What comes with theBoom Headsets?

We supply all of our headsets with a standard 2.5mm, 3 Conductor Jack. If your cell phone requires something different, then please be sure to specify what adaptor you require when you order the product.

Identifying what kind of jack you have

Your cell phone manufacturer may use a lot of different connections to plug a headset into the phone itself and deciding which adaptor you need may be difficult. For proprietary or USB jacks, you will need to consult the Manufacturer or try and compare the jack with the images above to find a match.

For your help, there is an easy way to tell what kind of standard jack you have.

Firstly, the width is measured in Millimeters. 3.5mm jacks are notably a bit bigger than their 2.5mm counterparts so working out the size should not be too much of an issue. For reference, most earphones and earbuds that you would plug into a Discman or MP3 player are of the 3.5mm family.

To tell how many conductors there are on the jack, you can look at the metal cylinder that plugs into your cell phone. A conductor is the copper / gold / silver metal sections running up the jack itself. These are usually separated by black lines.

So for example, a 3 Connector jack would have two black lines, separating 3 rings of metal.

Likewise a 4 Connector Jack would have lack rings, separating four rings of metal.

If you are still having troubles in discerning which type of jack you require, please do not hesitate to contact us via our headset service line (888-230-3300) and we will be able to find out exactly what kind of headset adaptor you require.
