Are 3.5 mm and 1/4 the same?
I believe the 3.5mm plug was created to be a "miniaturized" version of the 1/4" plug, which was already in general use. 3.5mm is more commonly seen in consumer electronics, and it's usually a TRS plug (for "Tip-Ring-Sleeve"), which is sometimes called "stereo," as opposed to TS ("Tip-Sleeve") or "mono."
Can I convert TRRS to TRS?
SRK A11 TRRS to TRS Adaptor This is a convenient adapter cable to convert your smartphone microphone to fit for computer and DSLR cameras. 4-pole 3.5mm female plug to 3-pole 3.5mm male jack. Connect the female plug with your cellphone microphone and the male jack with your computer or camera. The cable length is 13cm.
What happens if you plug TRRS into TRS?
in most cases, yes you can plug trrs into a trs connector and only have headphone audio and you would lose out on the microphone. if you want to keep the microphone you would need a trrs cable (if plugging into a phone or similar device) or a trrs to two trs connector cable (for plugging into pc).
Is 3.5 mm the same as TRRS?
Typically, yes. If your smartphone/tablet has a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, it's more than likely a TRRS socket. Technically, when you plug a pair of TRS headphones into a TRRS socket, you create an electrical short between the Microphone and Ground conductors, but this behavior is perfectly safe and expected.
