Finding specific TRS adapter cable
February 22, 2019 6:07 PM Subscribe
I am looking for a specific type of cable. One end: 3.5mm TRS male (to go into a cell phone's TRRS jack). Other end: 1/4inch TRS female (to plus a pair of headphones into).
I'm having trouble finding a way to search Amazon or Monoprice for these since all the keywords get mushed together and I get lots of variants that aren't what I'm looking for.
The 3.5mm end needs to be thin enough to be plugged in through a silicone case. Ideally, the length would be about a foot, but that exact length isn't super important.
Any suggestions of how to search, or of specific products are incredibly helpful!

Response by poster: Johnny Wallflower: Thanks for the suggestion. I am specifically not looking for an adapter, as its rigidity would mean a lot of strain on the phone's headphone jack.

This? It sounds like the extra word you want to throw into your search is extension or extender cable.

Best answer: You might consider getting a 1/8" inch extender cable of the desired length, with the same interface at both ends, and then put a 1/8"-to-1/4" adapter on the end of it (on the end away from the phone).
Seconding Monoprice as a great source for finding exactly what you need, and dirt cheap.

Response by poster: Intermod: That's looking like the way to go; Toxic's suggestion would work but for that it wouldn't fit through the phone case.

My Sennheiser HD650 headphones came with one of these (although it's not as long as you're after). A Google Images search for sennheiser jack adaptor finds a few places that sell them as spares.
