Yes it has a 3.5 mm to use with mobile. Idk about comparing them to A50 I don't have them but they are also in different price range so could make a fair comparison.

The headphones actually have a 2.5mm jack for plugging into the Xbox controller...you would need an adaptor or the right cable o connect them to a cell phone...fyi, it comes with a 2.5mm audio cable. But you need you would still need the adaptor(i.e. 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male). Also, it's a Mini USB port for charging, not a micro USB port.As for comparing these, I haven't tried out the A50, definitely better than the A30...but Astro made these headphones, too...with the intent of giving them as much sound quality as possible. At least these headphones don't distort if the volume or bass goes too high.

The headset is self only has a micro USB port for charging. The wireless base has a 3.5 mm jack. This means the base needs a power source (wall plug), but can be used with a mobile device. Just not very practical for mobile use. I've never used a50, so I can't compare them.

Sorry for the late reply. The answer is yes, it has a 3.5 mm minijack and it comes with an adapter to 6.3 mm jack. I'm using it for music at home. It closes out noises and other disturbance whilst listening to music. It doesn't pick up static noise like some noise cancelling phones does. It has a crystal clear sound and a volume control. I suppose it can be used for other purposes too, but I was looking for a pair of headsets that is keeping the noise out without having to use batteries and an active noise cancellation system. I would say that this headset is serving my purpose.

Jason, This just takes the regular headphones and uses built in mic on SBH50, sorry but you can hook up a mic headset, but it will NOT use that mic, as it will ignore the mic pin, in your headset. Thanks!

The handsets have a single 2.5mm audio jack for a headset and mic. The base unit does not have an audio port.

Hi There. Yes, you can use this with a 2.5mm headset jack. You'll need to purchase an adapter which we sell through our website. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Yes it does have a headset jack standard 2.5mm for LAN lines/IpPhones. But not a regular 3.5mm jack like an MP3 player would have. Hope this answers your question.

It's the regular 3.5 mm headphone jack like what you would use for a smart phone. I suppose you might be able to use a handheld if you found one with a 3.5mm jack or use an adapter with it. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on this one again. It turns your voice into Darth Vadar and comes out totally robotic. If you can, spend the money on an Aker Voicebooster. They are great quality and the one they sell for $40 would be 10X better, though the $70-80 ones are the super heavy duty ones that sound more like a bullhorn.

Any 3.5mm plug headset we've used has worked. The blue tooth headset only works for answering calls or getting the next available line, it does not let you select lines.

Yes it has a 3.5 mm as the default size. You won't need the adapters also the adapters do not work well and the microphone gets fuzzy. I just bought another of these things they are great but the microphone boom does break if you sit on them a few times.

The phone I bought came with the a headset (the ear plug kind). What I would want is to use regular headset with the standard jack 2.5mm. I could not find any such headphone with the mini usb attachment. However I did find an converter (search EMU to 2.5mm converter on ebay) that I could probably use. I checked Motorola website and they are sold out of these adapters.I wish the mp3 player would work with the BT headset. That would be awesome.

The headset like this that I purchased has a 3.5mm jack AND it came with an adapter that converted from 3.5mm to 2.5mm. I have had people complain they hear echoing when I am on a conf. call (and I do have to use the adapter for my desk phone) but for the price, this is a decent headset.

Hi Jewel,Yes the 2.5mm works perfectly, if you get a 3mm there is an adapter available on Amazon or Radio Shack but if your phone calls for a 2.5 this headset will work very well. I'm an executive recruiter and wear the thing from 9 am to 4 pm and it's light, comfortable and doesn't break (I'm hard on head sets... really hard believe me on that one.) I would buy again, and probably will before summer, after I drop it on my chair and I sit on it, or jam it in a drawer without looking or one of the office cats chews on the wires. Hope this helps.Mike DesmondCincinnati OH

Yes! It's one of the best features I like about this phone system. However, note that it is a 2.5mm plug (smaller than most cell phones), so be sure to find a headset with the correctly sized plug. There are some 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapaters, but I've had mixed luck with them.

It comes with a standard 3.5mm computer jack. You will need an adapter if you wish to use it in a standard 1/4" aviation audio input (if you're a pilot, or just listening to the comms radio.) However, these are not pilot headphone - so if that's your aim, do not get these.If you're just a passenger on a commercial plane, this headset will be just fine. All passengers should have standard 3.5mm audio jacks near their seat for entertainment.

Yes, I use a headset all the time (2.5 mm). I have the Panasonic KX-TCA430 Comfort-Fit, Foldable Headset. I like it because the headband and microphone are both adjustable, and it has a volume control and a mute button. Very convenient, comfortable and easy to use. I highly recommend it.
