit: from mp4 nation: )

Ok just noticed the e6. An upgrade of e5. The sound quality is said to be good. But not on par wit e11

Just one way to find out.

i find it just a meh. the bass is flat.

The bass of E11 is very tight and punchy. Guess its the way to go then.

Qualcomm DAC isn't impressive

I was using some hi-fi earphones on this phone and was getting enough power from the phone. I have DSPManager equalizer installed and I nearly had to have the volume bar full just to get decent volume. Kind of sucks, but I can't complain too much for how good the price was. Will any developers be working on this chipset?

i think chinese phone could be great and could be compare with this incredible phone

Which hi-fi earphones you are using?
With your case, I suggest you buy a headphone amp like Fiio E5 to deal with your high impedence headphones.

How good are the Fiio E5's? I have been looking for something to give my 8323's a little something extra and does it work with an inline mic?

It's just a headphone amp. I haven't tried with an mic so I don't know. Don't expect too much from its price point.
But for 99% people E5 will work great. I'm using E5 with my laptop and Grado headphone.

Not expecting too much, just a little extra "oomph" in power to where I don't have to have the volume up to 100% and it still sound low.

E5 can definitely do that.
I just tried connecting my Grado to N4 without the amp. And the volume is perfect for me.
Also tried connect the phone to E5 and does amplify a bit, not a lot though.
There's also an E6 for a few bucks more. The power output spec:
E5:
Output Power: 100mW (32ohms Load) 18mW (300ohms Load)
E6:
Output Power: 150mW (16Ohm), 16mW (300Ohm)
Fiio has a whole line of portable headphone amps. Check them out on Amazon.com

Thanks, I kinda like the look of the E6 more, it's less "iPod shuffle"

The E6 is a good little amp but it will only drive headphones/earphones volume-wise. If you want something that will actually make them sound better, you'll have to step it up to an E7 or an E11. I have an E17 and it's great. The bonus with the E7 and E17 is that you can plug it into your computer via USB and use it as a DAC as well as an amp without installing any drivers.

An amp will not make the source sound better. It takes the existing signal and amplifies it. If it is a poorly designed amplifier, it may even add distortion and make the signal worse. You may hear an improvement if the amplifier on the SOC can not adequately power your headphones (likely due to either high impedance or low sensitivity, or both) and you drive it into distortion. So, if this is the case then you may hear an improvement. Given some of the lack luster results from the GSMArena testing, it may be more than just the amplifier though.
Some phones with USB OTG can use mobile USB DACs, which would likely improve SQ considering the state of sound quality on mobile SOCs. They also tend to have decent quality amplifiers as well. I'm not sure we can do this with the Nexus 4 yet, but it is possible on the GS3 and I'd suspect it's only a matter of time before we get it here as well.

If you are having volume issues its almost certainly because your headphones are low impedance. Lower than the inbuilt amplifier can supply. You can easily verify by plugging in another set of crappy earphones.
As was suggested, amp is your solution or you can use one of the phones that have a more powerful amplifier. I guess some of the HTC ones may have that though I have never used them.

Most USB DACs under $100 are cheaply made anyway. So there's no point to further drain your phone battery with a very minimal improvement over sound quality.
If you are really into it, use local FLAC and a small headphone amp. The best balance between mobility and audio.

The DAC in the nexus 4 drives high end IEMs easily, using hi end hifi equipment on phones and expecting it to work as Intended is bad logic
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I found the DAC in the US SGS3 to be quite adequate for a mobile chipset, and seeing as the Nexus 4 uses the same one, I see no reason to think any differently. However, I do think the SGS3 has a more powerful amp in it. If your headphones are anywhere from 50 to 300ohm impedance, you will need an amp to get adequate volume (and sound quality) out of them. Obviously a good amp cannot make up for a poor source, but if your headphones are suffering from low power, an amp will help.
My Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros are 16ohm and I still have to turn my Nexus 4 up to ~75% volume to get them at a good listening volume. They sound great though. Obviously they sound better out of my Schiit Lyr, but my HD650s benefit more from the amount of power that bad boy puts out. I actually have to run my COPs through my E17 because the Lyr is so powerful (with a high output impedance) that it causes a low hissing on the COPs no matter the volume.

I am never a fan of RighMark Audio Analyzer from when it's written...long time ago.
But people like to compare numbers and RMAA shows some pseudo relationship between numbers and apparent audio quality.
I miss the days when you actually need to LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL DEVICE instead of staring at some numbers.

I don't really want to get into a discussion on what kind of differences can be heard with what kind of headphones when connected to a phone.
High-end is a very general term and doesn't really mean anything to me. If the built-in amp cannot supply enough current to the low impedance headphones, voltage (and volume) will drop. Since the OP was complaining about volume, using an external amplifier is his solution, or otherwise getting a phone that has a better built in amp. He can easily verify if the volume drop is caused by impedance by plugging in a high impedance headset and seeing if the volume reaches his desired level.

