3.5mm to 2.5mm jack for Nokia phone

[junkiedogg]

Hello,
I have a Nokia 3110 classic. Its headset has been long lost. I used to have a couple of music players. One of those which had a rechargeable battery no longer gets charged and the other one runs on AAA size cells which run out pretty fast. Its also got some problems with its keys.

So I have some podcasts I want to listen to. Sure I can sit in front of the computer and do it, but running an HD4870 for listening to podcasts is not exactly economic!

So I want to connect my "normal" headsets with 3.5mm jack to the 2.5mm slot in my phone. I found a couple of them on ebay, the cheapest costing Rs.45 + Rs. 30 s/h = Total of Rs. 75.

Is it really worth Rs. 75 ? I mean, like its just a small piece of plastic with some metal inside it. Ok, I know that an iPod would also match that description . But in this case, its only a plastic casing with some 3 conductors inside right?

Would it cost less if bought locally?

The product at the link you have posted may not work and you may get audio in only 1 side. The Nokia 3110 2.5 jack looks different.

Better buy locally after checking with your phone.

Does this adapter decrease the quality of music in any way...??

 

[mjumrani]

if it works properly then no.

i used a jack for my old 6500 slide. only one headphone worked. dunno y

 

[harryneopotter]

i have bought it once to use Creative EP630 with nokia 5200 EM, and that combo was better than SE W810 with its default earphones. So its nt that bad ....

@NOS007 :
I bought it from Palika Bazaar, but u can buy from Nehru Place, Gaffar Market etc (whichever is easily accessible to u) ...

Can someone recommend good earphones for my Nokia E66? I have a audio 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio connector and use samsung earphones.The quality is nice but the call quality sucks.I am thinking of Nokia EH-701.It has forward/backward, Play/pause and call switch.but it's 3.5mm.

Is this combination good?
