1/8" to 1/4" dongle?

[Spasticteapot]

Does anyone know where to get a dongle allowing me to plug my 1/4" headphones into a 1/8" headphone jack? I've got an in-line adapter, but it puts a lot of stress on the headphone jack.

Grado do a nice one for about £10 or $15 dollars just do a google for Grado and should find it no problem. I got mine from stoneaudio in the UK.
has about a 6 inch cable so that takes any strain away from the player
hope this helps

Like he said, people usually recommend the Grado or the Sennheiser one.
Both have a little cable in between instead of just a one piece metal.

yes, get teh plug with the cable as it will work without putting strain on the mini plug. I was going crazy with teh standard senn that got packaged with my cans until i realised that the weight of the headphone plug+adaptor was not making a clean contact in the mini port.

I got the grado one for a special price of $10 on sale. Sadly being in the uk shipping made it $20 lol.

If that doesn't work, go to shop, select one of the upper HD series (580, 595, 600, 650 etc) then adapters and find the one there.

It's only 4.90USD!!!
