2.5 to 3.5 headset jack Anyone try it?

[bumbota111]

I bought a generic one for $2 bucks and it didnt work too well. I want to use my own earbuds. Can only get it to work when i plug it 3/4 in. But once i plug it all the way in it doesnt work. Notice my generic one only have 2 black rings. The radio actually works with the generic 3/4 plugged in. But appears some sound loss due to it being plugged in this fashion. My original stereo headset has 3 black rings. So I found this other headset adapter that has 3 rings on it. 2.5 to 3.5.

You guys think this one will work or has anyone tried it. Would love to use my own headset.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Let me know how that 3 ring one works for you. I got some shure headphones i rather use than these oem headphones.

yes please i would like to know also. I have some earbuds that i would like to use to, will never go back to those regular audiophones again.

I, too, am curious about whether i should use a 3 ring 2.5mm (sub-mini) adapter, or use a 2 ring adapter.

SA far as I know, the two-ring jack is for left/right/ground (3-conductor) applications (e.g. earphones) and the three-ring jacks are for applications involving a mic & earpiece (like wired handsfree headset).

So i'm thinking it is the two-ring adapter then?
