Hi. I ordered an iphone SE 2020 and need to get an adaptor for wired headphones. The headphones look like this, although they were more like 100 dollars, not 299. I am about to buy an adaptor from Ebay, and just want to make sure I get the right size. I assumed the headphone plug was 2.5 mm but I am seeing mostly lighting to 3.5mm.

Thank you for any help!

3.5mm is by far more common for headphones.

Hmm. So that's what mine likely are, and my AKG as well? They are the same plug size, each of them. So I'll order 3.5 mm. Thank you so much.

From the picture this looks kind of large. More like the standard large headphone plug, in professional headphones.

That looks about the right size. It is nowhere close to the large plug (1/4” or 6.35mm).
