Q: QuestionI wonder if this product can connect a 3.5mm TRRS jack to a 3.5mm TRS aux.

Asked 7 months ago by ChillGuy.

• A:Answer Thank you for your question. Yes, our Best Buy essentials 6' 3.5mm Male-to-Female Audio Extension Cable can connect a 3.5mm TRRS jack to a 3.5mm TRS aux port. The extension cable itself is wired to carry the necessary audio signals. When you plug a TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve) connector into the female end and a TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) connector into the male end, the audio signals will typically be transmitted correctly. However, the microphone functionality present in a TRRS connection might not be fully utilized by a TRS aux port, which is primarily designed for stereo audio output. So, you'll likely get your stereo sound, but the microphone part of the TRRS connection might not work. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support

Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionWould this work with my Sennheiser 569 headphones? They only came with 2 cables. One has a big 1/4" (6.35mm) connector and the other has a 3.5mm connector. However, the 3.5mm cable has a mic and a remote, so it doesn't work with the extension I have.

Asked 2 years ago by Faber.

• A:Answer A 1/4" adaptor (1/4 to 3.5mm) might be an ideal solution.
