And a microphone too

2018-12-12 18:52:35 UTC  

I have superlux cans with no mic and wanted to add a mic, so I could also splice in a control board if I wanted.

2018-12-12 18:52:42 UTC  

iOS does it differently though, they use some signaling idk

2018-12-12 18:52:48 UTC  

that's pretty fucking clever

2018-12-12 18:52:59 UTC  

But for android, just short the mic pin to ground with different resistances

2018-12-12 18:53:14 UTC  

I should have bothered to look this shit up sooner 🤔

2018-12-12 18:53:39 UTC  

It's not really too important to knoe

2018-12-12 18:53:40 UTC  

how to normal headphones deal with it tho

2018-12-12 18:53:53 UTC  

Most people aren't diying inline buttons on their headphones

2018-12-12 18:54:06 UTC  

and how does android handle different headphones that don't use this mechanism

2018-12-12 18:54:22 UTC  

Android detects normal TRS headphones by detecting a dead short across mic and ground when you plug them in

2018-12-12 18:54:33 UTC  

trs???

2018-12-12 18:54:41 UTC  

3 pin

2018-12-12 18:54:45 UTC  

Or whatever

2018-12-12 18:54:45 UTC  

I just mean that I love to tinker and this was always a tinker thing, I just assumed an end-user couldn't add this function to existing cans for some reason 😂

2018-12-12 18:55:02 UTC  

Well you can't if the plug is TRS

2018-12-12 18:55:12 UTC  

You need your headphones to have a TRRS plug

2018-12-12 18:55:28 UTC  

4 pin balanced audio?

2018-12-12 18:55:33 UTC  

Just cut off the 3-pin and splice in 4-pin lmao 😂

2018-12-12 18:55:36 UTC  

wait a second what ground does the mic use

2018-12-12 18:55:47 UTC  

Same grouind as the others silly

2018-12-12 18:55:52 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-12 18:56:04 UTC  

Trrs is normally laid out as l, r, ground, mic

2018-12-12 18:56:06 UTC  

I think

2018-12-12 18:56:08 UTC  

but there's 2 grounds on the balanced

2018-12-12 18:56:15 UTC  

ground is always the last one

2018-12-12 18:56:24 UTC  

Only need one ground for consumer electronics. If you were in sound production recording professionally you might need a separate ground, but

2018-12-12 18:56:35 UTC  

There are multiple standards

2018-12-12 18:56:38 UTC  

Ground isnt the last one

Most mobile devices now use ctia because that's what apple uses

2018-12-12 18:56:55 UTC  

left is prolly apple

2018-12-12 18:56:59 UTC  

FUCK

2018-12-12 18:57:00 UTC  

Yep

2018-12-12 18:57:01 UTC  

how can it balanced with one ground!

2018-12-12 18:57:04 UTC  

But everyone copied them

2018-12-12 18:57:07 UTC  

It's not balanced

2018-12-12 18:57:15 UTC  

☺ this and the portable TV project will be fun

2018-12-12 18:57:27 UTC  

why did apple use this retarded shit

2018-12-12 18:57:35 UTC  

why not have a comfy uniform degisn
