Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

I vote for 3.5 mm too.
My reasons:
1. There is 4-rings standard(good example is computer headfons with
mic - it would be cool to be able to use it with OM).
2. I use handsfree more often to listen to music than to talk. my
point - it's better to have an adaptor on handsfree and use it when
you need it and be able to use any headphones to listen to music than
to have special headphones or adaptor all the time with OM

First, my preference.  Then some thought-provoking discussion

(I know it's late - I've been finishing off a project of my own!)

I think on the whole, a 4-conductor one of these is best (which, it seems,
is the same conclusion you came to).

However, I have some other things to say regarding the hardware,
standards, and reliability.  Read on...

This is a very bad idea.  If this is true, then I just can't fathom what
Apple were thinking at the time.  I'm sick and tired of companies changing
standards, and changing connectors from one hardware generation to the
next.

One of the reasons I'm giving up Palm-based devices and switching to
OpenMoko is that Palm seem to have a new connector every new generation of
hardware, which renders all previous peripherals useless.

Also, their connectors are flimsy and poorly designed, as are the
connectors on virtually every phone in the market.  USB provides power and
data, I think it's time all phones used it.

 External adapters are a bad idea since it could put extra force on the

I can attest to this; I've had about three Palm Treo 650 where the headset
socket eventually died.  However, I attribute this to poor design of the
socket mechanism itself.

Spefically, the very same solder joints that provide signal are the same
solder joints that mechanically anchor the socket housing to the board.
Over time, normal wear and tear causes the electrical connections to
become intermittent and fail.

Unless wiggling the plug in the socket does not stress the electrical
connections between the socket and the board, then it will eventually
fail.

I heard about this, and I must admit I'm a bit concerned.  I hope it will

 I don't think computer headsets with 3.5 mm plugs are normally very
 portable.

This is probably true, and is a good case for 2.5mm + adapter being
supplied on the next Neo.

bent beyond repair.

I vote for the 3.5.  Supporting standard headphones is more important
than being able to use a wired headset.

However, some phones (at least the ROKR E2, maybe others) have had a
3.5 jack with an extra ring, which I think is for the microphone.  If
you follow this standard, the wired headsets designed for those can
work.  You can plug in standard stereo headphones (in which case the
sleeve shorts out the microphone input) or the special wired headset
with an extra ring.

plug in my sony mdr-ex71 headphones and get perfect sound (added to this an

Anything to make it easier to connect to normal headphones, and maintain the

base4 is sleeve = shielding by definition and by design of jacks, so this is a

Our design goal is to be compatible to classic 3.5mm headphones at very first,

 This one, but with a 4-pin (stereo+mic) format that's compatible with at 
 least 1 major vendor (so that DIY means buy an adapter from a web

 See for example:

 Offtopic gripe - Bluetooth headsets are OK if they work, but so far I 
 have been unable to get my GTA01 to talk to one (it pairs, but I can't 
 get audio through it). I posted a query on device-owners and did not 
 hear any other success stories. I hope that OM has done enough QA 
 testing to guarantee that this is only a Linux software issue and that 
 the Freerunner (at least) will eventually have full BT headset support.

I still think that wired headsets are not used by anyone out there. Even if
every vendor adds a cheap wired headset to it's device I barely see anyone
using it.
Today bluetooth headsets are cheap and they are way more practical (and even
have the better microphone placing, compared to the wired clip-micros.

So I think there should be an 3.5mm to listen to music and use bluetooth for
headsets.

3.5mm definitely: there are so many decent quality phones with 3.5mm

Definitely 3.5mm. If I'd use a headset, I'd use a Bluetooth one
anyway, but for music listening I'd like to be able to use my own
headphones without adapters. Regarding 3.5mm headset standards, N800
Internet Tablet seems to have one (stereo sound + mic), but it's
probably not a standard (it says Nokia AV connector 3.5mm in the

That said, somehow hardware assisting Ogg Vorbis decoding would also

Both!

