After both Verizon Wireless first and second tier support, and even Palm support told me<\/a> that the Palm Treo 700w<\/a> must not support stereo – which, of course, doesn’t sound conclusive – I heard from both internal distribution lists and external forums that the Treo does, in fact, support stereo sound and that some headsets – like the one I was recommended at the Verizon Wireless store – do not switch impedance<\/a> to indicate to the Smartphone to switch into stereo mode.<\/p>\n

I can definitively inform you that the Palm Treo 700W has a 4-pin 2.5 mm jack that is capable of outputting stereo.

Of course, other manufacturers make compatible stereo headphones – some with dual function to service as a hands-free headset with the click of a button. The approach recommended to me elsewhere is to get the Palm Treo Stereo Headphone Adapter<\/a> so that you can use the more common 3.5mm stereo headphones, which is likely what I’ll do.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
