I just received my aria today and I tried to connect it to my laptop. I am not able to connect my headphone to aria

There is no 1/8" to connect. The one listed on the manual is not 1/8" point. What am I doing wrong?

If its a 1/4" jack, you just need to get a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter. You can order them from some of the Head-Fi sponsers or get one from a hi-Fi or electronics store.

If you need one right away and you live in the U.S. head over to a RadioShack. As redrich2000 mentioned BestBuys, CircuitCity, etc. should have them too. Sennheiser and Grado makes nice ones if you can wait.

Thanks for the replies. I shall drive to Radioshack and get a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.

I think Radioshack has it for $3. Where do I buy Sennheiser or Grado adapters. Will IEM's work well with those?

Sennheiser and Grado only makes better 1/4 to 1/8 converters, which is the inverse of what you need. 1/4 to 1/8 converters are "trickier" because of potential strain on 1/8 jacks.

As for 1/8 to 1/4 converter, RadioShack's is perfectly fine.
