Hello all now that the greatest phone of all time has landed it seems that not all headphones fit because of the unique plastic trim around the jack. So I want to know which phones fit without any modification or third-party accessory.

The ones that I know that fit (coming straight from engadget):
Etymotic er6i
Zune Headphones - not that we care about those

I measured the barrel of the supplied headset at 5.72mm, and the opening for it at 5.92mm. Headphone plugs have to be really skinny to fit, because I tried the three smallest plugs we have around here and none of them fit:

- Sony EX71SL (the short cord, with a straight plug: 6.71mm)
- V-Moda Vibe (6.37mm)
- Crossroads MylarOne X3 (6.74mm)

Edit: as for the ER-6i, I can tell you that my black one does not fit. At 7.93mm it is not remotely in the running. I suspect Engadget was using the white ER-6i with the straight plug. (Though it's also conceivable that Etymotic has changed its ER-6i black plug since I got mine.)

Two more that don't fit:

- Yuin PK1 (6.40mm)
- Yuin PK3 (6.40mm)

UEs dont... oh well, adaptor FTW.

V-Moda Vibe Duo headset does fit - obviously, because it was made to. Pretty nice little headset IMO. If you like the regular Vibe, you'll like this.

so seeing as how none of the earphones / headphones I have work with the iPhone, and I had some time on my hands...

went away at a neutrik mini (NSY231 series) with a file until it fit, then added a small female connector 90 degrees to it. fairly low profile, but I may have to go with a design that's less bulky later on. not bad for a first try I suppose.

so the answer to the question is everything.

although making a first-party accessory to do so might be cheating a bit.

I think the ES7's plug will work. It, my wife's iPhone, and my calipers are all in different places right now, but will be gotten together tonight. Meanwhile my crude measurements with a ruler are very promising.

Update: No, the ES7 does not work. It looked skinny, but at 6.26mm it is too big.

Does the Vibe Duo make the Apple Bluetooth accessory redundant. Meaning, you can answer the phone with the Vibe. I know the Vibe has a wire and everything...

Very nice "adapter" ayt999

I am very sad/pissed off to report that the Etymotic ER4Ps do NOT work!!!

All of my playing over the weekend was using the speaker phone. I found that out this morning on my way to work.

I don't know if this website is common knowledge or not. It's a new website that I believe was created by the people at VersionTracker. It's called iPhone Atlas and it seems like it's going to be very useful to the iPhone community.

Well, this is something we didn't understand when we bought it. Like the iPhone's stock headset, the Vibe Duo has a mic on the cord. But unlike the stock headset, there's no button on the cord - you have to touch the phone to answer a call.

Thanks, for your help epi. I just spoke with AT&T. I ordered my iPhone via The Apple Store online. I'm passing on the Vibe Duo. Thanks again...

Great looking adapter, Alex.

Well DONE man! Considering how this seems a planned 'feature' of the otherwise awesome iPhone to get people to buy adapters you ought to consider manufacturing and selling them

I have the ordinary ER-6's and sadly they dont really work unless you really cram the jack in and then you get one channel at best. How'd you like to make me a jack?

I'd happily pay you b4 paying Apple for what seems a calculated oversight..
