Let's see, there are 25.4 mm in an inch. Dividing by 8 gives 3.175 which is less than 3.5. Therefore, the 1/8 inch is smaller than the 3.5 mm.

The 3.5mm are slightly larger and fit the jacks better. I haven't seen this problem for a long time though. Possibley you have an old pair of earphones with the eighth inch plug instead of the the 3.5mm plug.
