Almost 5-stars but not quite... April 4, 2008
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This would of been a 5 star item...
The PROS:
1) It supports 3.5mm stereo adapter for your own after market head/earphones.
2) It also supports a usb sync/power adapter so you can charge/sync while listening to your audio
This adapter just simply works; plug in a good pair of head/earphones and use TCPMP (adjust equalizer to your liking) and voila, instant MP3 player for your HTC device (HTCS621 for me). The audio quality is actually quite good and comparable to your iPod, PSP, ZUNE (2nd gen) and of course the iPhone. In fact, using the HTC device (with windows mobile and TCPMP), you can adjust the sound equalizer to truly bring out the best audio compared to ALL the devices listed above. With this device, it really makes the HTC device a true multimedia power house.
THE CONS:
NO way to SPEAK to your party when making voice calls. Audio gets piped thru to your headphones that are connected to the 3.5mm jack however outgoing voice cannot be heard by your party since there's NO MIC (obvious). SPEAKER PHONE DOES NOT WORK while this adapter is plugged in. Alternative is to use an external mic such as the HTC included mic/earphone but you cannot plug it in since the stock HTC mic/earphone plug orientation does not fit the mini-usb on the semson adapter. You are left to unplug the semson adapter to use your phone (for voice conversations). This is a slight problem and the other problem is that even though the adapter is quite small and portable, you could still lose it if you unplug it. Another "adapter" to carry along with your device unless you leave it plugged in all the time (which is still bulky even on the slim HTCS621).
The bottom line:
I was looking around for such a device for the longest time (ebay sold some really poor quality items). I gave this adapter a shot and it paid off.
The adapter is necessary if you wish to use higher quality head/earphones than the stock HTC included set while having an added benefit of an external power source while listening to audio. But if only HTC is smart enough to include a 3.5mm jack, there would be no need for this device!
My recommedation is to BUY IT. It's worth the $ and shipping costs. You won't regret it. Buy it either from SEMSON's own website (google semson usb 3.5mm adapter). It's $1 cheaper ($4.99) but you have to pay a $2.50 shipping fee.
 A must have for HTC phone owners! August 30, 2007

This is the first accessory I've bought for my phone (Cingular 8525) that I haven't been disappointed with. It works great, so much better than the ones that hang off the bottom begging to get bent/broken off. Plus it lets you charge your phone while listening, perfect for the car!
Reasonable price, I was a touch concerned that I wasn't buying it directly from Amazon but it arrived the *day after* I placed the order!
Best Headphone Adapter Yet November 21, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've tried several headphone adapters for my 8525 and so far, this one is the best. No problems with lose connections. It's surprisingly unobtrusive, even when sticking the phone on my pocket. It's a little smaller then it looks in the online pictures and it fits the size of the phone well. You can still get the stylus out with the adapter plugged in, but you have to unplug it to hit the soft reset pin hole. It also obscurs the IR port and the phone microphone, but those haven't been an issue for me.
Works with Sprint Mogul 3.35 April 3, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am successfully using this adapter to connect a Sprint Mogul (with ROM version 3.35.651.2) to a stereo headset. However, there is a trick to it. I can consistently reproduce positive results when I unplug the 3.5mm minijack from the adapter, unplug the adapter from the device, begin playing music, plug in the adapter and then finally plug the minijack into the adapter.
Simply plugging everything together and going for it does not seem to work for me. Also, once everything is working correctly and I change input (from one internet radio station to another for instance), things stop working. Since this port is intended to be used with a microphone headset, my guess is that the device fails when it can't find the microphone on a regular stereo headset. I have duplicated failed and successful results with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and with several different stereo headsets.
All that to say that it appears that this adapter is perfectly well constructed and works as advertised. Experienced difficulties might have more to do with the phone than with the adapter.
UPDATE: Other reviews here seem to lend credence to the idea that the lack of a mic on the headset is part of the culprit. For instance, see X. Gao's comments on B. Darling's post here:

 Works as advertised; a little much, though November 26, 2007

This product is a nice cheap accessory that does one thing and does it well. However, it does add quite a bit of bulk to your mobile device (8525 for me, but I assume the adapter will work with a Blackberry or Motorola phone, too), so it's not something you'll necessarily have attached all the time. My 8525 won't even fit in my leather case while the adapter is on. That said, it's still the best way to use a quality set of headphones with your phone and still keep it charging.