External adapters are a bad idea since it could put extra force on the jack 
socket.
They could be located very close together so you cannot connect both at the 
same time.

How about a 4-terminal 3.5mm connector as used on the iphone? It would work 
with ordinary headphones if that was all that was needed. If you want the mic 
too you get a mic adaptor like the Shure VoicePort, or a full headset.

hi,

i haven't seen a headset that worked for more then one phone-company yet.
Oh, except for the bluetooth things.But i also needed always 
special

headsets for just hearing music.

So please take 3.5mm. so i can just take every normal speaker, headset, 
etc. that lies near by me.
and with the 3.5mm i could use the phone like every other mp3 player in 
the world.


And every audio system i know has a connector for a walkman input 
but what was the other thing? 
I don't think i have ever heared of it until now.  but this is maybe 
because i always bought the false 
phones  here in germany.


i have never seen / used a 2.5mm connector in my life.
(oh thats not true i have seen one on wikipedia [1]  2 minutes ago. ;) )

Does this classis Walkman(R) connector have mic-input (which the classic

If so (or if there is a second 3.5mm for the mic) then I would say option

 2.5mm head set.

coz
1. a phone should have a headset adapter for speaker and mic.
2. blue tooth adapters are costly ($40 ) and 2.5mm headsets are $2 in India
( please focus on the relative cost, I am sure its the same elsewhere).
3. its extremely easy to make a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. but impossible to
get the mic signal out if its a 3.5mm jack. a 3.5mm headset jack with mic is
not standard

 Definitely 3.5mm. If I'd use a headset, I'd use a Bluetooth one
 anyway, but for music listening I'd like to be able to use my own
 headphones without adapters. Regarding 3.5mm headset standards, N800
 Internet Tablet seems to have one (stereo sound + mic), but it's
 probably not a standard (it says Nokia AV connector 3.5mm in the

 That said, somehow hardware assisting Ogg Vorbis decoding would also

no hardware to do that on the freerunner. :(

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread Sander van Grieken
 I still think that wired headsets are not used by anyone out there. Even if
 every vendor adds a cheap wired headset to it's device I barely see anyone
 using it.
 Today bluetooth headsets are cheap and they are way more practical (and even
 have the better microphone placing, compared to the wired clip-micros.

 So I think there should be an 3.5mm to listen to music and use bluetooth for
 headsets.

I'd rather not be forced to use bluetooth with a headset. My experience is that
bluetooth interferes with wifi (same freq. band) and you'll have another 
battery to
worry about.

As mentioned earlier, BT headsets are cheap and more comfortable in use

There's one issue though... Someone may like to listen mp3s and be able

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread Ganesha Krishna
Agree, it would be a hassle swapping your BT head set with the 3.5mm
earphones before picking up a call while say, driving, jogging, on a bike
(motored or otherwise ), or simply sunbathing on your hammock outside your
house.
   Two 3.5mm jacks, one for mic and the other for earphone is probably the
best option (considering the votes so far :-) ). The more I read Joerg's
email the more I get the feeling that this is what he is talking about. He
did suggest that one could DIY an adapter from 4  wire  2.5mm handsfree to
a  3 wire 3.5mm jack (asuming 3+1 mic jack). I can totally live with that.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread Nadav
3.5, definitely.
And continuing the earlier comment about Nokia - the N95 (and possibly other
models) has a very interesting 3.5mm connector that provides much more than
just sound.
If a 3.5mm headphones are inserted, it plays regular stereo. However it
also  accepts the more advanced connector of Nokia's provided headphones
which also have a small console to control volume,
play/stop/forward/backward, etc.. That one has 4 contact points and not 3
like in regular stereo headphones.
It even supports video playback - there is a cable that comes in the box and
uses the same connector point to output several video types.

Sometimes the phone detects the plugged device automatically (I guess if it
supports some Nokia standard), and if it doesn't recognize, it provides the
user a list of options to choose from (headphones, tv-out cable, music
stand).

