Is the headhpone jack not 3.5mm or am I crazy?

I had 1/4 headphones and I'm using an adapter to plug into the headphone jack. It's a "Hosa GMP-113 1/4" Female To Mini 1/8" TS Male Mono Adaptor" that can be seen here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O47/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It feels super loose and won't stay in. Did I buy the wrong adapater?

@jmchauv For sure that is the wrong adapter as it is mono on both sides. Your 1/4” headphones should have a stereo jack (like they all do), so you need a 1/4” stereo Female to 1/8” (3.5mm) Male stereo adapter.

1/4” stereo Female to 1/8” (3.5mm) Male stereo adapter.
@bschultz8 would this be it?

@jmchauv No, that one is opposite what you need. You say you have 1/4” jack on your headphones, so you need adapter with female end to receive the 1/4” jack from headphones and the other end needs to be a 1/8”/3.5mm male end to go into the Spark headphone jack.
This one is what you need:

There should be enough room between the jack on the Spark and the music volume knob to clear the main body of the adapter.

@bschultz8 Thanks so much, ordered. This has been a pain in my butt and my wife is ready for me to have working headphones :)
