As a rule, it is not difficult to connect headphones to your phone. However, there are some models where it is rather difficult to do this, despite all the possible multifunctionality of the telephone. Let's take a look at the possibility of connecting headphones to an iPhone. The fact is that not every headphone is suitable for this smartphone. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that the headphone jack on the iPhone is recessed into the body, which means that headphones with wide plugs will not work. The second reason is the function of the microphone. In order for the microphone function to be preserved, headphones with four channels are needed, rather than three, as, for example, with headphones for mp3 players.
Instructions
Step 1
Use an adapter
You can purchase a dedicated Belkin adapter to connect your iPhone with thick headphone jacks. However, this adapter has two obvious disadvantages. Firstly, it does not support the microphone function, and secondly, it is not flexible, which means it will stick out of your phone, which is not very nice and convenient.
Another adapter is available from Apple itself. It does not have these problems, but it costs about $ 20. So think for yourself whether you endure the inconvenience, or spend money on a more expensive product.
Step 2
Use an adapter
Shure releases a special adapter for iPhone (full name - Shure Music Phone Adapter for iPhone). The adapter is not cheap - as much as $ 40, but it immediately solves all problems with using headphones for the iPhone.
Step 3
Use a soldering iron
This method is suitable only for those who skillfully handle a soldering iron and are sure of their technical skills. You can simply solder the earbuds to the included iPhone headset. You can even find a video on the net with detailed instructions.
In general, the easiest way is to spend money and buy specialized headphones. This will protect you from all sorts of problems and unpleasant situations.