The frequency response chart pretty much exactly described my first impression when I listened to mine.
Another thing curious is that the stats are quite different from those of the other Qualcom SoC phones (some better, some worse -- including compared to new LG with identical hardware.) I would have thought it to be near identical; most of the previous ones are in a very tight range. Perhaps the difference is due to different parties testing (Supercurio/Anandtech vs. GSMarena)?

im not sure how they test but the N4 gives some odd results, it changes alot based on the volume you set it to i believe they mention it in the anandtech review from memory, but it seems to click into different 'modes' at different volumes its kinda weird and probably software related.
wait and see what kernel devs cook up maybe.

Try again? That doesn't happen on any of the three LG V30 I have it installed on.

Hi, just tried this but didn't recognise the standard LG headphones which are high impedance.
Looks like a novelty anyway as no actual settings in app.

But the "best" settings are reserved for High Impedance Mode.
That's why @Whiskeyomega has a mod to force HIM with root.
You normally need 50 ohms impedance to trigger high impedance mode. That's why some people bought the 75 ohms jack to mate with their less than 50 ohms headsets (75 seems the least you can buy).
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DUN...5-ohm-For-Hi-Fi-Audio-player/32813442525.html
or you can buy headsets with 50 ohms or greater to get HIM.
Or you can use root to trigger that through @Whiskeyomega mod.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/fix-impedance-mode-time-t3729043

Yes, as I said, the standard headphones are more than 50 ohms, that's why they trigger the dac message. They do sound better when him is set.
Manually setting the him mode with my sennheiser cx-500i, which are only 18 ohms did not help the quality.

My LG headphones which came with my V30+ are NOT high impedance. Are you speaking of the "B&O" branded headphones or the "LG" branded headphones? Depends on where you buy your V30+. In North America, we got "LG" branded headphones, while other places got "B&O" branded headphones . NEITHER are 50 ohms or more and neither trigger High Impedence Mode.
So, I bought high impedance headphones and I also have the 75 ohms adapter if I need it.

Hi, I have LG branded headphones. Bought my phone in Dubai, ARE dual sim version.

My H930 came with B&O headphones and they're definitely not high impedance headphones. And if they are, they're rubbish, because when you plug in proper high impedance headphones, you feel the difference instantly.
LG went full retard here. They brag about quad DAC and then they go and cheap out on headphones. Ridiculous.
The headphones that came with my girlfriend's ancient Galaxy S4 mini sound better than these quasi premium B&O thingies.
Having said that, a cool app this.
Now a question. A friend of mine has a pair of Audio Technica m50x headphones that he wants to sell. They're not high impedance so if I decide to buy them from him I'll need to get an adapter. Besides cranking up the volume to the max, is there any other danger driving low impedance headphones with an adapter in high impedance mode?

USB-C to 3.5mm Audio?

Has anyone used some type of USB-C->3.5mm adapter to route audio out with any luck? I'm looking to use my current my wired headphones and my car stereo aux port. I know old lol. My wireless BeatsX suck, they dont get loud at all. The wired Beats I got 6 years ago blows these POS of earbuds out of the water. Looking for any suggestions on an adapter and any special config required in android. Currently running rooted stock. Thanks.
UPDATE - I found a great adapter that works with my car aux port with no problems. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BTVQ8YC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Great quality, good price... $9.99

Currently I am using adapter from Xiaomi MiA2, works perfectly with aux in my car and wired JBL headphones. This adapter looks and feels cheap but works really well. I think every adapter should work, just buy generic one

Thanks everyone for the reply!!

Just so you know more: every adapter should work indeed.
But these adapters contain DAC (digital to analogic converter), in order to receive sound through USB and sending it through good old analogic 3.5mm. The quality of these DAC can really have a difference in sound quality. Not on standard car environment, sure, but for someone with good earphones it is worthwhile to search for a little quality for these adapters.

The OEM adapter does not have a DAC. It doesn't need one because it's correctly wired to work with the USB audio out on the OnePlus devices. So if you use this one, you're actually using the DAC in the phone itself.

Actually it sucks (at least for the OnePlus 7T), I got one too and I regret, the sound volume is really bad with the apple adapter because it wasn't made for Android phones at all of course.
I went to a miniso store and got one adapter there and is 5x times better than the Apple one, and cost 3x less. xd

Any splitter for simultaneous 3.5mm & charging which supports fast charging?
I've seen some videos on YouTube, but doesn't seem like supporting fast charging. We've real USB3.1, there should be something out there.

I tried one (from Ali Express). It is unusable while charging as I started hearing motor sound after one minute of usage. Unplug and plug that back in, again same issue in a minute. None of such adapters support fast charging as far as I know.
