iPhone headphone adapter workaround


If you want to use other headphones of choice with your iPhone, you don't need to spend on the headphone adapter (besides it's obnoxious form-factor). Just cut the silicone cover over the (2-ring) pin about 2mm and it should then fit-in the iPhone jack. I just did that with my Panasonic headphones (see pic) and it works great!

DUH! i feel pretty dumn (sic) not thinking of that one. Thanks! I was going to shell out 10 bucks for that hideous adapter by belkin or griffin... i guess its easy to get caught up in tech and not think of the simplest solution

Worked for Sony "in ear" buds, as well. If I plug them into another iPod or computer etc. you see a small gap between the plastic and the device, but still better than using that BS connector
