Once you download the Square app, register and link your bank account, they send you the card reader for free. The card reader is very small, about one square inch, I'd say. I have yet to swipe a card through it, but keying in a credit card is very easy. I love this app. HTH, Carrie

Normal headphone plugs use tip for left channel and ring for right channel. Rest of the connector is ground. Special connectors use second ring for control signals or microphone signal. Standard splitters will hanle only tip. one ring and the sleeve. Youn can feel the insulation between tip, ring(s) and sleeve with your fingernail. -- mr.
