3 pin

Or whatever

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 😂

Well you can't if the plug is TRS

You need your headphones to have a TRRS plug

4 pin balanced audio?

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

wait a second what ground does the mic use

Same grouind as the others silly

Yeah

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

I think

but there's 2 grounds on the balanced

ground is always the last one

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

There are multiple standards

Ground isnt the last one

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

left is prolly apple

FUCK

Yep

how can it balanced with one ground!

But everyone copied them

It's not balanced

☺ this and the portable TV project will be fun

why did apple use this retarded shit

why not have a comfy uniform degisn

It's not really too retarded

Everyone adopted the apple standard

@androidcrawler clam down son

Since the only thing to use omtp before were those 2.5mm headsets for old flip phones and things

can you even have a mic on a balanced cable

trrs on 3.5mm wasnt common until apple started using it, and then everyone just adopted their standard to be compatible

None of this is balanced audio.

Also, with enough rings, yes

You'd need something like TRRRRS though for stereo balanced audio,ground, and mic

Which doesn't exist

@androidcrawler Welcome to casual consumer electronics, were you born yesterday by any chance?

yes
