I've been doing some diy IC. i really satisfied with the results. so i'm gonna build an adaptor from my iphone to triple fi. is there any plug that's as good as neutrik/switchcraft that's also compatible with iphone jack? It's going to be as
i don't want to use lod or amps because it's just for quick and fun listening while on the way.
thanks in advance.

has anyone managed to come up with anything that works here? Ive heard of people hacking away at the connectors with knives and such but is there a stock DIY connector (1/8" obviously) that can fit into the "receptacle" of an iphone????? PLEASE let me know!
what's the diameter of the recess? there's a plug that probably fits.

AudioCubes2 declined to cancel my order, then lied to me and told me it had already shipped a full business day before the date on the shipping label.
arg i dont have an iphone yet (its coming ). any iphone users care to take a couple seconds to measure the diameter of the opening? perhaps the approximate depth of the recess would be good too, but not nearly so important
just grab a pair of ibuds, it needs to be as small as the outer insulation of the plug, probably a bit smaller because it is a snug fit with the plastic.

any known matches to that approximate diameter? i dont know of any DIY 1/8" connectors that are THAT small.....i think the neutrik NY something or other (small and silver 1/8" connectors) are the smallest that I have used, and they are still definitely much too big for the opening here!

i dont think thats what mikemar was implying, i think he meant moreso just use the outer diameter of an ipod bud jack to get an idea of the size you need to fit? or maybe i misunderstood him, but anyhow as with most DIY recabling id really prefer to not need to splice into an existing connector (ie just hack off the ipod connector and splice my headphones onto that). It would be FAR preferable to find an aftermarket DIY connector that simply fits the iphone jack...i sWORE someone knew of one or two that did at some point....maybe im mistaken tho
There are a couple of adapters available. Griffen is £8 for a stereo to stereo 3.5mm that I use with SA6 and others.
The Shure unit has a microphone built in and a longer cable.
monster do an adapter with microphone unit too.
I searched for a plug that could be used on a headphone leas but cam up with nothing US or UK.
There will be one soon but until then the Griffen is my fav.
