This one is completely off topic. I'm talking about STEREO headSET(=with mic), 
which usually commes with 2.5mm. 
We are planning to use a 3.5mm 4-ring connector, that complies with usual 
3-ring headPHONES(=w/o mic), and I didn't see an adapter 
3.5/4wire-male->2.5-4w-receptacle yet. So you probably have to DIY, to 
use "standard" headSETs with future OM devices. But you get benefit of 
plug-and-play for classic "Walkman(R)"-headPHONES.
BTW: audio quality and versatility of this connector will be vastly improved, 
if it pans out right.
