Hi. I purchased a Star Note i9220 n9000 a few months ago and I wanted to plug in new headphones. The headphones that came with the phone fit the jack perfectly and I can hear out of it just fine but when I plug in different headphones, the plug is too short and the jack is too long. Does anyone know where I can purchase an adapter or headphones with a longer 3.5mm plug? I also posted a picture to compare. Notice how the one on the right is a little longer and has 3 ridges instead of two.

No that is not the picture of the earphones, but if it's made by the same company then they should use the same jack and headphones. I bought my phone off Amazon, just look up Star Note n9000. Normal 3.5mm headphones have plugs that are too short, the headphones that came with the phone are still 3.5mm but they are a bit longer. So I need help finding an adapter or headphones that have the special longer plug. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Yes, I know it isn't compatible. That's why I'm trying to find headphones that are compatible with my phone or an adapter that can make it compatible.
Hope This Helps!!

Hey guys, I'm giving up on trying to find headphones that work with my phone. I'll just buy a wireless, bluetooth one now.
Update: I changed my mind, i'm not giving up on trying to find compatible headphones for my phone.
normally 3.5 is 3.5, but from the way it looks these are more like 3.6 or 3.7 so it looks like they have their own headphone type or something

I'm pretty sure that the 3.5mm is the diameter instead of the length. So both of the headphone plugs in the picture are 3.5mm. It's just that the one on the right's length is a little longer than the other one. I really need help trying to find an adapter for this or finding some other headphones with the longer plug. I also figured out what the three rings/ridges on the other plug meant. The third ring is for the microphone. So I tried to find earbuds with a microphone, although i am not sure if all earbuds with microphones have a plug that's longer than standard earbuds.
Hey guys i found some earbuds that might work with my phone.

I am not entirely sure if these will work with my phone but they have the three ridges on the plug that my current headphones have. Please notify me if you don't think these will work or if you think they will.

Not really needed.
The short one: 3.5mm 2 (or 3) conductor stereo jack (TRS - Tip ring sleeve)
The long one: 3.5mm 4 conductor stereo + mic jack (TRRS - Tip ring ring sleeve)
So, all in all, just look on the net for TRRS to TRS adapter. Should run you 10$ at most. They're a bit rare but hey you'll be able to use any headphones with any stereo jack.

both of these types should be the same size, and most phones are compatible with both types, so an adapter shouldn't be neccesary.

Nope. You're wrong.
Edit: I think Apple uses a TRRS connector that is the same size, but that's pretty much the only exception, because surprise surprise it's Apple.

Ok....I've fought with finding an adapter to go from 2.5mm to 3.5mm for ages now. Everything I've read indicates it needs to be 4 pole etc etc....I'm aware of that. However, every one I've tried is still producing mono output. For kicks, I've tried the following ALL with mono results:
-Blackberry Pearl stereo headset
-RadioShack catalog #274-004 3/32" to 1/8" Stereo Headset adapter (why wouldn't this work?)
-Just Wireless 08351 Stereo Adapter 2.5mm to 3.5mm from (Target/BestBuy)
-BodyGlove Stereo Sport Headset 7489401 (BestBuy)
Now, when I say these produce mono output, what I'm really saying is that there is only one channel of audio whatsoever...the other earpiece is totally silent.
Anyone had any luck finding something at a retailer without ordering online? I'll order if I have too though. Thanks.

remeber google is your friend!
(btw, this is a 4 pole connector, the reason why all they othere ones youve tried doesnt work is cause they were three poled and the contacts dont match up)
The specs on this RadioShack adapter is specifically 4 pole....I checked that first. In fact, the packaging description reads:
"Turns a 3/32" 4-pole wireless phone headset jack into a 1/8" stereo headphone jack"
Check this link and you'll see what I'm talking about: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2603246&cp
I knew it needed to be 4 pole, and that's what I'm saying...every supposed 4 pole adapter I've tried hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?
NOTE: Also note I said I tried the Blackberry Pearl headset, which is also a 4 pole headset jack on taht phone so theoretically that headset should have worked perfectly.
i used to work at radioshack and i can tell you they dont carry any adapters that work with smartphones, i cant tell how many customers came in looking for the same thing.. the adapter on ebay works its just like the one i have
The problem is simple. Look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the headphones that came with your phone, then look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the adapter. You will notice that the base of the adapter is way bigger than those on the headphones and this prevents you from pushing the adaptor as far in the hole as it needs to be.
Stupid idiots at The Source were trying to tell me that it wouldn't work because of voltage...
Anyways, when buying an adapter, just make sure that the base of the 2.5mm is small enough so that it'll fit into the recessed 2.5mm in your phone. It is okay if it's just the three pin plug, it will still be in stereo.
Is there any way to do this through the power slot (cigarette lighter)? Thanks.
No lol, you will need some sort of connection to your headunit (either via bluetooth [ad2dp] or usb or a line in or something else along those lines)
I use a fm-transmitter in my car for this, there are several different types of transmitters ( bt, cable ).

