Can I use a domestic 3.5mm headphone set?

Question:
Q. The stereo headset supplied with my Nokia smartphone isn't bad for listening to music on the go, but when I'm in a quiet environment (like my boat or caravan) I'd like to use my own set of professional headphones. Can the two be plugged together?
Answer:
A. Yes, you can adapt the standard Nokia Pop-Port to accept normal headphones by using Nokia's new Audio Adapter AD-15. This plugs into the Pop-Port and provides a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone socket. There is one slight catch, though. Even though you may not have ever tried this feature, the standard (supplied) HDS-3 headset includes a microphone and call answering/terminating button. So if a call comes in, you just press the button and talk away. The AD-15 doesn't include a microphone, so you need to unplug the adapter in order to make or receive a phone call. Still, if you're out to relax with some music, you probably don't want to be bothered with incoming calls anyway!

Oh, did you mean the AD-46?
