Headphones for laptop

As far as I understand, most laptops have some kind of headphone or output speaker jack and as long as the headphone itself has the right size male connection to the female jack then it should work with the laptop.

Worst case scenario, if your computer doesn't have a speaker outlet or head phone connection, if it has a USB port, you could try some wireless headphones.

Or Bluetooth connected headphones if your laptop has a Bluetooth connection.

I've got a jack. So, is it just a matter of hit or miss? Can I discover the size of my jack, or will it be a standard size?

It's my understanding that headphone jacks for such electronics as laptops, mp3 players etc are standardized, I have 4 sets of headphones bought for different devices and they are all interchangeable. the older type were RCA jacks and were much larger.

When I was looking for head phones with mic for the desktop, Izzie was very firm that I should get something that worked with USB ports. I'm using a Logitech with selector for voice and music, and has volumn control on the right ear phone instead of dangling around in the middle of the wire.

Standard 3.5 mm stereo jack.

I would fathom to say that most are indeed of a standard size.

Take it in to a local Radio Shack and they can tell you exactly what type of jack connector you need. They also have small selection of good headphones.

every laptop has a totally standard jack that any ole headphones will work with. unless you're a sound geek, which you are not, you can just choose from the most common headphones. same as for mp3 players. so, go for comfort since you'll have them on your head/in your ears for couple hours at the time.

Yes and yes. Headphone jacks are standardized and come in one of two sizes: 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch. All laptops I've seen have 1/8 inch female jacks. So yes, you can you can use any headphone that works with one laptop with any other laptop.

Edit: 1/8 inch = DrewDad's 3.5 mm.

Thank you all! Good points to take to the store with me. I hadn't thought at all about comfort, Dasha!

Hello friends,
I am new to this forum site. Thanks admin for adding me in this forum site. This forum site is giving really very valuable information regarding my relevant topic where I can find more valuable information.

I've already bought the Creative Labs wireless headphones that use bluetooth and they're horrible!! Takes for ever to get a signal and then they can cut out after about a minute. Anybody have any suggestions for better ones that are also small?? Thanks to all who can help
