Has anyone else discovered that nearly NO other headphones work with the iphone?
The headphone jack (1/8?) is sunken into the body of the iPhone so none of the headphones I own can fit all the way in.

Can you think of any kind of solution for this problem? I cant be the onyl one suffering :)
 
Same issue with the sphere speakers that apple put out a few years ago (the connections on the back of the MDD or the imacs of the time).

I wonder how it will be like to plug in one of those sphere speakers to an iphone... :D

I still have a pair sitting in my garage...
 
is there any kind of like adapter for this?
God, I have having a ton of shit in-line with headphones.
It destroys the portability: now i have to have headphones, adapter, and iphone together to get music.... grr
 
This is an issue with a lot of "music" phones, not just with the iPhone. Some headphones are thin enough to fit, but way too many don't

What I plan on doing is buying this since my headphones already use an L-shaped extension, and trimming the end down with a knife.

It's not a perfect solution, but I can't find any M/F mini-stereo cables that are short enough besides Shure's.

Why do those adapters always have to be so friggin long? Makes them really prone to bending/breaking off in the jack.
 
30 seconds with my leatherman fixed my issue.

Here is the real bs - Apple already makes a 2 inch adapter for their iPod shuffle case that could have worked
