Not so much the phone, but the headphones

of a Galaxy Android.

These are tiny but even so the earpiece supplied is of the hard metal insert surrounded by a jelly fish shaped piece of plastic, which is uncomfortable in the extreme . The headphone jack has four connections on it, though my normal hi fi headphones only have three.

I can connect both sets into my PC and listen to videos without trouble on each channel, so I assume it has nothing to do with impdeance standards, but what would happen if I use the three connection jack in the mobile socket ?

I don't want to try on a whim just in case I bugger the mobile up, until I get the OK.

Thanks in advance

The fourth connection will be for the external mic somewhere on the cord. Using normal headphones means you have to talk into the phone mic if your phone supports that option (mine auto detects if you plug in normal headphones).

Thanks, I only need to listen to stuff, the rest I can do with the usual components built in.

No damage then .
