Its like that so they don't yank out easily. Its just locking them in so they stay secure. Alot of newer phones and iPods use it.

I just tried my Senn PX100's and my Grado SR60's and had no problem inserting or removing.

it's not a problem it just feels like you have to use the slightest amount of force to plug it in. very slight though, nothing too crazy. When you push it all the way you do hear a lock sound so the other poster does make sense.

try using wired headsets with microphones attached... That 4th black ring around the 3.5 jack is the voice...it doesn't go far enough into the jack to work...

I thought the extra force was placed there to help lock in the headphones that would accommodate the radio function, which would explain the gap left.
BTW, Still waiting on the radio function to be turned on.

Isn't this the same with the iPhone? I think the iPhone uses the phone's mic and so you can't use the headset w/mic like you can with a BlackBerry.

I've used 3 different pairs of mic-earbuds/headphones and they all work fine. Sure, you do have a bit of resistance at the end of plugging them in, but it just feels like a 'lock-in' feel to make sure your earbuds are plugged in properly. Mic works on all 3 pairs that I've used.

No problems so far.

I'm getting a new pair of earbuds tomorrow and will try it out as well.

Got my Meelectronics M9P-BK today and they work with my Atrix as well. Mic does what its supposed to do without any 3rd party apps.
