It’s “plug” here.

I was looking for the technical term because I would like to purchase that item alone. :)

Normal headphones use a 1/8 inch mini plug.

squirbel's avatar

That’s a thick plug >_>

Aren’t those the ones that studio producers use?

I’m just talking ipod type :D

iPod uses 1/8. The bigger ones on high end stuff are ¼.

squirbel's avatar

Is 1/8 the same as 3.5mm?

jrpowell's avatar

Yes

The very tip of a TRS connector (or audio jack) up to the insulating ring is called… the tip, followed by the “ring” and the “sleeve”.

And yes, the 1/8” mini-jack is the name for it here in America.
