headphone jack extension.... very disappointing

[makasin]

I just got a brand spankin new iphone and everything is gravy except that I cant plug in any other headphones other than the ones given. Why Apple, was it really necessary? What a stupid/frustrating design decision. Now I have to go buy another part that costs extra that will probably somehow end up breaking the connector. Which is the best extension cord to use so I can plug in my REAL headphones? Not those tinny pieces of crap earbuds that hurt my ears.

none, you would have to buy an adapter, from the standard 1/8th jack to the old school plug. Or make your own.

I just went to WalMart and bought the adapter in the electronics section. Problem solved.
