Y Adapter / Splitter For Headset
 

Does anyone know where I can get a Y-adapter or -splitter in order to plug a headset with separate earphone and microphone plugs into an N800? The N800 side needs a 4-conductor 3.5 mm plug just like the stock headset has and the other end needs two 3.5 mm or 2.5 mm jacks, one stereo and one microphone.

I live in the USA but I'm so desperate that I'd pay postage from Antarctica :eek: to get one!

Thanks

I'm interested in that one, but has anyone tested and verified that it actually works on an N800? From what I read on the dev. mailing list it sure didn't look trivial to make a working splitter by hand..

I confirm that it does work fine on my N800. Tested e.g. with Skype (full duplex) and Maemo Recorder. Mike and headphone connectors are not marked so you need to try 2 times in the worst case.

Hey! Thanks for the link! :)

Well piffle. I got all excited over that little gizmo until I saw it was out of stock at Seidio (and has been for some time). I need the adapter ASAP so I googled it up on expansys-usa.com and ordered it. Or so I thought.

The package I received shows part number ADA-XDA325MY35F, which is the 3.5mm splitter, but what I got was a connector with a 2.5mm male plug, 3.5mm female receptacle, and a built-in mike. Looks nothing like the photo.

This is what I wanted: https://www.seidioonline.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=349

This is what I got: https://www.seidioonline.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=300 or https://www.seidioonline.com/index.a...ROD&ProdID=517 ...not sure which.

I left Expansys a comment, but I'll have to contact their support to get this swapped.

*sigh*

Moral: be careful ordering these things!!! :(

The one I got from the original link (seido, splitter for IPAQ) is good though. Too bad if they're out of stock. Hopefully you'll get it sorted out.

Just got an email back from expansys (note: use returns@expansys-usa.com
for products purches in the US, not the other address shown by expansys, us-returns@expansys-usa.com).

We'll see how it plays out.

BTW, products still out of stock at Seidio, and I cannot find another source. :(

Oops, turned out I had the wrong part number as well! Not sure how that happened. Expansys still messed up regardless, but I'm sure glad I caught my mistake before I reordered! The Seidio part is ADA-IP6335MY35F. Seidio has them back in stock, but their cart refuses to accept my order...

*sigh 2*
