It's cool to know how this works, I've been trying to repair a couple of senhaisher plug headPhones+mic for the Iphone (they broke at the jack) and I couldn't make them work. I am courrently able to use them to listenimg only. The mic and the controls are not working. And I tried all the combinations at the jack...(well maybe not all or it would be working perfectly).

I tried to find some diagrams but was unable. Maybe this will help me.

Same issues here. I had three pairs of amazing Rocksford inear headset with huge bass chamber 14mm drive I believe. Anything after that plugged into the ear sounded dead flat. Anyways, of course the problem is jack and wearing it with ipod it died withn month. What a frustration. $120 headset that are junk only because of broken jack.

We need a robust 3.5mm jack short cord extention. Something that would be robust in built but protect oryginal jack the same time. I think plenty of people that appreciate quality music on the go would chip in for such a cord. I would definitely give $15 to protect jack of my high quality headsets. If someone starts a kickstarter on this, I will pledge.
