In the era of breakthrough technology, everything is modernized; there are too many products that users can’t know, it is difficult for users to distinguish and choose to meet their own needs. Especially in the audio array, especially for wired in-ear headphones, it isn’t easy to understand and find out more about headphones with suitable and standard jacks for your devices. So I would like to summarize some standard and common size headphone jacks on the market, with the main content being Distinguishing 3.5mm headphone jacks.

To look at a glance and distinguish a headset using a 3.5mm or 2.5mm or 4.4mm jack pin, very few users do not know because just looking at the size, it is extremely difficult to distinguish when you are a completely new user of headphones.

How to distinguish the types of 3.5mm headphone jack?

On the market at present, electronic devices and technology items such as smart mobile phones, music players, laptop / PC tablets now all have common use of the standard Aux-in jack listen to 3.5mm. Some popular music players or DAC/amps have integrated 2.5mm, 4.5mm balanced jack ports. All those 3.5mm headphone jack pins are miniature versions of the previous standard 6.3mm plug. Shrinked to save space is common with phones and music players.

To most clearly distinguish those jack pins with names about 6.5mm jack with a diameter of about 1/4inch, 3.5mm jack is 1/8inch, and 2.5mm is 3/32inch, this is an easy difference most realized for consumers.

The 6.5mm, 4.4mm, 3.5mm, 2.5mm jacks are all referred to as audio plugs with two common or commonly used types, the 3.5mm called “mini” and the standard 2.5mm Submini. For both types of jacks, there are two types of mono and stereo audio. The most accurate information about the 3.5mm headphone product that the user is using, the user needs to see directly on the bag packaging or user manuals each for best surround sound support.

To find out and also distinguish what kind of 3.5mm headset you are using? Is there mic support? Support mono audio or stereo audio? With this division, it is extremely simple and not complicated. There are three types of 3.5mm headphone jack with the names TS, TRS, and TRRS respectively, the type called TS is a jack that uses Mono audio that does not include Left and Right channels. TRS is a type of 3.5mm stereo Audio headphone jack including Left, Right, Ground with two black bars, with TRS will not contain a microphone part, so it will not be possible to talk directly on the wire. Finally, TRRS is a 3.5mm stereo Audio headphone jack including Left, Right, Ground, microphone, and a line containing a microphone connector with three clear black lines to help users talk on headphones easily. So users need to note the above things to make choosing a 3.5mm headset that easily fits their needs and purposes.
