Headphones Question :)

Hi guys, first of all sorry about my bad english, I'm brazilian congratulations to the admin of the site, it may be very useful to many people that have mpx players and has so many answers.
So let's go to my question, most of all mp4 players come with a 2.5mm socket, which are very common on cellular headphones. Mp3 players, walkmans etc, come with a 3.5mm socket.
So its very difficult to find 2.5mm headphones here in Brazil, so on the store I bought my mp4 player I already bought plus 3 headphones in case the first breaks.
Until here everything is Ok, but the wire doesn't reaches my pocket, it's too short.
I would like to know what you guys do about this problem, because it's very annoing my mp4 player balancing.

So that's it, I'll really apreciate your answers.

Hughs!

This may solve your problem:

2.5mm Adapter for 3.5mm Plug Stereo Headphones.

Note:

Make sure you buy Adapter w/ only 2 rings on shaft, NOT 3 RINGS.

Or get an armband on ebay...

Thanks dude, I really apreciate your answer, but here in Brazil is a little bit difficult to find this adapters, dont you have any other option, like putting the mp4 on the necklace, would you know how could I do this ?
Thanks again!

@Iridium: why two rings? What happens if you use a 3 ring?

In my experience, you lose all bass in music.

rreiter, i'd look for that adaptor in a audio/video store or camelô (street seller) (in Rio, i'd try Uruguaiana)

To attach the player to the necklace simply pass the thin rope of the necklace through a small hole specially designed for it. In an iPod nano fake it's on the bottom of the player.

I bought a pair with 3 rings and could only get sound from on one side- definately go with the 2 ring kind.
