3.5mm is standard for audio jacks on headphones nowadays

Headphones with only speakers

Pretty much everything uses 3.5mm. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

There is no difference between the connectors, other than size.

Headphones with only speakers

 

I think your english is a little blurry. Headphones and speakers are 2 different type of things. 2,5mm and 3,5mm in analog audio plug context look identical, only the size is different. Which one to use of course depends on the jack itself, they're not interchangeable. You could however use a proper adapter, for example 2,5mm to 3,5mm or vice versa.

 

Are you asking because you want to build your own custom system?
