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 On 6/17/08, Dotan Cohen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2008/6/17 Mike Hodson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I also vote for the 4 conductor 3.5mm jack.

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.

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.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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. On Friday 30 May 2008, Joerg Reisenweber wrote: Hi community!

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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.

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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 Thanks -GK PS: I cannot get rid of this pesky warm feeling every time I see Openmoko out do themselves with all this openness nonsense, common, be a man and just take some random decisions will you (tongue in cheek). -- Forwarded message -- From: Joerg Reisenweber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: community@lists.openmoko.org Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 08:18:16 +0200 Subject: 2.5mm or 3.5mm Hi community!

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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.

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).

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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).

Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm
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. - Michael On Fri, 30 May 2008, Thomas Zimmermann wrote: 2.5mm.

Re: normal headphones vs movile headphones?? Was Re: 2.5mm or 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. - Michael On Fri, 30 May 2008, David Samblas Martinez wrote: Whats the difference between normal headphones vs movile headphones?, did you mean mobile headset(2 earspeakers+mic)? --- El vie, 30/5/08, Thomas Zimmermann lt;[EMAIL PROTECTED]gt; escribi??: De: Thomas Zimmermann lt;[EMAIL PROTECTED]gt; Asunto: Re: 2.5mm or 3.5mm Para: List for Openmoko community discussion lt;community@lists.openmoko.orggt; Fecha: viernes, 30 mayo, 2008 11:50 2.5mm.

Agree about the extra battery issue, but I have to agree with Thomas wired headsets no longer seem to be a fashion accessory in wide use, whereas BT cyborgs are all over the shop like a bad episode of Dr Who. - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg/4/IACgkQOjLpvpq7dMoOvwCfd1LW7aWK/nUlUfjslvSW4SIv 0uIAn1U8NpXr7OvJN2L59hN8HlYKdcGg =vRmY -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

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.

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: http://www.mac-pro.com/iPhone-Handsfree-Stereo-Adapter-3-5mm-White_2 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
