Longwinded explanation, destroying clickbait 

I think it's time to end clickbait, starting with the one on the right.

The 3.5mm connector on headphones and headsets are not some deep secret. We pay no mind to it because we don't really care about it..unless they're used for AV things, then we tend to.

The rings are only there to seprate the "poles" of the connector itself. That's all it is.

If they weren't there, then..it would be a sound of nonsense.

So, when it comes to poles, they're just the parts of the connector. Headphones tend to have three poles (Left, Right and Ground), while headsets have four (Left, Right, Mic and Ground.)

So there you have it! You don't need a 10 min video explaining it, and it's easier to read, too!

@squeakycheetah

Brightside is kinda notorious as clickbait... about half of their stuff is nonsense like that.
