The second ring would be bridged to the ground (which is always what the sleeve is for audio stuff), which would disable the inline mic. You're not using that anyways, so yes, that's fine.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Would there be any connection issues? Weird wobbling or any static and the like?
No, it's just grounding the mic wire, shouldn't affect the speaker wires at all.
Just to add to your answer. This effect of mic beeing grounded when plugging TRRS into TRS jack is by design, to allow compatibility.
Alright, thank you guys!
Yes, that's why they're designed that way, to be compatible both ways.
Same goes for mono jacks in stereo socket and vice versa.
The only problem was over 10 years ago when there were two standards of TRRS, with one of the two connections swapped (so maybe the other one was TRSR or something, I don't remember anymore). So if you used earphones with the other standard, they'd only play sound when you pressed down the button. That thing has been looong abandoned tho, and I think Sony Ericsson was the only major brand using them anyway.
I see. Thanks!
With quality connectors, yes. I've found off-band 1/4" -> 1/8" adapters on AliExpress which don't play nicely with TRRS
Ain't never had problems yet, been doing it for, um, how long ago did they invent trrs?
So you've been using TRRS in TRS jacks for a long time and it hasn't failed? Good to know!