the Mini-USB is exactly the same as HTC's variation, the only difference is the outside shape, the HTC one is cut down. Both fit perfectly.
for the car buy Parrot MK6000 , it's cheap an has a great stereo sound ...
i use the cassette adapter with a mini-usb to female 3.5mm stereo adapter... works great

I just received the FMtalk NT-039_DP (bought it from Ebay) and it DOES NOT charge the diamond when pluged in. The transmitter seems to work well. I have yet to try the phone with it.
I use one of those tape adapters connected to the HTC remote. Works really well as a hands free kit also. Bonus!!
first off beware of belkin just took my back fin horrible if any thing get a kensington hundred if not thousands of times better
I use the y cable which splits the mini usb on the bottom of the diamond to a 3.5mm plug and a mini usb. I then use a car charger into the mini usb to charge the phone while a 3.5mm to phono cable plugs into the back of my head unit, allowing for music, calls and sat nav to all go through the car speakers. Works well and the people say they can here me clearly when using it as a hands free kit.
i use the motorolla T505 acts as a speakerphone and fm transmitter
Hi All, I am a nebie to Android and the Nexus 5 is my first android device. I just got mine yesterday and was trying to get it to work with my car speakers using the Monster iCarPlay cassette adapter. I can only hear static though. When I connect my iPhone it works fine. Earphones work fine on the Nexus 5 though. Am I missing something here?
Pretty sure the iCarPlay adapters only work with iDevices (regardless of how they connect i.e. headphone jack).
I think daewond3r might have a point. I use a cheap tape adapter at work and I haven't had any audio problems with mine.
daewond3r is correct. They only work with "i" devices. I'd recommend a cheap FM transmitter off of ebay.

Not possible. The iCarPlay cassette adapter uses a standard 3.5mm TRS plug, it will work with anything that has a headphone jack.
My guess is the iPhone working was just a coincidence and you have a flaky cable or the head in the cassette isn't lining up correctly with the head in your cassette player.
Holy ****, people are still using those?

I am currently using my note 4 to listen to music on the way to and from work and while the earphones are good I have a pair I bought that are sports style and hook over the back of my ears which is useful for me as I ride a motorcycle to work with helmet and this stops them falling out when I put my helmet on however I'd love to be able to use the remote features of the in-line controls on the stock earphones. Is there such an attachment (cable) that I plug into the phone and then in turn can plug my earphones into that has this that can be used?

For some reason, I'm having trouble deciphering what you are looking for. I don't have stock headphones (I think only certain Note 4 models came with them... mine didn't), but I assume they're basic in-ear headphones. You also mention wanting to be able to use the controls on the headphones. But you can't currently? Is that right?
I just need to clarify what you need and I may be able to help. I'm constantly looking for accessories for my and my family's phones. Are you looking for an attachment to keep the headphones in your eyes with a helmet on, an extension cable between the headphones and the phone, a remote extension to control the phone with the headphones, or are you looking for a new set of headphones to meet your needs?

I have the stock earphones but i wondered if there was an accessory that has the media keys and microphone but let's me plug earphones into it. Like an adapter cable.
So exactly like you said. Not after new ones

Just had a set of these delivered today. Not too shabby.

I have a pair of the JBL Reflect C Aware USB Type-C headphones. They're okay. I wouldn't pay for them again. They were 200 brand new and have noise cancellation, but it isn't nearly as good as the noise cancellation on the Bose QC35 I have or the Sennheiser Momentum. It makes this weird underwater kinda sound to it, and the headphones are rather large/heavy. Also, you get ton of interference from when the wires rub against your clothes. They sound amazing though with that aside. I might have to check these ones out since they look much more light-weight.
The USB c connector on those headphones look massive!

On the JBL Reflect C, the USB connector doesn't actually bother me that much, but what does bother me a bit is the thickness of the cord that is being used. I'm hoping this is only a feature of the JBL headphones and not all USB Type-C headphones.

So........the design is awesome, earbuds are super comfortable, and the cord is actually really good. However definitely had some interference issue last night when my wifi went out. Had to wiggle the cable to get it to stop. There is some static present during quiet moments during songs but the overall sound signature is much better than the wired earphones I have. They sound much better than both the original Bluebuds X and the X2's as well. I might not be the best judge of sound quality for wired sets as I've been a bluetooth head phone user for 4 years. My wired sets I'm only worried about being passable in the event my bluetooth headset battery runs out.
Music sounds great with the aware c on my pixel XL, but I can't transmit or hear phone conversation audio. Is there a reset. I've tried this on Android n and o.
