stereo headphones

one thing that really pisses me off with the n80 is the inability to skip tracks using the button on the hs-23 headset that comes with the fone, on my 6280 this worked a treat. does any one know if this will be fixed with the next firrmware up grade. Can any one recommend a head set for the n80 where all the functions work, i have read so many conflicting reports with what the nokia website will work and what actually does. i have seen the wired digital dispay headset on ebay for about £22 quid, and they look cool but i dont want to waste my cash if all i can do is turn the volume up and down, i may aswell stick with what i have.

does it allow you to skip tracks etc? do all functions work,? you couldn't post the model number could you. Also, can you use it as a hands free or do you have to remove before you can ansa the call

cheers

I don�t have an N80! I write based on things I read across the time. But, do a look in Nokia Site, and You find the reference of acessories about N91.

i use headset AD-41, it works perfect with n80, its got play/pause, stop, FF, next/REW back and vol up n down, also thers a 3.5 mm headfone socket on it to connect ur own head set

cheers again biggzy, managed to order a set off ebay �8 inc postage for HK, that seems like a bargain 😉

£8 is a bargain, pait £10 for mine, lol also lads check out the N80 CRYSTAL CASE, theyr on ebay for around £3, v nice! 😃 btw deano1976 u mite want to use ur own haed set with the AD-41 as the ones that come with it are poor!

Jabra 620s is a stereo bluetooth? Because if it is, Nokia N80 doesn�t support the Stereo Bluetooth profile!

Is the AD-41 better than the AD-15 adapter that you get with the N80?

The adapter seems a bit tempremental and you have to keep tweaking the 3.5mm jack plug around sometimes to get decent sound!

EDIT

Anyone tried one of these:-

yes the AD-41 is better than the 1 u get with n80, the 1 in the box has no audio controls, the AD-41 has a longer wire and has audio controls and stil has the 3.5mm socket built in for use with ur own headfones!

OK mate cheers....does the actual 3.5mm socket seem less tempremental on the AD-41 compared to the AD-15 though?

I've ordered one of those cheap adapters from ebay i've linked above and also some quality Sennheiser CX300 headphones.

The one that comes with N91 is AD-36, and is just GREAT😎 But only alf can be used in other phones. Because half of them is only for N91, because is not a por-port conection!

yep the AD-41 is built v gud, the 3.5mm socket has no probs at all unlike the audio adaptor!
