Hello,
My son just bought a new pair of Bose Headphones, the "SoundTrue" model.
Their .pdf manual says the Plug is 3.5 mm and also 1/8 inch.
Obviously, it can't be both, as their is a "meaningful" diameter
difference (0.0057) beteen these two dimensions.
I used to remember that there was always a bit of a problem, as some
Plugs that mfg's used were 1/8 inch, and some were 3.0 mm (not 3.5 mm).
The reason I'm asking is that when he plugs it into our (old CRT style)
Panasonic TV audio output Plug, it wiggles a lot and does not make good
contact.
Can someone who is a lot more knowledgeable about these kinda plugs and
jacks perhaps straighten us out on all of this. (are there adapters ?)
Also, the Plug seems to have 4 electrical sections.
Have never seen one with more than 3.
What are (each) of them for, please ? Diagram anywhere ?
Would be most appreciative for your help.
Thank you very much,
Bob

I'm thinking the problem is you have a fairly worn jack in your old crt tv. They fail fairly commonly. I've had to replace a few in ipods and such.
