Customer Reviews

The product description is inaccurate. I selected it because the original iPhone has a recessed headphone jack, unlike later models. This causes a problem for third-party headphone plugs, which are too wide for the narrow recessed area which leads to the jack.
Because this item DOES NOT FIT in this narrow opening, I was unable to use it. My time and money were wasted on this product. I cannot use my third-party headphones with my iPhone. I must use the poor-quality Apple earbuds, or buy another adapter which actually works.
If it had been accurately described, I would not have purchased it!

When I updated my iPhone 3G S case from a simple rubber case to a Speck Products CandyShell Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black/Gray), my 3rd party headphones would no longer fit tightly into the iPhone jack as the opening in the Speck case was too small for the plug. This adapter solves that problem perfectly due to the very narrow plug on the male end.
The connections on both ends of the adapter are very snug.
Thus far I have noticed no negative affects from using this adapter. I have experienced no sound drop-outs or distortions of any kind. My only issue is that when I remove the adapter from iPhone, I do get a rather loud pop through my speakers, even if nothing is playing at the time. But, that is a minor issue for sure.
Given the VERY inexpensive price for this adapter (a similar adapter at RadioShack cost me $9.99) it is cheap enough to replace a couple times a year without too much complaint... And, despite its low cost, it doesn't feel cheap at all. Highly recommended.
