My Bose Headphones have a standard TRS 3.5mm stero jack.
I would like to use these with my Smartphone .......... unfortunately this uses 3.5mm TRRS .. i.e. an extra ring for the microphone connection. This means that I do not get audio in both ears.
What I need is 3.5 mm TRRS male to 3.5mm TRS female.
Anybody know of one ? ............ I can find the correct gender changes but it also steps down 3.5mm to 2.5mm which is no use.
Tried googling & eBay ... (also tried Bose)
Why not wire a 4 pole plug to a 3 pole socket. Both are available from Maplin for a few pounds each?

Try harder! ;-)
Interesting, all the smartphones I've had with 4 pole sockets have worked properly with a standard heaphone plug. None have been i-anythings though ;p :)

I dont put adaptors into 3.5mm TRS sockets, they're too fragile. Use a plug, socket and wire.

I am not after a microphone ...
Thanks for trying though
When you are listening to music, the microphone is redundant and it just acts as an adaptor for ordinary stereo headphones. (which is what I though you wanted).
The mic allows you to continue wearing said headphones and use them for hands free calling as well.
