in fact I have had to do that on a headset I got for my Wife's Samsung A800.

I do not understand why these companies keep making the headphone port recessed. Make the blasted port flush with the case so that people can use ANY headset they damn well please! For $600.00 you expect to be able to use your $100.00 Bose earbuds!]]>Jun 30th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/
Yes, lets ruin the warranty on my $500 Shures by shaving off some of the manufacture code containing plastic sheath. ]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/Jun 30th 2007 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/
Anyway, who really cares? The iphone probably has shitty capacitors, OpAmps, and a crapy DAC just like the crappy ipods.

So to reiterate from other posts, I will be sticking with my Cowon iaudio X5, and getting a Mogul or i760 when they come to Verizon.

Excuse me for caring about sound and functionality over style.]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/
You trim the plastic off of the headphones, NOT the iPhone.

And the headphones will not notice 1/32" of removed plastic 1/16" up the connector. You just need to shave off the smallest bit to allow headphones to fit.]]>Jun 30th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/

It is also possible that this will ultimately improve the strength of plugs and jacks that adopt this design. If the plastic part of the plug fits perfectly in the countersunk portion of the jack there might be much less chance of damaging the delicate, springy connector thingies inside.

However, they're also selling a Belkin adapter that achieves the same goal, which actually is $9.95. Guess someone got the pricing on the adapters mixed up.

so it might be possible for them to do this and not get their asses sued off. of course they could be dragged into court and it might bankrupt them to defend themselves against apple's lawyers up until the demur when the case might get thrown out of court. ]]>Jun 30th 2007 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/Jun 30th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/Jun 30th 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/Jun 30th 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/Jun 30th 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-doesnt-work-with-most-3rd-party-headphones/
Very irritating, but to be honest, I didn't buy the iPhone to listen to music, I've already got an iPod with much more space. I am dropping music on the iPhone, but it's more for short periods of boredom. For long-term listening, I drop the Sennheiser's on the big iPod and go to town. The Shure's are for the nano/Nike+ for exercise.

My question is this, will they release an adapter that will plug into the headphone port, then have a clicker (like on the supplied headphones) that you can use to a) plug into the port and b) add the remote capabilities.

Kind of like they included with the 3G iPods, where the headphones plugged into the short remote cable, which clipped on your jacket/shirt/etc.]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:46PM
