3.5 Apple Headphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review it. Honestly, it works great for its intended purpose. I was able to charge my phone and connect Lightning headphones at the same time. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality between plugging the headphones into this product or plugging them straight into my iPhone. They also work perfectly with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter provided by Apple with my phone. The RockStar feels sturdy and uses Apple's signature look well. If it weren't for the Belkin logo on the Lightning plug, this could easily have been mistaken for something made by Apple. It also couldn't be simpler to use. Plug it into the iPhone and plug your headphones and power cord into either available port. There are only two things I could think of to make this product better. First would have been to have one port be a 3.5 mm jack. I only have the one pair of lightning headphones Apple provided and the adapter. I have a pile of old headphones though. My second thought would have been, if you have two Lightning ports on the adapter, let it be used to plug in two sets of headphones to act as a splitter. This may be a limitation set by Apple and not the product itself, but it would add a level of use to the RockStar. If you use Lightning headphones or 3.5 mm headphones with a Lightning adapter, this is a great product to be able to listen to music while you charge your phone. Personally, I use Bluetooth about 99.9% of the time, but I'm glad I have this product for those times I can't.

Goes in better then the apple 3.5 holders that came with the system.

One of the best wireless headphones. I've got the apple EarPods and these are way better.

You know.... I don't really mind that apple got rid of the 3.5mm Jack in favor of wireless, and then completely stopped shipping the adapter dongle with devices But I wish they would figure out how to make the Bluetooth work properly with certain devices, like if you play a video while connected to my Vehicle radio the audio is not synced to the video, I understand this is the vehicles fault but to not even have a setting to correct for that is ridiculous. Direct connections fix this and the belkin usb-c to 3.5mm cable is a far superior and durable solution than apple's easily worn out or damaged dongle

I was reluctant to spend the money for these headphones but decided to go ahead because it would easily function with all my apple products. I'm very happy that I made this choice as the performance exceeded my expectations. They work great within the Apple system as they automatically connect to my Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. The noise canceling is fantastic and allows the sound quality to be enjoyed even on subways and trains. Beware, the sound is so good you can miss a stop if you're not paying attention.

I had to hook a headset (mic and headphones) to a Griffin iMic. The headset has a 4-pin/TRRS 3.5mm plug; the iMic has two jacks, a mic input and headphone outputs; both are 3.5mm 3-pin/TRS. This is the cord that converts it. It works. It's sturdy. I don't think about it. It's surprisingly hard to find these things, so I'm glad B&H stocks them.

Belkin should have made this Headphone splitter adapter from the beginning. It does everything you want. It allows you to use your old 3.5mm headphones, charge your phone while listening to music/talking on phone, allows headphone controls to work, and also allows data passage through for syncing and file transfer. The only thing this doesn't allow is 2 headphones usage (one 3.5mm and one lightning), but Belkin already said that doesn't work on their page and that would be a rarely used option anyways (sharing on a bus or plane?). I'll probably buy another. I have the Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar and now that is wasted now (didn't allow data passage).

I put a mixer audio (3.5) and a broadcast audio (3.5) into the Sescom SES-TRRS-AB in order to get switchable channels into my headphones and this unit works well with NO hum. I previously has a cheaper system with the same connections but it had a hum. No hum in my headphones was worth the cost. Thus the 5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my son. He just got his first iphone and we have a ton of 3.5 mm audio jack headphones. He loves this because it allows him to listen to his tunes while doing chores or running etc. Great little gadget. The only downside is that it does not function as an audio splitter. You can use it as a 3.5mm audio adapter and charge your phone at the same time but you can't plug 2 sets of headphones into it and listen at the same time. That is not the purpose of this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this charging piece for my iPhone. The 3.5 mm Audio + Charge RockStar lets use your headphones while charging your iPhone. Just connect your headphones, speakers, or AUX cable (aka AUX cord) to enjoy music or talk hands free, while you charge. Use the 3.5 mm RockStar at home, at work, in the car, or on the go.
