O2/T-Mobile/AT&T SX56 Handsfree/3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adapter
"This adapter converts the proprietary 4 conductor Pocket PC Phone Jack to a 3.5mm standard stereo headphone jack while enabling the internal microphone. The adapter cable is approximately 3" long. It can also be used to convert the iPAQ 1900 series 2.5mm jack to a 3.5mm stereo output jack."

$12.50 each + shipping? Ouch. FYI, there is also this for $3.25 (doesn't enable the internal mic as far as I know, but provides 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter functionality):
From http://www.pc-mobile.net/compaq.htm.
Because of the minimum credit card price, we did a group order (setup in a Brighthand thread). One guy ordered, kept one, and mailed the other adapters to the rest of us. We reimbursed him for the adapter, shipping, and his Paypal fees, which came to a total of $6.50 for each of us.
Search Brighthand and/or Ebay... I think one of the Brighthand guys ordered in bulk and is auctioning them off.

Well, I bought this adapter (not the 1910 version you got) from PC-Mobile. It's just started to flake out on me, though, to the point where I now have to twist it to get both ears working.  I tied it tightly together in a weird twisted way, and it works for the moment, but I'd be curious to know if this one is more durable than the PC-Mobile version.
In any case, the Techs do a lower-quantity, custom production, so that might also explain why they're more expensive.

A 2.5mm jack is proprietary? It's actually the standard for all mobile phones, so I wouldn't call it proprietary...
Or is there something special about the one on the xda?

You're right, proprietary is the wrong word here. A more approriate term would be "those pain in the ass 2.5mm plugs that your normal headphones won't fit in". The end result is the same. :wink:

It is a good adapter, but only for h1910/15/20.
All ipaq h193x/194x has a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter in package.

I think so, proprietary is the wrong word here. 2.5 mm is standard same as 3.5mm. They are popular in different area.
