I was looking for the technical term because I would like to purchase that item alone. :)
Question answered!
Normal headphones use a 1/8 inch mini plug.
That’s a thick plug >_>
Aren’t those the ones that studio producers use?
I’m just talking ipod type :D
iPod uses 1/8. The bigger ones on high end stuff are ¼.
Is 1/8 the same as 3.5mm?
The very tip of a TRS connector (or audio jack) up to the insulating ring is called… the tip, followed by the “ring” and the “sleeve”.
And yes, the 1/8” mini-jack is the name for it here in America.
