Wired headsets and adaptors
Hi all,

Firstly, I know people have had trouble finding adaptors to plug in headsets to the x50/1s. Seidio had 2 great adaptors: one converted from the 3.5mm to 2.5mm so normal phone headsets would work; and the other split into a seperate headphone and mic plug so standard computer headsets would work.


Now, assuming we can find thoes adaptors, what are good headsets for Skype? I think wired headsets would be best (can anyone give a good reason for going BT?) and stereo makes things much easier to hear. I'm either going to go with the Jabra C220s or a normal PC headset. I tried another headset and the mic was too bad to use. Has anyone tried any wired stereo headsets?

I know you are talking about the Belkin adapters, but the ones by Seidio and Pc Mobile are also options:

As well, Seidio makes a wired stereo headset that works great with Skype:

There are reviews of this headset plus the Seidio adapters here:

I guess you didn't have this problem.

Did you try the headphones with other programs (e.g., recording in Notes)? If it the mic doesn't work in any program then you should let Seidio know.
