iphone headphone adapter

if there are any other audiophiles out there who where disapointed to find out that their $300 headphones dont fit their iphone.. or any of a number of frustrating situations that arise from the recessed headphone jack on the iphone..

heres my attempt at making a headphone adapter more to my liking rather then the belkin monster...

Step 1 Gather some parts

so, to do this i needed to sacrifice two connectors.. this is pretty standard whenever splicing an audio adapter..

so i killed a spare ipod headphone for the slender jack that fits in the fscking iphone jack..

now i found a 1/8th inch female to stereo RCA adapter in my junk which seems like it would be perfect, but i wont know untill i remove some of the cast plastic to see whats under there.. it could be some cheap all-parts-held-in-place-by-plastic beast...

but in my favor, its not.. now to make an adapter...

well... why dont you just cut off the plug on the headphones and put on one that fits? seems like a whole lot less work to me. a nice 3.5mm plug that will fit into ur iphone is only 3 bucks at radio shack. you might need to solder it tho

dont upgrade to 1.1.1

Why not? It's got some nice features!

Don't worry they have figured out how to downgrade so your apps and such will still work.

The title says "iPhone/iPod Touch Headphone Adapter." If I remember correctly, the iPod Touch doesn't have a recessed headphone jack.
