Hello all,
I am contemplating buying a BO earset 1 to be used on my iphone5. But a brief run through the web shows discouraging result - not compatible.
Is this still correct or there's a way to go around this problem? I do like the BO earset design.
Appreciate all your feedbacks.
cheers.
So, there's no going around the issue then..? BO earset1 is NOT compatible with iphone5..sigh
I have a few of those. I could give it a try with my Galaxy S4.

Great... If you don't mind, where can I get the adapter and what' s for? Adapter to convert some codes or etc?
Pardon me for my ignorant here.. thanks.
Hi Leslie,
I read that the earset1 have no issues with other phone types....except..iphone5..sigh.. How true, I am not sure.
Okay, I understand now.

Hello Iano,
Thanks. Your information is very helpful. I have a clearer picture of what's not compatible. The jack's dimension.
Now my quest is to find a local store that have the adaptors mentioned.
Hi,
i am using earset 1 with iphone and ipad.
finding an adapter was a bit tricky, I think the issue is that the iphone/ipad has that funky 4 connection layout on the jack to support stereo headphones and the mic not just stereo headphones. If you just take a simple 2.5 to 3.5 adapter that may not support the micro ...
I was able on my 3 rd try to find one that worked, maybe check with your B&O dealer
cheers

Hi.. thanks for your info.. I am trying to find the adapter over here. It will be a lot of leg and finger walking to come. I do hope to find one soon..
Exceptional ! Thanks for the info. I ordered one through the store.
Thanks and happy new year !
TTY adapter is the way to go, however eith iphone 5 the apple one sticks out too much, would recommend one with short cable or an angled one.
Cheers

Hi JK, thanks for the feedback. I have yet to receive the jack and is eager to try the BO out on my ip5. I do notice the somehow longer TTY jack by Apple but I willing to give it a try until I manage to find one that is a bit subtle. Nevertheless , all your opinions and suggestions have been great and appreciated.
Once I have them on, I will feedback the results.
Many thanks
a try
Just curious here; but did any of you go the route of replacing the 2.5mm plug with an 3.5mm plug instead of using a bulky adapter? Asking since I found this thread after posing the same question in this thread.
I bought and using the TTY jack now for my B&O with my Iphone5S. No problem or any noise distortion.
Great.
