I bought the same cord to use one on my phone (I prefer the conference headsets / quality gaming with the headband microphone headsets that I reserve for travel), the second cable is for the output of a tablet (with an output that allows only a narrow connector) to Shure headphones HIFI audiophile ...
Note, however, one might imagine the biggest son, but I was never been a problem ...
