OMTP is a 3.5mm interface standard for headphones with MIC, commonly referred to as the national standard. The pin connection is (from the small head): left channel - right channel - microphone - ground (pictured). If the 3.5 interface is used with a DV interface, the corresponding one is (from the small head): left channel - right channel - video - ground (pictured), supported companies are Nokia, Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Apple's products are sold in China.CTIA is a 3.5mm interface standard for headphones with MIC and is commonly referred to as an international standard. The pin connection is (from the small head): left channel - right channel - ground line - microphone (pictured). If the 3.5 interface is used with a DV interface, the corresponding one is (from the small head): left channel - right channel - ground line - video (pictured), supported companies have Samsung, Apple (sold outside China) Part), Sony, MOTO, etc.The difference between the two is that the last two sections of the plug, GND and MIC, are in reverse order. Inserting a CTIA headset into an OMTP device can result in small sound and distortion. If the 3.5 socket is equipped with video function, it may appear, the sound is distorted, the sound is small, and there is no video phenomenon.This CTIA and OMTP inter-turn plug can convert the socket with CTIA system into OMTP system through the plug, or the socket with OMTP system can be converted into CTIA system through the adapter.Product size: 8*45mm, gold plated plug. 3 packs.

Short version:
You need one of these adapters. They switch the mic and ground contacts, so they convert between the two standards.
Long version:
The reason it doesn't work at first is because it tries to detect if you have a mic by trying to measure the resistance/continuity between the mic and ground, which if you were using a non-mic audio male plug, would both be shorted to ground. But because it is a TRRS plug not a TRS plug, it decides that you do have a mic and sets itself in TRRS mode but with the wrong ground, thus not working. If you fuck around half plugging it in, you short the mic and ground connectors in the female side of the plug, and convince it that you are using TRS, which makes it kind of work when you fully plug it in, but then you don't get a mic (and get a potentially shitty situation)
Get the connector adapters I linked and thank me later. They're useful for plugging your Apple headphones into devices that expect the other standard (and for connecting your non-Apple headphones into Apple devices for that matter, since they just flip the 2 conductors)
