Nokia Lumia :: Using Conventional Headphones With 800?
Dec 11, 2011
Is it ok to use a normal pair of headphones with the Nokia Lumia 800?
Conventional headphones have a 3.5 mm stereo jack, with three connections. The headphones supplied with the Lumia use a 3.5mm jack with four connections.
My concern is whether using the conventional jack will permanently short-out two of the connections, causing unwanted side-effects or damage to the phone?
I'd also like to use the headphone output to connect the phone to my stereo, which I presume will be fine, as long as the three v four connection jack issue isn't a problem.

At first the right channel was dropping. Seemed to be a short in the cable. Now it's gone completely. Not impressed with the quality of these.

Last night I was listening to musc on my Lumia 920. I unplugged the headphones and wnet to use the phone a few minutes later. no sound comes out tof the speakers now the headphones sill work great, but it I cannot make a call without my headset now. I know the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in, because the sounds settings allow me to adjust the equalizer (w/o headphones plugged in this option is not available).

Got my Lumia 800 and am loving it but when using earphones and playing music (so far have been using Spotify and Nokia Music) I hear an annoying hissing / white noise in the background. The noise starts just as begin to play music and stops a few seconds after pausing music. Anyone else getting the same or is my product faulty?

I'm on my second 900 now and both have had this problem. The output volume for the headphones is extremely low even at 30/30. I feel like max volume should be loud enough that I never need to use it. I find myself not even being able to hear music at 30/30 when I'm downtown or on the subway. It feels like medium volume on anything else and it seems like it should really be 20/30.
I've posted this on other forums and it seems like all the phones are the same. Can Nokia just implement a simple sofware fix for this? Its riduclous that this got through the testing phase. Do they even know about it?

I still have some from my lumia 1020 and it seems hat the controls have changed a bit. To skip a song I now have to press three times?
Was there any change in compatibility? Will other headphones now work, too? The selection has always been very limited.

I'm planing to switch to Lumia 930 from iPhone 5s, and so far, everything what i've found convinced me to make a switch except audio quality when listening to the (local) music. I just really can't find impressions from actual user about this. Many people are telling me that audio quality with in ear headphones is terrible, cant even be compared with iPhone 5s' sound quality. But honestly I doubt that it can be THAT BAD on one flagship phone.
I'm using iphone since 3g, i switched once to Galaxy S (when it was released) then after couple of months moved back to iphone, and another trip to android last year with Xperia Z but couldn't wait to get rid of android once again. Quality on both android phones was noticeably worse than on any iphone i used. I don't want to make same mistake again since listening to the music on the phone is a big thing for me.

I purchased the jbl synchros 100a. This model is lists Lumia phones as being compatible with them. Supposedly they are universal in jbl's opinion which basically means anything but apple. They aren't working for me. They work fine in my old g2.

I switched to a new bluetooth headphones and the new headphones show connected to the Icon but I am not getting sound.. I am not able to test the old headphones to see if they still have sound as they will no longer hold a charge.

I saw this elsewhere but have been unable to locate
After 8.1 update, when listening to music via wired headphones, inbound text announcement will notify me, spoken response of ignore will result in audio resuming on headphones AND back speaker concurrently.

I was wondering if any of you had this issue. I have a LUmia 1520.3 and everything works perfectly, except that if I am listening to music and I get a txt message. If that happens after the message is read and I return to the music the phone starts to play thru the speakers and the headphones.at the same time. There is a significant reduction in the volume thru the headphones but it still plays. I have tried different headphones and the problem persist over the podcast app as well.

When I use a 2.5 (who's ridiculous idea was that, anyway?) to 3.5 converter for my e71x, and have the headphones plugged in all the way, I only get audio out of the right side of the headphones. If I plug the the headphones in just before it clicks in to place, I can get audio out of both sides but since it's not fully plugged in the sound always bounces in and out. I've used multiple converters and headsets, all of which are working properly. Is this a design flaw or do I have a bad one that I need to send in for warranty repair?

Everything was working fine on my N8, but it just started to select an accessory as defult and after that is selected, it won't go back to normal.
If you connect the headphones, and they dissconect them, it keeps thinking that they are connected and the loudspeaker doesn't work, during calls I can't hear anything..
I went into settings-> phone-> accessories -> and the defult is set to headset.. but once I select headphones (which i didn't have to do before) it never goes back when I restard the phone, it shows the headphones icon, but there are no headphones connected to the phone..

After I unplugged my headphones today the headphones icon at the top right next to the battery indicator remained. when I take a call I can't hear the person on the other end unless I have headphones plugged in. Also when I play music it won't play on loudspeaker because it thinks headphones are plugged in. i should mention as well that in the past day the phone had trouble recognising when the headphones were plugged in but a quick reset fixed this previously. I've also tried 3 different pairs of headphones.
I have had this phone for 6 months and never had a problem with it before. Is this a hardware or software issue and is there a way to fix it? I've reset the phone as well as hard reset the phone a number of times.

When I am using a headset or a headphone in my N8 and someone calls me or send me a message, I can hear the tone from the headphone and from the phone speaker.So thats's my question: Is that possible to deactivate the tone of the phone speaker when I am using the headset so I can hear it only from the headset?

Few days ago, I was driving, and I connected headphones to answer the call, but did not heard any sound. The problem was not in hardware of the headphones, because, the music and video player with connected headphones works fine, and I also can hear sounds wile typing on the phone, but when answer, headphones go mute, and mic is working fine. Before that, it was working fine.

I recently brought a new nokia e52 and wantd 2 hear its music quality. I inserted my headphones pin in the jack only half not knowing that it should be fully inserted. I started playing a song but was unable 2 hear anything and it restarted automatically. I tried inserting it fully but it didnt work out until my brother showed me. I did this thrice and the phone restarted thrice. Now it goes fully into the jack. So is there a problem with my phone or is it normal coz now i can insert it fully and listen 2 my music clearly.

Anyone having problems with the n8 headphones. For 600 USD, i'm not impressed with the sound quality. The buttons do not work and it sounds like all the music is being played in a tunnel.

Just bought a Nokia E5-00. Although the sound quality is pretty good, the volume in my headphones is low for outside noise (tried 4 pairs, sennheiser, akg, iphone and the ones that came with the phone) . Is there a way to increase the volume in the headphones, or a music player that has an option like that ?

I'm looking for an adapter for the Nokia E51 that will let me plug my 3.5mm headphones into the 2.5mm jack.
I bought one, but it will only let me hear sound from one channel. I can manage it by adjusting the headphones so that they don't go all the way into the adapter, but all that does is to let me listen to the sound on that channel in both earbuds. Also, the sound sometimes cuts out in that mode.
I've done some research, and it looks like Nokia offer two adapters - the Nokia AD-61 and the Nokia HDA-11. Can anyone tell me if either of these will work for the E51 (i.e. have they tried it and found it worked)?
