Headset adaptor - the other way around

[Walter_Plinge]

I know about the adaptors that allow you to plug your own headphones into the twin socket -- I've got one.

But I need one the other way around -- to plug the aircraft-supplied headset (I'm in PE) into my iPad. Is there such a thing? This will save me taking my own noise-cancelling headphones.

I couldn't find one using Google.

I believe the third pin on the J headphones is used for power (for the noise cancelling), so won't be any use.

What you're probably after is something similar to :

Thanks for the tip -- that should work. I'll get this one from DX and try it on my 'normal' adaptor.

If it doesn't fit no great loss; I'll just take my own headphones.

That one from Dealextreme won't work well AFAIK. You need one that splits the output into a LEFT and RIGHT channel so that the headphones work properly.

I'll have a dig around the Dealextreme website and see what I can find.

I use the headset supplied with my BlackBerry Bold, they are very comfortable with proper 'in ear' buds and work well with either the IPod or with an adaptor for the IFE.

If you can't wait for postage, Tandys and **** Smiths have them.