Just a thought...

Just a big bunch of nerds trying to look important. None of them is listening

The *real* geeks are wearing huge closed-type stereo headsets, which you can 
find rarely in decent quality with BT. If you find you pay a fortune. Decent 
quality wired stereo headsets are much more easy to find.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread michael
	2.5mm, definitely - but *not* the 4 contact 2.5mm used on the GTA01. 
Wired headsets for phone use give *far* better quality than any bluetooth

headset I've used with the exception of maybe the jawbone. I talk about
4000 minutes/month on my phone so the convenience of being able to buy almost
any headset on the market far outweighs (for me) the convenience of using any
stereo earphones on the market. For stereo audio I'm far more likely to use
bluetooth A2DP than wired headphones.

As for how common they are, 2.5mm phone headsets are the most common by
far. After that comes the 2.5mm 4-contact headsets (which nokia used for a
long time). Then come the various proprietary connectors - but almost any
third party wired headset is available with a 2.5mm 3-contact connector.
They *do* have 3.5mm headsets, but they tend to be very large and not have as
much variety because they're designed for people to use at a desktop computer
for things like dictation or skype where size doesn't matter.

   Absolutely classic 3.5mm - a bluetooth headset is not a particularly big 
 payout these days, and certainly won't be any more so when GTA03 is released, 
 so... i'd certainly go with 3.5mm.

	The main differences would be size and price. I can buy a decent 2.5mm 
mobile headset (one earpiece + one mic) for about $10US and al of those will
fit in my pocket. The cheapest headsets for a computer (2 earpieces+one mic) 
start around $30US and are huge, since they aren't really meant to be

portable.

You can find smaller 3.5mm headsets (usually one earpiece+one mic)
designed for use in businesses, but because they're used for business they are
*very* expensive, although on the flip side they tend to be very comfortable
and have excellent sound quality. But I have no wish to spend $100 on a
headset that I'm going to carry with me everywhere I go.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread Benedikt Schindler
if i believe wikipedia, then there is also a 5 contact  version of the 
3.5mm connector.


[wiki:]
Four and five conductor versions of the 3.5 mm plug are used for certain 
applications. A four conductor version is becoming a de facto standard 
output connector for compact camcorders 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camcorder, providing stereo sound plus a 
video signal.

[end wiki]

...

i like the idea of a such an inteligent TRS connector. like it is in 
your N95.


Nadav schrieb:

3.5, definitely.
And continuing the earlier comment about Nokia - the N95 (and possibly 
other models) has a very interesting 3.5mm connector that provides 
much more than just sound.
If a 3.5mm headphones are inserted, it plays regular stereo. However 
it also  accepts the more advanced connector of Nokia's provided 
headphones which also have a small console to control volume, 
play/stop/forward/backward, etc.. That one has 4 contact points and 
not 3 like in regular stereo headphones.
It even supports video playback - there is a cable that comes in the 
box and uses the same connector point to output several video types.


Sometimes the phone detects the plugged device automatically (I guess 
if it supports some Nokia standard), and if it doesn't recognize, it 
provides the user a list of options to choose from (headphones, tv-out 
cable, music stand).


Just a thought...

This one, but with a 4-pin (stereo+mic) format that's compatible with at 
least 1 major vendor (so that DIY means buy an adapter from a web 
store rather than fire up the soldering iron).


See for example:

Offtopic gripe - Bluetooth headsets are OK if they work, but so far I 
have been unable to get my GTA01 to talk to one (it pairs, but I can't 
get audio through it). I posted a query on device-owners and did not 
hear any other success stories. I hope that OM has done enough QA 
testing to guarantee that this is only a Linux software issue and that 
the Freerunner (at least) will eventually have full BT headset support.

