Reddit reviews Valley Enterprises 3.5mm Female to 3.5mm Male TRRS Right Angle Gold Headphone Adapter

I know of one solution, but sadly you have to be rooted. :(

Here is the gist for anyone else who has this:

> If you are rooted, you can completely disable the button until a reflash. That fixed it for me. You'll want to edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and remove the line "key 226 HEADSETHOOK" (or prepend "#") and reboot.

The problem is the LG headphone jack is recognizing the headphones as a TRRS which is used in headsets integrated with microphones instead of just TRS (which is stereo audio headphones).

Lots of users have reported success with using TRRS adapters between the jack and the headphones.

There is absolutely no reason to have a wireless headset for the PS4, because the controller has a headset hookup right on it, which works great. Save yourself $75 to $100 and buy a nice wired headset. All you need to hook it up to the controller is something like this:

If the wire sticking out at the bottom of your controller bothers you, you can also pick up this:

So then this:

ought to work as well, right? Maybe better for in-pocket use because there's no second connection six inches farther up; just at the phone.

A standard 3.5mm male to female extender but it needs to be TRRS (4 pole)

I bought this one for my car and it works perfectly http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4FU52C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm waiting to get this one to keep in my wallet in case I need it at a friends house/party/etc

How old is the old controller? I know that you haven't gotten a response in 3 months, but your most likely problem is that the new controllers have a cheaper alternative for the headphone port. The 4-pole connection shorts out when you try and use higher voltage items like headsets with in-line mics.

You basically will need to simply get an adapter or extension cable. This is one some people have had success with: click here.

Any 4-Pole 3.5mm Female-to-Male adapter will work, however. You'll just need to attach the adapter first, wait 3-5 seconds, then attach your headphones to the jack. Should work after that. If not, you might have a bad controller.

Good luck!
