1/8th" headphones to 1/4th

I was wondering if they sold connections that converted 1/8th inch headphones to 1/4th... I have some real nice headphones but they are a 1/8th inch jack... you think my radioshack will have 'em and how much are they approximately.

Yes, they make them and they're very cheap. I'm sure Radioshack will have them.

Be very careful with your volume when playing through headphones. It is easy to damage your ears with too much volume.

BTW, they are not 1/8". They are officially called Miniature Phone Plugs, commonly called "Mini phone" and measure 3.5mm or about .141 inches. 1/8" would be .125 inches.

I've bought both a 1/8" to 1/4" and a 1/4" to 1/8" from Radio Shack - they won't cost you more than a buck or two.
