A lot of HTC devices have only a special micro USB port for charging cables and headphones. Special headphones are mandatorys. Regular headphones are only usable with a special adapter.
The bended adapter doesn’t bother at all.
The device even displays the symbol for an attached adapter.

An additional disadvantage of the HTC USB adapter is the impossibility to attach an earphone and a charging cable at the same time. But there is a solution as well:
With this adapter it is possible to attach a charging cable and an eraphone at togehter – a little LED notifies if the device is charging.
Unfortunately it is not possible to use both adapters together as the bended adapter blocks the other port.
When attaching a normal USB cable instead of the charging one data exchange with a PC is possible.
In my opinion both cables must be shipped with a HTC device which uses such an USB port… but well….
Both adapters can be purchased via USB Fever:
Audio Jack to 3.5mm Plug Adapter for G1 / HTC (Right Angle): $4,99
HTC 2-in-1 USB Audio & Charger Adapter for HTC ExtUSB Smartphone: $8.99

Hi,
actually, it is neither – it is HTCs custom standard called ExtUSB.
All the best
