Since you have a 4a which has a headphone jack, you can manage with just an aux cable, which is a cable with a 3.5mm male headphone jack on both ends (like this one).
If you'd prefer to connect using bluetooth instead of plugging in a cable, there are also Bluetooth kits that you can leave in the car (plugged into the aux input and power) and wirelessly connect your phone to when you're in the car.
Thanks! I will look into that. Could you maybe link me one? I never used an aux cord before. Where would I plug my headphones with that setup?
Would something like this work ?
Would you happen to have a link to the aux cord you have? I know that cheap aux cords can create that annoying sound, but getting one that is built great can indeed get rid of the noise. You won't increase sound quality or anything as some companies claim, but they will get rid of that hissing. I use this one and I never hear a hiss. You may find what you're looking for with this.
Yup. That's how I use mine. It probably is the cable. You may want to try a cheap 3.5mm-3.5mm cable to test it. Something like this should work just for listening - no mic.
EDIT: You may also may want to test another controller if you have one or use the headphones with your phone or laptop or something just to see.
I swapped mine with this Anker brand one.
Pretty well respected company. Tests at around 0.8-0.9 ohms balanced on all channels and has a great feel to it. Would definitely recommend it. Only $5. If it ever goes bad they have great customer service and an 18 month warranty.
There are cables with an even lower resistance, look at the Mediabridge, Zeskit, and KabelDirekt cables. They all test around .4 to .8. They weren't all balanced throughout the channels though, some were around .6 for left,.3 for right, and .8 for ground. I would recommend the Anker one though.
Would also like to point out that generally the longer the cord is the higher resistance it will have. 3-4 feet is usually all I need anyway.
Are you saying you just need a cable like this? http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Auxiliary-Headphones-iPhones-Stereos/dp/B00R124LAK
But i believe most simulators need a usb connection to communicate with their software, not an audio connection through the mic port on the computer.
I was looking into some 3.5mm cables/aux cords aswell, the best one i could find, at a good lenght was this 4ft anker cable, maybe this could be what you're looking for. I also tried to find nylon sleeved/good braided cables but couldn't find ones that would fit my needs.
I can't be of much help but really, these should be recorded to a machine and kept separate from "voicemail" systems altogether.
Probably your best bet is to:
Buy an aux cable - http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Auxiliary-Headphones-iPhones-Stereos/dp/B00R124LAK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443450369&sr=8-2&keywords=aux+cable
Connect it from the old phone to a computer running something like audacity (use WAV or FLAC or AIFF, shouldn't really make a huge difference except file size). Use audacity to record from the phone. It should be decent quality.
Save this in multiple places once you have the files.
If she wants to listen to them on the phone, save the files to icloud drive/google drive/dropbox/etc - or put them in itunes and sync them to the phone that way.
Again, once you do this these are just audio files so no need to think of them as "voicemails" - they will no longer show up as voicemails on the phone, just audio files that can be played from pretty much any computer/device any time.
Does that make sense?
The Apple lighting to 3.5mm cable + any half decent 3.5mm stereo cable would be fine. Personally I'd get a braided one for longevity in the car but it shouldn't impact audio quality. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R124LAK/ notice it is a regular stereo 3.5mm cable NOT TRRS for speaker + microphone
Did you try turning up the volume on your iPhone with the side volume control while music is playing? There also in many cars there's a setting in the menu for aux volume, here's how w/o iDrive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz4x1qsmO9E
If this was my car and it has iPod support I would just be getting a bluetooth kit such as this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-tune2air-parts/allows-for-the-wireless-streaming-of-music-from-your-iphone-ipad-ipod-and-most-android-windows-devices/wma3000b~t2a/
Hello guys, need some help here, not so long ago I bought a new pair of headphones, Phillips Fidelio X2HR, problem is they came only with a 6ft cable, now I want to get a nice 3ft cable and I can't decide which one, my 2 options right now are between a UGREEN brand cable and ANKER

and it does work....with the slight glitches mentioned
Thanks. I remember the aux and phones output on my amp. So will something like this do ?
Most PCs have a 3.5mm microphone input like this, and it looks like the Nintendo Switch has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you should be able to connect the two with any 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, like this.
You'll have to go into the audio mixer/sound settings on your computer (I think this is done by right clicking the volume icon in the bottom right of the task bar) and configure the audio input (coming from the Nintendo Switch) so it will be played back live.
I suggest using the volume buttons on the Switch to turn it's volume down very low at first, then slowly increasing it until it's loud enough. It shouldn't have to be turned up very much, because the audio input is meant for a low power microphone.
Then, you should be able to plug your headset's usb connector into your computer and have audio from both the computer and Nintendo Switch played through your headset.
something like this. you can find them at walmart, target, etc.

You could use just an audio cable. Won't be wireless technically, but it works by plugging it into your controller.
