Headset specifications
Your Treo uses a 2.5mm, 3-pin headset connector. Your Treo works with
headsets that are designed for this type of connector. When in doubt, ask
the third-party headset manufacturer if their product is compatible with Treo
phones. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your
headset may be incompatible with Treo.
