A friend of mine has following laptop

https://www.amazon.in/3581-15-6-inc...FYD9NV95BHK&psc=1&refRID=65P8Y6M52FYD9NV95BHK

what he wants is a converter which can be used so that the same headphone can be used in android mobile phone
and laptop.
If it is visible in the screenshot then you see inside the hole in audio port there is one pin deep inside which is coming out.

So we do not know what is the technical name for such a thing and with what keywords we should search. Let us know hardware terms which we can search in amazon to be used with this laptop Dell Vostro 3568.
 
From the link you've provided, the audio output/input port is the one that is located to the far right of this image

but it looks like yours is on the other side of the laptop where the ODD is located.

Regardless, you will need to source a headset that you will use normally with an iPod or a Smartphone. You could look at headphones that have a 4 pole 3.5mm jack.

Ok what keyword should I search in this link https://www.amazon.in/ to find this kind of thing that you mentioned. Or even in Google to search I am not an expert at headphones etc. The friend wants one headphone that can connect with android phone and this laptop both.
