In case of iOS 5 you should use:

CFStringRef newRoute;
size = sizeof(CFStringRef);
XThrowIfError(AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute, &size, &newRoute), "couldn't get new audio route");
if (newRoute)
{
    CFShow(newRoute);
    if (CFStringCompare(newRoute, CFSTR("HeadsetInOut"), NULL) == kCFCompareEqualTo) // headset plugged in
          {
            colorLevels[0] = .3;                
            colorLevels[5] = .5;
          }
    else if (CFStringCompare(newRoute, CFSTR("SpeakerAndMicrophone"), NULL) == kCFCompareEqualTo)
}
