This is an iPhone 5, and a normal jack won't fit its headphone/earphone receptor.

If the jack is larger then you’ll have to buy an adapter which can be purchased at your local electronics store. Connecting a standard set of headphones means that you’ll have to answer a call on your iPhone on the iPhone itself, control music playback and volume from the iPhone itself and use the iPhones own microphone. Some headphones such as the B&W P7’s come with interchangeable leads, one specifically for an IOS/Android device and the other specifically for connection to a stereo system. > On 26 Apr 2016, at 4:44 AM, Adrian Spratt <adr...@adrianspratt.com> wrote: > > I'm guessing there's a connector that enables you to connect headphones with > regular jacks to iPhones.
