Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

Hello everyone, let's put together a list of headphones compatible with the Nokia N900. It can be any type of headphones(wired/wireless, etc.), as long as you know for a fact that they work (or don't work) well with the N900.

If you have personal experience with certain models, feel free to write a short review.

The goal of this thread is to help everyone who is choosing/looking for headphones to go with their Nokia N900.

I will update the list regularely.

100% Compatible (no issues):
Grados SR80i
Senheiser MX560
Skullcandy S2INCZ-036
Sony MDRXB40EX
Sony MDRXB400

Er, I'm curious as to what headphone won't work?

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

This might be stupid 'question' but how could they not work with n900? I believe those headphones are quite standard stuff? Only difference could be those ones with microphone?

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

Well, some wireless headphones could have some problems and may not be fully compatible or some headphones with microphone could also have issues. That is why your input is needed, so we can put this together, find out and recommend a list of those that really do work. Or if people just want to ask, they can ask here, hopefully also with an answer if they're not sure. I hope that makes sense.

:)

Yeah - the headSET (where there are problems) thread is already elsewhere. There are general audio issues with the N900 (I have a question on that I'll ask elsewhere) but there shouldn't be any issues with headPHONES.

Grados SR80i for the audiophiles out there... although you'll want to be playing flac files or 256kbit or higher mp3s to appreciate the quality of these headphones.

I actually use them without an amp... and they work beautifully, although I am sure with the support of a portable amp they would be even better.

the default ipod earphones DONT work!!! D: well at least the ones with the little volume control thingo on the cord.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

The thread is needlessly confusing: HeadPHONES work. HeadSETs usually don't.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

i'd rather know why the stock n900-headphones dont work with most other devices?!
i know its because this ~2mm socket at their base, but why is that? it prevents the jack from entering any device completely, resulting in faulty sound on any device i've tried (samsung laptop, ipod nano 5th, creative zen). basically just like when you take "normal" headphones and dont insert them completely.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

I have tried the headsets from the nokia 5310 and 1616 and both works very well.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

my home phone has a 2mm port and i can use nokia earphones with it :) and they work.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

The following works:
Shure E3C
Shure E4C
Shure E500
Shure E530
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7

To be honest, I think all the standard 3.5mm audio headphones, earbuds, IEMs...they all work.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

Koss Porta Pro, Sennhieser PX200-II works while ZAGG Z-buds Smart Buds...do not work :( !

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

Works
Grado SR60i
Grado SR80i
Grado SR125i


beats by dre are trash

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

um, wouldnt the answer be any headphone with 1/8" T-R-S? aka all of them?

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

Every one that I have ever tried has worked for me. Better start a list of all that don't work.

Re: Headphones compatible with N900 [List thread]
 

The ones that come with the nexus one are *not* compatible: you have to take them slightly out of the connector to work properly :S
