Audio-Jack-headsets

Hello. The Inspiron 7567 Setup and Specifications document calls it a "headset (headphone and microphone combo) port", but gives no actual specifications. All Dell laptops up to now have had the standard 3.5 mm jacks, so you should be safe using that as a reference. Get one from someplace that accepts returns.

Is the 3.5 mm jack the same size that's on cell phones. And Thanks very much for the reply.

Phones are outside my area of expertise, but I think most cell phones have 3.5 mm jacks. My Motorola Moto android phone does. However there might be some phones that have a 2.5 mm jack.

Here is a picture from Wikipedia, of different sized plugs:

In the old days, we called the largest one a 1/4" phone plug, and the next smaller one a 1/8" mini phone plug.It was called "mini" because it was smaller than the 1/4" plug, which was the original phone plug size.

The 1/8" mini plug is the one that we now call a 3.5 mm plug. The smallest size is the 2.5 mm, which is sometimes called a sub-mini plug.

Note that all of the plugs in the picture are either TS or TRS. If you want to use a headset (headphones with integrated microphone), then you would need one with a TRRS plug. (tip/ring/ring/sleeve)

Headsets with TRRS plugs are available with either 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm size plugs, but 3.5 mm is the standard size. If you get one with a 2.5 mm plug, you can put an adapter on it to fit a 3.5 mm jack.

Oops, I made a couple of typos in the previous post, which I have now edited out.

Great info. Thanks a bunch. Have a great day.
