A Caveat on the Headphone Adapter for the Treo
Treo Today mentioned my review for the headphone adapter for my Treo 650.
There was a comment from a reader at the end of the review:
“WARNING – These straight earbud adaptors are very dangerous for the Treo. The slightest torque or pressure on the adaptor will damage the earbud receptor in the Treo. I know this for a fact as I destroyed mine (broke the adaptor off in the Treo, shattered the receptor, and had to get a new Treo). If you want to listen to MP3’s get an earbud set made to fit the Treo, and make sure it’s a short “L†shaped connector. Word to the wise.â€
I haven’t had that trouble, but I can easily envision it happening with my clumsy nature. I guess I’m going to go find a “L†shaped connector like the one Amazon sells.
