It's nowhere near as widely used, but there is such a thing as a 2.5mm jack, and you can buy a converter from 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female. Has any telephone handset ever had a 2.5mm headphone jack?
(Presumably no telephone handset has ever had a ¼-inch jack, even in olden times?)
- searedsteak 2y agoI had an HTC Wizard (branded by T-Mobile) many year ago, which had a 2.5mm jack.

- prmoustache 2y agoMy Bose QC 35 headphones have a 2.5mm socket but on the headphones end for when you'd want to use them wired. It came with a cable with a 3.5mm male plug for the source device and the 2.5mm male plug on the side that goes to the headphones. Never seen a wired headset with 2.5mm male plug that goes to the source device however.
- Kirby64 2y agoNot headsets, but Bose ANC headphones have used a 2.5mm jacks for years (and still do). They give you a 2.5 to 3.5mm cable, though. I imagine this is likely just to drive cable sales, though, as there isn’t any real reason you need the 2.5mm jack on their relatively big headphones.
