Yes, I'm rather sure it's the right connector. It's apparently called

Neutrik NP3RCS (a picture can be seen here:

But I just played with it again for the first time in years and figured

out it was my fault all along. When I plugged in the headphones I felt a

snap eventually. When I plugged in my cable I didn't feel that, instead

I noticed that I could move it in and out a fair bit. Well, turns out I

simply never had plugged it in all the way...
All this time I thought it doesn't fit and is thus totally broken, but

while it's probably not a great cable (one of the first things I

soldered) it works well enough.
Sorry for the fuss, thanks for making me try the cable again. Over are

the days when I had to use soundfonts for recording :)
