This stereo adapter allows me to use a regular 3.5mm mini-plug headphone and the adapter then has a male 2.5mm micro plug that goes into my PDA phone. Product works fine.

You'll need something like this to listen to MP3s on your Palm. I'm not sure why they made Palms incompatible with regular headphones - oh, perhaps so they could get an extra $10 off you. It works like it's supposed to. Kinda weird hanging off my phone though.
Be careful you don't damage your headset jack [Posted on 2008-05-06]
Doesn't matter if it was made by Palm or not.
If I were you, I wouldn't use it on a Treo 650 - except temporarily for testing purposes.
Frankly, the audio jack on the Treo 650 is a known weak point. And it can break in a way that permanently silences the phone's built-in earphone.
If you want to read more about this, just Google "treo jack".
This L-shaped adapter can apply too much leverage on that little 2.5 mm jack. I you want a demonstration, go borrow an adapter, plug it in, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Better get the type with a flexible cord. Sure, that kind eventually gets flakey - but it's cheaper to replace an adapter than to get your phone repaired.
It's OK... [Posted on 2008-06-13]
It's ok. It works. I'd recommend getting the Insten adapter instead. I use it with my Centro and it's the best adapter I've found.
It works [Posted on 2008-06-15]
This "stereo headphone adapter" takes 3.5mm female 3-conductor (stereo, same as most headphones) to 2.5mm male 3-conductor (stereo, same diameter as the Treo 600, 700 series jacks). The Treo's jack is actually a 4-conductor (two stereo audio out, one mono audio in (for microphone), one ground), but this adapter just ignores the mono in conductor. Altogether, this allows your Treo audio out (but not audio in) to work with standard headphones. Yeah.
As previous reviewers have said, the product works and has good sound quality, but the form factor is flawed. The adapter's rigid design puts a lot of pressure on it and on your Treo's jack when it's in use. It would be better if it had a short, flexible cord between the male and female ends.
