2.5mm to 3.5mm Cell Phone Cable

Post by 200hr Wonder »

Hello all,

Got a new cell phone with 3.5mm Stereo/Mic output and my headset has 2.5mm Stereo/Mic as the 3.5mm jack on it is only Stereo, anyone seen a cable with 3.5mm on one end and 2.5mm on the other end that has the three channels for Mic?

The Source have tons of crap like that but you're more likely to find an adapter plug instead of a cable. Also have you heard of Bluetooth?!

Everything i have seen is only a 2pole, as in no 3pole no mic no cell phone usage.

My cell phone has blue tooth but not my headset.

I'm surprise you haven't heard of the Apple Tax yet. Anything Apple related and especially sold at a retail store mean you have to whore yourself to afford it. Next best thing is use Amazon US.

Now that is a headset.......


http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/ ... CatId=2574

Adapter for headphones.



http://cables.cablesunlimited.com/search?w=iphone

The website for cables unlimited

http://www.thesource.ca/estore/search.a ... e+Adapters

The Source (cable here is cheaper than tiger direct)

Are you planning to connect a stereo hedset (with a mic) or a mono (in one ear only)???

Because if these stores don't have them I think you'll have to start trolling Ebay (Chinese sellers) for what you are looking for.

There are cheap bluetooth stereo headsets (with mic) out there.

http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/cell- ... 27/prd/us/

Here is a Phillips model that was on sale for 14.99 at Factory direct recently....

But to answer your question: No I have not seen something like this.

And deflux:

Are you referring to this?

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/prodde ... 277&catid=

Because this goes from 3.5mm (headphones) to 2.5 mm cellphone and 200hr wonder wants 2.5mm (headphone/mic) to 3.5mm cellphone.