I think we should consider this one. I know we

GTA03 most of them could be solved. I would be
very nice to be able to send video using the 
same jack we use to send audio. 5G iPods and

This one is completely off topic. I'm talking about STEREO headSET(=with mic), 
which usually commes with 2.5mm. 
We are planning to use a 3.5mm 4-ring connector, that complies with usual 
3-ring headPHONES(=w/o mic), and I didn't see an adapter 
3.5/4wire-male-2.5-4w-receptacle yet. So you probably have to DIY, to 
use standard headSETs with future OM devices. But you get benefit of 
plug-and-play for classic Walkman(R)-headPHONES.
BTW: audio quality and versatility of this connector will be vastly improved, 
if it pans out right.

 Would it be possible to fabricate a small, conductive 1 mm thick
 sleeve that could fit flush(ly) within a 3.5 mm jack to convert it to
 a 2.5 mm jack?  Do such things exist?  This could potentially make
 everybody happy.
 

Shouldn't be impossible to make a »sleeve« like that, but i don't think
it exists. Neither does a 3.5mm jack to 2.5mm plug seem to exists, even
less imaginable is it that it would support 4 conductors (stereo +
mic). But as soon as it is reasonable to mass produce them some company
will. And in the meantime i am certain that there is some one in you
local OMG/LUG/UUG that have at least basic soldering skills.

The parts needed cost ca. 4-6€ in Denmark at the local RadioShack
(Brink Elektronik or what ever your local eletronics store is called!)

This one is completely off topic. I'm talking about STEREO headSET(=with mic), 
which usually commes with 2.5mm. 
We are planning to use a 3.5mm 4-ring connector, that complies with usual 
3-ring headPHONES(=w/o mic), and I didn't see an adapter 
3.5/4wire-male-2.5-4w-receptacle yet. So you probably have to DIY, to 
use standard headSETs with future OM devices. But you get benefit of 
plug-and-play for classic Walkman(R)-headPHONES.


I don't see how it's completely off topic as it's an example of a 
commercially-available adapter with a 4-ring 3.4mm plug (even if the 
other end of it isn't what's wanted).


I understand the benefit of plug-and-play for regular headphones - 
that's why I voted for the 3.5mm option. However I also feel that it is 
important to have at least one commercially-available headset (or 
headset+adapter) that can be used without requiring DIY cable assembly.


I don't have an iPhone, but it looks like it uses a 4-pin 3.5mm 
connector that is electrically compatible with regular 3-pin 3.5mm 
headphones (just mechanically recessed so that you have to buy 
official adapters). If that is the case, then OM might be able to use 
a non-recessed 4-bin receptacle with a compatible pinout. That way, any 
iPhone adapters or headsets could be used with the OM phone.


BTW I did a bit more searching and found another adapter that may be 
closer to what you are looking for:

A. you have to have a mic. If it were a walkman then the 3.5 makes sense but
this is a phone+.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread William Kenworthy
Since there seems to be a difference in operation between them (2.5+mic
and 3.5 without), can both be fitted?

One of the really stupid things about my treo and palm BT headset is I
cant listen to music on it - its designed to handle phone calls only -
hence its NEVER used - hope the freerunner/bt headsets in general isnt
so limited.

  3.5 mm (actually, they're labeled as 1/8 inch) and that's what my

 My old Nokia 3310 has 2.5mm for headsets. However for GTA0x2 3.5mm plug
 wold be nice, as long as standard stereo plugs work properly. Should not
 be a problem i one uses 4-pol TRRS like ===[ ground, mic, right, left

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm

2008-05-30 Thread Joerg Reisenweber
that's been my idea when I started. But obviously there's a demand for 
adapter-free 3.5 connectivity. So you probably have to use an adapter for 
headsets (with mic)[see other post]. No big thing though.

Thanks for voting

If you do choose a 4-pin 3.5mm connector to be compatible with iPhone 
(or with another major vendor), please double-check that you use the 
same pin assignments. This forum post:


http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5262651

says that the iPhone plug uses: tip=R, ring1=L, ring2=Common, sleeve=Mic 
(which is not what I would have guessed).
