Using earbuds with the BH4

[DaMangRon]

Hey guys, is this what I need to use my regular ear buds with my BH? Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I'm just not to tech savoy. Thanks.

Yes.

That should be perfect.

DO NOT buy that adapter!
I did - it is a piece of !!!! - the female end doesn't even plug in straight.
If it wasn't so cheap and a hassle I would have sent it back.
I'm not going to plug something of such low quality into my detector.
My luck it would fall apart inside my detector.

Ok, thanks for the advice....which adapter do you suggest then?

I haven't bought this one yet, but it is sony so it has to be of better quailty.

Something like that, or head to a local radio shack or any music store - it's a very common adaptor.

You can go to your local Radio Shack and they have an adapter for about $3-$4 that will work perfectly. I was going to get one for my earbuds but ended up getting a $30 pair of full headphones with the adapter in the package.

Don't buy the plastic adapters
Do buy the all metal adapters

Thanks for the help guys. I bought a different brand off of amazon for $1.14 including tax and shipping. It is metal but we'll see. If they don't work out I'll get over to a radio shack. I have regular over the ear headphones, but with the summer hereI want to go lightweight.

Most of the ear buds I've seen the cord is too short.

I bought a radioshack stereo adapter for $5. Has worked great with my RCA earbuds which have a longer cord than my ipod earbuds (too short in my opinion). FWIW.
