iPhone headphone jack adaptor
January 21, 2008
Well I love the iPhone but I hate the engineer that thought it would be cool to recess the headphone jack into the phone.
Let me tell you this has to be the biggest pet peeve of mine. You can’t use a regular headphones with the iPhone.
I absolutely hate those stupid ear buds with a passion. If I wear them for too long my ears hurt. I need some over the head earphones to be comfortable.
Well anyways I was at Dolphin Mall Sunday and decided to stop into Radio Shack to see if there was an adaptor out for the iPhone. 
Luckily enough They had a nice little Griffin headphone adaptor for like $10 bucks. It’s like the best thing ever for the phone.
I also splurged a bit and headed on over to the Sony outlet store. 
They have this really nice ultra portable headphone that I picked up. The model is the MDR-710. They fold up really small and come with this little plastic case. 
I wanted something with a small size that I could fit into a pocket if I had to.
A nice plus about these headphones is that they have a driver unit that’s just a tad smaller than those really huge studio type headphones. A 30mm driver compared to a 40mm driver. So the sound is really nice.

Got something to say?
