Can I put my TRRS headphones into a TRS jack and would they still work?

Maybe this isn’t the correct community for this question so please correct me.

I am trying to use a lavalier mic with my headphones because the inline mic broke. Can I just insert the TRRS jack from my headphones into a 2 female TRS to male TRRS connecter along with the lav mic? I know the mic sleeve is the last ring so even if it doesn’t go in would that even matter? Is there anything that I should check more about? I’m not too knowledgeable in this regard and would appreciate any help.

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.
