 How many rings in the jack to buy headphones? Such is the difference


If you've looked closely at the headphone or earphone jack, you've probably seen rings separated by various small black dots.



Have you ever wondered why headphones or earphones have such rings? Even if it is kept, why is one kept in some, two in some or three in some?




Each circle or ring in the jack has its own characteristics. Today we are giving information about such a ring in the earphone or headphone jack.


1) Single ring

The headphones or earphones we use do not have a single ring. However, the jack used in some audio devices has a single ring. This single ring connector is also known as TRS i.e. tip, ring and sleeve.



It consists of a metal tip (front part made of metal), a single ring and a connector base. TRS is used to connect various audio devices.




The connector used especially in devices (DJ) with a single speaker has a single ring. If there is only one ring connector, the headphone or speaker does not support microphone or stereo sound. It only focuses on one voice.


2) Double ring (TRRS tip, ring, ring, sleeve)

A double ring connector or TRRS is a type of jack that is more advanced than a single ring jack. It has a metal tip, two rings and finally a sleeve.




When using this connector, different audio goes to both speakers. Which is called stereo audio. 3D, ATD audio is possible because of its double ring. Most earphone and headphone jacks have a double ring.


3) Triple Ring (TRRRS-Tip, Ring, Ring, Ring, Sleeve)

Triple ring headphones have a tip first, then three rings and finally a sleeve. Most expensive or better headphones and earphone jacks have three rings.




This means that one ring sends audio, the second ring supports the microphone and the third ring provides features like inline control. Inline controls include volume, playback, answering or ending calls from the headphones.


Headphones or earphones that have three rings deliver high-quality sound. Among these three jacks, the triple ring jack is the best. The triple-ringed jingle helps you hear a classy sound.
