Can I use a domestic 3.5mm headphone set?

Q. The stereo headset supplied with my Nokia smartphone isn't bad for listening to music on the go, but when I'm in a quiet environment (like my boat or caravan) I'd like to use my own set of professional headphones. Can the two be plugged together?

A. Yes, you can adapt the standard Nokia Pop-Port to accept normal headphones by using Nokia's new Audio Adapter AD-15. This plugs into the Pop-Port and provides a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone socket. There is one slight catch, though. Even though you may not have ever tried this feature, the standard (supplied) HDS-3 headset includes a microphone and call answering/terminating button. So if a call comes in, you just press the button and talk away. The AD-15 doesn't include a microphone, so you need to unplug the adapter in order to make or receive a phone call. Still, if you're out to relax with some music, you probably don't want to be bothered with incoming calls anyway!
