The pinout of Nokia Phones is known to use the Nokia-wired-conectivity standard?, which is:

  • Tip: left speaker/stereo or main speaker/mono
  • 2: microphone and button (low resistance to ground on press)
  • 3: right speaker/stereo or not connected/mono
  • Base: ground

This pinout is not compatible to Neo. To use Nokia headphones you have to rewire them swapping Tip and 3.

The following sections describe the modifications made to diferent models of headsets by its owners.
